Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Ndị Izrel mehiekwara ọzọ nʼihu onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị kwenyere ka ndị Filistia merie ha. Ndị Izrel nọrọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị ha iri afọ anọ.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bore not.
Nʼoge ahụ, o nwere otu nwoke onye Zora aha ya bụ Manoa. Nwoke a si nʼagbụrụ Dan, nwunye ya bụ nwanyị aga nke mere na ọ mụtaghị nwa.
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Otu ụbọchị, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gosiri nwanyị a onwe ya, gwa ya okwu sị, “Ọ bụ ezie na ị bụ nwanyị aga nke mere na ị mụtaghị nwa ma na mgbe na-adịghị anya, ị ga-atụrụ ime mụta nwa.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine, nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing]:
Ma site ugbu a, gaa nʼihu, aṅụkwala ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla na-aba nʼanya. Erikwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ.
5 For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from his birth: and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
Ị ga-atụrụ ime, mụkwaa nwa nwoke, onye agụba agaghị aba nʼisi ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-abụ onye e kewapụrụ nye Chineke site nʼime akpanwa. Ọ ga-ebute ụzọ nʼịgbapụta Izrel site nʼaka ndị Filistia.”
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither did he tell me his name:
Nwanyị ahụ gbara ọsọ gbalaa gaa gwa di ya sị ya, “Otu onye nke Chineke egosila m onwe ya. O dokwara m anya na ọ bụ mmụọ ozi Chineke, nʼihi na ọ dị oke ebube nʼile anya. Ma ajụghị m ya ebe o siri bịa, ọ gwakwaghị m aha ya.
7 But he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean [thing]: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death.
Kama ọ sịrị m, ‘Ị ga-adị ime, mụta nwa nwoke. Ma ugbu a, ị gaghị aṅụ mmanya vaịnị maọbụ ihe ọbụla na-aba nʼanya, maọbụ rie ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na nwantakịrị ahụ ga-abụ onye e doro nsọ nye Chineke, site nʼime akpanwa ruo nʼọnwụ ya.’”
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my LORD, let the man of God, whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.
Mgbe ahụ, Manoa kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ sị, “Biko, Onyenwe anyị, ka onye nke Chineke ahụ i ziteere anyị bịaghachikwa ọzọ, kuziere anyị otu anyị ga-esi zụlite nwa nwoke a ga-amụta.”
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband [was] not with her.
Chineke zara ekpere ya. Mmụọ ozi ahụ bịakwutekwara nwunye Manoa mgbe ọ nọ nʼubi; maọbụ naanị ya nọ, di ya anọghị ya.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man hath appeared to me, that came to me the [other] day.
Ya mere, nwanyị ahụ gbara ọsọ gaa gwa di ya sị, “Lee, nwoke ahụ bịakwutere m ụbọchị a, abịala ọzọ!”
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, [Art] thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I [am].
Manoa biliri, soro nwunye ya. Mgbe o bịarutere ebe nwoke ahụ nọ, ọ jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ gị bụ nwoke ahụ gwara nwunye m okwu nʼoge gara aga?” Ọ zara sị ya, “E, ọ bụ m.”
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
Manoa gwara ya okwu sị, “Mgbe okwu gị mezuru, gịnị bụ iwu banyere ndụ na ọrụ nwa nwoke a?”
13 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, let her beware.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri, “Nwunye gị aghaghị imezu ihe niile m nke m gwara ya.
14 She may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean [thing]; all that I commanded her let her observe.
Ka ọ ghara iri ihe ọbụla si nʼosisi vaịnị, maọbụ ṅụọ mmanya ọbụla maọbụ ihe ọbụla na-aba nʼanya, maọbụ rie ihe rụrụ arụ ọbụla.”
15 And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
Manoa rịọrọ Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị si ya, “Ọ ga-amasị anyị ma ị nọdụ chere ka anyị kwadoro gị nwa ewu.”
16 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldst detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
Ma Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị zara ya, “A sịkwarị na i mee ka m nọrọ, agaghị m eri nri gị ọbụla. Ma ọ bụrụ na i kwadoo aja nsure ọkụ, were ya chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.” Ma Manoa aghọtaghị na onye ahụ bụ Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị.
17 And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honor?
Mgbe ahụ, Manoa jụrụ Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị ahụ, sị, “Biko, gịnị bụ aha gị, ka anyị nye gị nsọpụrụ dịịrị gị mgbe okwu gị mezuru?”
18 And the angel of the LORD said to him, why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?
Ọ zara, “Nʼihi gịnị kwa ka ị na-ajụ banyere aha m? Ọ bụ ihe karịrị nghọta.”
19 So Manoah took a kid, with a meat-offering, and offered [it] upon a rock to the LORD; and [the angel] did wonderously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Mgbe ahụ, Manoa weere nwa ewu, ya na ụfọdụ mkpụrụ ọka, jiri ha chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nʼelu nkume. Mgbe ahụ kwa, Onyenwe anyị mere ihe dị ebube nke ukwuu mgbe Manoa na nwunye ya guzo na-ele anya:
20 For it came to pass, when the flame ascended towards heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to the ground.
Mgbe ire ọkụ ahụ sitere nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ na-arịgo na-aga elu, Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị wụliri elu soro ire ọkụ ahụ rigoro gawa nʼeluigwe! Mgbe Manoa na nwunye ya hụrụ ka nke a na-eme, ha kpuru ihu ha nʼala.
21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
Mgbe Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-egosighị onwe ya ọzọ nye Manoa na nwunye ya, ka Manoa ghọtara na ọ bụ Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị ka ha hụrụ.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Manoa gwara nwunye ya sị, “Anyị abụrụla ndị nwụrụ anwụ, nʼihi na anyị ahụla Chineke!”
23 But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meat-offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these [things], nor would, as at this time, have told us [such things] as these.
Ma nwunye ya zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị chọrọ igbu anyị, ọ garaghị anara aja nsure ọkụ, na aja mkpụrụ ọka anyị chụrụ nye ya. Ọzọkwa, ọ garaghị egosi anyị ihe ndị a niile maọbụ gwa anyị ihe ndị a.”
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Emesịa, nwanyị ahụ mụrụ nwa nwoke, onye ha gụrụ Samsin. Onyenwe anyị gọzikwara nwantakịrị ahụ mgbe ọ na-etolite.
25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị bidokwara na-agba ya ume nʼoge niile, mgbe ọ nọ Mahane Dan, nke dị nʼetiti Zora na Eshtaol.
