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 again the evil in the eyes 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 Zor'ah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoach; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.
3 И явися Ангел Господень к жене и рече к ней: се, ты неплоды и не раждала еси, и зачнеши и родиши сына:
And there appeared an angel of the Lord unto the woman, and he said unto her, Behold, thou art barren, and hast not born; but thou wilt conceive, and bear a son.
4 и ныне блюдися, и не пий вина и сикера, и не яждь всякаго нечистаго:
And now do beware, and drink neither wine nor strong drink, and eat not any thing unclean.
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 wilt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for a Nazarite of God shall the lad be 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,
And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I asked him not whence he might be, and his name he did not tell me.
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.
And he said unto me, Behold, thou wilt conceive, and bear a son; and now thou must drink neither wine nor strong drink, and not eat anything unclean; for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb until 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.
And Manoach entreated the Lord, and said, Hear me, O Lord, let the man of God, whom thou didst send, come again unto us, and instruct us what we shall do unto the child that is to 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 Manoach; and the angel of God came again unto the woman, as she was sitting in the field; and Manoach 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 informed her husband; and she said unto him, Behold, there hath appeared unto me the man, 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 Manoach arose, and went after his wife; and he came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spokest 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 Manoach said, If now thy words come to pass, what shall be [our] proceeding with the child, and what shall be done 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 Manoach, Of all that I have said unto the woman must she 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.
Of any thing that cometh of the grape-vine she may not eat, and wine or strong drink she may not drink, and any thing unclean she may not eat: all that I commanded her must she observe.
15 И рече Маное ко Ангелу Господню: да удержим тя зде, и сотворим пред тобою козлище от коз.
And Manoach said unto the angel of the Lord, Let us, I pray thee, detain thee, and we will make a kid ready 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 Manoach, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; but if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord; for Manoach 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 Manoach said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that, when thy word cometh to pass, we may do thee honor?
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 is it that thou wilt ask 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.
And Manoach took the kid and the meat-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the Lord: and he did wondrously; and Manoach 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.
And it came to pass, when the flame went up from off the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoach and his wife looked on, and they 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.
And the angel of the Lord was no longer visible to Manoach and to his wife: then knew Manoach that he was an angel of the Lord.
22 И рече Маное к жене своей: смертию умрем, яко Бога видехом.
And Manoach said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because a divine being have we seen.
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 from our hand a burnt-offering and a meat-offering, nor would he have let us see all these things, and at this time he would not have let us hear [such a thing] as this.
24 И роди жена сына, и нарече имя ему Сампсон. И возмужа отроча, и благослови е Господь:
And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the child grew up, 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 in Machaneh-dan between Zor'ah and Eshtaol.
