Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yhwh; And Yhwh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu mabe na miso ya Yawe, mpe Yawe akabaki bango mibu tuku minei na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia.
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 bare not.
Ezalaki na mobali moko, moto ya Tsorea, ya libota ya Dani, kombo na ye ezalaki Manoa; mwasi na ye azalaki ekomba, mpe abotelaki ye bana te.
3 And the angel of Yhwh appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Anjelu na Yawe abimelaki mwasi ya Manoa mpe alobaki: « Tala, ozali ekomba mpe ozali na bana te, kasi okokoma na zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
Sik’oyo, sala keba! Komela vino te to masanga mosusu ya makasi, mpe kolia te eloko nyonso ya mbindo;
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
pamba te okozwa zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali. Bakoki te kokata suki ya moto na ye, pamba te mwana mobali yango akozala bule mpo na Nzambe wuta na libumu ya mama na ye. Akobanda kokangola Isalaele wuta na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. »
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 an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
Tango mwasi azongaki epai ya mobali na ye, ayebisaki ye: « Moto moko ya Nzambe ayaki epai na ngai, azalaki lokola Anjelu na Nzambe: azalaki somo mingi. Natunaki ye te soki awuti wapi, mpe ayebisaki ngai te kombo na ye.
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
Kasi alobaki na ngai: ‹ Okozwa zemi mpe okobota mwana mobali. Bongo komela vino to masanga mosusu ya makasi te mpe kolia eloko moko te ya mbindo, pamba te mwana mobali oyo okobota akozala bule mpo na Nzambe wuta na libumu ya mama na ye kino na mokolo na ye ya kufa. › »
8 Then Manoah intreated Yhwh, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
Bongo Manoa asambelaki Yawe: « Oh Nkolo, nabondeli Yo: tika ete ozongisa lisusu moto na Nzambe, oyo otindelaki biso, mpo ete aya lisusu koteya biso nini tosengeli kosala mpo na mwana mobali oyo akobotama! »
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.
Nzambe ayokaki Manoa, mpe Anjelu na Nzambe ayaki lisusu epai ya mwasi, wana avandaki na bilanga. Kasi mobali na ye, Manoa, azalaki elongo na ye te.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
Mwasi ya Manoa akendeki mbangu koyebisa mobali na ye: « Tala, namoni moto oyo abimelaki ngai na mikolo oyo eleki! »
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
Manoa atelemaki mpe alandaki mwasi na ye. Tango akomaki epai ya moto yango, alobaki: — Boni, ezali yo nde osololaki na mwasi na ngai? Azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali ngai.
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
Manoa atunaki ye: — Tango maloba na yo ekokokisama, mibeko nini tosengeli kotosa mpo na bomoi ya mwana? Mpe ye mwana asengeli kosala nini?
13 And the angel of Yhwh said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
Anjelu na Yawe azongiselaki Manoa: — Mwasi na yo asengeli kosala makambo nyonso oyo nayebisaki ye.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
Akolia eloko moko te oyo ewuti na nzete ya vino, akomela vino te to masanga mosusu ya makasi, akolia eloko moko te ya mbindo; asengeli kosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi ye.
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of Yhwh, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
Manoa alobaki na Anjelu na Yawe: — Soki okoki kozela mwa moke, wana tozali kobongisela yo mwana ntaba.
16 And the angel of Yhwh said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto Yhwh. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of Yhwh.
Anjelu na Nzambe azongiselaki Manoa: — Ata ozelisi ngai, nakolia ata eloko na yo moko te; kasi soki obongisi mbeka ya kotumba, bonzela yango nde Yawe. Manoa asosolaki te ete oyo azali liboso na ye azali Anjelu na Yawe.
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of Yhwh, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
Manoa atunaki Anjelu na Yawe: — Kombo na yo nani mpo ete topesa yo lokumu tango elaka na yo ekokokisama?
18 And the angel of Yhwh said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
Anjelu na Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna ngai kombo na ngai? Kombo na ngai ezali kombo ya kokamwa.
19 So Manoah took a kid with a grain offering, and offered it upon a rock unto Yhwh: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Boye Manoa azwaki mwana ntaba elongo na mbeka ya gato, abonzaki yango na likolo ya libanga, liboso ya Yawe. Wana Manoa mpe mwasi na ye bazalaki kotala, Yawe asalaki likambo moko ya kokamwa.
20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of Yhwh ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
Ndenge moto ezalaki komata na likolo longwa na etumbelo, Anjelu na Yawe mpe amataki kati na moto. Tango bamonaki bongo, Manoa mpe mwasi na ye bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
21 But the angel of Yhwh did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of Yhwh.
Tango Anjelu na Yawe alimwaki na miso ya Manoa mpe ya mwasi na ye, Manoa asosolaki ete ezalaki Anjelu ya Yawe.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Manoa alobaki na mwasi na ye: — Solo, tokufi na biso, pamba te tomoni Nzambe!
23 But his wife said unto him, If Yhwh were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a grain offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
Kasi mwasi na ye azongisaki: — Soki Yawe asepelaki koboma biso, akokaki kondima te mbeka ya kotumba mpe mbeka ya gato oyo esalemi na maboko na biso to kolakisa biso makambo oyo nyonso to mpe koyebisa biso sik’oyo makambo oyo.
24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, And Yhwh blessed him.
Mwasi ya Manoa abotaki mwana mobali mpe apesaki ye kombo « Samison. » Mwana akolaki, mpe Yawe apambolaki ye.
25 And the Spirit of Yhwh began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Molimo na Yawe abandaki kosalela ye tango azalaki na Maane Dani, na kati-kati ya Tsorea mpe Eshitaoli.
