Jij 13
1 Fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men a Filisten yo pandan karant ane.
And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.
2 Te gen yon sèten nonm nan Tsorea nan fanmi Danit yo, ki te rele Manoach. Madanm li te esteril e li pa t janm fè pitit.
And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not.
3 Konsa, zanj SENYÈ a te parèt a fanm nan e te di li: “Gade byen, koulye a, ou esteril e ou pa janm fè pitit, men ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, thou art barren and hast not born; yet thou shalt conceive a son.
4 Konsa, fè atansyon pou pa bwè diven, oswa okenn bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp.
And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;
5 Paske, gade byen, ou va vin ansent e bay nesans a yon fis. Nanpwen razwa k ap vini sou tèt li. Paske gason an va yon Nazareyen pou Bondye depi nan vant. Li va kòmanse delivre Israël soti nan men a Filisten yo.”
for behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.
6 Epi fanm nan te vin pale mari li. Li te di: “Yon nonm Bondye te vin kote m; aparans li te tankou aparans a yon zanj Bondye, byen mèvèye. Epi mwen pa t mande li kote li te sòti, ni li pa t di mwen non li.
And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance [was as] of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.
7 Men li te di mwen: ‘Gade byen, ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis. Soti koulye a, ou p ap bwè diven ni bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp, paske gason an va yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant jis rive jou ke li mouri an.’”
And he said to me, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.
8 Alò, Manoach te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O SENYÈ, souple kite nonm Bondye ke Ou te voye vin kote nou an ankò pou l kapab enstwi nou kisa pou nou fè pou gason k ap vin fèt la.”
And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom thou sentest; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.
9 Bondye te koute vwa a Manoach, epi zanj Bondye a te vini ankò vè fanm nan pandan li te chita nan chan an. Men Manoach, mari li a, pa t avè l.
And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.
10 Konsa, fanm nan te kouri vit di mari li: “Gade byen, nonm ki te vini lòt jou a te parèt devan m.”
And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in [the other] day to me has appeared to me.
11 Konsa, Manoach te leve swiv fanm li an e lè li te vin kote nonm nan, li te di li: “Èske ou se nonm Bondye ki te pale avèk fanm mwen?” Epi li te di: “Mwen se li”.
And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].
12 Manoach te di: “Alò, lè pawòl ou yo vin akonpli, kijan de vi ak vokasyon gason sila a va genyen?”
And Manoe said, Now shall [thy] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?
13 Konsa, nonm Bondye a te di a Manoach: “Kite fanm nan byen okipe tout sa ke m te di li yo.
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.
14 Li pa dwe manje anyen ki sòti nan chan rezen, ni bwè diven, ni bwason fò, ni manje okenn bagay ki pa pwòp. Kite li swiv tout sa ke m te kòmande yo.”
She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.
15 Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Souple, pèmèt nou fè ou fè yon ti reta pou nou kab prepare yon jenn kabrit pou ou.”
And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain thee here, and prepare before thee a kid of the goats.
16 Zanj SENYÈ a te di a Manoach: “Malgre ou fè m fè reta a, mwen p ap manje manje ou. Men si ou prepare yon ofrann brile, alò, ofri li bay SENYÈ a.” Paske Manoach pa t konnen ke li te yon zanj SENYÈ a.
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wouldest offer a whole-burnt-offering, to the Lord thou shalt offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.
17 Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Kòman yo rele ou, dekwa ke lè pawòl ou yo vin rive pou nou kapab onore ou?”
And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] thy name, that [when] thy word shall come to pass, we may glorify thee?
18 Men zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen, akoz nou wè li depase konnesans?”
And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why dost thou thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?
19 Konsa, Manoach te pran jenn kabrit la avèk ofrann sereyal la pou te ofri li sou wòch SENYÈ a. Epi Li menm, zanj SENYÈ a, te fè mèvèy pandan Manoach avèk madanm li t ap gade.
And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and [the angel] wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.
20 Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè flanm nan te monte sou lotèl la vè syèl la, ke zanj SENYÈ a te monte nan flanm lotèl la. Lè Manoach avèk madanm li te wè sa, yo te tonbe atè sou figi yo.
And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.
21 Alò, zanj SENYÈ a pa t vin parèt a Manoach ni madanm li ankò. Konsa, Manoach te vin konnen ke se te zanj SENYÈ a ke li te ye.
And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.
22 Epi Manoach te di a madanm li: “Anverite, n ap mouri, paske nou te wè Bondye.”
And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23 Men madanm li te di li: “Si SENYÈ a te vle touye nou, Li pa t ap aksepte ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal la soti nan men nou, ni Li pa t ap montre nou tout bagay sila yo, ni Li pa t ap kite nou tande tout bagay sa yo konsa nan moman sa a.”
But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to slay us, he would not have received of our hand a whole-burnt-offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shewn us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things
24 Fanm nan te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Samson. Pitit la te vin gran e SENYÈ a te beni li.
And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25 Lespri SENYÈ a te kòmanse vire nan li nan kan Dan nan, antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol.
And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
