Xaakinnada 13
1 Reer binu Israa'iilna waxay haddana sameeyeen wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku xun, markaasaa Rabbigu gacanta u geliyey reer Falastiin intii afartan sannadood ah.
Again the Israeli people did things that Yahweh said were very evil. So Yahweh enabled the people of Philistia to conquer them. They ruled over the Israelis for 40 years.
2 Oo waxaa jiray nin reer Sorcaah ah, oo jilibkiisuna ahaa reer Daan, magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Maanoo'ax, oo naagtiisuna madhalays bay ahayd, oo ma ay dhali jirin.
There was a man named Manoah from the descendants of Dan who lived in Zorah [town]. His wife was unable to become pregnant, so they had no children.
3 Markaasay malaa'igtii Rabbigu naagtii u muuqatay, oo ku tidhi, Bal eeg, haatan waxaad tahay madhalays, oo waxba ma aad dhashid; laakiinse waad uuraysan doontaa, oo waxaad dhali doontaa wiil.
One day, Yahweh appeared to Manoah’s wife in the form of an angel, and said to her, “Even though you have not been able to give birth to any children until now, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son.
4 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed iska jir, oo waan ku baryayaaye ha cabbin khamri ama wax kale oo lagu sakhraamo, oo wax aan nadiif ahaynna ha cunin;
[From now until he is born], you must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink, and you must not eat any food that will make you unacceptable to God.
5 waayo, bal eeg, waad uuraysan doontaa, oo waxaad dhali doontaa wiil, oo madaxiisana waa inaan mandiil la marin; waayo ilmuhu markuu dhasho iyo inta ka dambaysaba wuxuu noqon doonaa Nadiir Ilaah loo soocay; oo isagu wuxuu bilaabi doonaa inuu reer binu Israa'iil ka badbaadiyo gacanta reer Falastiin.
After you give birth to your son, you must never allow his hair to be cut. He must be dedicated to God from the day he is born until the day he dies. He is the one who will rescue [many of] the Israeli people from the people of Philistia.”
6 Markaasaa naagtii timid oo ninkeedii u sheegtay, oo ku tidhi, Nin Ilaah baa ii yimid, jaahiisuna wuxuu u ekaa jaahii malaa'igta Ilaah oo aad looga cabsado. Anna ma aan weyddiin meeshuu ka yimid, isna iima uu sheegin magiciisa;
The woman ran and told her husband, “A prophet came to me. He looked awesome, like an angel from God. I did not ask where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
7 laakiinse wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg, waad uuraysan doontaa, oo waxaad dhali doontaa wiil; oo haddaba ha cabbin khamri ama wax kale oo lagu sakhraamo; wax aan nadiif ahaynna ha cunin; waayo, ilmuhu markuu dhasho iyo ilaa maalinta dhimashadiisa wuxuu noqon doonaa Nadiir Ilaah loo soocay.
But he told me, ‘You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. Until then, you must not drink any wine or any alcoholic/fermented drink, and you must not eat any food that would make you unacceptable to God. Your son must be dedicated to God from the day he is born until the day he dies.’”
8 Markaasuu Maanoo'ax Rabbiga baryay oo yidhi, Sayidow, waan ku baryayaaye, ninkii Ilaah oo aad soo dirtay, mar kale ha noo yimaado, oo ha na baro waxa aannu ku samayn lahayn wiilka dhalan doona.
Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh, saying, “O Yahweh, I plead with you, allow that prophet whom you sent to us to come again, and teach us how we should raise the boy who will be born to us.”
9 Ilaahna codkii Maanoo'ax wuu maqlay, oo malaa'igtii Ilaahna naagtii bay mar kale u timid iyadoo berrinka fadhida; laakiinse Maanoo'ax oo ahaa ninkeedii lama uu joogin iyada.
God did what Manoah asked, and Yahweh again appeared to his wife in the form of an angel, while she was out in the field. But again her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 Markaasay naagtii dhaqsatay oo orodday, oo ninkeeday u sheegtay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Bal eeg, waxaa ii muuqday ninkii maalintii ii yimid.
So she quickly ran and said to her husband, “The man who appeared to me a few days ago has come back again!”
11 Markaasuu Maanoo'ax kacay, oo naagtiisii raacay, oo wuxuu u yimid ninkii, kolkaasuu ku yidhi, Ma waxaad tahay ninkii la hadlay naagta? Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waan ahay.
Manoah ran back with his wife, and asked, “Are you the man who talked with my wife a few days ago?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
12 Markaasuu Maanoo'ax yidhi, Haddaba markii sidaad tidhi ay rumowdo, wiilku caynkee buu noqon doonaa, shuqulkiisuna muxuu ahaan doonaa?
