< Waamuzi 13 >

1 Watu wa Israeli wakafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, naye akawatia mikononi mwa Wafilisti kwa miaka arobaini.
And eft the sones of Israel diden yuel in the `siyt of the Lord, which bitook hem in to the hondis of Filisteis fourti yeer.
2 Kulikuwa na mtu kutoka Sora, wa jamaa ya Wadani, jina lake Manoa. Mke wake hakuweza kupata mimba na hivyo hakuzaa.
Forsothe a man was of Saraa, and of the kynrede of Dan, `Manue bi name, and he hadde a bareyn wijf.
3 Malaika wa Bwana akamtokea yule mwanamke akamwambia, Tazame sasa, umeshindwa kupata mimba, wala hujazaa, lakini utakuwa na mimba na utazaa mtoto.
To `which wijf an aungel of the Lord apperide, and seide to hir, Thou art bareyn, and with out fre children; but thou schalt conseyue, and schalt bere a sone.
4 Sasa kuwa makini usinywe divai au kileo, wala usile kitu chochote kilicho najisi.
Therfor be thou war, lest thou drynke wyn, and sydur, nethir ete thou ony vnclene thing;
5 Angalia, utakuwa na mjamzito na kuzaliwa mtoto mwanaume. Hakuna wembe itakayotumiwa juu ya kichwa chake, kwa kuwa mtoto atakuwa Mnaziri kwa Mungu kutoka tumboni, naye ataanza kuwaokoa Israeli kutoka mkono wa Wafilisti.
for thou schalt conceyue and schalt bere a sone, whos heed a rasour schal not towche; for he schal be a Nazarei of God fro his yong age, and fro the modris wombe; and he schal bigynne to delyuere Israel fro the hond of Filisteis.
6 Kisha mwanamke akaenda kumwambia mumewe, “Mtu wa Mungu alikuja kwangu, na kuonekana kwake kulikuwa kama malaika wa Mungu, wa kutisha sana. Sikumwuliza ametokea wapi, na hakuniambia jina lake.
And whanne sche hadde come to hir hosebonde, sche seide to hym, The man of God cam to me, and hadde an aungel cheer, and he was ful ferdful, `that is, worschipful `and reuerent; and whanne Y hadde axide hym, who he was, and fro whannus he cam, and bi what name he was clepid, he nolde seie to me;
7 Akaniambia, 'Tazama! Utakuwa mjamzito, na utazaa mtoto. Basi usinywe divai au kileo, wala usile chakula chochote ambacho sheria inasema kuwa si safi, kwa kuwa mtoto huyo atakuwa Mnaziri kwa Mungu tangu akipokuwa tumboni mwako mpaka siku ya kufa kwake.”
but he answeride this, Lo! thou schalt conseyue, and schalt bere a sone; be thou war, that thou drynke not wyn ne sidur, nether ete ony vncleene thing; for the child schal be a Nazarey, `that is, hooli of the Lord, fro his yonge age and fro the modris wombe `til to the dai of his deeth.
8 Ndipo Manoa akamwomba Bwana, akasema, Ee Bwana, tafadhali mruhusu mtu wa Mungu uliyemtuma arudi kwetu ili atufundishe kile tutakachotendea kwa mtoto atakayezaliwa hivi karibuni.
Therfor Manue preide the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, that the man of God, whom thou sentist, come eft, and teche vs, what we owen to do of the child, that schal be borun.
9 Mungu akajibu sala ya Manoa, na malaika wa Mungu akamwendea mwanamke tena akiwa ameketi shambani. Lakini Manoa mumewe hakuwa pamoja naye.
And the Lord herde Manue preiynge; and the aungel of the Lord apperide eft to his wijf sittynge in the feeld; forsothe Manue, hir hosebonde, was not with hir. And whanne sche hadde seyn the aungel,
10 Basi mwanamke akakimbia haraka akamwambia mumewe, “Tazama! Yule mtu ameonekana kwangu-aliyekuja kwangu siku ile!”
sche hastide, and ran to hir hosebonde, and telde to hym, and seide, Lo! the man whom Y siy bifore, apperide to me.
11 Manoa akasimama na kumfuata mkewe. Alipofika kwa mtu huyo, akasema, “Je, wewe ndiwe mtu aliyezungumza na mke wangu?'” Mtu huyo akasema, “Ni mimi.”
Which roos, and suede his wijf; and he cam to the man, and seide to hym, Art thou he, that hast spoke to the womman? And he answeride, Y am.
