Jueces 13

1 Y los hijos de Israel tornaron a hacer lo malo en los ojos de Jehová, y Jehová los entregó en mano de los Filisteos cuarenta años.

And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.

2 Y había un hombre de Saraa de la tribu de Dan, el cual se llamaba Manue; y su mujer era estéril que nunca había parido.

And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not.

3 A esta mujer se apareció el ángel de Jehová, y díjole: He aquí que tú eres estéril, y no has parido; mas concebirás, y parirás un hijo.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, you are barren and have not born; yet you shall conceive a son.

4 Ahora por tanto, mira ahora que no bebas vino, ni sidra, ni comas cosa inmunda:

And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;

5 Porque tú concebirás, y parirás un hijo: y no subirá navaja sobre su cabeza; porque aquel niño Nazareo será de Dios desde el vientre; y él comenzará a salvar a Israel de mano de los Filisteos.

for behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.

6 Y la mujer vino, y contólo a su marido, diciendo: Un varón de Dios vino a mí, cuyo parecer era como parecer de un ángel de Dios, terrible en gran manera, y no le pregunté de donde ni quién era, ni tampoco él me dijo su nombre.

And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance [was as] of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.

7 Y díjome: He aquí que tú concebirás, y parirás un hijo: por tanto ahora no bebas vino ni sidra, ni comas cosa inmunda; porque este niño desde el vientre será Nazareo de Dios hasta el día de su muerte.

And he said to me, Behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.

8 Y oró Manue a Jehová, y dijo: Ay, Señor mío, yo te ruego que aquel varón de Dios, que enviaste, torne ahora a venir a nosotros, y nos enseñe lo que hayamos de hacer con el niño que ha de nacer.

And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray you, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom you sent; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.

9 Y Dios oyó la voz de Manue, y el ángel de Dios volvió otra vez a la mujer estando ella en el campo: mas su marido Manue no estaba con ella.

And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.

10 Y la mujer corrió presto, y díjolo a su marido, diciéndole: He aquí que aquel varón que vino hoy a mí, me ha aparecido.

And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in [the other] day to me has appeared to me.

11 Y levantóse Manue, y siguió a su mujer: y después que llegó al varón, díjole: ¿Eres tú aquel varón que hablaste a esta mujer? Y él dijo: Yo soy.

And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].

12 Entonces Manue dijo: Cúmplase pues tu palabra: ¿qué orden se tendrá con el niño, y qué ha de hacer?

And Manoe said, Now shall [your] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?

13 Y el ángel de Jehová respondió a Manue: La mujer se guardará de todas las cosas que yo le dije.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.

14 Ella no comerá cosa que salga de vid que lleve vino: no beberá vino, ni sidra: y no comerá cosa inmunda: finalmente, guardará todo lo que le mandé.

She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.

15 Entonces Manue dijo al ángel de Jehová: Ruégote que te detengamos, y aparejaremos delante de ti un cabrito de las cabras.

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain you here, and prepare before you a kid of the goats.

16 Y el ángel de Jehová respondió a Manue: Aunque me detengas, no comeré de tu pan; mas si quisieres hacer holocausto, sacrifícalo a Jehová. Y Manue no sabía que aquel fuese ángel de Jehová.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If you should detain me, I will not eat of your bread; and if you would offer a whole burnt offering, to the Lord you shall offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.

17 Y Manue dijo al ángel de Jehová: ¿Cómo es tu nombre, porque cuando tu palabra se cumpliere, te honremos?

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] your name, that [when] your word shall come to pass, we may glorify you?

18 Y el ángel de Jehová respondió: ¿Por qué preguntas por mi nombre, que es oculto?

And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?

19 Y Manue tomó un cabrito de las cabras, y un presente, y sacrificó sobre una peña a Jehová: e hizo milagro a vista de Manue y de su mujer.

And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and [the angel] wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.

20 Porque aconteció, que como la llama subía del altar hacia el cielo, el ángel de Jehová subió en la llama del altar a vista de Manue y de su mujer, los cuales se postraron en tierra sobre sus rostros.

And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.

21 Y el ángel de Jehová no tornó a aparecer a Manue ni a su mujer. Entonces conoció Manue que era el ángel de Jehová.

And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.

22 Y dijo Manue a su mujer: Ciertamente moriremos, porque a Dios habemos visto.

And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

23 Y su mujer le respondió: Si Jehová nos quisiera matar, no tomara de nuestras manos el holocausto y el presente, ni nos hubiera mostrado todas estas cosas, ni según el tiempo nos hubiera anunciado esto.

But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received of our hand a whole burnt offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shown us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things

24 Y la mujer parió un hijo, y llamóle por nombre Samsón. Y el niño creció, y Jehová le bendijo.

And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.

25 Y el Espíritu de Jehová le comenzó a tomar por veces en Mahane-Dan, entre Saraa y Estaol.

And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
