Judges 13

1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rekonmanse ankò ap fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Seyè a lage yo nan men moun Filisti yo pandan karantan.

2 And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.

Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Manoak. Se te moun lavil Zora, li te fè pati branch fanmi Dann lan. Madanm li pa t' janm ka fè pitit.

3 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.

Zanj Seyè a parèt devan madanm lan, li di l' konsa: -Ou pa t' janm ka fè pitit, pa vre? Men ou pral vin ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason.

4 And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.

Piga ou janm bwè diven, ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè ou sou. Nitou, piga ou manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.

5 For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

Paske ou pral ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason. Piga ou janm koupe cheve nan tèt li, paske depi nan vant manman l', se yon gason k'ap viv apa pou Bondye tankou nazirit yo l'ap ye. Se li menm ki pral konmanse travay pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun Filisti yo.

6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.

Apre sa, madanm lan antre al di mari l': -Yon moun Bondye te vin bò kote m'. Lè mwen gade l', pou jan li te fè m' pè a ou ta di yon mesaje Bondye. Mwen pa mande l' kote l' soti, ni li pa ban m' non li.

7 And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to the day of his death.

Li di m' konsa: Ou pral ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason. Piga ou janm bwè diven, ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè ou sou. Ni piga ou manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje. Paske pitit gason ou lan pral viv apa pou Bondye tankou nazirit yo depi nan vant manman l' jouk jou li mouri.

8 Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

Lè sa a, Manoak lapriyè Seyè a, li di: -Tanpri, Mèt mwen, fè moun Bondye ou te voye a vin bò kote nou ankò pou l' ka di nou sa pou nou fè pou ti gason ki pral fèt la.

9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

Bondye fè sa Manoak te mande l' la vre. Epi mesaje Bondye a vin bò kote madanm lan ki te chita nan yon jaden. Manoak, mari a, pa t' avè l'.

10 Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.

Madanm lan prese kouri al bay mari l' nouvèl la. Li di li konsa: -Men moun ki te vin bò kote m' lòt jou a parèt devan m' ankò.

11 And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am.

Manoak leve, li swiv madanm li. L' al jwenn nonm lan, epi li di l': -Se ou menm ki te pale ak madanm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, se mwen.

12 And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?

-Manoak di l': -Bon. Lè tou sa ou di yo va rive, kijan pou m' elve ti pitit la? Kisa pou l' fè ak sa pou l' pa fè?

13 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:

Mesaje Seyè a di Manoak konsa: -Se pou madanm ou fè tou sa mwen di l' fè a.

14 she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe.

Piga li janm manje anyen ki fèt avèk rezen. Piga li janm bwè diven ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè l' sou. Piga li janm manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje. Se pou li fè tou sa mwen mande l' fè a.

15 And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.

Manoak di mesaje Seyè a: -Tanpri, poko ale. Kite nou kwit yon jenn ti kabrit pou ou.

16 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.

Mesaje Seyè a di Manoak konsa: -Menm si mwen rete mwen p'ap manje manje w'ap ban mwen an. Men si ou vle, touye yon ti kabrit, boule l' nan dife tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Manoak pa t' ankò konnen si se te yon mesaje Seyè a ki te devan l'.

17 And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?

Manoak di mesaje Seyè a: -Di nou ki jan ou rele pou nou ka fè lwanj pou ou lè pawòl ou di yo va rive vre.

18 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

Mesaje Seyè a di l': -Poukisa nou vle konnen non m'? Non m' se yon mèvèy.

19 Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.

Manoak pran jenn ti kabrit la ak kèk grenn jaden, li mete yo sou lotèl wòch la, li ofri yo pou Seyè a ki fè yon mèvèy devan Manoak ak madanm li ki te rete la ap gade.

20 And it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground.

Pandan flanm dife yo t'ap soti sou lotèl la moute nan syèl la, Manoak ak madanm li wè mesaje Seyè a moute nan syèl la nan flanm dife a. Lè yo wè sa, yo lage kò yo fas atè.

21 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah.

Manoak ak madanm li pa janm wè mesaje Bondye a ankò. Se lè sa a, Manoak vin konprann se te yon mesaje Seyè a ki te parèt devan yo a.

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

Lè sa a, Manoak di madanm li: -Nou pral mouri, paske nou wè Bondye!

23 But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and an oblation at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would he at this time have told us [such things] as these.

Madanm lan di l': -Si Seyè a te vle touye nou, li pa ta asepte ofrann nou fè pou li yo. Li pa ta fè nou wè tout bagay sa yo, ni li pa ta fè nou tande tout pawòl sa yo.

24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

Apre sa, madanm lan fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Samson. Pitit la grandi, Seyè a te beni l'.

25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.

Epi lespri Seyè a konmanse travay nan li antan li te nan kan moun Dann yo, ant Soreja ak Echtawòl.
