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.
Abako-Israyeli benza okubi njalo emehlweni kaThixo, ngakho uThixo wabanikela ezandleni zamaFilistiya okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
2 Aia no kekahi kanaka, no Zora, no ka Dana ohana, o Manoa kona inoa, ua pa kana wahine, aole i hanau.
Umuntu othile waseZora, owayethiwa nguManowa, owosendo lwakoDani, wayelomfazi owayeyinyumba engelamntwana.
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.
Ingilosi kaThixo yabonakala kuye yathi, “Uyinyumba kawulamntwana, kodwa uzathatha isisu ube lendodana.
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.
Ngakho nanzelela ukuthi kawunathi wayini loba okunye okunathwayo okulemvubelo kanye lokuthi ungadli ukudla okungcolileyo,
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.
ngoba uzathatha isisu uzale indodana. Akungabi lempuco ezasetshenziswa ekhanda layo, ngoba umfana uzakuba ngumNaziri, owahlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu kusukela ekuzalweni, njalo uzakukhulula abako-Israyeli ezandleni zamaFilistiya.”
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.
Emva kwalokho owesifazane lowo waya kumkakhe wamtshela wathi, “Kufike umuntu kaNkulunkulu kimi. Ubefana lengilosi kaNkulunkulu, esesabeka kakhulu. Angimbuzanga ukuthi ubevela ngaphi, njalo laye kangitshelanga ibizo lakhe.
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.
Kodwa uthe kimi, ‘Uzathatha isisu uzale indodana. Ngakho-ke unganathi iwayini loba okunye okunathwayo okulemvubelo, njalo ungadli lutho olungcolileyo, ngoba umfana uzakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kusukela ekuzalweni kuze kube lusuku lokufa kwakhe.’”
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.
UManowa wasekhuleka kuThixo esithi, “Awu Nkosi, ngiyakucela, umuntu kaNkulunkulu omthumileyo kabuye futhi azesifundisa ukuthi umfana ozazalwa wondliwa njani.”
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.
UNkulunkulu wamuzwa uManowa, ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yafika njalo kowesifazane lowo esegangeni; kodwa umkakhe uManowa wayengekho.
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.
Owesifazane lowo wagijima wayatshela umkakhe wathi, “Ukhona lapha! Umuntu engimbone mhlalokhuyana!”
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.
UManowa wasuka walandela umkakhe. Esefikile kulowomuntu, wathi, “Unguwe yini lowo owakhuluma lomkami?” Yena wathi, “Nginguye.”
12 I aku la o Manoa, E hookoia kau olelo. Pehea la maua e hooponopono ai i ke keiki? Heaha hoi ka hana nana?
Ngakho uManowa wambuza wathi, “Lapho amazwi akho esegcwalisekile, umfana kuzamele aphile njani njalo lomsebenzi wakhe uzakuba ngowani?”
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.
Ingilosi kaThixo yaphendula yathi, “Umkakho kumele enze konke engimtshele khona.
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.
Kangadli lutho oluvela evinini, loba anathe iwayini loba okunye okunathwayo okulemvubelo loba adle ukudla okungcolileyo. Kumele enze konke engimlaye khona.”
15 I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, E kaohi paha maua ia oe, a hoomakaukauia he kaokeiki, imua ou.
UManowa wathi engilosini kaThixo, “Sifuna ukuba uhlale size sikuhlabele izinyane lembuzi.”
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.
Ingilosi kaThixo yaphendula yathi, “Loba lingangibamba ngamandla ukuba ngihlale, angiyikukudla ukudla kwenu. Kodwa nxa lilungisa umnikelo wokutshiswa, unikeleni kuThixo.” (UManowa kananzelelanga ukuthi kwakuyingilosi kaThixo.)
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.
UManowa waseyibuza ingilosi kaThixo esithi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho, ukuze sikubonge lapho ilizwi lakho seligcwalisekile?”
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.
Yaphendula yathi, “Kungani ungibuza ibizo lami? Kaliqedisiseki.”
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.
Lapho-ke uManowa wathatha izinyane lembuzi, ndawonye lomnikelo wamabele wakunikela kuThixo phezu kwedwala. Njalo uThixo wenza into emangalisayo uManowa lomkakhe bekhangele:
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.
Kwathi ilangabi libhebha lisuka e-alithareni lisiya ezulwini, ingilosi kaThixo yenyukela phezulu iphakathi kwelangabi. Bebona lokhu uManowa lomkakhe bathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
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.
Kwathi ingilosi kaThixo ingasazibonakalisanga futhi kuManowa lomkakhe, uManowa wananzelela ukuthi kwakuyingilosi kaThixo.
22 I ae la Manoa i kana wahine, E make auanei kaua, no ka mea, ua ike kaua i ke Akua.
Wasesithi kumkakhe, “Silahliwe, sizakufa. Sibone uNkulunkulu!”
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.
Kodwa umkakhe waphendula wathi, “Aluba uThixo ubeqonde ukusibulala, ubengasoze amukele umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wamabele ezandleni zethu, loba asitshengise zonke lezizinto kumbe asitshele lokhu asitshele khona.”
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.
Owesifazane wazala umfana wamuthi nguSamsoni. Wakhula loThixo wambusisa,
25 Hoomaka iho la ka Uhane o Iehova e hooikaika ia ia, ma Mahanedana, mawaena o Zora a me Asetaola.
loMoya kaThixo waqala ukuqubuka phakathi kwakhe eseseMahane Dani, phakathi kweZora le-Eshithawoli.