12 Manoa akasema, Sasa maneno yako yatimike. Je! kuna maagizo gani kwa ajili ya mtoto, na kazi yake itakuwa nini? '
To whom Manue seide, Whanne thi word schal be fillid, what wolt thou, that the child do, ethir fro what thing schal he kepe hym silf?
13 Malaika wa Bwana akamwambia Manoa, 'Lazima mkeo afanye kila kitu nilichomwambia.
And the `aungel of the Lord seide to Manue, Absteyne he hym silf fro alle thingis which Y spak to thi wijf.
14 Asile kitu chochote kinachotokana na mizabibu, wala usimruhusu kunywa divai au kileo; usimruhusu ale chakula chochote ambacho sheria inasema kuwa si safi. Anapaswa kutii kila kitu nilichoamuru afanye.
And ete he not what euer thing cometh forth of the vyner, drynke he not wyn, and sidur, ete he not ony vncleene thing and fille he; and kepe that, that Y comaundide to hym.
15 Manoa akamwambia malaika wa Bwana, Tafadhali keti kwa muda, utupe wakati wa kuandaa mbuzi kwa ajili yako.
Therfor Manue seide to the `aungel of the Lord, Y biseche, that thou assente to my preieris, and we aray to thee a `kide of the geet.
16 Malaika wa Bwana akamwambia Manowa, Hata kama nitakaa, sitakula chakula chako. Lakini ukitayarisha sadaka ya kuteketezwa, toa kwa Bwana. ' (Manowa hakujua kwamba alikuwa malaika wa Bwana.)
To whom the aungel of the Lord answeride, Thouy thou constreynest me, Y schal not ete thi looues; forsothe if thou wolt make brent sacrifice, offre thou it to the Lord. And Manue wiste not, that it was `an aungel of the Lord.
17 Manoa akamwambia malaika wa Bwana, Jina lako ni nani, ili tukuheshimu wakati maneno yako yatakapotimia?
And Manue seide to hym, What name is to thee, that if thi word be fillid, we onoure thee?
18 Malaika wa Bwana akamwambia, Mbona unauliza jina langu? Ni ajabu! '
To whom he answeride, Whi axist thou my name, which is wondurful?
19 Manoa akamchukua huyo mbuzi pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka, akatoa sadaka juu ya mwamba kwa Bwana. Alifanya jambo la ajabu wakati Manoah na mke wake walikuwa wakiangalia.
Therfor Manue took a `kide of the geet, and fletynge sacrifices, and puttide on the stoon, and offryde to the Lord that doith wondirful thingis. Forsothe he and his wijf bihelden.
20 Wakati huo moto ukatoka juu ya madhabahu kwenda mbinguni, malaika wa Bwana akapanda katika moto wa madhabahu. Manoah na mkewe waliona jambo hilo wakainamisha vichwa vyao chini.
And whanne the flawme of the auter stiede in to heuene, the aungel of the Lord stiede togidere in the flawme. And whanne Manue and his wijf hadden seyn this, thei felden lowe to erthe.
21 malaika wa Bwana hakuonekana tena kwa Manoa au mkewe. Manoa akajua kwamba yule ndiye malaika wa Bwana.
And the aungel of the Lord apperide no more to hem. And anoon Manue vndurstood, that he was an aungel of the Lord.
22 Manoa akamwambia mkewe, 'Hakika tutakufa, kwa sababu tumemwona Mungu!'
And he seide to his wijf, We schulen die bi deeth, for we sien the Lord.
23 Lakini mkewe akamwambia, Ikiwa Bwana alitaka kutuua, asingepokea sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya nafaka tuliyompa. Asingetuonesha mambo haya yote, wala wakati huu asingeweza kuturuhusu tusikie mambo hayo.
To whom the womman answeride, If the Lord wolde sle vs, he schulde not haue take of oure hondis brent sacrifices, and moiste sacrifices, but nether he schulde haue schewid alle thingis to vs, nether `he schulde haue seid tho thingis, that schulen come.
24 Baadaye mwanamke akamzaa mtoto, akamwita jina lake Samsoni. Mtoto alikua na Bwana akambariki.
Therfor sche childide a sone, and clepide his name Sampson; and the child encreesside, and the Lord blesside hym.
25 Roho wa Bwana akaanza kumchochea Mahane Dani, kati ya Sora na Eshtaoli.
And the spirit of the Lord bigan to be with hym in the castels of Dan, bitwixe Saraa and Escahol.
