< Judges 13 >
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines 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 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.
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 The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear 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 Now therefore please be careful and drink no wine nor 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 look, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor will come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. And he shall begin 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 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name,
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 but he said to me, 'Look, you shall conceive, and bear a son. And now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite 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 Then Manoah pleaded with the LORD, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be 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 God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah, her husband, wasn't 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 The woman ran quickly, and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the man who came to me the other day has appeared 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 Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He said, "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 Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"
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 The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.
Te dongah Manoah te BOEIPA puencawn loh, “Na yuu taengah ka thui te mah boeih tuem saeh.
14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. All that I have commanded her she is to observe."
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 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for 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 The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.
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 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor 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 angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? It is incomprehensible."
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Ka ming te bahamlae nan dawt, he tah mangvawt ni,” a ti nah.
19 So Manoah took the young goat and a grain offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD, the LORD who works wonders. And Manoah and his wife looked 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 For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.
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 But the angel of the LORD did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
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 Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because 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 But his wife said to him, "If the LORD meant to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from us, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would he have spoken to us now like this."
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 The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed 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 the LORD began to direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Anih cahoeh ham te Zorah laklo neh Eshtaol laklo kah Mahanehdan ah BOEIPA Mueihla loh a tong.
