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.

Izraelovi otroci so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod jih je za štirideset let izročil v roko Filistejcev.

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;

Tam pa je bil nek mož iz Core, iz družine Danovcev, katerega ime je bilo Manóah. Njegova žena pa je bila jalova in ni rodila.

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.

Gospodov angel se je prikazal ženski in ji rekel: »Glej torej, jalova si in ne rojevaš, toda spočela boš in rodila sina.

4 And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,

Zdaj se torej pazi, prosim te in ne pij ne vina ne močne pijače in ne jej nobene nečiste stvari,

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.”

kajti glej, spočela boš in rodila sina in nobena britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu in on bo začel Izraela osvobajati iz roke Filistejcev.«

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;

Potem je ženska prišla in svojemu soprogu povedala, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel k meni in njegovo obličje je bilo podobno obličju Božjega angela, zelo strašno. Toda nisem ga vprašala, od kje je bil niti mi ni povedal svojega imena,

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.”

toda rekel mi je: ›Glej, spočela boš in rodila sina. Sedaj ne pij ne vina niti močne pijače, tudi ne jej nobene nečiste stvari, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu do dneva svoje smrti.‹«

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.”

Potem je Manóah rotil Gospoda in rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, naj Božji mož, ki si ga poslal, ponovno pride k nama in naju pouči, kaj bova storila otroku, ki bo rojen.«

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,

Bog je prisluhnil Manóahovemu glasu in Božji angel je ponovno prišel k ženski, medtem ko je sedela na polju, toda njen soprog Manóah ni bil z njo.

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.”

Ženska je pohitela, stekla in pokazala svojemu soprogu ter mu rekla: »Glej, mož se mi je prikazal, ki je prišel k meni oni dan.«

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].”

Manóah je vstal in odšel za svojo ženo in prišel k možu ter mu rekel: » Ali si ti mož, ki govoriš ženski?« Rekel je: »Jaz sem.«

12 And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”

Manóah je rekel: »Sedaj naj se tvoje besede zgodijo. Kako naj določiva otroku in kako mu bova storila?«

13 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;

Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Pred vsem, kar sem rekel ženski, naj se ona pazi.

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.”

Ne sme jesti nobene stvari, ki prihaja od vina, niti naj ne pije vina ali močne pijače, niti naj ne jé nobene nečiste stvari; vsega, kar sem ji zapovedal, naj se drži.«

15 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”

Manóah je rekel Gospodovemu angelu: »Prosim te, naj te zadrživa, dokler zate ne bova pripravila kozlička.«

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.

Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Čeprav me zadržiš, ne bom jedel od vajinega kruha. Če pa hočeš darovati žgalno daritev, jo moraš darovati Gospodu.« Kajti Manóah ni vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.

17 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”

Manóah je Gospodovemu angelu rekel: »Kakšno je tvoje ime, potem ko se izpolnijo tvoje besede, da ti lahko izkaževa čast?«

18 And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”

Gospodov angel mu je rekel: »Zakaj sprašuješ po mojem imenu, glede na to, da je to skrivnost?«

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,

Tako je Manóah vzel kozliča z jedilno daritvijo in ga na skali daroval Gospodu in angel je čudežno storil in Manóah in njegova žena sta to videla.

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,

Kajti pripetilo se je, ko se je plamen iz oltarja povzpel proti nebu, da se je Gospodov angel dvignil v oltarnem plamenu. Manóah in njegova žena sta pogledala na to in padla na svoja obraza k tlom.

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.

Toda Gospodov angel se ni več prikazal Manóahu in njegovi ženi. Potem je Manóah vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.

22 And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”

Manóah je svoji ženi rekel: »Midva bova zagotovo umrla, ker sva videla Boga.«

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.”

Toda njegova žena mu je rekla: »Če bi Gospodu ugajalo, da naju ubije, ne bi pri najinih rokah sprejel žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, niti nama ne bi pokazal vseh teh stvari, niti nama ob tem času ne bi povedal takšnih stvari, kot so te.«

24 And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,

Ženska je rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Samson. In otrok je rastel in Gospod ga je blagoslovil.

25 and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

In Gospodov Duh ga je občasno začel spodbujati v Danovem taboru, med Coro in Eštaólom.
