Jasi Vahere 13
1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamofo avurera kefo zamavu'zmava hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a zamavareno Filistia vahe zamazampi zamantegeno, 40'a kafufi Filistia vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera kegava huzamante'ne'za zamazeri haviza hu'naze.
Again the Israeli people did things that Yahweh said were very evil. So Yahweh enabled the people of Philistia to conquer them. They ruled over the Israelis for 40 years.
2 Hagi ana knafina mago nera Dani nagapinti ne' Zora kumate nemania ne'mofo agi'a Manoa'e. Hagi nenaro'a mofavre onte naravo a' mani'ne.
There was a man named Manoah from the descendants of Dan who lived in Zorah [town]. His wife was unable to become pregnant, so they had no children.
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a Manoa nenaronte ehanatino amanage hu'ne, kagra Mofavrea onte naravo a' mani'nananagi, kamu'ene hunka ne' mofavre kasentegahane.
One day, Yahweh appeared to Manoah’s wife in the form of an angel, and said to her, “Even though you have not been able to give birth to any children until now, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son.
4 E'ina hu'negu waini tine, hankave tine, agruma osu'nesia ne'zanema ne'zankura kva hu'nenka onegahane.
[From now until he is born], you must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink, and you must not eat any food that will make you unacceptable to God.
5 Hagi antahio, kagra kamu'ene hunka ne' mofavre kasente'gahananki, ana mofavrea azokara taga osutfa huo. Na'ankure ana mofavrea krimpafi mani'negeno, Anumzamo'a otage eri'za vahere huno huhamprintegahiankino, Filistia vahe zamazampintira agra agafa huno Israeli vahera zamagu'vazigahie.
After you give birth to your son, you must never allow his hair to be cut. He must be dedicated to God from the day he is born until the day he dies. He is the one who will rescue [many of] the Israeli people from the people of Philistia.”
6 Anagema higeno'a ana a'mo'a eno nevena eme asamino amanage hu'ne, Anumzamofo vahe'mo'a nagrite eama hu'ne! Avu'ava'amo'a Anumzamofo ankeronkna huno so'e zantfa hu'ne. Igati e'ne, antahionkogeno agra agi'a onasami'ne.
The woman ran and told her husband, “A prophet came to me. He looked awesome, like an angel from God. I did not ask where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
7 Hianagi amanage huno nasami'ne, kamu'ene hunka ne' mofavre kasentegahananki, waini tine, hankave tine, agruma osu'nesia ne'zanena onetfa huo huno nasami'ne. Na'ankure ana mofavrea kasema onte'nenankeno'a Anumzamofo eri'za vahere huno huhamprinte'nigeno mani'neno ufrigahie huno nasami'ne.
But he told me, ‘You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. Until then, you must not drink any wine or any alcoholic/fermented drink, and you must not eat any food that would make you unacceptable to God. Your son must be dedicated to God from the day he is born until the day he dies.’”
8 Anagema higeno'a Manoa'a Ra Anumzamofontega amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki, vaheka'a mago'ene huntegeno kasemantenu'a mofavremofoma hunte'nua avu'ava zana eme rempi huramino.
Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh, saying, “O Yahweh, I plead with you, allow that prophet whom you sent to us to come again, and teach us how we should raise the boy who will be born to us.”
9 Anage higeno Anumzamo'a Manoa nunamu kea nentahino, ankero'a huntegeno Manoa nenaro'a hozafi mani'nere e'ne. Hianagi ana a'mofo neve Manoa'a anantera nenaro'enena omani'ne.
God did what Manoah asked, and Yahweh again appeared to his wife in the form of an angel, while she was out in the field. But again her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 Ana'ma higeno'a, ana a'mo'a agareno nevente vuno amanage ome hu'ne, Oki'ma e'nea ne'mo'a ete e'ne.
So she quickly ran and said to her husband, “The man who appeared to me a few days ago has come back again!”
11 Higeno ana kema nentahino'a Manoa'a ame huno nenarona avaririno vuno ana nete uhanatino amanage ome hu'ne, Kagra ama'na a'enema nanekema hu'nana nero? huno antahigegeno, Nagra ana nere.
Manoah ran back with his wife, and asked, “Are you the man who talked with my wife a few days ago?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
12 Higeno Manoa'a amanage hu'ne, Kema hu'nana kemo'ma nena rgama fore'ma hina, inankna tra ke ana mofavremo'a amagera nenteno, nanknahu eri'za erigahie?
