Sog̒u 13
1 Un Israēla bērni darīja joprojām, kas Tam Kungam nepatika; tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Fīlistu rokā četrdesmit gadus.
The Israelites continued to do what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines to rule them for forty years.
2 Un tur bija viens vīrs no Careas, no Dana cilts, un viņa vārds bija Manoūs, un viņa sieva bija neauglīga un nedzemdēja.
At that time there was a man named Manoah. He was from the tribe of Dan and lived in the town of Zorah. His wife couldn't conceive and had no children.
3 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis parādījās tai sievai un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi neauglīga un neesi dzemdējusi, bet tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu.
The Angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her, “It's true that you couldn't conceive, and have no children, but now you're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.
4 Tad nu sargies un nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena un neēd nekā, kas nešķīsts.
So then please be careful not to drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean.
5 Jo redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, kam uz galvu nebūs nākt nekādam dzenamam nazim, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts (nazīrs) no mātes miesām, un viņš sāks Israēli izpestīt no Fīlistu rokas.
You're going to become pregnant and have a son whose head a razor must never touch, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth. He will start the process of saving Israel from the Philistines.”
6 Tad tā sieva nāca un runāja uz savu vīru un sacīja: viens Dieva vīrs pie manis atnāca; viņa ģīmis bija kā Dieva eņģeļa ģīmis, ļoti bijājams, un es viņu nevaicāju, no kurienes tas esot, un viņš man arī savu vārdu neteica.
The woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. He looked like the Angel of God, really frightening. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't did not tell me his name.
7 Bet viņš uz mani sacīja: redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, un nu nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena, nedz ēd ko, kas nešķīsts, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts no mātes miesām līdz pat savai nāves dienai.
But he told me, ‘You're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean. For the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth until the day of his death.’”
8 Tad Manoūs pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja: Ak Kungs, lai jel tas Dieva vīrs, ko Tu esi sūtījis, atkal pie mums atnāk un mums māca, ko lai ar to bērnu darām, kas piedzims.
Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent us return to us to explain what we're supposed to do with the boy who is to be born.”
9 Un Dievs paklausīja Manoūs balsi, un tas Dieva eņģelis nāca atkal pie tās sievas; un viņa sēdēja tīrumā, bet Manoūs, viņas vīrs, nebija pie viņas.
God responded to Manoah's request, and the Angel of God returned to the woman while she was sitting out in the field. However, her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 Tad tā sieva steidzās un skrēja un to pasacīja savam vīram, un uz to sacīja: redzi, tas vīrs man parādījies, kas tai dienā pie manis nāca.
So she ran quickly to tell her husband, “Look! The man who appeared to me the other day has come back!”
11 Tad Manoūs cēlās un gāja savai sievai pakaļ un nāca pie tā vīra un uz to sacīja: vai tu esi tas vīrs, kas uz to sievu runājis? Un tas sacīja: es tas esmu.
Manoah got up and went back with his wife, and asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife before?” “Yes I am,” he replied.
12 Tad Manoūs sacīja: kad nu tas notiks, ko tu sacījis, kāds tikums tad būs tam zēnam un kāds būs viņa darbs?
So Manoah said, “May your promise come true! What shall be decided for the boy, and what is to be his vocation?”
13 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū: no visa, ko es uz to sievu esmu runājis, viņai būs sargāties.
“Make sure your wife is careful to follow everything I told her,” the angel of the Lord replied.
14 Viņai nebūs ēst nekā, kas no vīna koka izaug, un viņai nebūs dzert ne vīna, ne stipra dzēriena, nedz ēst, kas nešķīsts, visu, ko es viņai esmu pavēlējis, viņai būs turēt.
“She must not eat anything that comes from the vine or drink wine or any other alcoholic drink. She must not eat anything unclean. Your wife must follow everything I instructed her to do.”
15 Tad Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: lūdzams, pakavējies un mēs sataisīsim priekš tevis kazlēnu.
Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us keep you here while we prepare a meal of a young goat for you.”
16 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū; jebšu tu mani uzkavētu, tomēr es no tavas maizes neēdīšu, bet ja tu gribi dedzināmo upuri pienest, to tu Tam Kungam vari upurēt. Jo Manoūs nezināja, viņu esam Tā Kunga eņģeli.
The angel of the Lord replied, “I'll stay, but I won't eat your food. However, if you prepare a burnt offering, you can present it to the Lord.” (Manoah didn't know he was the angel of the Lord.)
17 Un Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: kā tavs vārds? Ka tevi varam godāt, kad notiks pēc tava vārda.
Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so when your promise comes true we may honor you?”
18 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu tā vaicā pēc Mana Vārda, kas taču ir brīnišķīgs?
“Why do you ask this?” the angel of the Lord responded. “My name is beyond comprehension.”
19 Tad Manoūs ņēma kazlēnu un to ēdamo upuri, un to upurēja Tam Kungam uz tās klints; un viņš darīja brīnumu un Manoūs un viņa sieva skatījās.
Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and presented them on a rock to the Lord. As Manoah and his wife watched, the LORD did something amazing.
20 Jo kad liesma no altāra virsas šāvās pret debesi, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uzkāpa altāra liesmā. Un Manoūs un viņa sieva to redzēja un metās pie zemes uz saviem vaigiem.
As the flame from the altar blazed up into the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Manoah and his wife saw what happened and fell with their faces to the ground.
21 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis neparādījās vairs ne Manoūm, nedz viņa sievai. Tad Manoūs atzina, ka tas bija Tā Kunga eņģelis.
The angel of the Lord did not appear to Manoah or his wife again, and Manoah realized that he was the angel of the Lord.
22 Un Manoūs sacīja uz savu sievu: mēs tiešām mirsim, jo mēs esam Dievu redzējuši.
“We're definitely going to die,” he told his wife, “for we have seen God!”
23 Bet viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: kad Tas Kungs mūs gribētu nokaut, tad Viņš to dedzināmo upuri un ēdamo upuri nebūtu pieņēmis no mūsu rokām; Viņš arī visas šīs lietas mums nebūtu parādījis, nedz mums to licis dzirdēt šai laikā.
But his wife replied, “If the Lord had wanted to kill us he wouldn't have accepted our burnt offering and grain offering. He wouldn't have shown us all these things, and he wouldn't have come now and announced this to us.”
24 Un tā sieva dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Simsons, un tas zēns uzauga, un Tas Kungs to svētīja.
She gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
25 Un Tā Kunga Gars viņu sāka skubināt Dana lēģerī starp Careu un Estaoli.
The Spirit of the Lord began to prompt him at Mahaneh Dan, a place between Zorah and Eshtaol.
