< 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.
HANA hewa hou iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova; a haawi mai la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, i hookahi kanaha makahiki.
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.
Aia no kekahi kanaka, no Zora, no ka Dana ohana, o Manoa kona inoa, ua pa kana wahine, aole i hanau.
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.
Ikea mai ka anela o Iehova e ka wahine, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua pa oe, aole i hanau; e hapai auanei oe, a hanau mai i keikikane.
4 Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and do not drink wine or strong drink, —nor eat anything unclean;
No ia mea la ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, mai ai hoi i kekahi mea haumia.
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.
Aia hoi, e hapai ana oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane, aole e kau ka pahiumiumi ma kona poo; no ka mea, e lilo ia keiki i Nazarite ia Iehova, mai ka opu aku; nana e hoomaka i ka hoola i ka Iseraela, mai ka lima aku o ko Pilisetia.
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.
Alaila, hele ae la ka wahine, a hai ae la i kana kane, i ae la, Ua hele mai nei ke kanaka o ke Akua ia'u, ua like kona helehelena me ka helehelena o ka anela o ke Akua, weliweli loa. Aole au i ninau aku ia ia i kona wahi, aole hoi ia i hai mai ia'u i kona inoa.
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.
I mai la ia ia'u, Aia hoi, e hapai auanei oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane. Nolaila ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, aole hoi e ai i kekahi mea haumia; no ka mea, e lilo ua keiki la i Nazarite i ke Akua mai ka opu mai, a hiki i ka la o kona make ana.
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.
Alaila, nonoi aku la o Manoa ia Iehova, i aku la, E kuu Haku e, e kuu mai i ko ke Akua kanaka au i hoouna mai ai, e hele hou mai ia maua, e ao mai ia maua i na mea a maua e hana aku ai i ke keiki e hanau mai ana.
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.
Hoolohe mai la ke Akua i ka leo o Manoa, a hele hou mai ka anela o ke Akua i ua wahine la, i kona noho ana, ma ke kula, aka, o Manoa, o kana kane aole ia pu me ia.
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.
Wikiwiki iho la ka wahine, a holo, a hoike ae la i kana kane, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua ike hou ia mai la ia'u ke kanaka i hele mai ai ia'u i kela la.
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.
Ku ae la o Manoa a hahai aku la i kana wahine, a hiki i ua kanaka la, i aku la ia ia, O oe anei ke kanaka i olelo mai ai i ua wahine nei? I mai la kela, Owau no.
12 And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass, —What shall be the rule for the boy, and his work?
I aku la o Manoa, E hookoia kau olelo. Pehea la maua e hooponopono ai i ke keiki? Heaha hoi ka hana nana?
13 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah, —Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware.
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, E malama pono ka wahine i na mea a pau a'u i olelo aku ai ia ia.
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.
Mai ai oia i kekahi mea o ke kumuwaina, mai inu i ka waina, aole hoi i ka mea awaawa, mai ai oia i ka mea haumia. O na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia ia, e malama pono ia.
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.
I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, E kaohi paha maua ia oe, a hoomakaukauia he kaokeiki, imua ou.
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.
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, Ina kaohi mai oe ia'u, aole loa au e ai i kau berena; a ina e mohai oe i ka mohai kuni, e mohai oe ia no Iehova: no ka mea, aole i ike o Manoa he anela ia no Iehova.
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?
I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, Owai kou inoa? I hoomaikai aku ai maua ia oe i ka wa e ko ai kau mau olelo.
18 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore is it, that thou shouldst ask after my name, —seeing that, it, is Wonderful?
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i ninau mai ai i ko'u inoa, no ka mea, he kupanaha ia.
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.
Kii ae la o Manoa i kaokeiki, a me ka mohai makana, a kaumaha aku la no Iehova maluna o ka po haku: a hana kupanaha iho la ia; a nana aku la o Manoa a me kana wahine.
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.
I ka pii ana aku o ka lapalapa iluna i ka lani, mai ka lele aku, pii pu aku la ka anela o Iehova maloko o ka lapalapa o ke ahi o ka lele. Nana aku la o Manoa a me kaua wahine, a hina iho la ilalo ke alo i ka honua.
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.
Aole ike hou ia ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa a me kana wahine. Alaila ike pono iho la o Manoa, he anela ia no Iehova.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall, die, —for, upon God, have we looked.
I ae la Manoa i kana wahine, E make auanei kaua, no ka mea, ua ike kaua i ke Akua.
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!
I mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ina i manao mai o Iehova e pepehi mai ia kaua, ina ua lawe ole oia i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohai makana mai ko kaua lima aku, aole hoi e hoike mai ia kaua i keia mau mea a pau, aole hoi e hai mai ia kaua peneia.
24 So the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson, —and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
Hanau mai la ua wahine la, he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o Samesona. Nui ae la ua keiki nei, a hoomaikai mai o Iehova ia ia.
25 And the spirit of Yahweh began to urge him to and fro, in the camp of Dan, —between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Hoomaka iho la ka Uhane o Iehova e hooikaika ia ia, ma Mahanedana, mawaena o Zora a me Asetaola.
