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.
Fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men a Filisten yo pandan karant ane.
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
Te gen yon sèten nonm nan Tsorea nan fanmi Danit yo, ki te rele Manoach. Madanm li te esteril e li pa t janm fè pitit.
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.
Konsa, zanj SENYÈ a te parèt a fanm nan e te di li: “Gade byen, koulye a, ou esteril e ou pa janm fè pitit, men ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Konsa, fè atansyon pou pa bwè diven, oswa okenn bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp.
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.
Paske, gade byen, ou va vin ansent e bay nesans a yon fis. Nanpwen razwa k ap vini sou tèt li. Paske gason an va yon Nazareyen pou Bondye depi nan vant. Li va kòmanse delivre Israël soti nan men a Filisten yo.”
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.
Epi fanm nan te vin pale mari li. Li te di: “Yon nonm Bondye te vin kote m; aparans li te tankou aparans a yon zanj Bondye, byen mèvèye. Epi mwen pa t mande li kote li te sòti, ni li pa t di mwen non li.
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.
Men li te di mwen: ‘Gade byen, ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis. Soti koulye a, ou p ap bwè diven ni bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp, paske gason an va yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant jis rive jou ke li mouri an.’”
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.
Alò, Manoach te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O SENYÈ, souple kite nonm Bondye ke Ou te voye vin kote nou an ankò pou l kapab enstwi nou kisa pou nou fè pou gason k ap vin fèt la.”
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,
Bondye te koute vwa a Manoach, epi zanj Bondye a te vini ankò vè fanm nan pandan li te chita nan chan an. Men Manoach, mari li a, pa t avè l.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
Konsa, fanm nan te kouri vit di mari li: “Gade byen, nonm ki te vini lòt jou a te parèt devan m.”
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.
Konsa, Manoach te leve swiv fanm li an e lè li te vin kote nonm nan, li te di li: “Èske ou se nonm Bondye ki te pale avèk fanm mwen?” Epi li te di: “Mwen se li”.
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?
Manoach te di: “Alò, lè pawòl ou yo vin akonpli, kijan de vi ak vokasyon gason sila a va genyen?”
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:
Konsa, nonm Bondye a te di a Manoach: “Kite fanm nan byen okipe tout sa ke m te di li yo.
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.
Li pa dwe manje anyen ki sòti nan chan rezen, ni bwè diven, ni bwason fò, ni manje okenn bagay ki pa pwòp. Kite li swiv tout sa ke m te kòmande yo.”
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.
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Souple, pèmèt nou fè ou fè yon ti reta pou nou kab prepare yon jenn kabrit pou ou.”
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.
Zanj SENYÈ a te di a Manoach: “Malgre ou fè m fè reta a, mwen p ap manje manje ou. Men si ou prepare yon ofrann brile, alò, ofri li bay SENYÈ a.” Paske Manoach pa t konnen ke li te yon zanj SENYÈ a.
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Kòman yo rele ou, dekwa ke lè pawòl ou yo vin rive pou nou kapab onore ou?”
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
Men zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen, akoz nou wè li depase konnesans?”
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.
Konsa, Manoach te pran jenn kabrit la avèk ofrann sereyal la pou te ofri li sou wòch SENYÈ a. Epi Li menm, zanj SENYÈ a, te fè mèvèy pandan Manoach avèk madanm li t ap gade.
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.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè flanm nan te monte sou lotèl la vè syèl la, ke zanj SENYÈ a te monte nan flanm lotèl la. Lè Manoach avèk madanm li te wè sa, yo te tonbe atè sou figi yo.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a pa t vin parèt a Manoach ni madanm li ankò. Konsa, Manoach te vin konnen ke se te zanj SENYÈ a ke li te ye.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
Epi Manoach te di a madanm li: “Anverite, n ap mouri, paske nou te wè Bondye.”
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.
Men madanm li te di li: “Si SENYÈ a te vle touye nou, Li pa t ap aksepte ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal la soti nan men nou, ni Li pa t ap montre nou tout bagay sila yo, ni Li pa t ap kite nou tande tout bagay sa yo konsa nan moman sa a.”
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Fanm nan te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Samson. Pitit la te vin gran e SENYÈ a te beni li.
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
Lespri SENYÈ a te kòmanse vire nan li nan kan Dan nan, antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol.
