Judges 13
1 Bvt the children of Israel continued to commit wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord deliuerd them into the handes of the Philistims fourtie yeere.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，耶和华将他们交在非利士人手中四十年。
2 Then there was a man in Zorah of the familie of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was baren, and bare not.
那时，有一个琐拉人，是属但族的，名叫玛挪亚。他的妻不怀孕，不生育。
3 And the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto the woman, and said vnto her, Beholde nowe, thou art baren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne.
耶和华的使者向那妇人显现，对她说：“向来你不怀孕，不生育，如今你必怀孕生一个儿子。
4 And nowe therefore beware that thou drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing.
所以你当谨慎，清酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃。
5 For loe, thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, and no rasor shall come on his head: for the childe shall be a Nazarite vnto God from his birth: and he shall begin to saue Israel out of the handes of the Philistims.
你必怀孕生一个儿子，不可用剃头刀剃他的头，因为这孩子一出胎就归 神作拿细耳人。他必起首拯救以色列人脱离非利士人的手。”
6 Then the wife came, and tolde her husband, saying, A man of God came vnto me, and the facion of him was like the facion of the Angel of God exceeding feareful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name,
妇人就回去对丈夫说：“有一个神人到我面前来，他的相貌如 神使者的相貌，甚是可畏。我没有问他从哪里来，他也没有将他的名告诉我，
7 But he saide vnto me, Beholde, thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and nowe thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shalbe a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death.
却对我说：‘你要怀孕生一个儿子，所以清酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃；因为这孩子从出胎一直到死，必归 神作拿细耳人。’”
8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and saide, I pray thee, my Lord, Let the man of God, whome thou sentest, come againe nowe vnto vs, and teach vs what we shall doe vnto the child when he is borne.
玛挪亚就祈求耶和华说：“主啊，求你再差遣那神人到我们这里来，好指教我们怎样待这将要生的孩子。”
9 And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angel of God came againe vnto the wife, as she sate in the fielde, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
神应允玛挪亚的话；妇人正坐在田间的时候， 神的使者又到她那里，她丈夫玛挪亚却没有同她在一处。
10 And the wife made haste and ranne, and shewed her husband and sayde vnto him, Behold, the man hath appeared vnto me, that came vnto me to day.
妇人急忙跑去告诉丈夫说：“那日到我面前来的人，又向我显现。”
11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man, and saide vnto him, Art thou the man that spakest vnto the woman? and he said, Yea.
玛挪亚起来跟随他的妻来到那人面前，对他说：“与这妇人说话的就是你吗？”他说：“是我。”
12 Then Manoah sayde, Nowe let thy saying come to passe: but howe shall we order the childe and doe vnto him?
玛挪亚说：“愿你的话应验！我们当怎样待这孩子，他后来当怎样呢？”
13 And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said vnto her.
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说：“我告诉妇人的一切事，她都当谨慎。
14 She may eate of nothing that commeth of the vinetree: she shall not drinke wine nor strong drinke, nor eate any vncleane thing: let her obserue all that I haue commanded her.
葡萄树所结的都不可吃，清酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃。凡我所吩咐的，她都当遵守。”
15 Manoah then said vnto the Angell of the Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill we haue made readie a kid for thee.
玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说：“求你容我们款留你，好为你预备一只山羊羔。”
16 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord: for Manoah knewe not that it was an Angel of the Lord.
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说：“你虽然款留我，我却不吃你的食物，你若预备燔祭就当献与耶和华。”原来玛挪亚不知道他是耶和华的使者。
17 Againe Manoah said vnto the Angell of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to passe, we may honour thee?
玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说：“请将你的名告诉我，到你话应验的时候，我们好尊敬你。”
18 And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret?
耶和华的使者对他说：“你何必问我的名，我名是奇妙的。”
19 Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on.
玛挪亚将一只山羊羔和素祭在磐石上献与耶和华，使者行奇妙的事；玛挪亚和他的妻观看，
20 For when the flame came vp toward heauen from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife behelde it, and fell on their faces vnto the grounde.
见火焰从坛上往上升，耶和华的使者在坛上的火焰中也升上去了。玛挪亚和他的妻看见，就俯伏于地。
21 (So the Angel of the Lord did no more appeare vnto Manoah and his wife.) Then Manoah knewe that it was an Angel of the Lord.
耶和华的使者不再向玛挪亚和他的妻显现，玛挪亚才知道他是耶和华的使者。
22 And Manoah said vnto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we haue seene God.
玛挪亚对他的妻说：“我们必要死，因为看见了 神。”
23 But his wife saide vnto him, If the Lord woulde kill vs, he woulde not haue receiued a burnt offring, and a meate offring of our hands, neither would he haue shewed vs all these things, nor would now haue tolde vs any such.
他的妻却对他说：“耶和华若要杀我们，必不从我们手里收纳燔祭和素祭，并不将这一切事指示我们，今日也不将这些话告诉我们。”
24 And the wife bare a sonne, and called his name Samson: and the childe grewe, and the Lord blessed him.
后来妇人生了一个儿子，给他起名叫参孙。孩子长大，耶和华赐福与他。
25 And the Spirite of the Lord beganne to strengthen him in the host of Dan, betweene Zorah, and Eshtaol.
在玛哈尼·但，就是琐拉和以实陶中间，耶和华的灵才感动他。
