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.
Izraelovi otroci so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod jih je za štirideset let izročil v roko Filistejcev.
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.
Tam pa je bil nek mož iz Core, iz družine Danovcev, katerega ime je bilo Manóah. Njegova žena pa je bila jalova in ni rodila.
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.
Gospodov angel se je prikazal ženski in ji rekel: »Glej torej, jalova si in ne rojevaš, toda spočela boš in rodila sina.
4 And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.
Zdaj se torej pazi, prosim te in ne pij ne vina ne močne pijače in ne jej nobene nečiste stvari,
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.
kajti glej, spočela boš in rodila sina in nobena britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu in on bo začel Izraela osvobajati iz roke Filistejcev.«
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.
Potem je ženska prišla in svojemu soprogu povedala, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel k meni in njegovo obličje je bilo podobno obličju Božjega angela, zelo strašno. Toda nisem ga vprašala, od kje je bil niti mi ni povedal svojega imena,
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.
toda rekel mi je: ›Glej, spočela boš in rodila sina. Sedaj ne pij ne vina niti močne pijače, tudi ne jej nobene nečiste stvari, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu do dneva svoje smrti.‹«
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.
Potem je Manóah rotil Gospoda in rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, naj Božji mož, ki si ga poslal, ponovno pride k nama in naju pouči, kaj bova storila otroku, ki bo rojen.«
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.
Bog je prisluhnil Manóahovemu glasu in Božji angel je ponovno prišel k ženski, medtem ko je sedela na polju, toda njen soprog Manóah ni bil z njo.
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.
Ženska je pohitela, stekla in pokazala svojemu soprogu ter mu rekla: »Glej, mož se mi je prikazal, ki je prišel k meni oni dan.«
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.
Manóah je vstal in odšel za svojo ženo in prišel k možu ter mu rekel: » Ali si ti mož, ki govoriš ženski?« Rekel je: »Jaz sem.«
12 And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?
Manóah je rekel: »Sedaj naj se tvoje besede zgodijo. Kako naj določiva otroku in kako mu bova storila?«
13 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Pred vsem, kar sem rekel ženski, naj se ona pazi.
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.
Ne sme jesti nobene stvari, ki prihaja od vina, niti naj ne pije vina ali močne pijače, niti naj ne jé nobene nečiste stvari; vsega, kar sem ji zapovedal, naj se drži.«
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.
Manóah je rekel Gospodovemu angelu: »Prosim te, naj te zadrživa, dokler zate ne bova pripravila kozlička.«
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.
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Čeprav me zadržiš, ne bom jedel od vajinega kruha. Če pa hočeš darovati žgalno daritev, jo moraš darovati Gospodu.« Kajti Manóah ni vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
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?
Manóah je Gospodovemu angelu rekel: »Kakšno je tvoje ime, potem ko se izpolnijo tvoje besede, da ti lahko izkaževa čast?«
18 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Gospodov angel mu je rekel: »Zakaj sprašuješ po mojem imenu, glede na to, da je to skrivnost?«
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.
Tako je Manóah vzel kozliča z jedilno daritvijo in ga na skali daroval Gospodu in angel je čudežno storil in Manóah in njegova žena sta to videla.
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.
Kajti pripetilo se je, ko se je plamen iz oltarja povzpel proti nebu, da se je Gospodov angel dvignil v oltarnem plamenu. Manóah in njegova žena sta pogledala na to in padla na svoja obraza k tlom.
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.
Toda Gospodov angel se ni več prikazal Manóahu in njegovi ženi. Potem je Manóah vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Manóah je svoji ženi rekel: »Midva bova zagotovo umrla, ker sva videla Boga.«
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.
Toda njegova žena mu je rekla: »Če bi Gospodu ugajalo, da naju ubije, ne bi pri najinih rokah sprejel žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, niti nama ne bi pokazal vseh teh stvari, niti nama ob tem času ne bi povedal takšnih stvari, kot so te.«
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
Ženska je rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Samson. In otrok je rastel in Gospod ga je blagoslovil.
25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
In Gospodov Duh ga je občasno začel spodbujati v Danovem taboru, med Coro in Eštaólom.
