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.
A sinovi Izrailjevi opet èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Filistejima za èetrdeset godina.
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.
A bijaše jedan èovjek od Saraje od plemena sinova Danovijeh, po imenu Manoje, i žena mu bješe nerotkinja, i ne raðaše.
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.
Toj ženi javi se anðeo Gospodnji i reèe joj: gle, ti si sad nerotkinja, i nijesi raðala; ali æeš zatrudnjeti i rodiæeš sina.
4 So then please be careful not to drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean.
Nego sada èuvaj se da ne piješ vina ni silovita piæa, i da ne jedeš ništa neèisto.
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.”
Jer gle, zatrudnjeæeš, i rodiæeš sina, i britva da ne prijeðe po njegovoj glavi, jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine, i on æe poèeti izbavljati Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih.
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.
I žena doðe i reèe mužu svojemu govoreæi: èovjek Božji doðe k meni, i lice mu bijaše kao lice anðela Božijega, vrlo strašno; ali ga ne zapitah odakle je, niti mi on kaza svojega imena.
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.’”
Nego mi reèe: gle, ti æeš zatrudnjeti, i rodiæeš sina; zato sada ne pij vina ni silovita piæa i ne jedi ništa neèisto; jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine pa do smrti.
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.”
Tada se Manoje pomoli Gospodu i reèe: o Gospode! neka opet doðe k nama èovjek Božji, kojega si slao, da nas nauèi šta æemo èiniti s djetetom, kad se rodi.
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.
I usliši Gospod glas Manojev; i doðe opet anðeo Gospodnji k ženi kad sjeðaše u polju; a Manoje muž njezin ne bješe kod nje.
10 So she ran quickly to tell her husband, “Look! The man who appeared to me the other day has come back!”
Tada žena brže otrèa i javi mužu svojemu govoreæi mu: evo, javi mi se onaj èovjek, koji mi je prije dolazio.
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.
A Manoje ustavši poðe sa ženom svojom; i kad doðe k èovjeku, reèe mu: jesi li ti onaj èovjek što je govorio ovoj ženi? On odgovori: jesam.
12 So Manoah said, “May your promise come true! What shall be decided for the boy, and what is to be his vocation?”
A Manoje reèe: kad bude što si kazao, kako æe biti pravilo za dijete i šta æe èiniti s njim?
13 “Make sure your wife is careful to follow everything I told her,” the angel of the Lord replied.
A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Manoju: žena neka se èuva od svega što sam joj kazao.
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.”
Neka ne jede ništa što dolazi s vinove loze, i vina ni silovita piæa neka ne pije, i ništa neèisto neka ne jede. Što sam joj zapovjedio sve neka drži.
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.”
Tada reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: radi bismo te ustaviti da ti zgotovimo jare.
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.)
A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori Manoju: da me i ustaviš, neæu jesti tvojega jela; nego ako hoæeš zgotoviti žrtvu paljenicu, prinesi je Gospodu. Jer Manoje nije znao da je anðeo Gospodnji.
17 Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so when your promise comes true we may honor you?”
Opet reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: kako ti je ime? da ti zahvalimo kad se zbude što si rekao.
18 “Why do you ask this?” the angel of the Lord responded. “My name is beyond comprehension.”
A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori mu: što pitaš za ime moje? Èudno je.
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.
Tada Manoje uze jare i dar, i prinese Gospodu na stijeni; a anðeo uèini èudo pred Manojem i ženom njegovom;
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.
Jer kad se podiže plamen s oltara k nebu, anðeo Gospodnji podiže se u plamenu s oltara; a Manoje i žena njegova videæi to padoše nièice na zemlju;
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.
I anðeo se Gospodnji ne javi više Manoju ni ženi njegovoj. Tada Manoje razumje da je anðeo Gospodnji.
22 “We're definitely going to die,” he told his wife, “for we have seen God!”
I reèe Manoje ženi svojoj: zacijelo æemo umrijeti, jer vidjesmo Boga.
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.”
A žena mu reèe: kad bi htio Bog da nas ubije, ne bi primio iz naših ruku žrtve paljenice ni dara, niti bi nam pokazao svega ovoga, niti bi nam sad objavio takih stvari.
24 She gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
I tako ta žena rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samson; i dete odraste, i Gospod ga blagoslovi.
25 The Spirit of the Lord began to prompt him at Mahaneh Dan, a place between Zorah and Eshtaol.
I duh Gospodnji poèe hoditi s njim po okolu Danovu, izmeðu Saraje i Estaola.
