Abbootii Murtii 13

1 Israaʼeloonni ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; kanaafuu Waaqayyo waggaa afurtama dabarsee harka Filisxeemotaatti isaan kenne.

The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

2 Namicha gosa Daan keessaa dhalatee Zoraa jiraatu kan Maanoʼaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; niitiin isaas dhabduu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabne turte.

There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.

3 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos isheetti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Kunoo ati dhabduu ijoollee hin qabnee dha; garuu ulfooftee ilma deessa.

The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

4 Egaa ati akka daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne yookaan waan xuraaʼaa tokko illee hin nyaanne of eeggadhu;

Now therefore please be careful and drink no wine nor 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 look, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor will come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. And he shall begin 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.

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name,

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.”

but he said to me, 'Look, you shall conceive, and bear a son. And now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite 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.

Then Manoah pleaded with the LORD, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be 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.

God listened 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, wasn't with her.

10 Dubartittiinis dhirsa isheetti himuuf ariifattee, “Kunoo! Namichi guyyaa kaan natti mulʼate sun as jira!” jette.

The woman ran quickly, and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."

11 Maanoʼaanis kaʼee niitii isaa duukaa buʼe. Innis yommuu namicha bira gaʼetti, “Namni niitii kootti dubbate siʼii?” jedheen. Innis, “Anuma” jedhe.

Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He said, "I am."

12 Kanaafuu Maanoʼaan, “Yeroo dubbiin kee raawwatamutti seerri mucichi ittiin jiraatuu fi hojiin inni hojjetu maali?” jedhee isa gaafate.

Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"

13 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee deebise; “Niitiin kee waan ani itti hime hunda gochuu qabdi.

The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

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 may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. All that I have commanded her she is to observe."

15 Maanoʼaanis ergamaa Waaqayyootiin, “Hamma nu korbeessa reʼee xinnaa isaa siif qopheessinutti nuu turi” jedhe.

Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for 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.

The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.

17 Sana booddee Maanoʼaan ergamaa Waaqayyootiin, “Akka nu yeroo dubbiin ati dubbatte fiixaan baʼutti ulfina siif kenninuuf maqaan kee eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.

Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor you?"

18 Innis, “Ati maaliif maqaa koo gaafatta? Inni akka malee dinqii dha” jedheen.

And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? 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.

So Manoah took the young goat and a grain offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD, the LORD who works wonders. And Manoah and his wife looked 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.

For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

21 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo garuu deebiʼee Maanoʼaa fi niitii isaatti hin mulʼanne. Maanoʼaanis akka inni ergamaa Waaqayyoo taʼe beeke.

But the angel of the LORD did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.

22 Innis niitii isaatiin, “Nu Waaqa argineerraatii dhugumaan ni duuna!” jedhe.

Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because 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.”

But his wife said to him, "If the LORD meant to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from us, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would he have spoken to us now like this."

24 Dubartiin sun ilma deesse; Saamsoon jettees isa moggaafte. Innis ni guddate; Waaqayyos isa eebbise.

The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.

25 Hafuurri Waaqayyoos yeroo inni Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼol gidduu qubata Daan keessa turetti isa kakaasu jalqabe.

And the Spirit of the LORD began to direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
