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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH; and YHWH delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 Aia no kekahi kanaka, no Zora, no ka Dana ohana, o Manoa kona inoa, ua pa kana wahine, aole i hanau.
There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.
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.
The angel of YHWH appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear 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.
Now therefore please be careful and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any 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 look, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor will come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. And he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
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.
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; and I didn't ask him where he was from, neither did he 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.
but he said to me, 'Look, you shall conceive, and bear a son. And now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite 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.
Then Manoah pleaded with YHWH, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall 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.
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.
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.
The woman ran quickly, and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the man who came to me the other day 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.
Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He 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?
Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"
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.
The angel of YHWH said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.
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 may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. All that I have commanded her she is to observe."
15 I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, E kaohi paha maua ia oe, a hoomakaukauia he kaokeiki, imua ou.
Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for you."
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.
The angel of YHWH said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to YHWH." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of YHWH.
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.
Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor 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 YHWH said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? It is incomprehensible."
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.
So Manoah took the young goat and a grain offering, and offered it on the rock to YHWH, YHWH who works wonders. And Manoah and his wife looked 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.
For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of YHWH ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.
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.
But the angel of YHWH did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of YHWH.
22 I ae la Manoa i kana wahine, E make auanei kaua, no ka mea, ua ike kaua i ke Akua.
Manoah 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 YHWH meant to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from us, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would he have spoken to us now like this."
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.
The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. And the child grew, and YHWH 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 YHWH began to direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
