Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
VaIsraeri vakaitazve zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, saka Jehovha akavaisa mumaoko avaFiristia kwamakore makumi mana.
2 And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.
Mumwe murumwe weZora ainzi Manoa, aibva muimba yavaDhani, akanga ane mukadzi akanga asingabereki, asina mwana.
3 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
Mutumwa waJehovha akazviratidza kwaari uye akati, “Iwe haubereki uye hauna mwana, asi uchava nemimba uye ugova nomwanakomana.
4 And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.
Zvino uone kuti warega kunwa waini kana zvimwe zvokunwa zvakaviriswa uye kuti urege kudya chinhu chipi zvacho chisina kuchena,
5 For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
nokuti uchava nemimba uye uchabereka mwanakomana. Chisvo hachifaniri kuveura musoro wake, nokuti mukomana anofanira kuva muNaziri, akatsaurirwa kuna Mwari kubva pakuzvarwa kwake, uye ndiye achatanga kusunungura vaIsraeri kubva mumaoko avaFiristia.”
6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.
Ipapo mukadzi akaenda kumurume wake akandomuudza akati, “Munhu waMwari asvika kwandiri. Anga achiratidzika somutumwa waMwari, anotyisa kwazvo. Handina kumubvunza kuti abva kupi, uye haana kundiudza zita rake.
7 And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to the day of his death.
Asi ati kwandiri, ‘Uchava nemimba uye uchabereka mwanakomana. Zvino, chirega kunwa waini kana zvimwe zvokunwa zvakaviriswa uye usadya chinhu chipi zvacho chisina kuchena, nokuti mukomana achava muNaziri waMwari kubva pakuzvarwa kwake kusvikira pazuva raanofa.’”
8 Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
Ipapo Manoa akanyengetera kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinokukumbirai, regai munhu waMwari wamakatuma kwatiri adzokezve kuti azotidzidzisa kurera kwatingaita mukomana achazozvarwa.”
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Mwari akanzwa Manoa, uye mutumwa waMwari akauyazve kumukadzi panguva yaakanga ari kumunda; asi murume wake Manoa akanga asipo paari.
10 Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.
Mukadzi akakurumidza kundoudza murume wake kuti, “Ari pano! Murume uya akazviratidza kwandiri zuva riya!”
11 And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am.
Manoa akasimuka akatevera mukadzi wake. Akati asvika pamurume uya, akati, “Ndimi here makataura kumukadzi wangu?” Iye akati, “Ndini.”
12 And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?
Saka Manoa akamubvunza akati, “Mashoko enyu paachazadziswa, mutemo unofanira kutevedzwa paupenyu hwomukomana napabasa rake ndoupi?”
13 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:
Mutumwa waJehovha akapindura akati, “Mukadzi wako anofanira kuita zvose zvandakamuudza.
14 she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe.
Haafaniri kudya chinhu chipi zvacho chinobva pamuzambiringa, uye kunwa waini ipi zvayo kana zvimwe zvokunwa zvakaviriswa kana kudya chinhu chipi zvacho chisina kuchena. Anofanira kuita zvose zvandakamurayira.”
15 And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.
Manoa akati kumutumwa waJehovha, “Tingada kuti mumbogara kusvikira takugadzirirai kambudzana.”
16 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.
Mutumwa waJehovha akapindura akati, “Kunyange dai mukandibata henyu, handingadyi chokudya chenyu chipi zvacho. Asi kana muchigadzira chipiriso chinopiswa, chipei kuna Jehovha.” (Manoa haana kuziva kuti akanga ari mutumwa Jehovha.)
17 And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?
Ipapo Manoa akabvunza mutumwa waJehovha akati, “Zita renyu ndianiko, kuitira kuti tigokukudzai pachazadziswa shoko renyu?”
18 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Akapindura akati, “Unobvunzireiko zita rangu? Haringanzwisisiki.”
19 Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Ipapo Manoa akatora kambudzana, pamwe chete nechipiriso chezviyo, akazvibayira kuna Jehovha paruware. Uye Jehovha akaita chinhu chinoshamisa, Manoa nomukadzi wake vakatarisa:
20 And it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground.
Murazvo wemoto wakati uchikwira kubva paaritari wakananga kudenga, mutumwa waJehovha akakwira ari mumurazvo. Vakati vaona izvi, Manoa nomukadzi wake vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo.
21 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah.
Asi mutumwa waJehovha haana kuzozviratidzazve kuna Manoa nomukadzi wake, ipapo Manoa akaziva kuti akanga ari mutumwa waJehovha.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Akati, “Tichafa zvirokwazvo! Taona Mwari!”
23 But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and an oblation at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would he at this time have told us [such things] as these.
Asi mukadzi wake akati, “Kana Jehovha anga achida kutiuraya, angadai asina kugamuchira chipiriso chinopiswa nechipiriso chezviyo kubva mumaoko edu, uye angadai asina kutiratidza zvinhu zvose izvi kana kutiudza izvi zvino.”
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
Mukadzi akasununguka mwanakomana uye akamutumidza zita rokuti Samusoni. Akakura uye Jehovha akamuropafadza,
25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
uye Mweya waJehovha wakatanga kumumutsa paakanga ari paMahane Dhani, pakati peZora neEshitaori.
