Mpitsara 13

1 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray, ka dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànan’ ny Filistina efa-polo taona izy.

Bvt the children of Israel continued to commit wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord deliuerd them into the handes of the Philistims fourtie yeere.

2 Ary nisy lehilahy avy tany Zora amin’ ny fokon’ ny Danita, Manoa no anarany; ary momba ny vadiny ka tsy niteraka.

Then there was a man in Zorah of the familie of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was baren, and bare not.

3 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niseho tamin-dravehivavy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, momba ianao ka tsy niteraka; nefa hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy.

And the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto the woman, and said vnto her, Beholde nowe, thou art baren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne.

4 Koa mitandrema ianao ankehitriny, ka aza misotro divay na toaka, ary aza mihinana akory izay zava-padina.

And nowe therefore beware that thou drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing.

5 Fa, indro, hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy; ary tsy mba hokasihin-kareza ny lohany; fa ho Nazirita ho an’ Andriamanitra hatrany an-kibo ny zaza; ary izy no hanomboka hamonjy ny Isiraely amin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina.

For loe, thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, and no rasor shall come on his head: for the childe shall be a Nazarite vnto God from his birth: and he shall begin to saue Israel out of the handes of the Philistims.

6 Dia nandeha ravehivavy ka nilaza tamin’ ny vadiny hoe: Nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tamiko, ary nahatahotra indrindra ny fijery azy, tahaka ny fijery Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra, ka tsy nanontany Azy izay nihaviany aho, ary tsy nambarany ahy ny anarany.

Then the wife came, and tolde her husband, saying, A man of God came vnto me, and the facion of him was like the facion of the Angel of God exceeding feareful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name,

7 Fa hoy Izy tamiko: Indro, hanan’ anaka ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy; koa ankehitriny aza misotro divay na toaka ianao, ary aza mihinana akory izay zava-padina; fa ho Nazirita ho an’ Andriamanitra ny zaza hatrany an-kibo ka ambara-pahafatiny

But he saide vnto me, Beholde, thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and nowe thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shalbe a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death.

8 Ary Manoa nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ry Tompo ô, aoka hankatỳ aminay indray ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ilay efa nirahinao, ka hampianatra anay ny hitondranay ny zaza izay ho teraka.

Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and saide, I pray thee, my Lord, Let the man of God, whome thou sentest, come againe nowe vnto vs, and teach vs what we shall doe vnto the child when he is borne.

9 Ary Andriamanitra nihaino ny feon’ i Manoa, ka dia nankany amin-dravehivavy indray Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra, raha tany an-tsaha izy; fa Manoa vadiny tsy teo aminy.

And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angel of God came againe vnto the wife, as she sate in the fielde, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10 Dia nihazakazaka faingana ravehivavy ka nanambara tamin’ ny vadiny hoe: Indro, niseho tamiko indray ny lehilahy izay tonga tamiko tamin’ ilay indray andro.

And the wife made haste and ranne, and shewed her husband and sayde vnto him, Behold, the man hath appeared vnto me, that came vnto me to day.

11 Dia nitsangana Manoa ka nandeha nanaraka ny vadiny, dia nankany amin-dralehilahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao moa ilay lehilahy niteny tamin-dravehivavy? Dia hoy Izy: Eny, Izaho no Izy.

And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man, and saide vnto him, Art thou the man that spakest vnto the woman? and he said, Yea.

12 Dia hoy Manoa: Raha tanteraka ilay teninao, ahoana ange no hitondranay ny zaza, ary inona no ho asany?

Then Manoah sayde, Nowe let thy saying come to passe: but howe shall we order the childe and doe vnto him?

13 Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Manoa: Izay rehetra efa nolazaiko tamin-dravehivavy dia aoka hotandremany avokoa.

And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said vnto her.

14 Izay rehetra avy amin’ ny voaloboka dia aza avela hohaniny, ary aza avela hisotro divay na toaka izy, na hihinana akory izay zava-padina; izay rehetra nandidiako azy dia aoka hotandremany avokoa.

She may eate of nothing that commeth of the vinetree: she shall not drinke wine nor strong drinke, nor eate any vncleane thing: let her obserue all that I haue commanded her.

15 Ary hoy Manoa tamin’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah: Aoka mba hotananay Hianao mandra-pamboatray zanak’ osy ho Anao.

Manoah then said vnto the Angell of the Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill we haue made readie a kid for thee.

16 Dia hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Manoa: Na dia tananao aza Aho, tsy mba hihinana amin’ ny haninao Aho tsy akory; fa raha hanatitra fanatitra dorana ianao, dia aoka Jehovah no hanateranao izany. Fa tsy fantatr’ i Manoa ho Anjelin’ i Jehovah Izy.

And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord: for Manoah knewe not that it was an Angel of the Lord.

17 Dia hoy Manoa tamin’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah: Iza moa no anaranao, mba hanomezanay voninahitra Anao, rehefa tanteraka ny teninao?

Againe Manoah said vnto the Angell of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to passe, we may honour thee?

18 Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Nahoana no manontany ny anarako ianao? Fa anarana mahagaga izany.

And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret?

19 Dia naka ny zanak’ osy sy ny fanatitra hohanina Manoa ka nanatitra ireny teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy ho an’ i Jehovah; ary Ilay Anjely kosa nanao zava-mahagaga, raha mbola nijery teo Manoa mivady.

Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on.

20 Ary raha niakatra ho amin’ ny lanitra ny lelafo avy teo amin’ ny alitara, dia niakatra teo anatin’ ny lelafo avy teo amin’ ny alitara Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah. Ary nijery izany Manoa mivady, ka dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.

For when the flame came vp toward heauen from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife behelde it, and fell on their faces vnto the grounde.

21 Ary tsy niseho tamin’ i Manoa sy ny vadiny intsony Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah; dia fantatr’ i Manoa fa Anjelin’ i Jehovah Izy.

(So the Angel of the Lord did no more appeare vnto Manoah and his wife.) Then Manoah knewe that it was an Angel of the Lord.

22 Ary hoy Manoa tamin’ ny vadiny: Ho faty tokoa isika, satria efa nahita an’ Andriamanitra.

And Manoah said vnto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we haue seene God.

23 Fa hoy ny vadiny taminy: Raha sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hahafaty antsika, dia tsy ho nety nandray fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina tamin’ ny tanantsika akory Izy, ary tsy ho nampahita antsika izany zavatra rehetra izany, ary tsy ho nampandre antsika izany zavatra izany ankehitriny.

But his wife saide vnto him, If the Lord woulde kill vs, he woulde not haue receiued a burnt offring, and a meate offring of our hands, neither would he haue shewed vs all these things, nor would now haue tolde vs any such.

24 Ary niteraka zazalahy ravehivavy, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Samsona; dia nitombo ny zaza, ary Jehovah nitahy azy.

And the wife bare a sonne, and called his name Samson: and the childe grewe, and the Lord blessed him.

25 Dia niantomboka nanindry azy indraindray ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tany Mahane-dana, teo anelanelan’ i Zora sy Estaola.

And the Spirite of the Lord beganne to strengthen him in the host of Dan, betweene Zorah, and Eshtaol.
