1 Bio, Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ deɛ ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, enti Awurade de wɔn hyɛɛ Filistifoɔ nsam ma wɔhyɛɛ wɔn so mfeɛ aduanan.
Aisraeli anachitanso zinthu zoyipira Yehova, kotero Yehova anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Afilisti kwa zaka makumi anayi.
2 Saa ɛberɛ no, ɔbarima bi tenaa Sora a ne din de Manoa a ɔfiri Dan abusuakuo mu. Na ne yere nnya awoɔ, enti na wɔnni mma.
Ku Zora kunali munthu wina dzina lake Manowa, wochokera ku fuko la Dani. Mkazi wake analibe ana popeza anali wosabereka.
3 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ yii ne ho kyerɛɛ Manoa yere kaa sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ wonnyaa awoɔ deɛ, nanso, ɛrenkyɛre worebɛnyinsɛn na woawo ɔbabarima.
Mngelo wa Yehova anaonekera mkaziyo ndipo anati, “Ndinu wosabereka ndipo mulibedi mwana, komabe mudzakhala ndi pakati ndipo mudzabereka mwana wamwamuna.
4 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wonom bobesa anaa nsã a ano yɛ den biara. Na nni biribiara nso a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ.
Tsono mudzisamale bwino, osamwa vinyo kapena chakumwa chilichonse choledzeretsa ndiponso musamadye chakudya chilichonse chodetsedwa,
5 Wobɛnyinsɛn na woawo ɔbabarima, na hwɛ sɛ oyiwan nka ne tire, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Nasareni a wɔayi no asi hɔ ama Onyankopɔn firi awoɔ mu. Ɔbɛgye Israel afiri Filistifoɔ nsam.”
chifukwa mudzakhala ndi pakati ndipo mudzabereka mwana wamwamuna. Mwanayo akadzabadwa lumo lisadzapite pa mutu chifukwa mnyamatayo adzakhala Mnaziri, ndiye kuti wopatulika kwa Mulungu kuyambira pa nthawi imene adzakhale ali mʼchiberekero. Ndipo adzayamba ntchito yopulumutsa Israeli mʼmanja mwa Afilisti.”
6 Ɔbaa no de mmirika kɔɔ ne kunu nkyɛn kɔbɔɔ no amaneɛ sɛ, “Onyankopɔn onipa bi yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me. Na ɔte sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ no mu baako a ne ho yɛ hu yie. Mammisa no baabi a ɔfiri baeɛ, na ɔno nso ammɔ ne din ankyerɛ me.
Kenaka mayiyo anapita kukawuza mwamuna wake kuti, “Munthu wa Mulungu anabwera kwa ine, ndipo maonekedwe ake anali ngati mngelo wa Mulungu, maonekedwe woopsa kwambiri. Ine sindinamufunse kumene amachokera, ndipo iyeyo sanandiwuzenso dzina lake.
7 Nanso, ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Wobɛnyinsɛn na woawo ɔbabarima. Enti nnom bobesa anaa nsã a ano yɛ den na nni biribiara a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ. Na wo babarima no bɛyɛ obi a wɔayi no asi hɔ ama Onyankopɔn sɛ Nasareni firi awoɔ mu kɔsi ɛberɛ a ɔbɛwu.’”
Koma anandiwuza kuti, ‘Mudzakhala ndi pakati ndipo mudzabereka mwana wamwamuna. Choncho musamamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa chilichonse choledzeretsa, musamadye chakudya chilichonse choyipitsidwa chifukwa mwanayo adzakhala Mnaziri, wopatulika kwa Mulungu kuyambira pa nthawi imene adzakhale ali mʼchiberekero mpaka tsiku la kufa kwake.’”
8 Na Manoa bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao Awurade, mesrɛ wo, ma Onyankopɔn onipa no nsane mmra yɛn nkyɛn na ɔmmɛkyerɛ yɛn nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛfa abarimaa a yɛbɛwo noɔ no ho.”
Kenaka Manowa anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti, “Chonde Ambuye, lolani munthu wa Mulungu amene munamutuma abwerenso kwa ife kuti adzatiphunzitse zochita ndi mwanayo akadzabadwa.”
9 Onyankopɔn tiee Manoa. Ɔbɔfoɔ no yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no bio wɔ ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ afuom. Nanso, na ne kunu Manoa nka ne ho wɔ hɔ.
Mulungu anamva pemphero la Manowa, ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu anabweranso kwa mkaziyo nthawi imene anali ku munda, koma Manowa mwamuna wake sanali naye.
10 Ɔbaa no yɛɛ ntɛm kɔbɔɔ ne kunu amaneɛ sɛ, “Ɔbarima a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me ɛda no no asane aba bio!”
Tsono mkaziyo anathamanga kukawuza mwamuna wake kuti, “Wandionekeranso munthu uja amene anabwera kwa ine tsiku lija.”
11 Manoa yɛɛ ntɛm dii ne yere akyi. Ɔduruu ɔbarima no ho no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wo na wokaa biribi kyerɛɛ me yere no anaa?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Aane, ɛyɛ me.”
Choncho Manowa ananyamuka namutsatira mkazi wake. Atafika kwa munthuyo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu munayankhula ndi mkazi wanga?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndine.”
