1 Mwet Israel elos sifilpa oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, ke ma inge LEUM GOD El lela tuh mwet Philistia in leum faclos yac angngaul.
And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH gives them into the hand of the Philistines [for] forty years.
2 In pacl sac oasr sie mwet in siti Zorah su pangpang Manoah, sin sruf lal Dan, ac mutan kial ah el sie mutan talap.
And there is a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danite, and his name [is] Manoah, his wife [is] barren, and has not borne;
3 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD sikyang nu sin mutan sac ac fahk, “Soenna oasr tulik nutum mweyen kom talap, tusruktu ac tia paht kom ac pitutu, ac oswela sie wen.
and the Messenger of YHWH appears to the woman and says to her, “Now behold, you [are] barren and have not borne; when you have conceived, then you have borne a son.
4 Karinganang tuh kom in tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ac nik kom kang kutena mongo ma oal.
And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
5 Na tukun wen se nutum an el isusla, kom in tia kal aunsifal, mweyen len se na ma el isusla ah fahla el fah sriyukla nu sin God oana sie mwet Nazirite. El pa ac molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
for behold, you are conceiving and bearing a son, and a razor does not go up on his head, for the youth is a Nazarite to God from the womb, and he begins to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
6 Na mutan sac som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Sie mwet lun God tuku nu yuruk. Arulana aksangeng lumahl, oana elan sie lipufan lun God. Nga tiana siyuk lah el tuku ya me, ac el tia pacna fahk inel nu sik.
And the woman comes and speaks to her husband, saying, “A Man of God has come to me, and His appearance [is] as the appearance of the Messenger of God, very fearful, and I have not asked Him where He [is] from, and he has not declared His Name to me;
7 Tusruktu el fahk nu sik lah nga ac fah pitutu ac oswela sie wen. Ac el fahk pac mu nga in tiana nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal, mweyen tulik sac ac fah sie mwet Nazirite nu sin God ke lusen moul lal nufon.”
and He says to me, Behold, you are pregnant, and bearing a son, and now do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, for the youth is a Nazarite to God from the womb until the day of his death.”
8 Na Manoah el pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nunak munas, lela tuh mwet lun God se su kom supwama meet ah in sifil foloko nu yorosr ac fahk nu sesr lah mea kut ac oru nu sin tulik se inge ke el ac isusla uh.”
And Manoah makes plea to YHWH and says, “O my Lord, the Man of God whom You sent, please let Him come in again to us, and direct us what we do to the youth who is born.”
9 God El oru oana ma Manoah el siyuk ah. Lipufan lun God sifilpa foloko nu yurin mutan sac ke el muta in ima ah, tusruktu mukul tumal el wangin in pacl sac.
And God listens to the voice of Manoah, and the Messenger of God comes again to the woman, and she [is] sitting in a field, and her husband Manoah is not with her,
10 Na mutan sac sulaklak som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Liye, mwet se ma tuh tuku nu yuruk ah el sifilpa sikyak nu sik!”
and the woman hurries, and runs, and declares [it] to her husband, and says to him, “Behold, He has appeared to me—the Man who came on [that] day to me.”
11 Manoah el tuyak ac fahsr tukun mutan kial ah, ac ke el sun mwet sac, el siyuk sel, “Ku kom pa mwet se ma sramsram nu sin mutan kiuk ah?” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Aok.”
And Manoah rises, and goes after his wife, and comes to the Man, and says to Him, “Are you the Man who spoke to the woman?” And He says, “I [am].”
12 Na Manoah el fahk, “Na inge, ke pacl se ma kas lom inge akpwayeyeyuk, mea tulik se inge ac oru? Moul fuka el ac moulkin?”
And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
13 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk, “Mutan kiom an el enenu in liyaung ma nukewa nga fahk nu sel ah.
And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
14 El tia enenu in kang kutena ma su tuku ke fokin grape, ku nim kutena wain, ku mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal. El enenu in oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu sel ah.”
she does not eat of anything which comes out from the wine-vine, and she does not drink wine and strong drink, and she does not eat any unclean thing; she observes all that I have commanded her.”
15 Manoah el fahk nu sin lipufan lun LEUM GOD, “Nunak munas, nimet kom sa som. Soano kut in akmolyela soko nani fusr kom in mongo.”
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
16 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Manoah, “Kom finne ikolyuwi, nga ac tia kang mongo kom oru an. Tusruktu kom fin lungse oru, kom kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD.”
And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “If you detain Me—I do not eat of your bread; and if you prepare a burnt-offering—offer it to YHWH”; for Manoah has not known that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH.
17 Na Manoah el fahk, “Su inem an, tuh kut fah ku in akfulatye kom ke pacl se kas lom inge ac akpwayeyuk.”
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
18 Na lipufan sac el siyuk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek? Inek sie ine lukma.”
And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
19 Na Manoah el eis soko nani fusr ac kutu wheat, ac el kisakin ma inge fin sie eot nu sin LEUM GOD su oru ma usrnguk.
And Manoah takes the kid of the goats, and the present, and offers on the rock to YHWH, and He is doing wonderfully, and Manoah and his wife are looking on,
20 Ke pacl se e sac firiryak liki loang sac, na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el weak firir sac nu inkusrao. Ke Manoah ac mutan kial ah ngetang liye ma inge, eltal putati ac faksufi nu infohk uh.
and it comes to pass, in the going up of the flame from off the altar toward the heavens, that the Messenger of YHWH goes up in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife are looking on, and they fall on their faces to the earth,
21 Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el tia sifil sikyak nu sel Manoah ac mutan kial ah, na Manoah el tufah akilenak lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa mwet sac.
and the Messenger of YHWH has not added again to appear to Manoah, and to his wife, then Manoah has known that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH.
22 Manoah el fahk nu sin mutan kial ah, “Pwayena lah kut ac misa, mweyen kut liyalak God!”
And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
23 Na mutan kial ah topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El funu lungse unikuti, El lukun tia insewowo ke mwe kisa kut orala, ac El lukun tia pac akkalemye ma inge nu sesr, ku fahkak kas ouinge nu sesr ke pacl se inge.”
And his wife says to him, “If YHWH were desirous to put us to death, He had not received burnt-offering and present from our hands, nor showed us all these things, nor caused us to hear [anything] like this as [at this] time.”
24 Na mutan sac oswela wen se, ac sang inel Samson. Ac tulik sac el kapak, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.
And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
25 Ac ku lun LEUM GOD mutawauk in akkeyal ke el muta ke iwen aktuktuk lun mwet Dan in masrlon acn Zorah ac acn Eshtaol.
and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
