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.
Les enfants d'Israël firent encore ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahweh, et Yahweh les livra entre les mains des Philistins, pendant quarante ans.
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;
Il y avait un homme de Saraa, de la famille des Danites, nommé Manué; sa femme était stérile, et n'avait pas enfanté.
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.
L'Ange de Yahweh apparut à la femme et lui dit: " Voici donc, tu es stérile et sans enfant; mais tu concevras et enfanteras un fils.
4 And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
Et maintenant, prends bien garde, ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte et ne mange rien d'impur,
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.”
car tu vas concevoir et enfanter un fils. Le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête, car cet enfant sera nazaréen de Dieu, dès le sein de sa mère, et c'est lui qui commencera à délivrer Israël de la main des Philistins. "
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;
La femme alla dire à son mari: " Un homme de Dieu est venu vers moi; il avait l'aspect d'un ange de Dieu, un aspect redoutable. Je ne lui ai pas demandé d'où il était, et il ne m'a pas fait connaître son nom;
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.”
mais il m'a dit: " Tu vas concevoir et enfanter un fils; et maintenant, ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte, et ne mange rien d'impur, parce que cet enfant sera nazaréen de Dieu dès le sein de sa mère, jusqu'au jour de sa mort. "
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.”
Alors Manué invoqua Yahweh et dit: " Je vous prie, Seigneur, que l'homme de Dieu que vous avez envoyé vienne encore vers nous, et qu'il nous enseigne ce que nous devons faire pour l'enfant qui naîtra! "
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,
Dieu exauça la prière de Manué, et l'Ange de Dieu vint encore vers la femme; elle était assise dans un champ, et Manué, son mari, n'était pas avec elle.
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.”
La femme courut aussitôt informer son mari et lui dit: " Voici, l'homme qui est venu l'autre jour vers moi m'est apparu. "
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].”
Manué se leva et, suivant sa femme, il alla vers l'homme et lui dit: " Est-ce toi qui as parlé à cette femme? " Il répondit: " C'est moi. "
12 And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
Manué dit: " Maintenant, quand ta parole s'accomplira, que faudra-t-il observer à l'égard de cet enfant, et qu'y aura-t-il à faire pour lui? "
13 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
L'Ange de Yahweh répondit à Manué: " La femme s'abstiendra de tout ce que je lui ai dit:
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.”
elle ne mangera rien de ce qui provient de la vigne, elle ne boira ni vin ni liqueur forte, et elle ne mangera rien d'impur: tout ce que je lui ai prescrit, elle l'observera. "
15 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
Manué dit à l'Ange de Yahweh: " Permets que nous te retenions et que nous t'apprêtions un chevreau. "
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.
L'Ange de Yahweh répondit à Manué: " Quand tu me retiendrais, je ne mangerais pas de ton mets; mais si tu veux préparer un holocauste, à Yahweh, offre-le. " — Manué ne savait pas que c'était l'Ange de Yahweh —
17 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
Et Manué dit à l'Ange de Yahweh: " Quel est ton nom, afin que nous t'honorions, quand ta parole s'accomplira? "
18 And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
L'Ange de Yahweh lui répondit: " Pourquoi m'interroges-tu sur mon nom? Il est Merveilleux. "
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,
Manué prit le chevreau avec l'oblation et l'offrit à Yahweh sur le rocher, et Yahweh fit un prodige pendant que Manué et sa femme regardaient.
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,
Comme la flamme montait de dessus l'autel vers le ciel, l'Ange de Yahweh monta dans la flamme de l'autel. A cette vue, Manué et sa femme tombèrent la face contre terre.
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.
Et l'Ange de Yahweh n'apparut plus à Manué et à sa femme. Alors Manué comprit que c'était l'Ange de Yahweh.
22 And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
Et Manué dit à sa femme: " Nous allons mourir, car nous avons vu Dieu. "
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.”
Sa femme lui répondit: " Si Yahweh voulait nous faire mourir, il n'aurait pas reçu de nos mains l'holocauste et l'oblation, il ne nous aurait pas fait voir tout cela, il ne nous aurait pas fait entendre aujourd'hui de pareilles choses. "
24 And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
La femme enfanta un fils et lui donna le nom de Samson. L'enfant grandit et Yahweh le bénit;
25 and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
l'esprit de Yahweh commença à le pousser à Machanêh-Dan, entre Saraa et Esthaol.
