Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.
Na ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa, a ka hoatu ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, e wha tekau tau.
2 And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not.
Na ko tetahi tangata o Toraha no te hapu o nga Rani, tona ingoa ko Manoa, he pakoko hoki tana wahine, kahore ano i whanau tamariki.
3 And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, you are barren and have not born; yet you shall conceive a son.
Na ka puta te anahera a Ihowa ki te wahine, ka mea ki a ia, Na, he pakoko koe, kahore hoki i whanau tamariki: otiia ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama.
4 And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;
Na kia tupato, kaua e inumia he waina, he wai whakahaurangi ranei; kaua ano e kainga tetahi mea poke.
5 for behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.
No te mea ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama; na kaua he heu e pa ki tona matenga: hei Natari hoki tena tamaiti ki te Atua no te kopu mai ano: a mana e timata te whakaora i a Iharaira i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
6 And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance [was as] of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.
Na haere ana te wahine, korero ana ki tana tahu, ka mea, Ko te tangata ra a te Atua i puta mai nei ki ahau, tona ahua kei te ahua o te anahera a te Atua; nui rawa te wehi; heoi kihai ahau i ui no hea ia, kihai ano i korerotia mai e ia tona ingoa ki ahau.
7 And he said to me, Behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.
Otiia i ki mai ia ki ahau, Ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama; na kaua koe e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua ano hoki e kainga tetahi mea poke; he Natari hoki tena tamaiti ki te Atua no te kopu mai ano a mate noa.
8 And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray you, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom you sent; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.
Na ka inoi a Manoa ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Tena ra, e toku Ariki, kia haere mai ano ki a maua te tangata a te Atua i tonoa mai na e koe, hei whakaatu i tetahi tikanga ki a maua mo te tamaiti ka whanau nei.
9 And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.
A i rongo te Atua ki te reo o Manoa, a ka haere mai ano te anahera a te Atua ki te wahine i a ia e noho ana i te parae; ko Manoa ia, ko tana tahu, kahore i a ia.
10 And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in [the other] day to me has appeared to me.
Na hohoro tonu te wahine, oma ana, korero ana ki tana tahu, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua puta ki ahau te tangata i haere mai ra ki ahau i tera ra.
11 And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].
Na ka whakatika a Manoa, a aru ana i tana wahine, a ka tae ki taua tangata, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te tangata i korero ra ki te wahine nei? Ka mea ia, Ae, ko ahau.
12 And Manoe said, Now shall [your] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?
Na ka mea a Manoa, Kia mana ra tau kupu. Tena koa nga tikanga mo te tamaiti, he aha he mahi mana?
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa, Kia tupato te wahine i nga mea katoa i korero ai ahau ki a ia.
14 She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.
Kaua ia e kai i tetahi mea i puta mai i te waina; kaua ano e inumia e ia he waina, he wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua ano hoki ia e kai i tetahi mea poke: kia mau ia ki nga mea katoa i kiia atu e ahau ki a ia.
15 And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain you here, and prepare before you a kid of the goats.
Na, ka mea a Manoa ki te anahera a Ihowa, Me pupuri maua i a koe, kia taka ai e maua he kuao koati mau.
16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If you should detain me, I will not eat of your bread; and if you would offer a whole burnt offering, to the Lord you shall offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa, Ahakoa pupuri noa koe i ahau, e kore ahau e kai i tau taro: a ki te meatia e koe he tahunga tinana, me whakaeke ma Ihowa. Kihai hoki a Manoa i mohio he anahera ia na Ihowa.
17 And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] your name, that [when] your word shall come to pass, we may glorify you?
Na ka mea a Manoa ki te anahera a Ihowa, Ko wai tou ingoa, kia whakahonore ai maua i a koe, ina mana au korero?
18 And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, He aha toku ingoa i uia ai e koe; he mea whakamiharo nei hoki?
19 And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and [the angel] wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.
Heoi ka tikina e Manoa tetahi kuao koati, me tetahi whakahere totokore, a whakaekea ana e ia ki runga ki te kamaka ki a Ihowa: na he mea whakamiharo te mahi a taua anahera, me te titiro ano a Manoa raua ko tana wahine.
20 And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.
I te putanga ake hoki o te mura i runga i te aata whaka te rangi, na kua kake atu te anahera a Ihowa i roto i te mura o te aata. A, i te kitenga o Manoa raua ko tana wahine, tapapa ana raua ki te whenua.
21 And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.
Kihai ia i puta mai ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa raua ko tana wahine. Katahi a Manoa ka mohio he anahera ia na Ihowa.
22 And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Na ka mea a Manoa ki tana wahine, Ka mate rawa taua; kua kite hoki taua i te Atua.
23 But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received of our hand a whole burnt offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shown us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things
Ano ra ko tana wahine ki a ia, Me i pai a Ihowa ki te whakamate i a taua, kihai i tangohia e ia te tahunga tinana me te whakahere totokore i o taua ringa, kihai ano hoki i whakakitea mai e ia enei mea katoa ki a taua, kihai hoki i korerotia mai inaianei ki a taua nga mea penei i enei.
24 And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Na ka whanau taua wahine, he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hamahona: na ka tupu taua tamaiti, a ka manaakitia e Ihowa.
25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
Na ka timata te wairua o Ihowa te whakaohooho i a ia i te puni o Rana, i te takiwa o Toraha, o Ehetaoro.