Manoah asked him, “When what you promised occurs [and my wife gives birth to a son], what rules must he obey, and what work will he do [when he grows up]?”
13 Markaasay malaa'igtii Rabbigu Maanoo'ax ku tidhi, Kulli wixii aan u sheegay oo dhan naagtu ha iska jirto.
Yahweh replied, “Your wife must obey all the instructions I gave her.
14 Iyadu waa inaanay cunin wax ka soo baxa geedcanab, oo yaanay cabbin khamri ama wax kale oo lagu sakhraamo, oo wax aan nadiif ahaynna yaanay cunin; oo kulli wixii aan ku amray oo dhan ha dhawrto.
[Before the baby is born], she must not eat grapes, or drink wine or any other alcoholic/fermented drink, or eat anything that would make her unacceptable to God.”
15 Maanoo'axna wuxuu malaa'igtii Rabbiga ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, aan ku raajinno intii aannu orgi yar kuu diyaarinayno.
Then Manoah said, “Please stay here until we can kill and cook a young goat for you.”
16 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbiguna waxay Maanoo'ax ku tidhi, In kastoo aad i raajiso, anigu cuni maayo cuntadaada; oo haddaad diyaarisid allabari la gubo, waa inaad Rabbiga u bixisid. Waayo, Maanoo'ax ma uu ogayn inay malaa'igtii Rabbiga tahay.
Yahweh replied, “I will stay here, but I will not eat anything. However, you may kill an animal and sacrifice it as a burned offering to Yahweh.” (Manoah did not realize that the [man he thought was an] angel was really Yahweh.)
17 Markaasuu Maanoo'ax malaa'igtii Rabbiga ku yidhi, Magacaa, si markay erayadaadu ahaadaan, aannu kuu murwayno?
Then Manoah asked him, “What is your name? When what you have promised happens, we want to honor you.”
18 Malaa'igtii Rabbiguna waxay ku tidhi, Maxaad magacayga u haybsanaysaa, waaba yaabe?
Yahweh replied, “(Why do you ask me my name?/You should not ask me my name.) [RHQ] It is (wonderful/it cannot be understood).”
19 Sidaas daraaddeed Maanoo'ax wuxuu qaaday orgigii yaraa iyo qurbaankii hadhuudhka ahaa, oo dhagax dushiis buu Rabbiga ugu bixiyey; oo malaa'igtiina yaab bay samaysay, Maanoo'ax iyo afadiisiina way fiiriyeen.
Then Manoah killed a young goat and burned it on a rock, along with a grain offering, as a sacrifice to Yahweh. And Yahweh did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched.
20 Waayo, markii ololkii meesha allabariga ka kacay xagga samada, ayay malaa'igtii Rabbigu kor u raacday ololkii meesha allabariga; Maanoo'ax iyo afadiisiina way fiiriyeen; oo intay dhaceen ayay wejigoodii dhulka saareen.
Flames from the altar blazed up toward the sky, and Yahweh ascended in the flames. When Manoah and his wife saw that, they prostrated themselves on the ground.
21 Laakiinse malaa'igtii Rabbigu mar dambe uma ay muuqan Maanoo'ax iyo afadiisii. Markaasaa Maanoo'ax ogaaday inay ahayd malaa'igtii Rabbiga.
Although Yahweh did not appear in the form of an angel to Manoah and his wife again, Manoah realized that the [man they thought was an] angel was really Yahweh.
22 Oo Maanoo'axna wuxuu afadiisii ku yidhi, Hubaal waynu dhimanaynaa, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu aragnay Ilaah.
So he said, “Now we will die, because we have seen God!”
23 Laakiinse afadiisii waxay ku tidhi, Hadduu Rabbigu doonayo inuu ina dilo, inagama uu aqbaleen qurbaan la gubo iyo qurbaan hadhuudh ah, oo waxyaalahan oo dhanna inama uu tuseen, oo haatanna inooma uu sheegeen waxyaalo caynkan ah.
But his wife said, “No, we will not die, because if Yahweh intended to kill us, he would not have accepted the burned offering and the grain offering. And he would not have appeared to us and told us the wonderful thing that would happen to us, and he would not have performed this miracle.”
24 Oo naagtiina wiil bay dhashay, oo magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Samsoon; wiilkiina wuu koray, Ilaahna wuu barakeeyey isagii.
When their son was born, they named him Samson. Yahweh blessed him as he grew up.
25 Oo Ruuxii Rabbiguna wuxuu bilaabay inuu ku dhaqaajiyo Maxaneh Daan, oo u dhexaysa Sorcaah iyo Eshtaa'ool.
And while he was in Mahaneh-Dan, which is between Zorah and Eshtaol [towns], Yahweh’s Spirit began to control him.
