< Judges 13 >
1 And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH gives them into the hand of the Philistines [for] forty years.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham te Israel ca rhoek loh koep a koei uh. Te dongah amih te BOEIPA loh kum sawmli khuiah Philisti kut dongah a paek.
2 And there is a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danite, and his name [is] Manoah, his wife [is] barren, and has not borne;
Te vaengah Dan koca Zorah hlang pakhat te om tih a ming tah Manoah ni. Tedae a yuu te yaa tih ca cun pawh.
3 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to the woman and says to her, “Now behold, you [are] barren and have not borne; when you have conceived, then you have borne a son.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh a yuu taengah a phoe pah tih, “Na yaa tih ca na cun pawt cakhaw na vawn vetih capa na cun pawn ni he.
4 And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
Te dongah misurtui khaw, yu khaw na ok pawt ham neh rhalawt boeih tah na caak pawt ham te ngaithuen laeh.
5 for behold, you are conceiving and bearing a son, and a razor does not go up on his head, for the youth is a Nazarite to God from the womb, and he begins to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Na vawn vetih capa na cun vaengah thiha loh anih lu dongla pawk boel saeh ne. Bungko khui lamloh camoe te Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om vetih Philisti kut lamkah Israel khang ham khaw anih loh a tong ni,” a ti nah.
6 And the woman comes and speaks to her husband, saying, “A Man of God has come to me, and His appearance [is] as the appearance of the Messenger of God, very fearful, and I have not asked Him where He [is] from, and he has not declared His Name to me;
Te phoeiah huta cet tih a va taengah, “Pathen kah hlang loh kai taengah halo tih, a mueimae khaw Pathen puencawn kah a mueimae bangla a rhih om tloe. Anih te me lamkah ha pawk khaw ka dawt pawt tih a ming khaw kai taengah thui van pawh.
7 and He says to me, Behold, you are pregnant, and bearing a son, and now do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, for the youth is a Nazarite to God from the womb until the day of his death.”
Tedae kai taengah, 'Na vawn vetih capa na cun ni. Te dongah misur khaw, yu khaw, o boel lamtah a ti a hnai boeih te ca boeh, camoe te bungko khui lamloh a duek hnin duela Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
8 And Manoah makes plea to YHWH and says, “O my Lord, the Man of God whom You sent, please let Him come in again to us, and direct us what we do to the youth who is born.”
Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih, “Aw, Boeipa, Pathen hlang nan tueih te kaimih taengla koep ha pawk dae saeh. Te daengah ni ka cun ham camoe taengah ka saii te kaimih taengah n'thuinuet,” a ti nah.
9 And God listens to the voice of Manoah, and the Messenger of God comes again to the woman, and she [is] sitting in a field, and her husband Manoah is not with her,
Manoah ol te Pathen loh a yaak dongah Pathen kah puencawn loh Manoah yuu taengla koep a pawk pah. Te vaengah anih te lohma ah om dae a va Manoah te anih taengah om pawh.
10 and the woman hurries, and runs, and declares [it] to her husband, and says to him, “Behold, He has appeared to me—the Man who came on [that] day to me.”
Te dongah huta te koe yong tih a va taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah hlaemvai ah kai taengla aka pawk hlang te kai taengla tarha phoe,” a ti nah.
11 And Manoah rises, and goes after his wife, and comes to the Man, and says to Him, “Are you the Man who spoke to the woman?” And He says, “I [am].”
Manoah khaw thoo tih a yuu hnukah cet tih hlang te a paan tih kai yuu taengah aka cal hlang te nang a?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
12 And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
Te vaengah Manoah loh, “Na ol te pai pawn vetih camoe kah laitloeknah neh a bibi ta metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.
13 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
Te dongah Manoah te BOEIPA puencawn loh, “Na yuu taengah ka thui te mah boeih tuem saeh.
14 she does not eat of anything which comes out from the wine-vine, and she does not drink wine and strong drink, and she does not eat any unclean thing; she observes all that I have commanded her.”
Misur sulyam lamkah aka thoeng boeih te ca boel saeh, Misurtui khaw, yu khaw o boel saeh, a tihnai boeih tah ca boel saeh, anih ka uen vanbangla boeih tuem saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te Manoah loh, “Nang uelh mai dae lamtah nang ham maae ca ng'ngawn dae mako,” a ti nah.
16 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “If you detain Me—I do not eat of your bread; and if you prepare a burnt-offering—offer it to YHWH”; for Manoah has not known that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH.
Tedae Manoah te BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Kai nan hloh cakhaw na buh ka ca mahpawh, tedae BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah na hmoel coeng atah nawn mai,” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh ming pawh.
17 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA puencawn te, “Na olka bangla ha pawk vaengah nang kan thangpom uh ham akhaw na ming ulae?,” a ti nah.
18 And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Ka ming te bahamlae nan dawt, he tah mangvawt ni,” a ti nah.
19 And Manoah takes the kid of the goats, and the present, and offers on the rock to YHWH, and He is doing wonderfully, and Manoah and his wife are looking on,
Te daengah Manoah loh maae ca neh khocang te a loh tih BOEIPA ham lungpang dongah a tloeng. Tedae khobaerhambae la a saii ham khaw Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh rhoi.
20 and it comes to pass, in the going up of the flame from off the altar toward the heavens, that the Messenger of YHWH goes up in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife are looking on, and they fall on their faces to the earth,
Te vaengah hmaihluei te hmueihtuk lamloh vaan la luei tih hmueihtuk hmaihluei khuiah BOEIPA puencawn khaw luei hang. Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh vaengah a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop rhoi.
21 and the Messenger of YHWH has not added again to appear to Manoah, and to his wife, then Manoah has known that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH.
Te phoeiah Manoah taengah khaw Manoah yuu taengah khaw a phoe ham te BOEIPA puencawn loh khoep voel pawh. Te daengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh a ming.
22 And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
Te dongah Manoah loh a yuu taengah, “Pathen m'hmuh tih n'duek rhoe n'duek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
23 And his wife says to him, “If YHWH were desirous to put us to death, He had not received burnt-offering and present from our hands, nor showed us all these things, nor caused us to hear [anything] like this as [at this] time.”
Tedae anih te a yuu loh, “Mamih rhoi ngawn hamla BOEIPA loh ngaih koinih mamih kut lamkah hmueihhlutnah neh khocang te doe pawt vetih he rhoek boeih he mamih rhoi n'tueng mahpawh, a tue khaw tahae kah bangla mamih rhoi taengah n'yaak sak mahpawh,” a ti nah.
24 And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
Te dongah a yuu loh camoe a cun tih a ming te Samson a sak. Camoe a rhoeng hang vaengah anih te BOEIPA loh yoe a then sak.
25 and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Anih cahoeh ham te Zorah laklo neh Eshtaol laklo kah Mahanehdan ah BOEIPA Mueihla loh a tong.
