< 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.
Nanao haratiañe indraik’ am-piva­zohoa’ Iehovà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio efa-polo taoñe.
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.
Teo t’indaty boake Tsorà, fifokoa’ i Dane, natao Manoàke, beitsiterake ty tañanjomba’e, mbe tsy nisamake.
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.
Nisodehañe amy rakembay ty anjeli’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Toe beitsiterake irehe, mbe tsy nahatoly, f’ie hiareñe hisamak’ ana-dahy.
4 Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and do not drink wine or strong drink, —nor eat anything unclean;
Ie amy zao mitaòa, asoao tsy hikama divay ndra toake, naho ko mikama raha faly.
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.
Inao, hiaren-drehe naho hisamak’ ana-dahy; le tsy hozàm-pihàratse ty loha’e amy te ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao i ajajay; vaho ie ty hiorotse handrombake Israele hiavotse am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
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.
Nimb’ amy vali’ey amy zao i rakembay nitalily ty hoe: Nivotrak’ amako ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanahake ty vintan’ anjelin’ Añahare ty vinta’e, toe nampañeveñe; fa tsy nañontaneako ty nihirifa’e, vaho tsy nitaroñe’e amako ty tahina’e;
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.
fe hoe re tamako, Inao! hiareñe vaho hisamak’ ana-dahy irehe le ko minon-divay ndra toake henane zao, ndra hihinan-draha faly; fa ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao pak’ añ’ andro hihomaha’e i ajajay.
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.
Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Manoàke, nanao ty hoe: Ry Talè, Ampombao mb’ ama’ay mb’ etoa indraike indatin’ Añahare nirahe’oy, hañòha’e ze hanoa’ay amy ajaja hasamakey.
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.
Hinaon’ Añahare ty fiarañanaña’ i Manoàke, vaho nivotrak’ amy rakembay indraike i anjelin’ Añaharey ie niam­besatse an-teteke ey, fe tsy tama’e i vali’ey.
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.
Nihitrike ty lay mb’ amy vali’ey mb’eo amy zao i rakembay nanao ty hoe: Ingo fa niheo amako aniany indaty nisodehañe amakoy.
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.
Aa le niongake t’i Manoàke nañorike i vali’ey naho niheo mb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo, le nanoa’ ty hoe: Ihe hao indaty nisaontsy amy rakembaiy? Le hoe re, Izaho.
12 And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass, —What shall be the rule for the boy, and his work?
Le hoe t’i Manoake, Ehe te ho tondroke i saontsi’oy. Akore ty andahara’ay i ajajay, vaho ino ty hanoe’ay ama’e?
13 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah, —Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Manoake, Ee te hilie-batañe amy nita­roñeko iabiy o rakembao,
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.
t’ie tsy hikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe boak’ amy vahey, le ko mei’o hinon-divay ndra toake, ndra ty hikama raha faly; hene ampiambeneñe aze o nandiliakoo.
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.
Le hoe t’i Manoak’ amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ehe’e te hise­bañ’ azo zahay haña­lan­kañe vik’ose.
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.
Aa le tinoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovày t’i Manoàke ami’ty hoe: Ndra te sebañe’o, tsy ho kamaeko o mahakama’oo, fe naho hañenga horoañe, le misoroña am’ Iehovà; amy te tsy napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
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?
Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ia’ ty tahina’o, hiasia’ay naho tondroke o saontsi’oo?
18 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore is it, that thou shouldst ask after my name, —seeing that, it, is Wonderful?
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Anjeli’ Iehovày: Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako, kanao tsikentañe?
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.
Aa le rinambe’ i Manoake ty vik’ ose rekets’ enga-mahakama naho nisoroña’e amy Iehovà am-bato eo, vaho nanoe’ i anjeliy halatsañe am-pisamba’ i Manoàke mirovaly,
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.
amy te, ie nionjomb’ an-dikeram-beo i lel’ afo boak’ amy kitreliiy, le nionjoñe amy lel’ afo boak’ an-kitreliy i anjeli’ Iehovày. Aa ie niisa’ i Manoake mirovaly izay le nibabok’ an-daharañe an-tane.
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.
Le tsy niboak’ amy Mano­àke naho amy vali’ey ka i anjeli’ Iehovà, fe napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall, die, —for, upon God, have we looked.
Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy tañanjomba’ey, Toe hivetrake tika kanao nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
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!
Fa hoe ka ty asa’ i vali’ey ama’e: Naho nipay hañoho-doza aman-tika t’Iehovà, tsy ho rinambe’e am-pitàn-tika i soroñey naho i banabanay, naho tsy ho naboa’e amantika, vaho tsy ho tinaro’e aman-tika henaneo i hoe zay.
24 So the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson, —and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
Nisamak’ ana-dahy i rakembay naho natao’e Simsone ty añara’e. Nitombo’ i ajajay vaho nitahie’ Iehovà.
25 And the spirit of Yahweh began to urge him to and fro, in the camp of Dan, —between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Namototse nañetsek’ aze betek’ an-kialo’ i Dane añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole ty Arofo’ Iehovà.
