Книга Судей израилевых 13
1 И приложиша еще сынове Израилевы творити зло пред Господем: и предаде я Господь в руку Филистимску четыредесять лет.
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 И бяше муж един от Сараи, от племене Данова, имя же ему Маное: и жена ему бяше неплоды и не раждаше.
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bare not.
3 И явися Ангел Господень к жене и рече к ней: се, ты неплоды и не раждала еси, и зачнеши и родиши сына:
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 и ныне блюдися, и не пий вина и сикера, и не яждь всякаго нечистаго:
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing: ]
5 яко се, ты во утробе приимеши и родиши сына: и железо на главу его не взыдет, яко назорей Богови будет сие отроча от чрева: и сей начнет спасати Израиля из руки Филистимли.
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6 И вниде жена и рече мужу своему, глаголющи: человек Божий прииде ко мне, и образ его яко образ Ангела Божия, страшен зело: и вопрошах его, откуду еси? И имене своего не поведа ми,
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither told he me his name:
7 и рече мне: се, ты во утробе зачнеши и родиши сына: и ныне не пий вина, ни сикера, и не яждь всякаго нечистаго, яко назорей Богу будет отрочищь от утробы даже до дне смерти своея.
But he said unto 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 the womb to the day of his death.
8 И помолися Маное ко Господу и рече: во мне, Господи, человек Божий, егоже послал еси, да приидет еще к нам и наставит ны, что сотворим отрочати раждающемуся.
Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9 И послуша Бог молитвы Маноевы: и прииде паки Ангел Божий к жене, сия же седяше на селе, и Маное муж ея не бяше с нею.
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband [was] not with her.
10 И потщася жена, и текши скоро поведа мужу своему, и рече к нему: се, явися мне муж, иже приходил в день он ко мне.
And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day.
11 И востав иде Маное вслед жены своея, и прииде к мужу и рече ему: ты ли еси муж глаголавый к жене (моей)? И рече Ангел: аз.
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, [Art] thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I [am].
12 И рече Маное: ныне убо да приидет слово твое, кий будет суд отрочате, и что дела его?
And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?
13 И рече Ангел Господень к Маною: от всех, яже глаголах к жене, да сохранится:
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14 от всего, еже исходит из винограда, да не яст, и вина и сикера да не пиет, и всякаго нечистаго да не яст: и вся, елика заповедах ей, да хранит.
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 И рече Маное ко Ангелу Господню: да удержим тя зде, и сотворим пред тобою козлище от коз.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16 И рече Ангел Господень к Маною: аще мя понудиши, не буду ясти хлеба твоего: но аще сотвориши всесожжение Господеви, то вознеси е. Не ведяше бо Маное, яко Ангел Господень той.
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
17 И рече Маное ко Ангелу Господню: что имя твое? Да егда сбудется слово твое, прославим тя.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
18 И рече ему Ангел Господень: почто сие вопрошаеши имене моего? И то есть чудно.
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?
19 И взя Маное козлища от коз и жертву, и вознесе на камень Господеви чудная творящему: Маное же и жена его зряста.
So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered [it] upon a rock unto the LORD: and [the angel] did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20 И бысть егда пламень взыде выше олтаря даже до небесе, и взыде Ангел Господень в пламени олтаря: Маное же и жена его смотряста, и падоста лицем своим на землю.
For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward 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 И не приложи ктому Ангел Господень явитися Маною и жене его. Тогда уведе Маное, яко Ангел Господень есть.
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 И рече Маное к жене своей: смертию умрем, яко Бога видехом.
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23 И рече ему жена его: аще бы хотел Господь умертвити нас, не бы взял от рук наших всесожжения и жертвы, и не бы показал нам сих всех, и не бы слышана сия сотворил нам якоже ныне.
But his wife said unto 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 shewed us all these [things], nor would as at this time have told us [such things] as these.
24 И роди жена сына, и нарече имя ему Сампсон. И возмужа отроча, и благослови е Господь:
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25 и нача Дух Господень ходити с ним в полце Данове, посреде Сараи и посреде Есфаола.
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