12 Enti, Manoa bisaa no sɛ, “Sɛ nsɛm a woaka no ba mu a, mmara bɛn na ɛwɔ hɔ ma abarimaa no asetena ne nʼadwumayɛ?”
Kenaka Manowa anafunsa kuti, “Tiyerekeze kuti mawu anuwa akwaniritsidwadi, ndiye mwanayu azidzakhala bwanji ndipo azidzachita chiyani?”
13 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Hwɛ sɛ wo yere bɛdi nhyehyɛeɛ a mekyerɛɛ noɔ no so.
Ndipo mngelo wa Yehova uja anamuyankha kuti, “Zonse zimene ndinawawuza akazi anuwa asamale ndipo adzazichitedi.
14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔdi bobe anaa biribiara a ɛfiri bobe mu. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔnom bobesa anaa nsã a ano yɛ den. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔdi aduane biara a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ.”
Asadzadye chilichonse chochokera ku mphesa. Asadzamwe vinyo kapena choledzeretsa chilichonse, ngakhale kudya chakudya chilichonse chodetsedwa. Zonse zimene ndinawalamula azisunge bwino.”
15 Enti, Manoa ka kyerɛɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, tena ha kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛsiesie abirekyie ba bi ama woadi ansa na woakɔ.”
Manowa anamuwuza mngelo wa Yehova uja kuti, “Chonde dikirani pangʼono, timati tikukonzereni mwana wambuzi.”
16 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Mɛtena, nanso, merenni biribiara. Mmom, motumi siesie ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ de ma Awurade.” (Na Manoa anhunu sɛ ɔyɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ.)
Mngelo wa Yehova anayankha kuti, “Ngakhale mukundidikiritsa, ine sindidya chakudya chanu. Koma ngati mukonze nsembe yopsereza iperekeni kwa Yehova.” (Manowa nʼkuti asakudziwa kuti munthuyo anali mngelo wa Mulungu).
17 Afei, Manoa bisaa Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Wo din de sɛn? Sɛ nsɛm yi nyinaa ba mu a, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.”
Tsono Manowa anapempha mngelo wa Yehova kuti, “Chonde tidziwitseni dzina lanu kuti zikadzachitika zimene mwanenazi ife tidzakulemekezeni?”
18 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wobisa me din? Sɛ mebɔ me din kyerɛ wo a, worente aseɛ.”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukufunsa dzina langa? Dzina laketu ndi lodabwitsa.”
19 Afei, Manoa faa abirekyie ba no ne aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ de bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ ɔbotan bi so maa Awurade. Na Manoa ne ne yere rehwɛ no, Awurade yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ bi.
Ndipo Manowa anatenga mwana wambuzi pamodzi ndi chopereka cha chakudya nakapereka nsembe pa thanthwe kwa Yehova ndipo Yehova anachita zodabwitsa kwa Manowa ndi mkazi wake akuona.
20 Egyadɛreɛ a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no mu no tene kɔɔ ewiem no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no faa mu foro kɔeɛ. Na Manoa ne ne yere hunuu saa no, wɔde wɔn anim butubutuu fam.
Pamene malawi a moto amakwera kumwamba kuchoka pa guwa, mngelo wa Yehova uja anakwera kumwamba mʼmalawi a motowo Manowa ndi mkazi wake akuona. Tsono anadzigwetsa pansi naweramitsa mitu yawo pansi.
21 Ɔbɔfoɔ no anyi ne ho adi bio ankyerɛ Manoa ne ne yere. Afei, Manoa hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ,
Mngelo wa Yehova uja sanaonekerenso kwa Manowa ndi mkazi wake. Choncho Manowa anazindikira kuti anali mngelo wa Yehova.
22 na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne yere sɛ, “Yɛbɛwuwu, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛahunu Onyankopɔn!”
Iye anawuza mkazi wake kuti, “Ife tifa basi pakuti taona Mulungu!”
23 Nanso, ne yere kaa sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade bɛkum yɛn a, anka wannye yɛn ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ no. Anka ɔrenyi ne ho adi nkyerɛ yɛn, nka anwanwasɛm nkyerɛ yɛn, nyɛ saa anwanwadeɛ yi nso.”
Koma mkazi wake anamuyankha kuti, “Yehova akanafuna kutipha sakanayilandira nsembe yathu yopsereza ndi chopereka chathu chachakudya chija, ndipo sakanationetsanso zinthu zonsezi kapena kutiwuza zinthu ngati zimenezi nthawi ino.”
24 Ɔbaa no woo ne babarima no, wɔtoo ne din Samson. Na abɔfra no renyini no, Awurade hyiraa no.
Motero mkaziyo anabereka mwana wa mwamuna, namutcha dzina lake Samsoni. Iye anakula ndipo Yehova anamudalitsa.
25 Na ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ Mahane Dan a ɛwɔ Sora ne Estaol ntam no, Awurade Honhom hyɛɛ aseɛ baa ne so.
Mzimu wa Yehova unayamba kumulimbikitsa pamene ankakhala ku misasa ya anthu a fuko la Dani, malo amene anali pakati pa Zora ndi Esitaoli.
