Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray, ka dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànan’ ny Filistina efa-polo taona izy.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bore not.
Ary nisy lehilahy avy tany Zora amin’ ny fokon’ ny Danita, Manoa no anarany; ary momba ny vadiny ka tsy niteraka.
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her: 'Behold now, thou art barren, and hast not borne; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niseho tamin-dravehivavy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, momba ianao ka tsy niteraka; nefa hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Koa mitandrema ianao ankehitriny, ka aza misotro divay na toaka, ary aza mihinana akory izay zava-padina.
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.'
Fa, indro, hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy; ary tsy mba hokasihin-kareza ny lohany; fa ho Nazirita ho an’ Andriamanitra hatrany an-kibo ny zaza; ary izy no hanomboka hamonjy ny Isiraely amin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying: 'A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name;
Dia nandeha ravehivavy ka nilaza tamin’ ny vadiny hoe: Nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tamiko, ary nahatahotra indrindra ny fijery azy, tahaka ny fijery Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra, ka tsy nanontany Azy izay nihaviany aho, ary tsy nambarany ahy ny anarany.
7 but he said unto me: Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death.'
Fa hoy Izy tamiko: Indro, hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy; koa ankehitriny aza misotro divay na toaka ianao, ary aza mihinana akory izay zava-padina; fa ho Nazirita ho an’ Andriamanitra ny zaza hatrany an-kibo ka ambara-pahafatiny
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said: 'Oh, LORD, I pray Thee, let the man of God whom Thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.'
Ary Manoa nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ry Tompo ô, aoka hankatỳ aminay indray ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ilay efa nirahinao, ka hampianatra anay ny hitondranay ny zaza izay ho teraka.
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Ary Andriamanitra nihaino ny feon’ i Manoa, ka dia nankany amin-dravehivavy indray Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra, raha tany an-tsaha izy; fa Manoa vadiny tsy teo aminy.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him: 'Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me that day.'
Dia nihazakazaka faingana ravehivavy ka nanambara tamin’ ny vadiny hoe: Indro, niseho tamiko indray ny lehilahy izay tonga tamiko tamin’ ilay indray andro.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him: 'Art thou the man that spokest unto the woman?' And he said: 'I am.'
Dia nitsangana Manoa ka nandeha nanaraka ny vadiny, dia nankany amin-dralehilahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao moa ilay lehilahy niteny tamin-dravehivavy? Dia hoy Izy: Eny, Izaho no Izy.
12 And Manoah said: 'Now when thy word cometh to pass, what shall be the rule for the child, and what shall be done with him?'
Dia hoy Manoa: Raha tanteraka ilay teninao, ahoana ange no hitondranay ny zaza, ary inona no ho asany?
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Manoa: Izay rehetra efa nolazaiko tamin-dravehivavy dia aoka hotandremany avokoa.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the grapevine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.'
Izay rehetra avy amin’ ny voaloboka dia aza avela hohaniny, ary aza avela hisotro divay na toaka izy, na hihinana akory izay zava-padina; izay rehetra nandidiako azy dia aoka hotandremany avokoa.
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.'
Ary hoy Manoa tamin’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah: Aoka mba hotananay Hianao mandra-pamboatray zanak’ osy ho Anao.
16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD.' For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD.
Dia hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Manoa: Na dia tananao aza Aho, tsy mba hihinana amin’ ny haninao Aho tsy akory; fa raha hanatitra fanatitra dorana ianao, dia aoka Jehovah no hanateranao izany. Fa tsy fantatr’ i Manoa ho Anjelin’ i Jehovah Izy.
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour?'
Dia hoy Manoa tamin’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah: Iza moa no anaranao, mba hanomezanay voninahitra Anao, rehefa tanteraka ny teninao?
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is hidden?'
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Nahoana no manontany ny anarako ianao? Fa anarana mahagaga izany.
19 So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the LORD; and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Dia naka ny zanak’ osy sy ny fanatitra hohanina Manoa ka nanatitra ireny teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy ho an’ i Jehovah; ary Ilay Anjely kosa nanao zava-mahagaga, raha mbola nijery teo Manoa mivady.
20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
Ary raha niakatra ho amin’ ny lanitra ny lelafo avy teo amin’ ny alitara, dia niakatra teo anatin’ ny lelafo avy teo amin’ ny alitara Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah. Ary nijery izany Manoa mivady, ka dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
Ary tsy niseho tamin’ i Manoa sy ny vadiny intsony Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah; dia fantatr’ i Manoa fa Anjelin’ i Jehovah Izy.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife: 'We shall surely die, because we have seen God.'
Ary hoy Manoa tamin’ ny vadiny: Ho faty tokoa isika, satria efa nahita an’ Andriamanitra.
23 But his wife said unto him: 'If the LORD were pleased to kill us, He would not have received a burnt-offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would He have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.'
Fa hoy ny vadiny taminy: Raha sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hahafaty antsika, dia tsy ho nety nandray fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina tamin’ ny tanantsika akory Izy, ary tsy ho nampahita antsika izany zavatra rehetra izany, ary tsy ho nampandre antsika izany zavatra izany ankehitriny.
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Ary niteraka zazalahy ravehivavy, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Samsona; dia nitombo ny zaza, ary Jehovah nitahy azy.
25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Dia niantomboka nanindry azy indraindray ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tany Mahane-dana, teo anelanelan’ i Zora sy Estaola.
