< Judges 13 >

1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
HANA hewa hou iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova; a haawi mai la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, i hookahi kanaha makahiki.
2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
Aia no kekahi kanaka, no Zora, no ka Dana ohana, o Manoa kona inoa, ua pa kana wahine, aole i hanau.
3 Yahweh’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
Ikea mai ka anela o Iehova e ka wahine, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua pa oe, aole i hanau; e hapai auanei oe, a hanau mai i keikikane.
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing;
No ia mea la ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, mai ai hoi i kekahi mea haumia.
5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Aia hoi, e hapai ana oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane, aole e kau ka pahiumiumi ma kona poo; no ka mea, e lilo ia keiki i Nazarite ia Iehova, mai ka opu aku; nana e hoomaka i ka hoola i ka Iseraela, mai ka lima aku o ko Pilisetia.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
Alaila, hele ae la ka wahine, a hai ae la i kana kane, i ae la, Ua hele mai nei ke kanaka o ke Akua ia'u, ua like kona helehelena me ka helehelena o ka anela o ke Akua, weliweli loa. Aole au i ninau aku ia ia i kona wahi, aole hoi ia i hai mai ia'u i kona inoa.
7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
I mai la ia ia'u, Aia hoi, e hapai auanei oe, a e hanau mai i keikikane. Nolaila ea, mai inu oe i ka waina, aole hoi i ka wai awaawa, aole hoi e ai i kekahi mea haumia; no ka mea, e lilo ua keiki la i Nazarite i ke Akua mai ka opu mai, a hiki i ka la o kona make ana.
8 Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
Alaila, nonoi aku la o Manoa ia Iehova, i aku la, E kuu Haku e, e kuu mai i ko ke Akua kanaka au i hoouna mai ai, e hele hou mai ia maua, e ao mai ia maua i na mea a maua e hana aku ai i ke keiki e hanau mai ana.
9 God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah, her husband, wasn’t with her.
Hoolohe mai la ke Akua i ka leo o Manoa, a hele hou mai ka anela o ke Akua i ua wahine la, i kona noho ana, ma ke kula, aka, o Manoa, o kana kane aole ia pu me ia.
10 The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
Wikiwiki iho la ka wahine, a holo, a hoike ae la i kana kane, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua ike hou ia mai la ia'u ke kanaka i hele mai ai ia'u i kela la.
11 Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
Ku ae la o Manoa a hahai aku la i kana wahine, a hiki i ua kanaka la, i aku la ia ia, O oe anei ke kanaka i olelo mai ai i ua wahine nei? I mai la kela, Owau no.
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
I aku la o Manoa, E hookoia kau olelo. Pehea la maua e hooponopono ai i ke keiki? Heaha hoi ka hana nana?
13 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, E malama pono ka wahine i na mea a pau a'u i olelo aku ai ia ia.
14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
Mai ai oia i kekahi mea o ke kumuwaina, mai inu i ka waina, aole hoi i ka mea awaawa, mai ai oia i ka mea haumia. O na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia ia, e malama pono ia.
15 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, E kaohi paha maua ia oe, a hoomakaukauia he kaokeiki, imua ou.
16 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa, Ina kaohi mai oe ia'u, aole loa au e ai i kau berena; a ina e mohai oe i ka mohai kuni, e mohai oe ia no Iehova: no ka mea, aole i ike o Manoa he anela ia no Iehova.
17 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
I aku la o Manoa i ka anela o Iehova, Owai kou inoa? I hoomaikai aku ai maua ia oe i ka wa e ko ai kau mau olelo.
18 Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i ninau mai ai i ko'u inoa, no ka mea, he kupanaha ia.
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
Kii ae la o Manoa i kaokeiki, a me ka mohai makana, a kaumaha aku la no Iehova maluna o ka po haku: a hana kupanaha iho la ia; a nana aku la o Manoa a me kana wahine.
20 For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
I ka pii ana aku o ka lapalapa iluna i ka lani, mai ka lele aku, pii pu aku la ka anela o Iehova maloko o ka lapalapa o ke ahi o ka lele. Nana aku la o Manoa a me kaua wahine, a hina iho la ilalo ke alo i ka honua.
21 But Yahweh’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was Yahweh’s angel.
Aole ike hou ia ka anela o Iehova ia Manoa a me kana wahine. Alaila ike pono iho la o Manoa, he anela ia no Iehova.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
I ae la Manoa i kana wahine, E make auanei kaua, no ka mea, ua ike kaua i ke Akua.
23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
I mai la kana wahine ia ia, Ina i manao mai o Iehova e pepehi mai ia kaua, ina ua lawe ole oia i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohai makana mai ko kaua lima aku, aole hoi e hoike mai ia kaua i keia mau mea a pau, aole hoi e hai mai ia kaua peneia.
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
Hanau mai la ua wahine la, he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o Samesona. Nui ae la ua keiki nei, a hoomaikai mai o Iehova ia ia.
25 Yahweh’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Hoomaka iho la ka Uhane o Iehova e hooikaika ia ia, ma Mahanedana, mawaena o Zora a me Asetaola.
