Balam 13

1 Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyongera okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama. Mukama kyeyava abagabula mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti okumala emyaka amakumi ana.

And eft the sones of Israel diden yuel in the `siyt of the Lord, which bitook hem in to the hondis of Filisteis fourti yeer.

2 Ne wabaawo omusajja ow’e Zola, ow’omu kika ky’Abadaani, erinnya lye Manowa, eyalina mukazi we nga mugumba.

Forsothe a man was of Saraa, and of the kynrede of Dan, `Manue bi name, and he hadde a bareyn wijf.

3 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’alabikira omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Laba, kaakano, oli mugumba era atazaalanga ku mwana, naye oliba olubuto n’ozaala omwana wabulenzi.

To `which wijf an aungel of the Lord apperide, and seide to hir, Thou art bareyn, and with out fre children; but thou schalt conseyue, and schalt bere a sone.

4 Laba nga tonywa envinnyo, newaakubadde ekitamiiza kyonna, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu.

Therfor be thou war, lest thou drynke wyn, and sydur, nethir ete thou ony vnclene thing;

5 Kubanga, laba, oliba olubuto n’ozaala omwana wabulenzi, era tamwebwangako nviiri, kubanga omulenzi aliba Muwonge wa Katonda ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina, era yalitanula okulokola Isirayiri okuva mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti.”

for thou schalt conceyue and schalt bere a sone, whos heed a rasour schal not towche; for he schal be a Nazarei of God fro his yong age, and fro the modris wombe; and he schal bigynne to delyuere Israel fro the hond of Filisteis.

6 Awo omukazi n’agenda n’ategeeza bba, ng’agamba nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda yandabikidde mu kifaananyi kya malayika wa Katonda, era natidde nnyo. Simubuuzizza gy’avudde, ate era naye tambulidde linnya lye.

And whanne sche hadde come to hir hosebonde, sche seide to hym, The man of God cam to me, and hadde an aungel cheer, and he was ful ferdful, `that is, worschipful `and reuerent; and whanne Y hadde axide hym, who he was, and fro whannus he cam, and bi what name he was clepid, he nolde seie to me;

7 Wabula yaŋŋambye nti, ‘Laba oliba olubuto era olizaala omwana wabulenzi. Tonywanga envinnyo newaakubadde ekitamiiza kyonna, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu. Kubanga omulenzi aliba Muwonge eri Katonda ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina, era bw’atyo bw’aliba ennaku ez’obulamu bwe zonna.’”

but he answeride this, Lo! thou schalt conseyue, and schalt bere a sone; be thou war, that thou drynke not wyn ne sidur, nether ete ony vncleene thing; for the child schal be a Nazarey, `that is, hooli of the Lord, fro his yonge age and fro the modris wombe `til to the dai of his deeth.

8 Awo Manowa ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama wange, omusajja wa Katonda gwe watutumidde, akomewo. Ajje atuyigirize kye tuteekwa okukolera omulenzi anaatuzaalirwa.”

Therfor Manue preide the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, that the man of God, whom thou sentist, come eft, and teche vs, what we owen to do of the child, that schal be borun.

9 Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi lya Manowa, malayika wa Katonda n’akomawo eri omukazi, n’amusanga mu nnimiro, naye nga Manowa bba tali naye.

And the Lord herde Manue preiynge; and the aungel of the Lord apperide eft to his wijf sittynge in the feeld; forsothe Manue, hir hosebonde, was not with hir. And whanne sche hadde seyn the aungel,

10 Awo omukazi n’ayanguwa n’adduka n’ategeeza bba ng’agamba nti, “Laba omusajja eyandabikira olulala azze.”

sche hastide, and ran to hir hosebonde, and telde to hym, and seide, Lo! the man whom Y siy bifore, apperide to me.

11 Manowa n’agolokoka n’agoberera mukazi we. Bwe yatuuka awali omusajja n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe musajja eyayogera eri mukazi wange?” Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”

Which roos, and suede his wijf; and he cam to the man, and seide to hym, Art thou he, that hast spoke to the womman? And he answeride, Y am.

12 Manowa n’amubuuza nti, “Ebigambo byo bwe birituukirira, biragiro ki bye tuligoberera nga tukuza omulenzi?”

To whom Manue seide, Whanne thi word schal be fillid, what wolt thou, that the child do, ethir fro what thing schal he kepe hym silf?

