Uk-ukom 13
1 Nagaramid manen dagiti tattao ti Israel iti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket impalubosna nga iturayan ida dagiti Filisteo iti uppat a pulo a tawen.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.
2 Adda maysa a lalaki nga agnagan iti Manoa, a nagtaud iti Zora, iti pamilia dagiti Danita. Saan a kabaelan ti asawana ti agsikog ket saan ngarud isuna a naganak.
Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
3 Nagparang ti anghel ni Yahweh iti babai ket kinunana kenkuana, “Ita kitaem, saanmo a kabaelan ti agsikog, ken saanka pay a nagan-anak, ngem agsikogkanto ket mangipasngaykanto iti maysa a lalaki.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
4 Ita, liklikam ti uminom iti arak wenno iti naingel a mainum, ken saanka a mangan iti aniaman a taraon nga ibagbaga ti linteg a narugit.
Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
5 Makitamto, agsikogka ket mangipasngaykanto iti maysa a lalaki. Masapul nga awan ti labaha a maisagid iti ulona, ta agbalinto a Nazireo iti Dios ti ubing manipud iti tiempo nga adda isuna iti aanakam. Rugiannanto a wayawayaan ti Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Filisteo.”
Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother’s womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
6 Kalpasanna, immay ti babai ket imbagana iti asawana, “Immay kaniak ti maysa a tao ti Dios, ken kasla maysa nga anghel ti Dios ti langana, ket pinagbutengnak iti kasta unay. Saanko a sinaludsod no sadino ti naggappuanna, ken saanna nga imbaga ti naganna.
And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.
7 Kinunana kaniak, 'Makitamto! Agsikogkanto, ket mangipasngaykanto iti maysa a lalaki. Saanka ngarud nga uminom iti arak wenno naingel a mainum, ken saanka a mangan iti aniaman a taraon nga ibagbaga ti linteg a narugit, gapu ta agbalinto a Nazireo ti Dios ti ubing manipud iti tiempo nga adda isuna iti aanakam agingga iti aldaw ti ipapatayna.”'
But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb until the day of his death.
8 Kalpasanna, nagkararag ni Manoa kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Apo, pangngaasim ta pagsubliem koma kadakami ti tao ti Dios nga imbaonmo tapno isurona kadakami ti aramidenmi iti ubing a dandanin maipasngay.”
Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.
9 Sinungbatan ti Dios ti kararag ni Manoa, ket immay manen ti anghel ti Dios iti babai idi agtugtugaw isuna idiay taltalon. Ngem saanna a kadua ni Manoa nga asawana.
And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,
10 Nagtaray ngarud a dagus ti babai ket imbagana iti asawana, “Kitaem! Nagparang ti tao kaniak-ti tao nga immay kaniak idi naminsan nga aldaw!”
She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
11 Timmakder ni Manoa ket simmurot iti asawana. Idi dimteng isuna iti ayan ti tao, kinunana, “Sika kadi ti tao a nakisao iti asawak?” Kinuna ti tao, “Siak.”
He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.
12 Kinuna ngarud ni Manoa, “Ita, pumudno koma dagiti saom. Ngem anianto dagiti annuroten para iti ubing, ken anianto ti agbalin a trabahona?”
And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?
13 Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Manoa, “Masapul nga aramidenna amin a banag nga imbagak kenkuana.
And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:
14 Saanna a mabalin ti mangan iti aniaman nga agtaud iti ubas, ken saanmo nga ipalubos nga uminom isuna iti arak wenno iti naingel a mainom; saanmo nga ipalubos a mangan isuna iti aniaman a taraon nga ibagbaga ti linteg a narugit. Masapul nga agtulnog isuna kadagiti amin nga imbilinko kenkuana nga aramidenna.
And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfill and observe.
15 Kinuna ni Manoa iti anghel ni Yahweh, “Pangngaasim ta agtalinaed kay pay bassit, tapno maikkankami iti gundaway a mangisagana iti urbon a kalding para kenka.”
And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.
16 Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Manoa, “Uray no agtalinaedak, saankonto a kanen ti taraonyo. Ngem no mangisaganakayo iti maysa a daton a maipuor amin, idatonyo daytoy kenni Yahweh.” (Saan nga ammo ni Manoa nga isuna ti anghel ni Yahweh.)
And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.
17 Kinuna ni Manoa iti anghel ni Yahweh, “Ania ti naganmo, tapno mapadayawandaka inton matungpal dagiti saom?”
And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
18 Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Apay a salsaludsodem ti naganko? Nakakaskasdaaw daytoy!”
And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
19 Nangala ngarud ni Manoa iti urbon a kalding agraman ti bukbukel a maidaton ket indatonda dagitoy iti rabaw ti dakkel a bato para kenni Yahweh. Nangaramid isuna iti maysa a banag a nakakaskasdaaw bayat nga agbuybuya ni Manoa ken ti asawana.
Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
20 Idi nagpangato iti tangatang ti apuy manipud iti altar, nagpangato ti anghel ni Yahweh iti apuy iti altar. Nakita daytoy ni Manoa ken ti asawana ket nagpaklebda iti daga.
And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.
21 Saanen a nagparang ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Manoa wenno iti asawana. Kalpasanna, naammoan ni Manoa nga isuna ti anghel ni Yahweh.
And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
22 Kinuna ni Manoa iti asawana, “Sigurado a matayta, gapu ta nakitata ti Dios!”
And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
23 Ngem kinuna ti asawana kenkuana, “No kayatnata a patayen ni Yahweh, saanna koma nga inawat ti daton a maipuor amin ken ti daton a bukel nga intedta kenkuana. Saanna koma nga imparang kadata amin dagitoy a banbanag, wenno uray iti daytoy a tiempo saanna koma nga impalubos a mangngegta ti kasta a banbanag.”
And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.
24 Saan a nagbayag, nangipasngay ti babai iti maysa a lalaki, ket pinanagananna iti Samson. Dimmakkel ti ubing ket binendisionan ni Yahweh isuna.
And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25 Rinuggian ti Espiritu ni Yahweh a tignayen isuna idiay Mahane Dan, ti nagbaetan ti Zora ken Estaol.
And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
