Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA hmalah yonnae bout a sak awh. BAWIPA ni kum 40 touh thung Filistinnaw e kut dawk ao sak.
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
Hatnavah, Dan miphun, Zorah tami buet touh ao, a min teh Manoah doeh. Ahni teh a carôe, ca tawn roi hoeh.
3 And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
BAWIPA ni kalvantami hah napui koe a kamphawng sak teh, ahni koe khenhaw! ca na roe teh, camo na vawn boihoeh. Hatei, camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han atipouh.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Hatdawkvah, misurtui hoi yamu net laipalah, kâhruetcuet, kathounghoehe banghai cat hanh.
5 Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother’s womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, khenhaw! camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han. A lû dawk lûngawnae na hno mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, camo teh manu von thung hoi Cathut hanelah, Nazirite tami lah ao han. Ahni ni Isarelnaw hah Filistin kut dawk hoi a rungngang han telah atipouh.
6 And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.
Napui ni a vâ koe vah, Cathut e tami buet touh kai koe a tho teh, a mei teh kalvantami patetlah doeh ao. Bari kaawm poung e lah ao. Hatei, nâ lae tami maw tie ka pacei hoeh. A min hai dei hoeh.
7 But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb until the day of his death.
Kai koe khenhaw! camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han. Misur hoi yamu roeroe net hanh. Ka thoung hoeh e hai net hanh. Camo teh manu von thung aonae koehoi a due totouh, Cathut hanlah Nazirite tami lah ao han telah ati.
8 Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.
Manoah ni, BAWIPA koevah a ratoum teh, Oe BAWIPA, Cathut e tami na tha e hah kai koe bout tho sak nateh, ka tâcawt hane camo tak dawk bangmaw ka sak han, na patue naseh atipouh.
9 And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,
Cathut ni Manoah lawk a thai pouh teh, napui law a tahungnae koe kalvantami teh bout a tho pouh. A vâ Manoah teh haw la awm hoeh.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
Hote napui teh, karanglah a yawng teh, a vâ koe a dei pouh. A vâ koe, khenhaw! yampouh ka dei e hah kai koe bout a kamphawng atipouh.
11 He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.
Manoah teh a thaw teh, a yu hnuk a kâbang. Hote tami koe a pha teh, Nang na maw, napui koe lawk na ka dei e vaw atipouh. Ahni ni hai, oe atipouh.
12 And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?
Manoah ni na lawk patetlah kuep lawiseh. Camo teh bangtelamaw ao han. Bangmaw a tawk han telah a pacei.
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:
BAWIPA kalvantami ni, napui koe ka dei e naw pueng hah kahawicalah pouk.
14 And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfill and observe.
Misurkung dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng cat mahoeh. Misurtui hoi Yamu net mahoeh. Kathoung hoeh e naw pueng hai banghai cat mahoeh. Kai ni kâ na poe e naw pueng kahawicalah na pâkuem han atipouh.
15 And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.
Manoah ni BAWIPA e kalvantami koevah, pahren lahoi na haw einei, nang hanelah hmaeca ka thet einei telah atipouh.
16 And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.
BAWIPA kalvantami ni, na ka haw nakunghai, nange rawca teh ka cat mahoeh. Hahoi, hmaisawi thuengnae na sak boipawiteh, BAWIPA koe poe loe atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Manoah ni BAWIPA kalvantami doeh tie panuek hoeh.
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
Manoah ni, BAWIPA e kalvantami koevah, na dei e patetlah akuep torei teh, kai ni na pholen thai nahanelah, na min apimaw telah a pacei.
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, bangkongmaw ka min na pacei. Kângairu e doeh atipouh.
19 Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
Hottelah, Manoah ni ca hanelah hmaeca thuengnae dawk hoi a la teh, lungsong van BAWIPA koe a poe. Manoah hoi a yu ni a khet lahun nah, ahni ni kângairu hno a sak pouh.
20 And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.
Hatnavah, thuengnae khoungroe dawk hoi hmaito kalvan lah a luen navah, BAWIPA kalvantami teh, hote hmai dawk hoi a luen. Manoah hoi a yu ni hote a hmu roi navah, talai dawk a tabo roi.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA kalvantami teh, Manoah hoi a yu koe bout kamphawng pouh hoeh toe. Hahoi teh, Manoah ni BAWIPA kalvantami tie hah a panue.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
Manoah ni, a yu koevah, Cathut hmu awh dawkvah, due mingming han doeh toe atipouh.
23 And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.
Hatei, a yu ni, BAWIPA ni thei han na nout pawiteh, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi rawca thuengnae hah maimae kut dawk hoi a dâw han yaw maw, hetnaw hai atuvah na dei pouh mahoeh telah atipouh.
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Hahoi teh, napui ni ca tongpa a khe. A min Samson telah a phung. Hote camo a roung teh, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe.
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
Zorah hoi Eshtaol rahak e Mahaneh, Dan vah BAWIPA e Muitha hah a tak dawk kâroe hanlah a kamtawng.
