Книга Судей израилевых 13
1 И приложиша еще сынове Израилевы творити зло пред Господем: и предаде я Господь в руку Филистимску четыредесять лет.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight; and Yahweh 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.
There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
3 И явися Ангел Господень к жене и рече к ней: се, ты неплоды и не раждала еси, и зачнеши и родиши сына:
Yahweh’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 и ныне блюдися, и не пий вина и сикера, и не яждь всякаго нечистаго:
Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat 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, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save 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 to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell 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 to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite 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 entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who 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.
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 И потщася жена, и текши скоро поведа мужу своему, и рече к нему: се, явися мне муж, иже приходил в день он ко мне.
The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
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.
Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
12 И рече Маное: ныне убо да приидет слово твое, кий будет суд отрочате, и что дела его?
Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
13 И рече Ангел Господень к Маною: от всех, яже глаголах к жене, да сохранится:
Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to 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 anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
15 И рече Маное ко Ангелу Господню: да удержим тя зде, и сотворим пред тобою козлище от коз.
Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
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.
Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.
17 И рече Маное ко Ангелу Господню: что имя твое? Да егда сбудется слово твое, прославим тя.
Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
18 И рече ему Ангел Господень: почто сие вопрошаеши имене моего? И то есть чудно.
Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
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 the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
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 when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; 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.
But Yahweh’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was Yahweh’s angel.
22 И рече Маное к жене своей: смертию умрем, яко Бога видехом.
Manoah said to 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 to him, “If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
24 И роди жена сына, и нарече имя ему Сампсон. И возмужа отроча, и благослови е Господь:
The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
25 и нача Дух Господень ходити с ним в полце Данове, посреде Сараи и посреде Есфаола.
Yahweh’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
