< Mpitsara 13 >
1 Nanao haratiañe indraik’ am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio efa-polo taoñe.
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 Teo t’indaty boake Tsorà, fifokoa’ i Dane, natao Manoàke, beitsiterake ty tañanjomba’e, mbe tsy nisamake.
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 Nisodehañe amy rakembay ty anjeli’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Toe beitsiterake irehe, mbe tsy nahatoly, f’ie hiareñe hisamak’ ana-dahy.
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 Ie amy zao mitaòa, asoao tsy hikama divay ndra toake, naho ko mikama raha faly.
And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
5 Inao, hiaren-drehe naho hisamak’ ana-dahy; le tsy hozàm-pihàratse ty loha’e amy te ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao i ajajay; vaho ie ty hiorotse handrombake Israele hiavotse am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
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 Nimb’ amy vali’ey amy zao i rakembay nitalily ty hoe: Nivotrak’ amako ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanahake ty vintan’ anjelin’ Añahare ty vinta’e, toe nampañeveñe; fa tsy nañontaneako ty nihirifa’e, vaho tsy nitaroñe’e amako ty tahina’e;
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 fe hoe re tamako, Inao! hiareñe vaho hisamak’ ana-dahy irehe le ko minon-divay ndra toake henane zao, ndra hihinan-draha faly; fa ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao pak’ añ’ andro hihomaha’e i ajajay.
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 Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Manoàke, nanao ty hoe: Ry Talè, Ampombao mb’ ama’ay mb’ etoa indraike indatin’ Añahare nirahe’oy, hañòha’e ze hanoa’ay amy ajaja hasamakey.
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 Hinaon’ Añahare ty fiarañanaña’ i Manoàke, vaho nivotrak’ amy rakembay indraike i anjelin’ Añaharey ie niambesatse an-teteke ey, fe tsy tama’e i vali’ey.
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 Nihitrike ty lay mb’ amy vali’ey mb’eo amy zao i rakembay nanao ty hoe: Ingo fa niheo amako aniany indaty nisodehañe amakoy.
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 Aa le niongake t’i Manoàke nañorike i vali’ey naho niheo mb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo, le nanoa’ ty hoe: Ihe hao indaty nisaontsy amy rakembaiy? Le hoe re, Izaho.
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 Le hoe t’i Manoake, Ehe te ho tondroke i saontsi’oy. Akore ty andahara’ay i ajajay, vaho ino ty hanoe’ay ama’e?
And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
13 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Manoake, Ee te hilie-batañe amy nitaroñeko iabiy o rakembao,
And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
14 t’ie tsy hikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe boak’ amy vahey, le ko mei’o hinon-divay ndra toake, ndra ty hikama raha faly; hene ampiambeneñe aze o nandiliakoo.
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 Le hoe t’i Manoak’ amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ehe’e te hisebañ’ azo zahay hañalankañe vik’ose.
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
16 Aa le tinoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovày t’i Manoàke ami’ty hoe: Ndra te sebañe’o, tsy ho kamaeko o mahakama’oo, fe naho hañenga horoañe, le misoroña am’ Iehovà; amy te tsy napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
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 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ia’ ty tahina’o, hiasia’ay naho tondroke o saontsi’oo?
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
18 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Anjeli’ Iehovày: Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako, kanao tsikentañe?
And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
19 Aa le rinambe’ i Manoake ty vik’ ose rekets’ enga-mahakama naho nisoroña’e amy Iehovà am-bato eo, vaho nanoe’ i anjeliy halatsañe am-pisamba’ i Manoàke mirovaly,
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 amy te, ie nionjomb’ an-dikeram-beo i lel’ afo boak’ amy kitreliiy, le nionjoñe amy lel’ afo boak’ an-kitreliy i anjeli’ Iehovày. Aa ie niisa’ i Manoake mirovaly izay le nibabok’ an-daharañe an-tane.
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 Le tsy niboak’ amy Manoàke naho amy vali’ey ka i anjeli’ Iehovà, fe napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
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 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy tañanjomba’ey, Toe hivetrake tika kanao nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
23 Fa hoe ka ty asa’ i vali’ey ama’e: Naho nipay hañoho-doza aman-tika t’Iehovà, tsy ho rinambe’e am-pitàn-tika i soroñey naho i banabanay, naho tsy ho naboa’e amantika, vaho tsy ho tinaro’e aman-tika henaneo i hoe zay.
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 Nisamak’ ana-dahy i rakembay naho natao’e Simsone ty añara’e. Nitombo’ i ajajay vaho nitahie’ Iehovà.
And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
25 Namototse nañetsek’ aze betek’ an-kialo’ i Dane añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole ty Arofo’ Iehovà.
and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
