Lunakanawai 13

1 HANA hewa hou iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova; a haawi mai la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, i hookahi kanaha makahiki.

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 Aia no kekahi kanaka, no Zora, no ka Dana ohana, o Manoa kona inoa, ua pa kana wahine, aole i hanau.

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 Ikea mai ka anela o Iehova e ka wahine, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua pa oe, aole i hanau; e hapai auanei oe, a hanau mai i keikikane.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, you are barren and have not born; yet you shall conceive a son.

4 No ia mea la ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, mai ai hoi i kekahi mea haumia.

And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;

5 Aia hoi, e hapai ana oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane, aole e kau ka pahiumiumi ma kona poo; no ka mea, e lilo ia keiki i Nazarite ia Iehova, mai ka opu aku; nana e hoomaka i ka hoola i ka Iseraela, mai ka lima aku o ko Pilisetia.

for behold, you are with child, and shall 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 Alaila, hele ae la ka wahine, a hai ae la i kana kane, i ae la, Ua hele mai nei ke kanaka o ke Akua ia'u, ua like kona helehelena me ka helehelena o ka anela o ke Akua, weliweli loa. Aole au i ninau aku ia ia i kona wahi, aole hoi ia i hai mai ia'u i kona inoa.

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 I mai la ia ia'u, Aia hoi, e hapai auanei oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane. Nolaila ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, aole hoi e ai i kekahi mea haumia; no ka mea, e lilo ua keiki la i Nazarite i ke Akua mai ka opu mai, a hiki i ka la o kona make ana.

And he said to me, Behold, you are with child, and shall 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 Alaila, nonoi aku la o Manoa ia Iehova, i aku la, E kuu Haku e, e kuu mai i ko ke Akua kanaka au i hoouna mai ai, e hele hou mai ia maua, e ao mai ia maua i na mea a maua e hana aku ai i ke keiki e hanau mai ana.

And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray you, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom you sent; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.

9 Hoolohe mai la ke Akua i ka leo o Manoa, a hele hou mai ka anela o ke Akua i ua wahine la, i kona noho ana, ma ke kula, aka, o Manoa, o kana kane aole ia pu me ia.

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 Wikiwiki iho la ka wahine, a holo, a hoike ae la i kana kane, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua ike hou ia mai la ia'u ke kanaka i hele mai ai ia'u i kela la.

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 Ku ae la o Manoa a hahai aku la i kana wahine, a hiki i ua kanaka la, i aku la ia ia, O oe anei ke kanaka i olelo mai ai i ua wahine nei? I mai la kela, Owau no.

And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].

12 I aku la o Manoa, E hookoia kau olelo. Pehea la maua e hooponopono ai i ke keiki? Heaha hoi ka hana nana?

And Manoe said, Now shall [your] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?

13 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, E malama pono ka wahine i na mea a pau a'u i olelo aku ai ia ia.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.

14 Mai ai oia i kekahi mea o ke kumuwaina, mai inu i ka waina, aole hoi i ka mea awaawa, mai ai oia i ka mea haumia. O na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia ia, e malama pono ia.

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 I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, E kaohi paha maua ia oe, a hoomakaukauia he kaokeiki, imua ou.

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain you here, and prepare before you a kid of the goats.

16 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, Ina kaohi mai oe ia'u, aole loa au e ai i kau berena; a ina e mohai oe i ka mohai kuni, e mohai oe ia no Iehova: no ka mea, aole i ike o Manoa he anela ia no Iehova.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If you should detain me, I will not eat of your bread; and if you would offer a whole burnt offering, to the Lord you shall offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.

17 I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, Owai kou inoa? I hoomaikai aku ai maua ia oe i ka wa e ko ai kau mau olelo.

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] your name, that [when] your word shall come to pass, we may glorify you?

18 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i ninau mai ai i ko'u inoa, no ka mea, he kupanaha ia.

And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?

19 Kii ae la o Manoa i kaokeiki, a me ka mohai makana, a kaumaha aku la no Iehova maluna o ka po haku: a hana kupanaha iho la ia; a nana aku la o Manoa a me kana wahine.

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 I ka pii ana aku o ka lapalapa iluna i ka lani, mai ka lele aku, pii pu aku la ka anela o Iehova maloko o ka lapalapa o ke ahi o ka lele. Nana aku la o Manoa a me kaua wahine, a hina iho la ilalo ke alo i ka honua.

And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar towards 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 Aole ike hou ia ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa a me kana wahine. Alaila ike pono iho la o Manoa, he anela ia no Iehova.

And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.

22 I ae la Manoa i kana wahine, E make auanei kaua, no ka mea, ua ike kaua i ke Akua.

And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

23 I mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ina i manao mai o Iehova e pepehi mai ia kaua, ina ua lawe ole oia i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohai makana mai ko kaua lima aku, aole hoi e hoike mai ia kaua i keia mau mea a pau, aole hoi e hai mai ia kaua peneia.

But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received of our hand a whole burnt offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shown us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things

24 Hanau mai la ua wahine la, he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o Samesona. Nui ae la ua keiki nei, a hoomaikai mai o Iehova ia ia.

And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.

25 Hoomaka iho la ka Uhane o Iehova e hooikaika ia ia, ma Mahanedana, mawaena o Zora a me Asetaola.

And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
