Judges 13
1 And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —so Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of the Philistines, forty years.
O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo Jehova akĩmaneana moko-inĩ ma Afilisti handũ ha mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, and, his name, was Manoah; and, his wife, was barren, and had borne no child.
Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ wa Zora, wetagwo Manoa kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Adani, aarĩ na mũtumia warĩ thaata watũũrĩte atarĩ na mwana.
3 And the messenger of Yahweh appeared unto the woman, —and said unto her—Lo! I pray thee, thou, art barren, and hast borne no child, but thou shalt conceive, and shalt bear a son.
Mũraika wa Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ thaata na ndũrĩ mwana, no nĩũkũgĩa nda ũciare kahĩĩ.
4 Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and do not drink wine or strong drink, —nor eat anything unclean;
Na rĩrĩ, wĩmenyerere ndũkananyue ndibei kana kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩgagatu, na ndũkanarĩe kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ thaahu,
5 for lo! thou, art about to conceive and bear a son, and no, razor, shall come on his head, for, one separate unto God, shall the boy be from his birth, —and, he, shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
tondũ wee nĩũkũgĩa nda na ũciare kahĩĩ. Gũtirĩ kanyũi gakaahũthĩrwo mũtwe-inĩ wake, nĩ ũndũ kahĩĩ kau gagaatuĩka Mũnaziri wamũrĩirwo Ngai kuuma gũciarwo, na nĩakambĩrĩria kũhonokia Isiraeli kuuma moko-inĩ ma Afilisti.”
6 So the woman came in, and told her husband, saying, A man of God, came unto me, and, his, appearance, was as the appearance of the messenger of God, reverend exceedingly, —and I asked him not whence he was, and, his name, he told me not.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia ũcio agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthuuriwe, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wa Ngai nĩokire kũrĩ niĩ. Ekuonekaga ahaana ta mũraika wa Ngai wa gwĩtigĩrwo mũno. Ndinamũũria kũrĩa oimĩte, nake ndananjĩĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake.
7 But he said unto me, Lo! thou art about to conceive, and bear a son, —now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean, for, one separate unto God, shall the boy be, from his birth until the day of his death.
No nĩanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩũkũgĩa nda na ũciare kahĩĩ. Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, ndũkanyue ndibei kana kĩndũ kĩgagatu, o na ndũkarĩe kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ thaahu, tondũ kahĩĩ kau gagaakorwo karĩ Mũnaziri wa Ngai kuuma gũciarwo nginya mũthenya wako wa gũkua.’”
8 Then Manoah made entreaty unto Yahweh, and said: Pardon, O My Lord! the man of God whom thou didst send, I pray thee, let him come again unto us, that he may teach us what we are to do, unto the boy that is to be born.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Manoa akĩhooya Jehova: “Mwathani nĩndagũthaitha, reke mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai ũgũtũmĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ oke rĩngĩ nĩguo atũrute ũrĩa tũkũrera kahĩĩ karĩa gagaaciarwo.”
9 And God hearkened unto the voice of Manoah, —and the messenger of God came again unto the woman, as, she, was sitting in the field, Manoah her husband, not being with her.
Ngai akĩigua Manoa, na mũraika wa Ngai agĩũka rĩngĩ kũrĩ mũtumia rĩrĩa aarĩ mũgũnda-inĩ; no mũthuuriwe Manoa ndaarĩ hamwe nake.
10 So the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, —and said unto him, Lo! the man, hath appeared unto me, who came the other day unto me.
Nake mũtumia akĩhiũha gũthiĩ kwĩra mũthuuriwe, “Mũndũ ũrĩa wanyumĩrĩire mũthenya ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ, arĩ haha!”
11 Then Manoah arose, and followed his wife, —and came unto the man, and said unto him—Art, thou, the man that spake unto the wife? And he said—I am.
Manoa agĩũkĩra, akĩrũmĩrĩra mũtumia wake. Rĩrĩa aakinyire harĩ mũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe waririe na mũtumia wakwa?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩ niĩ.”
12 And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass, —What shall be the rule for the boy, and his work?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Manoa akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ciugo ciaku ikaahinga-rĩ, watho wa mũtũũrĩre wa kahĩĩ gaka na wĩra wako ũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũrĩkũ?”
13 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah, —Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware.
