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 children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 Teo t’indaty boake Tsorà, fifokoa’ i Dane, natao Manoàke, beitsiterake ty tañanjomba’e, mbe tsy nisamake.
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bore not.
3 Nisodehañe amy rakembay ty anjeli’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Toe beitsiterake irehe, mbe tsy nahatoly, f’ie hiareñe hisamak’ ana-dahy.
And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 Ie amy zao mitaòa, asoao tsy hikama divay ndra toake, naho ko mikama raha faly.
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine, nor strong drink, and eat not 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 lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from his birth: and he shall begin to deliver Israel from 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;
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither did he tell me his name:
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.
But he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean [thing]: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from his birth to 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.
Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my LORD, let the man of God, whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be 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 hearkened 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 [was] 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 made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man hath appeared to me, that came to me the [other] day.
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 arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, [Art] thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, 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 said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
13 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Manoake, Ee te hilie-batañe amy nitaroñeko iabiy o rakembao,
And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, let her beware.
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 may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean [thing]; all that I commanded her let her observe.
15 Le hoe t’i Manoak’ amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ehe’e te hisebañ’ azo zahay hañalankañe vik’ose.
And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
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 angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldst detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
17 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ia’ ty tahina’o, hiasia’ay naho tondroke o saontsi’oo?
And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honor?
18 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Anjeli’ Iehovày: Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako, kanao tsikentañe?
And the angel of the LORD said to him, why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?
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,
So Manoah took a kid, with a meat-offering, and offered [it] upon a rock to the LORD; and [the angel] did wonderously, and Manoah and his wife looked 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.
For it came to pass, when the flame ascended towards heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to the ground.
21 Le tsy niboak’ amy Manoàke naho amy vali’ey ka i anjeli’ Iehovà, fe napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
22 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy tañanjomba’ey, Toe hivetrake tika kanao nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because 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.
But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meat-offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these [things], nor would, as at this time, have told us [such things] as these.
24 Nisamak’ ana-dahy i rakembay naho natao’e Simsone ty añara’e. Nitombo’ i ajajay vaho nitahie’ Iehovà.
And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25 Namototse nañetsek’ aze betek’ an-kialo’ i Dane añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole ty Arofo’ Iehovà.
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
