< Judges 13 >

1 And 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.
καὶ προσέθηκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιιμ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Σαραα ἀπὸ δήμου συγγενείας τοῦ Δανι καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μανωε καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἔτεκεν
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
καὶ ὤφθη ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν ἰδοὺ σὺ στεῖρα καὶ οὐ τέτοκας καὶ συλλήμψῃ υἱόν
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
καὶ νῦν φύλαξαι δὴ καὶ μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον
5 for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head: for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
ὅτι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ναζιρ θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ τῆς κοιλίας καὶ αὐτὸς ἄρξεται τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς Φυλιστιιμ
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς λέγουσα ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ ἦλθεν πρός με καὶ εἶδος αὐτοῦ ὡς εἶδος ἀγγέλου θεοῦ φοβερὸν σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἠρώτησα αὐτόν πόθεν ἐστίν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλέν μοι
7 but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death.
καὶ εἶπέν μοι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ νῦν μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον ὅτι ἅγιον θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ γαστρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, Oh Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do onto the child that shall be born.
καὶ προσηύξατο Μανωε πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἐμοί κύριε Αδωναιε τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ ὃν ἀπέστειλας ἐλθέτω δὴ ἔτι πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ συμβιβασάτω ἡμᾶς τί ποιήσωμεν τῷ παιδίῳ τῷ τικτομένῳ
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς Μανωε καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ ἔτι πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ αὕτη ἐκάθητο ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ Μανωε ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἦν μετ’ αὐτῆς
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
καὶ ἐτάχυνεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔδραμεν καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ ὦπται πρός με ὁ ἀνήρ ὃς ἦλθεν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πρός με
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Μανωε ὀπίσω τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἐγώ
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the manner of the child, and [what shall be] his work?
καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε νῦν ἐλεύσεται ὁ λόγος σου τίς ἔσται κρίσις τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν εἴρηκα πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα φυλάξεται
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.
ἀπὸ παντός ὃ ἐκπορεύεται ἐξ ἀμπέλου τοῦ οἴνου οὐ φάγεται καὶ οἶνον καὶ σικερα μέθυσμα μὴ πιέτω καὶ πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον μὴ φαγέτω πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῇ φυλάξεται
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.
καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου κατάσχωμεν ὧδέ σε καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐνώπιόν σου ἔριφον αἰγῶν
16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it onto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἐὰν κατάσχῃς με οὐ φάγομαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρτων σου καὶ ἐὰν ποιήσῃς ὁλοκαύτωμα τῷ κυρίῳ ἀνοίσεις αὐτό ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου αὐτός
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour?
καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου τί τὸ ὄνομά σοι ὅτι ἔλθοι τὸ ῥῆμά σου καὶ δοξάσομέν σε
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου εἰς τί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ αὐτό ἐστιν θαυμαστόν
19 So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the LORD: and [the angel] did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Μανωε τὸν ἔριφον τῶν αἰγῶν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ διεχώρισεν ποιῆσαι καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες
20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven 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.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι τὴν φλόγα ἐπάνω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐν τῇ φλογὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν
21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
καὶ οὐ προσέθηκεν ἔτι ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ὀφθῆναι πρὸς Μανωε καὶ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τότε ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου οὗτος
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ θανάτῳ ἀποθανούμεθα ὅτι θεὸν εἴδομεν
23 But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would at this time have told us such things as these.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰ ἤθελεν ὁ κύριος θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς οὐκ ἂν ἔλαβεν ἐκ χειρὸς ἡμῶν ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίαν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἔδειξεν ἡμῖν ταῦτα πάντα καὶ καθὼς καιρὸς οὐκ ἂν ἠκούτισεν ἡμᾶς ταῦτα
24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμψων καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸ κύριος
25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
καὶ ἤρξατο πνεῦμα κυρίου συνεκπορεύεσθαι αὐτῷ ἐν παρεμβολῇ Δαν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σαραα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Εσθαολ
