Mahukunta 13
1 Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka ya ba da su a hannun Filistiyawa shekara arba’in.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
2 Akwai wani mutumin Zora, mai suna Manowa, daga kabilar Dan, matarsa kuwa bakararriya ce, ba ta haihuwa.
Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.
3 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.
And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.
4 To, sai ki lura kada ki sha ruwan inabi ko wani abu mai sa maye, kada kuma ki ci wani abu marar tsarki,
Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
5 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.”
For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
6 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.
Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;
7 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.’”
But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.
8 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.”
Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.
9 Allah ya ji Manowa, sai mala’ikan Allah ya sāke zuwa wurin matar yayinda take gona; amma Manowa mijinta ba ya tare da ita.
And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 Sai matar ta ruga don ta faɗa wa mijinta, ta ce, “Ga shi ya zo! Mutumin da ya bayyana mini ran nan!”
So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
11 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.”
And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.
12 Saboda haka Manowa ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Sa’ad da maganarka ta cika, me za tă zama dokar rayuwar yaron da kuma aikinsa?”
And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?
13 Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Dole matarka ta kiyaye duk abin da na riga na gaya mata.
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
14 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.”
She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.
15 Manowa ya ce wa mala’ikan Ubangiji, “Muna roƙonka ka jira mu yanka maka ɗan akuya.”
And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
16 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.)
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.
17 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.”
Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?
18 Ya ce, “Me ya sa kake tambaya sunana? Ai, ya wuce fahimta.”
But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
19 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.
So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
20 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.
And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.
21 Da mala’ikan Ubangiji bai ƙara bayyana kansa ga Manowa da matarsa ba, sai Manowa ya gane cewa mala’ikan Ubangiji ne.
But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.
22 Ya ce wa matar, “Ba shakka za mu mutu, gama mun ga Allah!”
And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
23 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.”
But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.
24 Matar kuwa ta haifi ɗa, aka sa masa suna Samson. Ya yi girma Ubangiji kuma ya albarkace shi,
So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.
25 Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya fara iza shi yayinda yake a Mahane Dan, tsakanin Zora da Eshtawol.
And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
