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.
Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka ya ba da su a hannun Filistiyawa shekara arba’in.
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
Akwai wani mutumin Zora, mai suna Manowa, daga kabilar Dan, matarsa kuwa bakararriya ce, ba ta haihuwa.
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.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gare ta ya ce, “Ga shi ke bakararriya ce ba kya haihuwa, amma za ki yi ciki ki kuma haifi ɗa.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
To, sai ki lura kada ki sha ruwan inabi ko wani abu mai sa maye, kada kuma ki ci wani abu marar tsarki,
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.
gama za ki yi ciki, ki haifi ɗa. Aska ba za tă taɓa kansa ba, domin yaron zai zama Banazare, keɓaɓɓe ga Allah tun daga haihuwa, shi ne kuwa zai soma ceton Isra’ilawa daga hannuwan Filistiyawa.”
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.
Sa’an nan matar ta tafi wajen mijinta ta faɗa masa cewa, “Wani mutumin Allah ya zo wurina. Ya yi kama da mala’ikan Allah, yana da bantsoro ƙwarai. Ban tambaye shi inda ya fito ba, kuma bai gaya mini sunansa ba.
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.
Sai dai ya ce mini, ‘Za ki yi ciki, ki kuma haifi ɗa. To, fa, kada ki sha ruwan inabi ko abu mai sa maye kada kuma ki ci abin da yake marar tsarki, gama ɗan zai zama Banazare na Allah tun daga haihuwa har ranar mutuwarsa.’”
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.
Sai Manowa ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ina roƙonka, bari mutumin Allahn da ka aiko mana yă sāke zuwa don yă koya mana yadda za mu goyi yaron da za a haifa.”
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,
Allah ya ji Manowa, sai mala’ikan Allah ya sāke zuwa wurin matar yayinda take gona; amma Manowa mijinta ba ya tare da ita.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
Sai matar ta ruga don ta faɗa wa mijinta, ta ce, “Ga shi ya zo! Mutumin da ya bayyana mini ran nan!”
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.
Manowa ya tashi ya bi matarsa. Da ya zo wurin mutumin, sai ya ce, “Kai ne wanda ka yi magana da matata?” Ya ce, “Ni ne.”
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?
Saboda haka Manowa ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Sa’ad da maganarka ta cika, me za tă zama dokar rayuwar yaron da kuma aikinsa?”
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:
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Dole matarka ta kiyaye duk abin da na riga na gaya mata.
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.
Kada tă ci kowane iri abin da ya fito daga inabi, ba kuwa za tă sha ruwan inabi, ko abu mai sa maye ko ta ci abu marar tsarki ba. Dole tă kiyaye duk abin da na umarce mata.”
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.
Manowa ya ce wa mala’ikan Ubangiji, “Muna roƙonka ka jira mu yanka maka ɗan akuya.”
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.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Ko kun sa na tsaya, ba zan ci abincinku ba. Amma in kun shirya hadaya ta ƙonawa, ku miƙa wa Ubangiji.” (Manowa bai gane cewa mala’ikan Ubangiji ne ba.)
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
Sa’an nan Manowa ya sāke tambayi mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Mene ne sunanka, don mu girmama ka sa’ad da maganarka ta tabbata.”
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
Ya ce, “Me ya sa kake tambaya sunana? Ai, ya wuce fahimta.”
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.
Sa’an nan Manowa ya ɗauki ɗan akuya, tare da hadaya ta hatsi ya miƙa wa Ubangiji a kan dutse. Ubangiji kuwa ya yi abin mamaki yayinda Manowa da matarsa suke kallo.
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.
Yayinda harshen wuta ya yi sama daga bagaden, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya haura cikin harshen wutar. Da ganin wannan Manowa da matarsa suka fāɗi da fuskokinsu har ƙasa.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
Da mala’ikan Ubangiji bai ƙara bayyana kansa ga Manowa da matarsa ba, sai Manowa ya gane cewa mala’ikan Ubangiji ne.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
Ya ce wa matar, “Ba shakka za mu mutu, gama mun ga Allah!”
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.
Amma matar ta ce, “Da Ubangiji yana nufin kashe mu ne, da ba zai karɓi hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta hatsi daga hannunmu, ko yă nuna mana dukan waɗannan abubuwa ko abin da ya gaya mana ba.”
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Matar kuwa ta haifi ɗa, aka sa masa suna Samson. Ya yi girma Ubangiji kuma ya albarkace shi,
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya fara iza shi yayinda yake a Mahane Dan, tsakanin Zora da Eshtawol.
