< Judges 13 >

1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka ya ba da su a hannun Filistiyawa shekara arba’in.
2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
Akwai wani mutumin Zora, mai suna Manowa, daga kabilar Dan, matarsa kuwa bakararriya ce, ba ta haihuwa.
3 The LORD’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gare ta ya ce, “Ga shi ke bakararriya ce ba kya haihuwa, amma za ki yi ciki ki kuma haifi ɗa.
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing;
To, sai ki lura kada ki sha ruwan inabi ko wani abu mai sa maye, kada kuma ki ci wani abu marar tsarki,
5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
gama za ki yi ciki, ki haifi ɗa. Aska ba za tă taɓa kansa ba, domin yaron zai zama Banazare, keɓaɓɓe ga Allah tun daga haihuwa, shi ne kuwa zai soma ceton Isra’ilawa daga hannuwan Filistiyawa.”
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
Sa’an nan matar ta tafi wajen mijinta ta faɗa masa cewa, “Wani mutumin Allah ya zo wurina. Ya yi kama da mala’ikan Allah, yana da bantsoro ƙwarai. Ban tambaye shi inda ya fito ba, kuma bai gaya mini sunansa ba.
7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
Sai dai ya ce mini, ‘Za ki yi ciki, ki kuma haifi ɗa. To, fa, kada ki sha ruwan inabi ko abu mai sa maye kada kuma ki ci abin da yake marar tsarki, gama ɗan zai zama Banazare na Allah tun daga haihuwa har ranar mutuwarsa.’”
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
Sai Manowa ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ina roƙonka, bari mutumin Allahn da ka aiko mana yă sāke zuwa don yă koya mana yadda za mu goyi yaron da za a haifa.”
9 God listened 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, wasn’t with her.
Allah ya ji Manowa, sai mala’ikan Allah ya sāke zuwa wurin matar yayinda take gona; amma Manowa mijinta ba ya tare da ita.
10 The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
Sai matar ta ruga don ta faɗa wa mijinta, ta ce, “Ga shi ya zo! Mutumin da ya bayyana mini ran nan!”
11 Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
Manowa ya tashi ya bi matarsa. Da ya zo wurin mutumin, sai ya ce, “Kai ne wanda ka yi magana da matata?” Ya ce, “Ni ne.”
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
Saboda haka Manowa ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Sa’ad da maganarka ta cika, me za tă zama dokar rayuwar yaron da kuma aikinsa?”
13 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Dole matarka ta kiyaye duk abin da na riga na gaya mata.
14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
Kada tă ci kowane iri abin da ya fito daga inabi, ba kuwa za tă sha ruwan inabi, ko abu mai sa maye ko ta ci abu marar tsarki ba. Dole tă kiyaye duk abin da na umarce mata.”
15 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
Manowa ya ce wa mala’ikan Ubangiji, “Muna roƙonka ka jira mu yanka maka ɗan akuya.”
16 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was the LORD’s angel.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Ko kun sa na tsaya, ba zan ci abincinku ba. Amma in kun shirya hadaya ta ƙonawa, ku miƙa wa Ubangiji.” (Manowa bai gane cewa mala’ikan Ubangiji ne ba.)
17 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honour you?”
Sa’an nan Manowa ya sāke tambayi mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Mene ne sunanka, don mu girmama ka sa’ad da maganarka ta tabbata.”
18 The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
Ya ce, “Me ya sa kake tambaya sunana? Ai, ya wuce fahimta.”
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
Sa’an nan Manowa ya ɗauki ɗan akuya, tare da hadaya ta hatsi ya miƙa wa Ubangiji a kan dutse. Ubangiji kuwa ya yi abin mamaki yayinda Manowa da matarsa suke kallo.
20 For when the flame went up towards the sky from off the altar, the LORD’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
Yayinda harshen wuta ya yi sama daga bagaden, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya haura cikin harshen wutar. Da ganin wannan Manowa da matarsa suka fāɗi da fuskokinsu har ƙasa.
21 But the LORD’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was the LORD’s angel.
Da mala’ikan Ubangiji bai ƙara bayyana kansa ga Manowa da matarsa ba, sai Manowa ya gane cewa mala’ikan Ubangiji ne.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
Ya ce wa matar, “Ba shakka za mu mutu, gama mun ga Allah!”
23 But his wife said to him, “If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
Amma matar ta ce, “Da Ubangiji yana nufin kashe mu ne, da ba zai karɓi hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta hatsi daga hannunmu, ko yă nuna mana dukan waɗannan abubuwa ko abin da ya gaya mana ba.”
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Matar kuwa ta haifi ɗa, aka sa masa suna Samson. Ya yi girma Ubangiji kuma ya albarkace shi,
25 The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya fara iza shi yayinda yake a Mahane Dan, tsakanin Zora da Eshtawol.
