< 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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì túnṣe ohun tí ó burú ní ojú Olúwa, Olúwa sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ará Filistini lọ́wọ́ fún ogójì ọdún.
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.
Ọkùnrin ará Sora kan wà, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Manoa láti ẹ̀yà Dani. Aya rẹ̀ yàgàn kò sì bímọ.
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.
Angẹli Olúwa fi ara han obìnrin náà, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ yàgàn, ìwọ kò sì tí ì bímọ, ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.
4 And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.
Báyìí rí i dájúdájú pé ìwọ kò mu wáìnì tàbí ọtí líle kankan àti pé ìwọ kò jẹ ohun aláìmọ́ kankan,
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.
nítorí ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Má ṣe fi abẹ kan orí rẹ̀, nítorí pé Nasiri, ẹni ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run ni ọmọ náà yóò jẹ́ láti ọjọ́ ìbí rẹ̀. Òun ni yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìdáǹdè àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni obìnrin náà tọ ọkọ rẹ̀ lọ, o sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ̀ mí wá. Ó jọ angẹli Ọlọ́run, ó ba ènìyàn lẹ́rù gidigidi. Èmi kò béèrè ibi tí ó ti wá, òun náà kò sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ fún mi.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó sọ fún mi wí pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, fún ìdí èyí, má ṣe mu wáìnì tàbí àwọn ọtí líle mìíràn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ má ṣe jẹ ohunkóhun tí í ṣe aláìmọ́, nítorí pé Nasiri Ọlọ́run ni ọmọ náà yóò jẹ́ láti ọjọ́ ìbí rẹ̀ títí di ọjọ́ ikú rẹ̀.’”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Manoa gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé, “Háà Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ìwọ rán sí wa padà tọ̀ wá wá láti kọ́ wa bí àwa yóò ti ṣe tọ́ ọmọ tí àwa yóò bí náà.”
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.
Ọlọ́run fetí sí ohùn Manoa, angẹli Ọlọ́run náà tún padà tọ obìnrin náà wá nígbà tí ó wà ní oko ṣùgbọ́n ọkọ rẹ̀ Manoa kò sí ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà ni obìnrin náà ṣe yára lọ sọ fún ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ọkùnrin tí ó fi ara hàn mí ní ọjọ́sí ti tún padà wá.”
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 yára dìde, ó sì tẹ̀lé aya rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà ó ní, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni o bá obìnrin yìí sọ̀rọ̀?” Ọkùnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
12 And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?
Manoa bi ọkùnrin náà pé, “Nígbà tí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bá ṣẹ kí ni yóò jẹ́ ìlànà fún ìgbé ayé àti iṣẹ́ ọmọ náà?”
13 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:
Angẹli Olúwa náà dáhùn wí pé, “Aya rẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe gbogbo ohun tí mo ti sọ fún un
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.
kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó bá ti inú èso àjàrà jáde wá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ mu wáìnì tàbí àwọn ọtí líle mìíràn tàbí jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó bá jẹ́ aláìmọ́. Ó ní láti ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un.”
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 sọ fún angẹli Olúwa náà pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ dára dúró títí àwa yóò fi pèsè ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan fún ọ.”
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.
Angẹli Olúwa náà dá Manoa lóhùn pé, “Bí ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ dá mi dúró, èmi kì yóò jẹ ọ̀kankan nínú oúnjẹ tí ẹ̀yin yóò pèsè. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ ẹ pèsè ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, kí ẹ sì fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.” (Manoa kò mọ̀ pé angẹli Olúwa ní i ṣe.)
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?
Manoa sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli Olúwa náà pé, “Kí ni orúkọ rẹ, kí àwa bá à lè fi ọlá fún ọ nígbà tí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bá ṣẹ?”
18 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli Olúwa náà dáhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń béèrè orúkọ mi? Ìyanu ni, ó kọjá ìmọ̀.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Manoa mú ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́, pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ọkà, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ lórí àpáta kan sí Olúwa. Nígbà tí Manoa àti ìyàwó dúró tí wọn ń wò Olúwa ṣe ohun ìyanu kan.
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.
Bí ẹ̀là ahọ́n iná ti là jáde láti ibi pẹpẹ ìrúbọ náà sí ọ̀run, angẹli Olúwa gòkè re ọ̀run láàrín ahọ́n iná náà. Nígbà tí wọ́n rí ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ yìí, Manoa àti aya rẹ̀ wólẹ̀ wọ́n sì dojúbolẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí angẹli Olúwa náà kò tún fi ara rẹ̀ han Manoa àti aya rẹ̀ mọ́, Manoa wá mọ̀ pé angẹli Olúwa ni.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Manoa sọ fún aya rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú àwa yóò kú nítorí àwa ti fi ojú rí Ọlọ́run.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìyàwó rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Bí Olúwa bá ní èrò àti pa wá kò bá tí gba ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ ọkà wa, tàbí fi gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí hàn wá tó sọ nǹkan ìyanu yìí fún wa.”
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
Obìnrin náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Samsoni. Ọmọ náà dàgbà Olúwa sì bùkún un.
25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ru sókè nígbà tí ó wà ní Mahane-Dani ní agbede-méjì Sora àti Eṣtaoli.
