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.
Pea naʻe toe fakalahi ʻae fai kovi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
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;
Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Sola, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani ko Manoa hono hingoa; pea naʻe paʻa ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo ʻikai fānau.
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.
Pea naʻe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ki he fefine, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ke paʻa, ʻoku ʻikai te ke fānau: ka te ke feitama, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama.
4 And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke vakai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kai ha meʻa taʻemaʻa:
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.”
Vakai, te ke feitama koe, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama pea ʻoua naʻa ʻai ha tele ki hono ʻulu koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e taha fakamavahe ia ki he ʻOtua mei he manāva: pea ʻe kamata ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia.”
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;
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae fefine ʻo tala ki hono husepāniti, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻae ʻOtua kiate au, pea naʻe tatau hono mata mo e mata ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fakamanavahē: ka naʻe ʻikai te u fehuʻi pe ne haʻu mei fē ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tala mai hono hingoa:
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.”
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, Vakai, te ke feitama, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama; pea ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kai ha meʻa taʻemaʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe fakamavahe ʻae tama ki he ʻOtua mei he manāva ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.”
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.”
Pea naʻe toki kole fakamātoato ʻe Manoa kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ke ke tuku ke toe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ke fekau kiate kimaua, pea ako kiate kimaua ʻaia te ma fai ki he tamasiʻi ʻaia ʻe fanauʻi.”
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,
Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻo Manoa; pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ki he fefine ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he ngoue: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻa Manoa.
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.”
Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he fefine pea lele ʻo fakahā ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakahā kiate au ʻae tangata, ʻaia naʻe haʻu kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha.”
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].”
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Manoa, pea ʻalu mo hono uaifi, ʻo na hoko atu ki he tangata, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ʻae tangata naʻe lea ki he fefine?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au.”
12 And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa, “Ko eni ke fakatonutonu hoʻo ngaahi lea. ʻE fēfē ʻema ngaohi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ko e hā te ma fai kiate ia?”
13 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa, “Ke tokanga ʻae fefine ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku tala kiate ia.
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.”
Ke ʻoua naʻa kai ʻe ia ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku tupu ʻi he vaine, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ke inu uaine, pe ha inu mālohi, pe kai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku taʻemaʻa: ke tokanga ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate ia.”
15 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ma taʻofi koe, kaeʻoua ke ma teu maʻau ha ʻuhikiʻi manu.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa, “Neongo ʻa hoʻo taʻofi au, ka ʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻi hoʻo mā: pea kapau ʻoku ke fie ʻatu ha feilaulau tutu, ʻoku totonu ke ke ʻatu ia kia Sihova.” He naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Manoa ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova.
17 And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, “Ko hai ho hingoa, koeʻuhi ʻoka hoko hono fakamoʻoni ʻo hoʻo ngaahi lea ke mau fakaongolelei koe?”
18 And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fehuʻi ai ki hoku hingoa, kae ʻosi ʻoku fufū ia?”
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,
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Manoa ʻae ʻuhikiʻi manu mo e feilaulau meʻakai, pea ne ʻatu ia kia Sihova ʻi he funga maka pea naʻe fai meʻa fakaofo ʻe he ʻāngelo pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Manoa mo hono uaifi.
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,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae ulo afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga, naʻe hāʻele hake ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ulo afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Manoa mo hono uaifi, pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata ki he kelekele.
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai toe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa pē ki hono uaifi. Pea naʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe Manoa ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova.
22 And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki hono uaifi, “Ko e moʻoni te ta mate, koeʻuhi kuo ta mamata ki he ʻOtua.”
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.”
Ka naʻe lea hono uaifi kiate ia, “Ka ne finangalo ʻa Sihova ke tāmateʻi ʻakitaua, pehē ne ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻi hota nima, pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kitaua, pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ne fai ha ngaahi tala pehē kiate kitaua ʻi he kuonga pehē.”
24 And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
Pea naʻe fānau ʻe he fefine ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Samisoni: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tama, pea tāpuakiʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
25 and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Pea naʻe kamata ueʻi ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ʻi he kuonga niʻihi ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻo Tani ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sola mo Esitaoli.
