Sudije 13

1 A sinovi Izrailjevi opet èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Filistejima za èetrdeset godina.

And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —so Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of the Philistines, forty years.

2 A bijaše jedan èovjek od Saraje od plemena sinova Danovijeh, po imenu Manoje, i žena mu bješe nerotkinja, i ne raðaše.

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, and, his name, was Manoah; and, his wife, was barren, and had borne no child.

3 Toj ženi javi se anðeo Gospodnji i reèe joj: gle, ti si sad nerotkinja, i nijesi raðala; ali æeš zatrudnjeti i rodiæeš sina.

And the messenger of Yahweh appeared unto the woman, —and said unto her—Lo! I pray thee, thou, art barren, and hast borne no child, but thou shalt conceive, and shalt bear a son.

4 Nego sada èuvaj se da ne piješ vina ni silovita piæa, i da ne jedeš ništa neèisto.

Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and do not drink wine or strong drink, —nor eat anything unclean;

5 Jer gle, zatrudnjeæeš, i rodiæeš sina, i britva da ne prijeðe po njegovoj glavi, jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine, i on æe poèeti izbavljati Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih.

for lo! thou, art about to conceive and bear a son, and no, razor, shall come on his head, for, one separate unto God, shall the boy be from his birth, —and, he, shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

6 I žena doðe i reèe mužu svojemu govoreæi: èovjek Božji doðe k meni, i lice mu bijaše kao lice anðela Božijega, vrlo strašno; ali ga ne zapitah odakle je, niti mi on kaza svojega imena.

So the woman came in, and told her husband, saying, A man of God, came unto me, and, his, appearance, was as the appearance of the messenger of God, reverend exceedingly, —and I asked him not whence he was, and, his name, he told me not.

7 Nego mi reèe: gle, ti æeš zatrudnjeti, i rodiæeš sina; zato sada ne pij vina ni silovita piæa i ne jedi ništa neèisto; jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine pa do smrti.

But he said unto me, Lo! thou art about to conceive, and bear a son, —now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean, for, one separate unto God, shall the boy be, from his birth until the day of his death.

8 Tada se Manoje pomoli Gospodu i reèe: o Gospode! neka opet doðe k nama èovjek Božji, kojega si slao, da nas nauèi šta æemo èiniti s djetetom, kad se rodi.

Then Manoah made entreaty unto Yahweh, and said: Pardon, O My Lord! the man of God whom thou didst send, I pray thee, let him come again unto us, that he may teach us what we are to do, unto the boy that is to be born.

9 I usliši Gospod glas Manojev; i doðe opet anðeo Gospodnji k ženi kad sjeðaše u polju; a Manoje muž njezin ne bješe kod nje.

And God hearkened unto the voice of Manoah, —and the messenger of God came again unto the woman, as, she, was sitting in the field, Manoah her husband, not being with her.

10 Tada žena brže otrèa i javi mužu svojemu govoreæi mu: evo, javi mi se onaj èovjek, koji mi je prije dolazio.

So the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, —and said unto him, Lo! the man, hath appeared unto me, who came the other day unto me.

11 A Manoje ustavši poðe sa ženom svojom; i kad doðe k èovjeku, reèe mu: jesi li ti onaj èovjek što je govorio ovoj ženi? On odgovori: jesam.

Then Manoah arose, and followed his wife, —and came unto the man, and said unto him—Art, thou, the man that spake unto the wife? And he said—I am.

12 A Manoje reèe: kad bude što si kazao, kako æe biti pravilo za dijete i šta æe èiniti s njim?

And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass, —What shall be the rule for the boy, and his work?

13 A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Manoju: žena neka se èuva od svega što sam joj kazao.

And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah, —Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware.

14 Neka ne jede ništa što dolazi s vinove loze, i vina ni silovita piæa neka ne pije, i ništa neèisto neka ne jede. Što sam joj zapovjedio sve neka drži.

Of nothing that cometh of the vine, may she eat, nor wine nor strong drink, let her drink, nor, anything unclean, let her eat, —all that I commanded her, let her observe.

15 Tada reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: radi bismo te ustaviti da ti zgotovimo jare.

And Manoah said unto the messenger of Yahweh, —I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready for thy presence, a kid.

16 A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori Manoju: da me i ustaviš, neæu jesti tvojega jela; nego ako hoæeš zgotoviti žrtvu paljenicu, prinesi je Gospodu. Jer Manoje nije znao da je anðeo Gospodnji.

But the messenger of Yahweh said unto Manoah—Though thou detain me, yet will I not eat of thy food, and, though thou make ready an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh, must thou cause it to ascend. For Manoah had not discerned that, the angel of Yahweh, he was.

17 Opet reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: kako ti je ime? da ti zahvalimo kad se zbude što si rekao.

Then said Manoah unto the messenger of Yahweh, What is thy name, —that, when thy word cometh to pass, we may do thee honour?

18 A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori mu: što pitaš za ime moje? Èudno je.

And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore is it, that thou shouldst ask after my name, —seeing that, it, is Wonderful?

19 Tada Manoje uze jare i dar, i prinese Gospodu na stijeni; a anðeo uèini èudo pred Manojem i ženom njegovom;

So Manoah took the kid, and the meal-offering, and caused them to ascend upon the rock unto Yahweh, who was about to do, wondrously, while Manoah and his wife were looking on.

20 Jer kad se podiže plamen s oltara k nebu, anðeo Gospodnji podiže se u plamenu s oltara; a Manoje i žena njegova videæi to padoše nièice na zemlju;

And it came to pass, when the flame ascended from off the altar, towards the heavens, that the messenger of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar, —while Manoah and his wife were looking on. Then fell they on their faces, to the earth.

21 I anðeo se Gospodnji ne javi više Manoju ni ženi njegovoj. Tada Manoje razumje da je anðeo Gospodnji.

And the messenger of Yahweh did no more appear unto Manoah or unto his wife. Then, Manoah knew that, the messenger of Yahweh, he was.

22 I reèe Manoje ženi svojoj: zacijelo æemo umrijeti, jer vidjesmo Boga.

And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall, die, —for, upon God, have we looked.

23 A žena mu reèe: kad bi htio Bog da nas ubije, ne bi primio iz naših ruku žrtve paljenice ni dara, niti bi nam pokazao svega ovoga, niti bi nam sad objavio takih stvari.

But his wife said unto him, If Yahweh had been pleased to put us to death, he would not have received at our hand, an ascending-sacrifice and a meal-offering, nor would he have shewed us all these things, —and, at such a time, have let us hear the like of this!

24 I tako ta žena rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samson; i dete odraste, i Gospod ga blagoslovi.

So the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson, —and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.

25 I duh Gospodnji poèe hoditi s njim po okolu Danovu, izmeðu Saraje i Estaola.

And the spirit of Yahweh began to urge him to and fro, in the camp of Dan, —between Zorah and Eshtaol.