13 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’addamu Manowa nti, “Ebyo byonna bye nagamba mukazi wo ateekwa okubikola.

And the `aungel of the Lord seide to Manue, Absteyne he hym silf fro alle thingis which Y spak to thi wijf.

14 Mukazi wo tateekwa kulya kibala ekiva mu zabbibu, newaakubadde okunywa envinnyo, newaakubadde okunywa ekitamiiza, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu. Ateekwa okukola buli kintu kye namulagira.”

And ete he not what euer thing cometh forth of the vyner, drynke he not wyn, and sidur, ete he not ony vncleene thing and fille he; and kepe that, that Y comaundide to hym.

15 Awo Manowa n’agamba malayika wa Mukama Katonda nti, “Sigala wano naffe, tukuteekereteekere akabuzi akato.”

Therfor Manue seide to the `aungel of the Lord, Y biseche, that thou assente to my preieris, and we aray to thee a `kide of the geet.

16 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’agamba Manowa nti, “Ne bwe nnaasigala nammwe, sijja kulya ku mmere yammwe. Wabula bwe munaateekateeka ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, mukiweeyo eri Mukama.” Mu kiseera ekyo Manowa teyamanya nga gwe yali ayogera naye yali malayika wa Mukama.

To whom the aungel of the Lord answeride, Thouy thou constreynest me, Y schal not ete thi looues; forsothe if thou wolt make brent sacrifice, offre thou it to the Lord. And Manue wiste not, that it was `an aungel of the Lord.

17 Awo Manowa n’abuuza malayika wa Mukama Katonda nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe ani, ekigambo ky’oyogedde bwe kirituukirira tulyoke tukuseemu ekitiibwa?”

And Manue seide to hym, What name is to thee, that if thi word be fillid, we onoure thee?

18 Malayika wa n’amuddamu nti, “Obuuliza ki erinnya lyange? Lisukka okutegeera.”

To whom he answeride, Whi axist thou my name, which is wondurful?

19 Awo Manowa n’addira akabuzi akato, n’ekiweebwayo eky’empeke, n’abiwaayo nga ssaddaaka ku lwazi eri Mukama Katonda. Mukama n’akola eky’ekyewuunyo nga Manowa ne mukazi we balaba.

Therfor Manue took a `kide of the geet, and fletynge sacrifices, and puttide on the stoon, and offryde to the Lord that doith wondirful thingis. Forsothe he and his wijf bihelden.

20 Omuliro bwe gwava mu Kyoto okugenda eri eggulu, malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu muliro gw’ekyoto. Manowa ne mukazi we bwe baamulaba, ne bagwa wansi ne bavuunama ng’obwenyi bwabwe butuukira ddala ku ttaka.

And whanne the flawme of the auter stiede in to heuene, the aungel of the Lord stiede togidere in the flawme. And whanne Manue and his wijf hadden seyn this, thei felden lowe to erthe.

21 Malayika wa Mukama bw’ataddayo kweraga gye bali, Manowa ne mukazi we ne bategeera ng’abadde malayika wa Mukama Katonda.

And the aungel of the Lord apperide no more to hem. And anoon Manue vndurstood, that he was an aungel of the Lord.

22 Manowa n’agamba mukazi we nti, “Tugenda kufa kubanga tulabye Katonda.”

And he seide to his wijf, We schulen die bi deeth, for we sien the Lord.

23 Naye mukazi we n’amugamba nti, “Singa Mukama Katonda yabadde wa kututta, teyandisiimye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekiweebwayo eky’empeke okuva gye tuli, newaakubadde okutulaga ebintu bino byonna, wadde okututegeeza kino.”

To whom the womman answeride, If the Lord wolde sle vs, he schulde not haue take of oure hondis brent sacrifices, and moiste sacrifices, but nether he schulde haue schewid alle thingis to vs, nether `he schulde haue seid tho thingis, that schulen come.

24 Awo omukazi n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, n’amutuuma Samusooni. Omwana n’akula, Mukama Katonda n’amuwa omukisa.

Therfor sche childide a sone, and clepide his name Sampson; and the child encreesside, and the Lord blesside hym.

25 Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’atandika okukolera mu Samusooni ng’ali mu Makanedani ekiri wakati w’e Zola ne Esutaoli.

And the spirit of the Lord bigan to be with hym in the castels of Dan, bitwixe Saraa and Escahol.
