< 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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì túnṣe ohun tí ó burú ní ojú Olúwa, Olúwa sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ará Filistini lọ́wọ́ fún ogójì ọdún.
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.
Ọkùnrin ará Sora kan wà, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Manoa láti ẹ̀yà Dani. Aya rẹ̀ yàgàn kò sì bímọ.
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.
Angẹli Olúwa fi ara han obìnrin náà, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ yàgàn, ìwọ kò sì tí ì bímọ, ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.
4 Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and do not drink wine or strong drink, —nor eat anything unclean;
Báyìí rí i dájúdájú pé ìwọ kò mu wáìnì tàbí ọtí líle kankan àti pé ìwọ kò jẹ ohun aláìmọ́ kankan,
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.
nítorí ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Má ṣe fi abẹ kan orí rẹ̀, nítorí pé Nasiri, ẹni ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run ni ọmọ náà yóò jẹ́ láti ọjọ́ ìbí rẹ̀. Òun ni yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìdáǹdè àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni obìnrin náà tọ ọkọ rẹ̀ lọ, o sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ̀ mí wá. Ó jọ angẹli Ọlọ́run, ó ba ènìyàn lẹ́rù gidigidi. Èmi kò béèrè ibi tí ó ti wá, òun náà kò sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ fún mi.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó sọ fún mi wí pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò lóyún, ìwọ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, fún ìdí èyí, má ṣe mu wáìnì tàbí àwọn ọtí líle mìíràn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ má ṣe jẹ ohunkóhun tí í ṣe aláìmọ́, nítorí pé Nasiri Ọlọ́run ni ọmọ náà yóò jẹ́ láti ọjọ́ ìbí rẹ̀ títí di ọjọ́ ikú rẹ̀.’”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Manoa gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé, “Háà Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ìwọ rán sí wa padà tọ̀ wá wá láti kọ́ wa bí àwa yóò ti ṣe tọ́ ọmọ tí àwa yóò bí náà.”
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.
Ọlọ́run fetí sí ohùn Manoa, angẹli Ọlọ́run náà tún padà tọ obìnrin náà wá nígbà tí ó wà ní oko ṣùgbọ́n ọkọ rẹ̀ Manoa kò sí ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà ni obìnrin náà ṣe yára lọ sọ fún ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ọkùnrin tí ó fi ara hàn mí ní ọjọ́sí ti tún padà wá.”
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 yára dìde, ó sì tẹ̀lé aya rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà ó ní, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni o bá obìnrin yìí sọ̀rọ̀?” Ọkùnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
12 And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass, —What shall be the rule for the boy, and his work?
Manoa bi ọkùnrin náà pé, “Nígbà tí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bá ṣẹ kí ni yóò jẹ́ ìlànà fún ìgbé ayé àti iṣẹ́ ọmọ náà?”
13 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah, —Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware.
Angẹli Olúwa náà dáhùn wí pé, “Aya rẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe gbogbo ohun tí mo ti sọ fún un
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.
kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó bá ti inú èso àjàrà jáde wá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ mu wáìnì tàbí àwọn ọtí líle mìíràn tàbí jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó bá jẹ́ aláìmọ́. Ó ní láti ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un.”
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 sọ fún angẹli Olúwa náà pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ dára dúró títí àwa yóò fi pèsè ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan fún ọ.”
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.
Angẹli Olúwa náà dá Manoa lóhùn pé, “Bí ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ dá mi dúró, èmi kì yóò jẹ ọ̀kankan nínú oúnjẹ tí ẹ̀yin yóò pèsè. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ ẹ pèsè ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, kí ẹ sì fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.” (Manoa kò mọ̀ pé angẹli Olúwa ní i ṣe.)
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?
Manoa sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli Olúwa náà pé, “Kí ni orúkọ rẹ, kí àwa bá à lè fi ọlá fún ọ nígbà tí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bá ṣẹ?”
18 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore is it, that thou shouldst ask after my name, —seeing that, it, is Wonderful?
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli Olúwa náà dáhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń béèrè orúkọ mi? Ìyanu ni, ó kọjá ìmọ̀.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Manoa mú ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́, pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ọkà, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ lórí àpáta kan sí Olúwa. Nígbà tí Manoa àti ìyàwó dúró tí wọn ń wò Olúwa ṣe ohun ìyanu kan.
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.
Bí ẹ̀là ahọ́n iná ti là jáde láti ibi pẹpẹ ìrúbọ náà sí ọ̀run, angẹli Olúwa gòkè re ọ̀run láàrín ahọ́n iná náà. Nígbà tí wọ́n rí ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ yìí, Manoa àti aya rẹ̀ wólẹ̀ wọ́n sì dojúbolẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí angẹli Olúwa náà kò tún fi ara rẹ̀ han Manoa àti aya rẹ̀ mọ́, Manoa wá mọ̀ pé angẹli Olúwa ni.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall, die, —for, upon God, have we looked.
Manoa sọ fún aya rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú àwa yóò kú nítorí àwa ti fi ojú rí Ọlọ́run.”
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!
Ṣùgbọ́n ìyàwó rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Bí Olúwa bá ní èrò àti pa wá kò bá tí gba ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ ọkà wa, tàbí fi gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí hàn wá tó sọ nǹkan ìyanu yìí fún wa.”
24 So the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson, —and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
Obìnrin náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Samsoni. Ọmọ náà dàgbà Olúwa sì bùkún un.
25 And the spirit of Yahweh began to urge him to and fro, in the camp of Dan, —between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ru sókè nígbà tí ó wà ní Mahane-Dani ní agbede-méjì Sora àti Eṣtaoli.
