Judges 13
1 The Israelites continued to do what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines to rule them for forty years.
E os filhos d'Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e o Senhor os entregou na mão dos philisteos por quarenta annos.
2 At that time there was a man named Manoah. He was from the tribe of Dan and lived in the town of Zorah. His wife couldn't conceive and had no children.
E havia um homem de Zora, da tribu de Dan, cujo nome era Manué: e sua mulher era esteril, e não paria.
3 The Angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her, “It's true that you couldn't conceive, and have no children, but now you're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.
E o anjo do Senhor appareceu a esta mulher, e disse-lhe: Eis que agora és esteril, e nunca tens parido; porém conceberás, e parirás um filho.
4 So then please be careful not to drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean.
Agora, pois, guarda-te de que bebas vinho, ou bebida forte, ou comas coisa immunda.
5 You're going to become pregnant and have a son whose head a razor must never touch, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth. He will start the process of saving Israel from the Philistines.”
Porque eis que tu conceberás e parirás um filho sobre cuja cabeça não subirá navalha: porquanto o menino será nazireo de Deus desde o ventre: e elle começará a livrar a Israel da mão dos philisteos.
6 The woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. He looked like the Angel of God, really frightening. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't did not tell me his name.
Então a mulher entrou, e fallou a seu marido, dizendo: Um homem de Deus veiu a mim, cuja vista era similhante á vista d'um anjo de Deus, terribilissima: e não lhe perguntei d'onde era, nem elle me disse o seu nome;
7 But he told me, ‘You're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean. For the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth until the day of his death.’”
Porém disse-me: Eis que tu conceberás e parirás um filho: agora pois não bebas vinho, nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa immunda; porque o menino será nazireo de Deus, desde o ventre até ao dia da sua morte.
8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent us return to us to explain what we're supposed to do with the boy who is to be born.”
Então Manué orou instantemente ao Senhor, e disse: Ah! Senhor meu, rogo-te que o homem de Deus, que enviaste, ainda venha para nós outra vez e nos ensine o que devemos fazer ao menino que ha de nascer.
9 God responded to Manoah's request, and the Angel of God returned to the woman while she was sitting out in the field. However, her husband Manoah was not with her.
E Deus ouviu a voz de Manué: e o anjo de Deus veiu outra vez á mulher, e ella estava no campo, porém não estava com ella seu marido Manué.
10 So she ran quickly to tell her husband, “Look! The man who appeared to me the other day has come back!”
Apressou-se pois a mulher, e correu, e noticiou-o a seu marido, e disse-lhe: Eis que aquelle homem que veiu a mim o outro dia me appareceu.
11 Manoah got up and went back with his wife, and asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife before?” “Yes I am,” he replied.
Então Manué levantou-se, e seguiu a sua mulher, e veiu áquelle homem, e disse-lhe: És tu aquelle homem que fallaste a esta mulher? E disse: Eu sou
12 So Manoah said, “May your promise come true! What shall be decided for the boy, and what is to be his vocation?”
Então disse Manué: Cumpram-se as tuas palavras: mas qual será o modo de viver e serviço do menino?
13 “Make sure your wife is careful to follow everything I told her,” the angel of the Lord replied.
E disse o anjo do Senhor a Manué: De tudo quanto eu disse á mulher se guardará ella.
14 “She must not eat anything that comes from the vine or drink wine or any other alcoholic drink. She must not eat anything unclean. Your wife must follow everything I instructed her to do.”
De tudo quanto procede da vide de vinho não comerá, nem vinho nem bebida forte beberá, nem coisa immunda comerá: tudo quanto lhe tenho ordenado guardará.
15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us keep you here while we prepare a meal of a young goat for you.”
Então Manué disse ao anjo do Senhor: Ora deixa que te detenhamos, e te preparemos um cabrito.
16 The angel of the Lord replied, “I'll stay, but I won't eat your food. However, if you prepare a burnt offering, you can present it to the Lord.” (Manoah didn't know he was the angel of the Lord.)
Porém o anjo do Senhor disse a Manué: Ainda que me detenhas, não comerei de teu pão; e se fizeres holocausto o offerecerás ao Senhor. Porque não sabia Manué que fosse o anjo do Senhor
17 Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so when your promise comes true we may honor you?”
E disse Manué ao anjo do Senhor: Qual é o teu nome? para que, quando se cumprir a tua palavra, te honremos.
18 “Why do you ask this?” the angel of the Lord responded. “My name is beyond comprehension.”
E o anjo do Senhor lhe disse: Porque perguntas assim pelo meu nome, visto que é maravilhoso?
19 Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and presented them on a rock to the Lord. As Manoah and his wife watched, the LORD did something amazing.
Então Manué tomou um cabrito e uma offerta de manjares, e os offereceu sobre uma penha ao Senhor: e obrou o anjo maravilhosamente, vendo-o Manué e sua mulher.
20 As the flame from the altar blazed up into the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Manoah and his wife saw what happened and fell with their faces to the ground.
E succedeu que, subindo a chamma do altar para o céu, o anjo do Senhor subiu na chamma do altar: o que vendo Manué e sua mulher, cairam em terra sobre seus rostos.
21 The angel of the Lord did not appear to Manoah or his wife again, and Manoah realized that he was the angel of the Lord.
E nunca mais appareceu o anjo do Senhor a Manué, nem a sua mulher: então conheceu Manué que era o anjo do Senhor.
22 “We're definitely going to die,” he told his wife, “for we have seen God!”
E disse Manué a sua mulher: Certamente morreremos, porquanto temos visto a Deus.
23 But his wife replied, “If the Lord had wanted to kill us he wouldn't have accepted our burnt offering and grain offering. He wouldn't have shown us all these things, and he wouldn't have come now and announced this to us.”
Porém sua mulher lhe disse: Se o Senhor nos quizera matar, não acceitaria da nossa mão o holocausto e a offerta de manjares, nem nos mostraria tudo isto, nem nos deixaria ouvir taes coisas n'este tempo.
24 She gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
Depois pariu esta mulher um filho, e chamou o seu nome Sansão: e o menino cresceu, e o Senhor o abençoou.
25 The Spirit of the Lord began to prompt him at Mahaneh Dan, a place between Zorah and Eshtaol.
E o espirito do Senhor o começou a impellir de quando em quando para o campo de Dan, entre Zora e Estaol.