Manoah asked him, “When what you promised occurs [and my wife gives birth to a son], what rules must he obey, and what work will he do [when he grows up]?”
13 Higeno Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage huno Manoa ke'nona hu'ne, Maka kema aka'amofoma asami'noa kea kegava hu'neno avararino.
Yahweh replied, “Your wife must obey all the instructions I gave her.
14 Hagi krepireti'ma tro'ma hanaza tine, waini tine, hankave tine, agruma osu'nesia ne'zanena onetfa hino.
[Before the baby is born], she must not eat grapes, or drink wine or any other alcoholic/fermented drink, or eat anything that would make her unacceptable to God.”
15 Anage higeno, Manoa'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofo ankerona asami'ne, Muse hugantoanki mani'negeta meme afu anentara ome aheta kregantamnena netenka vuo.
Then Manoah said, “Please stay here until we can kill and cook a young goat for you.”
16 Hagi anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage huno Manoana asami'ne, Nazerinte'nankena manigahuanagi, nezanka'a onegosue. Hianagi retrotra hunka Ra Anumzamofontega kre fananehu ofa hunto. Na'ankure Manoa'a Ra Anumzamofo ankerone huno antahino keno osu'ne.
Yahweh replied, “I will stay here, but I will not eat anything. However, you may kill an animal and sacrifice it as a burned offering to Yahweh.” (Manoah did not realize that the [man he thought was an] angel was really Yahweh.)
17 Anante Manoa'a amanage huno Ra anumzamofo ankerona antahige'ne? Ama ana kemo'ma nena raga'a efore'ma hanigetama kagima erisgama hanunkura, kagi'a azage huta ahegahue?
Then Manoah asked him, “What is your name? When what you have promised happens, we want to honor you.”
18 Higeno Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage huno Manoana asami'ne, Nagafare nagigura nantahinegane? Nagri nagimo'a knarezantfa hu'neankinka, antahi ani hugara osu'nane.
Yahweh replied, “(Why do you ask me my name?/You should not ask me my name.) [RHQ] It is (wonderful/it cannot be understood).”
19 Anagema higeno'a Manoa'a meme anenta azenerino, witine erinteno have agofetu Ra Anumzamofontega ofa eme higeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma ruzahukna kaguva zama hiazana ke'na'e.
Then Manoah killed a young goat and burned it on a rock, along with a grain offering, as a sacrifice to Yahweh. And Yahweh did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched.
20 Hagi teve anefamo'ma hagana haganama huno Kresramanama vu itareti'ma kumo'ma monafi marerigeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a ana tevegumpi mareri'ne. Hagi Manoa'ene nenaro'enema ana zama negekea zanavugosaregati mopafi mase'na'e.
Flames from the altar blazed up toward the sky, and Yahweh ascended in the flames. When Manoah and his wife saw that, they prostrated themselves on the ground.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'ma ete ru'enena Manoante'ene nenarontera omegeno, Manoa'a Ra Anumzamofo ankerone huno keno antahino hu'ne.
Although Yahweh did not appear in the form of an angel to Manoah and his wife again, Manoah realized that the [man they thought was an] angel was really Yahweh.
22 Hagi Manoa'a amanage huno nenarona asami'ne, Tamage tagra frigahu'e. Na'ankure tagra Anumzamofo ke'no'e.
So he said, “Now we will die, because we have seen God!”
23 Hianagi nenaro'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma tahe frinaku'ma hiresina kre fananehu ofane, witi ofanema hu'a ofa antahi noramino kaguvazana erifore higeta nonkokeno, amama eme tasamia nanekea ontasamisine.
But his wife said, “No, we will not die, because if Yahweh intended to kill us, he would not have accepted the burned offering and the grain offering. And he would not have appeared to us and told us the wonderful thing that would happen to us, and he would not have performed this miracle.”
24 Hagi ana a'mo'a ne' mofavre kasenteno agi'a Samsoni'e huno ante'ne. Hagi ana mofavremo'ma nenama nehigeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.
When their son was born, they named him Samson. Yahweh blessed him as he grew up.
25 Hagi Zora kuma'ene Estaoli kumatremofo amu'nompima me'nea kumate Mahane-dani Samsoni'a mani'negeno, Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a agafa huno agu'afina eri'zana eri'ne.
And while he was in Mahaneh-Dan, which is between Zorah and Eshtaol [towns], Yahweh’s Spirit began to control him.
