Mwet Nununku 13

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.

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 In pacl sac oasr sie mwet in siti Zorah su pangpang Manoah, sin sruf lal Dan, ac mutan kial ah el sie mutan talap.

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 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.

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 Karinganang tuh kom in tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ac nik kom kang kutena mongo ma oal.

Now therefore please be careful and drink no wine nor 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 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 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.

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 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.”

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 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.”

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 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.

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 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!”

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 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.”

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 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?”

Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"

13 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk, “Mutan kiom an el enenu in liyaung ma nukewa nga fahk nu sel ah.

The angel of YHWH said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

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 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 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.”

Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for 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.”

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 Na Manoah el fahk, “Su inem an, tuh kut fah ku in akfulatye kom ke pacl se kas lom inge ac akpwayeyuk.”

Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor you?"

18 Na lipufan sac el siyuk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek? Inek sie ine lukma.”

And the angel of YHWH said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Manoah el fahk nu sin mutan kial ah, “Pwayena lah kut ac misa, mweyen kut liyalak God!”

Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because 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.”

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 Na mutan sac oswela wen se, ac sang inel Samson. Ac tulik sac el kapak, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.

The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. And the child grew, and YHWH blessed 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 began to direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
