Abbootii Murtii 13
1 Israaʼeloonni ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; kanaafuu Waaqayyo waggaa afurtama dabarsee harka Filisxeemotaatti isaan kenne.
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 Namicha gosa Daan keessaa dhalatee Zoraa jiraatu kan Maanoʼaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; niitiin isaas dhabduu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabne turte.
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 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos isheetti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Kunoo ati dhabduu ijoollee hin qabnee dha; garuu ulfooftee ilma deessa.
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 Egaa ati akka daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne yookaan waan xuraaʼaa tokko illee hin nyaanne of eeggadhu;
And now, please take heed and do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
5 ati ulfoofte ilma daʼuuf jirtaatii. Qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqin; inni gaafa dhalatee jalqabee Naaziricha taʼuudhaan kan Waaqaaf addaan baafame taʼaatii; inni harka Filisxeemotaatii Israaʼeloota furuu jalqaba.”
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 Dubartiin sunis gara dhirsa ishee dhaqxee akkana jettee itti himte; “Nama Waaqaa tokkotu gara koo dhufe. Innis ergamaa Waaqayyoo fakkaatee akka malee nama sodaachisa. Ani akka inni eessaa dhufe isa hin gaafanne; innis maqaa isaa natti hin himne.
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 Garuu inni, ‘Ati ulfooftee ilma deessa. Egaa siʼachi daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugin; waan xuraaʼaas hin nyaatin; sababiin isaas inni gaafa dhalatee jalqabee hamma duʼutti Naaziricha Waaqaa taʼaatii’ naan jedhe.”
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 Maanoʼaanis, “Yaa Gooftaa, akka namichi Waaqaa kan ati gara keenyatti ergite sun ammas dhufee akka nu itti mucaa dhalatu sana guddisuu qabnu nu barsiisuuf akka nuuf ergitu sin kadhadha” jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate.
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 Waaqnis Maanoʼaa dhagaʼe; ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis utuu isheen lafa qotiisaa keessa teessuu gara dubartii sanaa deebiʼee dhufe; dhirsi ishee Maanoʼaan garuu ishee wajjin hin turre.
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 Dubartittiinis dhirsa isheetti himuuf ariifattee, “Kunoo! Namichi guyyaa kaan natti mulʼate sun as jira!” jette.
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 Maanoʼaanis kaʼee niitii isaa duukaa buʼe. Innis yommuu namicha bira gaʼetti, “Namni niitii kootti dubbate siʼii?” jedheen. Innis, “Anuma” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Maanoʼaan, “Yeroo dubbiin kee raawwatamutti seerri mucichi ittiin jiraatuu fi hojiin inni hojjetu maali?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And Manoah says, “Now let Your words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth—and his work?”
13 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee deebise; “Niitiin kee waan ani itti hime hunda gochuu qabdi.
And the Messenger of YHWH says to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her take heed;
14 Isheen waan muka wayinii irraa argamu tokko illee nyaachuu hin qabdu; daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu dhuguu yookaan waan xuraaʼaa kam iyyuu nyaachuu hin qabdu. Isheen waan ani ishee ajaje hunda gochuu qabdi.”
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 Maanoʼaanis ergamaa Waaqayyootiin, “Hamma nu korbeessa reʼee xinnaa isaa siif qopheessinutti nuu turi” jedhe.
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “Please let us detain You, and we prepare a kid of the goats before You.”
16 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo, “Ati na tursitu illee, ani nyaata kee kam iyyuu hin nyaadhu. Garuu yoo aarsaa gubamu qopheessuu feete, isa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessi” jedheen. Maanoʼaan akka inni ergamaa Waaqayyoo taʼe hin beekne ture.
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 Sana booddee Maanoʼaan ergamaa Waaqayyootiin, “Akka nu yeroo dubbiin ati dubbatte fiixaan baʼutti ulfina siif kenninuuf maqaan kee eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.
And Manoah says to the Messenger of YHWH, “What [is] Your Name? When Your words come to pass, then we have honored You.”
18 Innis, “Ati maaliif maqaa koo gaafatta? Inni akka malee dinqii dha” jedheen.
And the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why do you ask this, My Name, since it [is] incomprehensible?”
19 Maanoʼaanis korbeessa reʼee xinnaa isaa kennaa midhaanii wajjin geessee kattaa irratti Waaqayyoof aarsaa godhe. Utuma Maanoʼaa fi niitiin isaa ilaalanuus Waaqayyo waan dinqii godhe.
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 Yeroo arrabni ibiddaa iddoo aarsaa irraa samiitti ol baʼetti ergamaan Waaqayyoo arraba ibiddaa keessaan ol baʼe. Maanoʼaa fi niitiin isaa waan kana arganii adda isaaniitiin lafatti gombifaman.
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 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo garuu deebiʼee Maanoʼaa fi niitii isaatti hin mulʼanne. Maanoʼaanis akka inni ergamaa Waaqayyoo taʼe beeke.
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 Innis niitii isaatiin, “Nu Waaqa argineerraatii dhugumaan ni duuna!” jedhe.
And Manoah says to his wife, “We certainly die, for we have seen God.”
23 Niitiin isaa garuu deebiftee akkana jetteen; “Waaqayyo utuu nu ajjeesuu barbaadee silaa aarsaa gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii nu harkaa hin fudhatu ture; waan kana hundumas nutti hin argisiisu yookaan waan kana amma nutti hin himu ture.”
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 Dubartiin sun ilma deesse; Saamsoon jettees isa moggaafte. Innis ni guddate; Waaqayyos isa eebbise.
And the woman bears a son, and calls his name Samson, and the youth grows, and YHWH blesses him,
25 Hafuurri Waaqayyoos yeroo inni Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼol gidduu qubata Daan keessa turetti isa kakaasu jalqabe.
and the Spirit of YHWH begins to move him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
