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.
At ang mga anak ni Israel ay gumawa uli ng kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon; at ibinigay ng Panginoon sila na apat na pung taon sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
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.
At may isang lalake sa Sora sa angkan ng mga Danita, na ang pangala'y Manoa; at ang kaniyang asawa ay baog, at hindi nagkaanak.
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.
At napakita ang anghel ng Panginoon sa babae, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, ikaw ay baog at hindi ka nagkakaanak: nguni't ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang lalake.
4 So then please be careful not to drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean.
Ngayon nga'y magingat ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at huwag kang uminom ng alak o ng inuming nakalalasing, at huwag kang kumain ng anomang maruming bagay:
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.”
Sapagka't, narito, ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang lalake; at walang pangahit na daraan sa kaniyang ulo: sapagka't ang bata ay magiging Nazareo sa Dios, mula sa tiyan: at kaniyang pasisimulang iligtas ang Israel sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y ang babae'y yumaon at isinaysay sa kaniyang asawa, na sinasabi, Isang lalake ng Dios ay naparito sa akin, at ang kaniyang anyo ay gaya ng anyo ng anghel ng Dios, na kakilakilabot: at hindi ko natanong siya kung siya'y taga saan, ni kaya'y sinaysay niya sa akin ang kaniyang pangalan:
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.’”
Nguni't sinabi niya sa akin, Narito, ikaw ay maglilihi, at manganganak ng isang lalake; at ngayo'y huwag kang uminom ng alak o ng inuming nakalalasing man, at huwag kang kumain ng anomang maruming bagay: sapagka't ang bata'y magiging Nazareo sa Dios mula sa tiyan hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan.
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y nanalangin si Manoa sa Panginoon, at sinabi niya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, Oh Panginoon, na pabalikin mo uli ang lalake ng Dios na iyong sinugo sa amin, at ituro sa amin kung ano ang aming gagawin sa bata na ipanganganak.
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.
At dininig ng Dios ang tinig ni Manoa; at nagbalik ang anghel ng Dios sa babae habang siya'y nakaupo sa bukid: nguni't si Manoa na kaniyang asawa ay hindi niya kasama.
10 So she ran quickly to tell her husband, “Look! The man who appeared to me the other day has come back!”
At nagmadali ang babae, at tumakbo, at isinaysay sa kaniyang asawa, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, ang lalake ay napakita sa akin, yaong naparito sa akin ng ibang araw.
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.
At bumangon si Manoa, at sumunod sa kaniyang asawa, at naparoon sa lalake, at sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw ba ang lalake na nagsalita sa babaing ito? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako nga.
12 So Manoah said, “May your promise come true! What shall be decided for the boy, and what is to be his vocation?”
At sinabi ni Manoa, Mano nawa'y mangyari ang iyong mga salita: ano ang ipagpapagawa sa bata, at paanong aming gagawin sa kaniya?
13 “Make sure your wife is careful to follow everything I told her,” the angel of the Lord replied.
At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa, Sa lahat ng aking sinabi sa babae ay magingat siya.
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.”
Siya'y hindi makakakain ng anomang bagay na nanggagaling sa ubasan, ni uminom man lamang ng alak ni ng inuming nakalalasing, ni kumain man ng anomang maruming bagay; lahat ng iniutos ko sa kaniya ay sundin niya.
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.”
At sinabi ni Manoa sa anghel ng Panginoon, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na ikaw ay aming mapigil, upang maipagluto ka namin ng isang anak ng kambing.
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.)
At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa, Bagaman ako'y iyong pigilin, hindi ako kakain ng iyong pagkain: at kung ikaw ay maghahanda ng handog na susunugin, ay iyong nararapat ihandog sa Panginoon. Sapagka't hindi naalaman ni Manoa na siya'y anghel ng Panginoon.
17 Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so when your promise comes true we may honor you?”
At sinabi ni Manoa sa anghel ng Panginoon, Ano ang iyong pangalan, upang pangyayari ng iyong mga salita ay mabigyan ka namin ng karangalan?
18 “Why do you ask this?” the angel of the Lord responded. “My name is beyond comprehension.”
At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Bakit mo itinatanong ang aking pangalan, dangang kagilagilalas?
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.
Sa gayo'y kumuha si Manoa ng isang anak ng kambing pati ng handog na harina, at inihandog sa Panginoon sa ibabaw ng bato: at gumawa ng kamanghamangha ang anghel, at minasdan ni Manoa at ng kaniyang asawa.
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.
Sapagka't nangyari, nang umilanglang sa langit ang alab mula sa dambana, na ang anghel ng Panginoon ay napailanglang sa alab ng dambana: at minasdan ni Manoa at ng kaniyang asawa; at sila'y nangapasubasob sa lupa.
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.
Nguni't hindi na napakita ang anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa o sa kaniyang asawa. Nang magkagayo'y naalaman ni Manoa na siya'y anghel ng Panginoon.
22 “We're definitely going to die,” he told his wife, “for we have seen God!”
At sinabi ni Manoa sa kaniyang asawa, Walang pagsalang tayo'y mamamatay, sapagka't ating nakita ang Dios.
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.”
Nguni't sinabi ng asawa niya sa kaniya, Kung nalulugod ang Panginoon na patayin tayo, hindi sana niya tinanggap ang handog na sinunog at ang handog na harina sa ating kamay, ni ipinakita man sa atin ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ni nasaysay man sa panahong ito, ang mga bagay na gaya nito.
24 She gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
At nanganak ang babae ng isang lalake, at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalan na Samson. At ang bata'y lumaki, at pinagpala ng Panginoon.
25 The Spirit of the Lord began to prompt him at Mahaneh Dan, a place between Zorah and Eshtaol.
At pinasimulang kinilos siya ng Espiritu ng Panginoon sa Mahanedan, sa pagitan ng Sora at Esthaol.
