Mga Hukom 13

1 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay gumawa uli ng kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon; at ibinigay ng Panginoon sila na apat na pung taon sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.

And again, the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.

2 At may isang lalake sa Sora sa angkan ng mga Danita, na ang pangala'y Manoa; at ang kaniyang asawa ay baog, at hindi nagkaanak.

Now there was a certain man from Zorah, and of the stock of Dan, whose name was Manoah, having a barren wife.

3 At napakita ang anghel ng Panginoon sa babae, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, ikaw ay baog at hindi ka nagkakaanak: nguni't ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang lalake.

And an Angel of the Lord appeared to her, and he said: “You are barren and without children. But you shall conceive and bear a son.

4 Ngayon nga'y magingat ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at huwag kang uminom ng alak o ng inuming nakalalasing, at huwag kang kumain ng anomang maruming bagay:

Therefore, take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. Neither shall you eat anything unclean.

5 Sapagka't, narito, ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang lalake; at walang pangahit na daraan sa kaniyang ulo: sapagka't ang bata ay magiging Nazareo sa Dios, mula sa tiyan: at kaniyang pasisimulang iligtas ang Israel sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.

For you shall conceive and bear a son, whose head no razor shall touch. For he shall be a Nazirite of God, from his infancy and from his mother’s womb. And he shall begin to free Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”

6 Nang magkagayo'y ang babae'y yumaon at isinaysay sa kaniyang asawa, na sinasabi, Isang lalake ng Dios ay naparito sa akin, at ang kaniyang anyo ay gaya ng anyo ng anghel ng Dios, na kakilakilabot: at hindi ko natanong siya kung siya'y taga saan, ni kaya'y sinaysay niya sa akin ang kaniyang pangalan:

And when she had gone to her husband, she said to him: “A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an Angel, exceedingly terrible. And when I had inquired of him, who he was, and where he was from, and what name he was called, he was not willing to tell me.

7 Nguni't sinabi niya sa akin, Narito, ikaw ay maglilihi, at manganganak ng isang lalake; at ngayo'y huwag kang uminom ng alak o ng inuming nakalalasing man, at huwag kang kumain ng anomang maruming bagay: sapagka't ang bata'y magiging Nazareo sa Dios mula sa tiyan hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan.

But he responded: ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. And you shall not consume anything unclean. For the boy shall be a Nazirite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb, even until the day of his death.’”

8 Nang magkagayo'y nanalangin si Manoa sa Panginoon, at sinabi niya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, Oh Panginoon, na pabalikin mo uli ang lalake ng Dios na iyong sinugo sa amin, at ituro sa amin kung ano ang aming gagawin sa bata na ipanganganak.

And so Manoah prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you Lord, that the man of God, whom you sent, may come again, and may teach us what we ought to do about the boy who is to be born.”

9 At dininig ng Dios ang tinig ni Manoa; at nagbalik ang anghel ng Dios sa babae habang siya'y nakaupo sa bukid: nguni't si Manoa na kaniyang asawa ay hindi niya kasama.

And the Lord heeded the prayer of Manoah, and the Angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, sitting in a field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. And when she had seen the Angel,

10 At nagmadali ang babae, at tumakbo, at isinaysay sa kaniyang asawa, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, ang lalake ay napakita sa akin, yaong naparito sa akin ng ibang araw.

she hurried and ran to her husband. And she reported to him, saying, “Behold, the man appeared to me, whom I had seen before.”

11 At bumangon si Manoa, at sumunod sa kaniyang asawa, at naparoon sa lalake, at sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw ba ang lalake na nagsalita sa babaing ito? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako nga.

And he rose up and followed his wife. And going to the man, he said to him, “Are you the one who spoke to my wife?” And he responded, “I am.”

12 At sinabi ni Manoa, Mano nawa'y mangyari ang iyong mga salita: ano ang ipagpapagawa sa bata, at paanong aming gagawin sa kaniya?

