< 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.
Un Israēla bērni darīja joprojām, kas Tam Kungam nepatika; tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Fīlistu rokā četrdesmit gadus.
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
Un tur bija viens vīrs no Careas, no Dana cilts, un viņa vārds bija Manoūs, un viņa sieva bija neauglīga un nedzemdēja.
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.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis parādījās tai sievai un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi neauglīga un neesi dzemdējusi, bet tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Tad nu sargies un nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena un neēd nekā, kas nešķīsts.
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.
Jo redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, kam uz galvu nebūs nākt nekādam dzenamam nazim, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts (nazīrs) no mātes miesām, un viņš sāks Israēli izpestīt no Fīlistu rokas.
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.
Tad tā sieva nāca un runāja uz savu vīru un sacīja: viens Dieva vīrs pie manis atnāca; viņa ģīmis bija kā Dieva eņģeļa ģīmis, ļoti bijājams, un es viņu nevaicāju, no kurienes tas esot, un viņš man arī savu vārdu neteica.
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.
Bet viņš uz mani sacīja: redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, un nu nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena, nedz ēd ko, kas nešķīsts, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts no mātes miesām līdz pat savai nāves dienai.
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.
Tad Manoūs pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja: Ak Kungs, lai jel tas Dieva vīrs, ko Tu esi sūtījis, atkal pie mums atnāk un mums māca, ko lai ar to bērnu darām, kas piedzims.
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,
Un Dievs paklausīja Manoūs balsi, un tas Dieva eņģelis nāca atkal pie tās sievas; un viņa sēdēja tīrumā, bet Manoūs, viņas vīrs, nebija pie viņas.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
Tad tā sieva steidzās un skrēja un to pasacīja savam vīram, un uz to sacīja: redzi, tas vīrs man parādījies, kas tai dienā pie manis nāca.
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.
Tad Manoūs cēlās un gāja savai sievai pakaļ un nāca pie tā vīra un uz to sacīja: vai tu esi tas vīrs, kas uz to sievu runājis? Un tas sacīja: es tas esmu.
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?
Tad Manoūs sacīja: kad nu tas notiks, ko tu sacījis, kāds tikums tad būs tam zēnam un kāds būs viņa darbs?
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:
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū: no visa, ko es uz to sievu esmu runājis, viņai būs sargāties.
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.
Viņai nebūs ēst nekā, kas no vīna koka izaug, un viņai nebūs dzert ne vīna, ne stipra dzēriena, nedz ēst, kas nešķīsts, visu, ko es viņai esmu pavēlējis, viņai būs turēt.
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.
Tad Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: lūdzams, pakavējies un mēs sataisīsim priekš tevis kazlēnu.
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.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū; jebšu tu mani uzkavētu, tomēr es no tavas maizes neēdīšu, bet ja tu gribi dedzināmo upuri pienest, to tu Tam Kungam vari upurēt. Jo Manoūs nezināja, viņu esam Tā Kunga eņģeli.
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
Un Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: kā tavs vārds? Ka tevi varam godāt, kad notiks pēc tava vārda.
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu tā vaicā pēc Mana Vārda, kas taču ir brīnišķīgs?
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.
Tad Manoūs ņēma kazlēnu un to ēdamo upuri, un to upurēja Tam Kungam uz tās klints; un viņš darīja brīnumu un Manoūs un viņa sieva skatījās.
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.
Jo kad liesma no altāra virsas šāvās pret debesi, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uzkāpa altāra liesmā. Un Manoūs un viņa sieva to redzēja un metās pie zemes uz saviem vaigiem.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis neparādījās vairs ne Manoūm, nedz viņa sievai. Tad Manoūs atzina, ka tas bija Tā Kunga eņģelis.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
Un Manoūs sacīja uz savu sievu: mēs tiešām mirsim, jo mēs esam Dievu redzējuši.
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.
Bet viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: kad Tas Kungs mūs gribētu nokaut, tad Viņš to dedzināmo upuri un ēdamo upuri nebūtu pieņēmis no mūsu rokām; Viņš arī visas šīs lietas mums nebūtu parādījis, nedz mums to licis dzirdēt šai laikā.
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Un tā sieva dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Simsons, un tas zēns uzauga, un Tas Kungs to svētīja.
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
Un Tā Kunga Gars viņu sāka skubināt Dana lēģerī starp Careu un Estaoli.
