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.
Fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men a Filisten yo pandan karant ane.
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 gen yon sèten nonm nan Tsorea nan fanmi Danit yo, ki te rele Manoach. Madanm li te esteril e li pa t janm fè pitit.
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.
Konsa, zanj SENYÈ a te parèt a fanm nan e te di li: “Gade byen, koulye a, ou esteril e ou pa janm fè pitit, men ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis.
4 And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
Konsa, fè atansyon pou pa bwè diven, oswa okenn bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp.
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.”
Paske, gade byen, ou va vin ansent e bay nesans a yon fis. Nanpwen razwa k ap vini sou tèt li. Paske gason an va yon Nazareyen pou Bondye depi nan vant. Li va kòmanse delivre Israël soti nan men a Filisten yo.”
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;
Epi fanm nan te vin pale mari li. Li te di: “Yon nonm Bondye te vin kote m; aparans li te tankou aparans a yon zanj Bondye, byen mèvèye. Epi mwen pa t mande li kote li te sòti, ni li pa t di mwen non li.
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.”
Men li te di mwen: ‘Gade byen, ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis. Soti koulye a, ou p ap bwè diven ni bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp, paske gason an va yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant jis rive jou ke li mouri an.’”
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.”
Alò, Manoach te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O SENYÈ, souple kite nonm Bondye ke Ou te voye vin kote nou an ankò pou l kapab enstwi nou kisa pou nou fè pou gason k ap vin fèt la.”
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,
Bondye te koute vwa a Manoach, epi zanj Bondye a te vini ankò vè fanm nan pandan li te chita nan chan an. Men Manoach, mari li a, pa t avè l.
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.”
Konsa, fanm nan te kouri vit di mari li: “Gade byen, nonm ki te vini lòt jou a te parèt devan m.”
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].”
Konsa, Manoach te leve swiv fanm li an e lè li te vin kote nonm nan, li te di li: “Èske ou se nonm Bondye ki te pale avèk fanm mwen?” Epi li te di: “Mwen se li”.
12 And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
Manoach te di: “Alò, lè pawòl ou yo vin akonpli, kijan de vi ak vokasyon gason sila a va genyen?”
13 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
Konsa, nonm Bondye a te di a Manoach: “Kite fanm nan byen okipe tout sa ke m te di li yo.
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.”
Li pa dwe manje anyen ki sòti nan chan rezen, ni bwè diven, ni bwason fò, ni manje okenn bagay ki pa pwòp. Kite li swiv tout sa ke m te kòmande yo.”
15 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Souple, pèmèt nou fè ou fè yon ti reta pou nou kab prepare yon jenn kabrit pou ou.”
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.
Zanj SENYÈ a te di a Manoach: “Malgre ou fè m fè reta a, mwen p ap manje manje ou. Men si ou prepare yon ofrann brile, alò, ofri li bay SENYÈ a.” Paske Manoach pa t konnen ke li te yon zanj SENYÈ a.
17 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Kòman yo rele ou, dekwa ke lè pawòl ou yo vin rive pou nou kapab onore ou?”
18 And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
Men zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen, akoz nou wè li depase konnesans?”
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,
Konsa, Manoach te pran jenn kabrit la avèk ofrann sereyal la pou te ofri li sou wòch SENYÈ a. Epi Li menm, zanj SENYÈ a, te fè mèvèy pandan Manoach avèk madanm li t ap gade.
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,
Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè flanm nan te monte sou lotèl la vè syèl la, ke zanj SENYÈ a te monte nan flanm lotèl la. Lè Manoach avèk madanm li te wè sa, yo te tonbe atè sou figi yo.
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.
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a pa t vin parèt a Manoach ni madanm li ankò. Konsa, Manoach te vin konnen ke se te zanj SENYÈ a ke li te ye.
22 And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
Epi Manoach te di a madanm li: “Anverite, n ap mouri, paske nou te wè Bondye.”
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.”
Men madanm li te di li: “Si SENYÈ a te vle touye nou, Li pa t ap aksepte ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal la soti nan men nou, ni Li pa t ap montre nou tout bagay sila yo, ni Li pa t ap kite nou tande tout bagay sa yo konsa nan moman sa a.”
24 And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
Fanm nan te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Samson. Pitit la te vin gran e SENYÈ a te beni li.
25 and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Lespri SENYÈ a te kòmanse vire nan li nan kan Dan nan, antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol.