And Manoah said to him: “When will your word be fulfilled. What do you want the boy to do? Or from what should he keep himself?”

13 At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa, Sa lahat ng aking sinabi sa babae ay magingat siya.

And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah: “Concerning all the things about which I have spoken to your wife, she herself should abstain.

14 Siya'y hindi makakakain ng anomang bagay na nanggagaling sa ubasan, ni uminom man lamang ng alak ni ng inuming nakalalasing, ni kumain man ng anomang maruming bagay; lahat ng iniutos ko sa kaniya ay sundin niya.

And let her eat nothing from the vine. She may not drink wine or strong drink. She may consume nothing unclean. And let her observe and keep what I have instructed to her.”

15 At sinabi ni Manoa sa anghel ng Panginoon, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na ikaw ay aming mapigil, upang maipagluto ka namin ng isang anak ng kambing.

And Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “I beg you to agree to my petition, and to let us prepare a kid from the goats.”

16 At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa, Bagaman ako'y iyong pigilin, hindi ako kakain ng iyong pagkain: at kung ikaw ay maghahanda ng handog na susunugin, ay iyong nararapat ihandog sa Panginoon. Sapagka't hindi naalaman ni Manoa na siya'y anghel ng Panginoon.

And the Angel answered him: “Even if you compel me, I will not eat from your bread. But if you are willing to offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord.” And Manoah did not know that he was an Angel of the Lord.

17 At sinabi ni Manoa sa anghel ng Panginoon, Ano ang iyong pangalan, upang pangyayari ng iyong mga salita ay mabigyan ka namin ng karangalan?

And he said to him, “What is your name, so that, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?”

18 At sinabi ng anghel ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Bakit mo itinatanong ang aking pangalan, dangang kagilagilalas?

And he answered him, “Why do you ask my name, which is a wonder?”

19 Sa gayo'y kumuha si Manoa ng isang anak ng kambing pati ng handog na harina, at inihandog sa Panginoon sa ibabaw ng bato: at gumawa ng kamanghamangha ang anghel, at minasdan ni Manoa at ng kaniyang asawa.

And so, Manoah took a kid from the goats, and libations, and he placed them upon a rock, as an offering to the Lord, who accomplishes wonders. Then he and his wife watched.

20 Sapagka't nangyari, nang umilanglang sa langit ang alab mula sa dambana, na ang anghel ng Panginoon ay napailanglang sa alab ng dambana: at minasdan ni Manoa at ng kaniyang asawa; at sila'y nangapasubasob sa lupa.

And when the flame of the altar ascended to heaven, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they fell prone on the ground.

21 Nguni't hindi na napakita ang anghel ng Panginoon kay Manoa o sa kaniyang asawa. Nang magkagayo'y naalaman ni Manoa na siya'y anghel ng Panginoon.

And the Angel of the Lord no longer appeared to them. And immediately, Manoah understood him to be an Angel of the Lord.

22 At sinabi ni Manoa sa kaniyang asawa, Walang pagsalang tayo'y mamamatay, sapagka't ating nakita ang Dios.

And he said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, since we have seen God.”

23 Nguni't sinabi ng asawa niya sa kaniya, Kung nalulugod ang Panginoon na patayin tayo, hindi sana niya tinanggap ang handog na sinunog at ang handog na harina sa ating kamay, ni ipinakita man sa atin ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ni nasaysay man sa panahong ito, ang mga bagay na gaya nito.

And his wife answered him, “If the Lord wished to kill us, he would not have accepted the holocaust and the libations from our hands. He would not have revealed all these things to us, nor would he have told us the things that are in the future.”

24 At nanganak ang babae ng isang lalake, at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalan na Samson. At ang bata'y lumaki, at pinagpala ng Panginoon.

And so she bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.

25 At pinasimulang kinilos siya ng Espiritu ng Panginoon sa Mahanedan, sa pagitan ng Sora at Esthaol.

And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
