Judges 13
1 The people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
イスラエルの子孫またヱホバのまへにて惡を行ひしかばヱホバこれを四十年の間ペリシテ人の手にわたしたまへり
2 There was a man from Zorah, of the clan of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. His wife was not able to become pregnant and so she had not given birth.
ここにダン人の族にて名をマノアとよべるゾラ人あり其の妻は石婦にして子を生みしことなし
3 The angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman and said to her, “See now, you have been unable to become pregnant, and you have not given birth, but you will become pregnant and you will give birth to a son.
ヱホバの使その女に現れて之にいひけるは汝は石婦にして子を生しことあらず然ど汝孕みて子をうまん
4 Now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean.
されば汝つつしみて葡萄酒および濃き酒を飮むことなかれまたすべて穢たるものを食ふなかれ
5 Look, you will become pregnant and give birth to a son. No razor will be used upon his head, for the child will be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
視よ汝孕みて子を產ん其の頭には剃刀をあつべからずその兒は胎を出るよりして神のナザレ人〔神に身を獻げし者〕たるべし彼ペリシテ人の手よりイスラエルを拯ひ始めんと
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like that of an angel of God, very terrible. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
その婦人來りて夫に告て曰けるは神の人我にのぞめりその容貌は神の使の容貌のごとくにして甚おそろしかりしが我其のいづれより來れるやを問ず彼また其の名を我に告ざりき
7 He said to me, 'Look! You will become pregnant, and you will give birth to a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and do not eat any food that the law declares to be unclean, because the child will be a Nazirite to God from the time he is in your womb until the day of his death.'”
彼我にいひけるは視よ汝孕みて子を產まん然ば葡萄酒および濃き酒を飮むなかれまたすべてけがれたるものを食ふなかれその兒は胎を出るより其の死る日まで神のナザレ人たるべしと
8 Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God you sent come again to us so that he may teach us what we are to do for the child who soon will be born.”
マノア、ヱホバにこひ求めていひけるはああわが主よ汝がさきに遣はしたまひし神の人をふたたび我らにのぞませ之をして我らがその產るる兒になすべき事を敎へしめたまへ
9 God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was sitting in the field. But Manoah her husband was not with her.
神マノアの聲をききいれたまひて神の使者婦人の田野に坐しをる時に復之にのぞめり時に夫マノアは共にをらざりき
10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Look! The man has appeared to me—the one who came to me the other day!”
是において婦いそぎ走りて夫に告て之にいひけるは先頃我にのぞみし人また我に現はれたりと
11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, “Are you the man who spoke with my wife?” The man said, “I am.”
マノアすなはち起て妻のあとに付て行き其人のもとに至りて之に汝はかつて此婦に語言し人なるかといふに然りとこたふ
12 So Manoah said, “Now may your words come true. What will be the rules for the child, and what will be his work?”
マノアいひけるは汝の言のごとく成ん時は其兒の養育方および之になすべき事は如何
13 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “She must carefully do everything that I said to her.
ヱホバの使者マノアにいひけるはわがさきに婦に言しところのことどもは婦之をつつしむべきなり
14 She may not eat anything that comes from the vines, and do not let her drink wine or strong drink or eat anything unclean. She must obey everything I have commanded her to do.”
すなはち葡萄樹よりいづる者は凡て食ふべからず葡萄酒と濃き酒を飮ずまたすべて穢たるものを食ふべからずすべてわが彼に命じたることどもを彼守るべきなり
15 Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please stay for a while, to give us time to prepare a young goat for you.”
マノア、ヱホバの使者にいひけるは請我らをして汝を款留しめ汝のまへに山羊羔を備へしめよ
16 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Even if I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to Yahweh.” (Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Yahweh.)
ヱホバの使者マノアにいひける汝我を款留るも我は汝の食物をくらはじまた汝燔祭をそなへんとならばヱホバにこれをそなふべしとマノアは彼がヱホバの使者なるを知ざりしなり
17 Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name, so we may honor you when your words come true?”
マノア、ヱホバの使者にいひけるは汝の名はなにぞ汝の言の效驗あらんときは我ら汝を崇ん
18 The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask my name? It is wonderful!”
ヱホバの使者之にいひけるは我が名は不思議なり汝何故に之をたづぬるやと
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered them on the rock to Yahweh. He did something marvelous while Manoah and his wife were watching.
マノア山羊羔と素祭物とをとり磐のうへにて之をヱホバにささぐ使者すなはち不思議なる事をなせりマノアとその妻之を視る
20 When the flame went up from the altar toward the sky, the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife saw this and lay facedown on the ground.
すなはち火燄壇より天にあがれるときヱホバの使者壇の火燄のうちにありて昇れりマノアと其の妻これを視をりて地にひれふせり
21 The angel of Yahweh did not appear again to Manoah or his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.
ヱホバの使者そののち重ねてマノアと其の妻に現はれざりきマノアつひに彼がヱホバの使者たりしを暁れり
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We are sure to die, because we have seen God!”
茲にマノアその妻にむかひ我ら神を視たれば必ず死ぬるならんといふに
23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh wanted to kill us, he would not have received the burnt offering and the grain offering we gave him. He would not have shown us all these things, nor at this time would he have let us hear such things.”
其の妻之にいひけるはヱホバもし我らを殺さんとおもひたまはばわれらの手より燔祭及び素祭をうけたまはざりしならんまたこれらの諸のことを我らに示すことをなしこたびのごとく我らに斯ることを告たまはざりしなるべしと
24 Later the woman gave birth to a son, and called his name Samson. The child grew up and Yahweh blessed him.
かくて婦子を產てその名をサムソンと呼べりその子育ち行くヱホバこれを惠みたまふ
25 Yahweh's Spirit began to stir him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
ヱホバの靈ゾラとエシタオルのあひだなるマハネダンにて始て感動す