Mũraika wa Jehova agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia waku no nginya eeke ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwĩrĩte.
14 Of nothing that cometh of the vine, may she eat, nor wine nor strong drink, let her drink, nor, anything unclean, let her eat, —all that I commanded her, let her observe.
Ndakarĩe kĩndũ o gĩothe kiumĩte mũthabibũ-inĩ, kana anyue ndibei o yothe, kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ gĩa kũnyua kĩgagatu kana arĩe kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ thaahu. No nginya eeke maũndũ mothe marĩa niĩ ndĩmwathĩte.”
15 And Manoah said unto the messenger of Yahweh, —I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready for thy presence, a kid.
Manoa akĩĩra mũraika wa Jehova atĩrĩ, “No twende ũikare nginya tũgũthĩnjĩre koori.”
16 But the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah—Though thou detain me, yet will I not eat of thy food, and, though thou make ready an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh, must thou cause it to ascend. For Manoah had not discerned that, the angel of Yahweh, he was.
Mũraika wa Jehova agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “O na wangiria thiĩ, ndikũrĩa irio ciaku. No wahaarĩria igongona rĩa njino-rĩ, rĩu rĩrutĩre Jehova.” (Manoa ndaigana gũkũũrana atĩ ũcio aarĩ mũraika wa Jehova.)
17 Then said Manoah unto the messenger of Yahweh, What is thy name, —that, when thy word cometh to pass, we may do thee honour?
Nake Manoa agĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ mũraika wa Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee wĩtagwo atĩa, nĩguo tũgaagũtĩĩa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kiugo gĩaku gĩgaatuĩka kĩa ma?”
18 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore is it, that thou shouldst ask after my name, —seeing that, it, is Wonderful?
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũnjũũrie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa? Ndũngĩhota kũrĩmenya, nĩ rĩa magegania.”
19 So Manoah took the kid, and the meal-offering, and caused them to ascend upon the rock unto Yahweh, who was about to do, wondrously, while Manoah and his wife were looking on.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Manoa akĩoya koori hamwe na mũtu wa igongona, agĩcirutĩra Jehova igũrũ rĩa ihiga. Nake Jehova agĩĩka ũndũ wa magegania o Manoa na mũtumia wake meroreire:
20 And it came to pass, when the flame ascended from off the altar, towards the heavens, that the messenger of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar, —while Manoah and his wife were looking on. Then fell they on their faces, to the earth.
O rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkĩrĩrĩmbũkaga kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ rũrorete igũrũ-rĩ, mũraika wa Jehova akĩambatĩra rũrĩrĩmbĩ-inĩ rũu. Nake Manoa na mũtumia wake mona ũguo, makĩĩgũithia magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ.
21 And the messenger of Yahweh did no more appear unto Manoah or unto his wife. Then, Manoah knew that, the messenger of Yahweh, he was.
Rĩrĩa mũraika ũcio wa Jehova aagire gũcooka kwĩyonithania kũrĩ Manoa na mũtumia wake, Manoa akĩmenya atĩ ũcio aarĩ mũraika wa Jehova.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall, die, —for, upon God, have we looked.
Akĩĩra mũtumia wake atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ rĩu no tũgũkua, tondũ nĩtuonete Ngai!”
23 But his wife said unto him, If Yahweh had been pleased to put us to death, he would not have received at our hand, an ascending-sacrifice and a meal-offering, nor would he have shewed us all these things, —and, at such a time, have let us hear the like of this!
No mũtumia wake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Korwo Jehova nĩegũtuĩte gũtũũraga-rĩ, ndangĩtĩkĩrire igongona rĩa njino na igongona rĩa mũtu kuuma moko-inĩ maitũ, o na kana atuonie maũndũ maya mothe kana gũtwĩra ũguo aatwĩra rĩu.”
24 So the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson, —and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
Mũtumia ũcio agĩciara kahĩĩ na agĩgatua Samusoni. Gagĩkũra, nake Jehova agĩkarathima,
25 And the spirit of Yahweh began to urge him to and fro, in the camp of Dan, —between Zorah and Eshtaol.
nake Roho wa Jehova akĩambĩrĩria gũkaarahũra o hĩndĩ ĩyo kaarĩ kũu Mahane-Dani, gatagatĩ ga Zora na Eshitaoli.
