Mpitsara 13
1 Nanao haratiañe indraik’ am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio efa-polo taoñe.
And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 Teo t’indaty boake Tsorà, fifokoa’ i Dane, natao Manoàke, beitsiterake ty tañanjomba’e, mbe tsy nisamake.
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bore not.
3 Nisodehañe amy rakembay ty anjeli’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Toe beitsiterake irehe, mbe tsy nahatoly, f’ie hiareñe hisamak’ ana-dahy.
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her: 'Behold now, thou art barren, and hast not borne; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 Ie amy zao mitaòa, asoao tsy hikama divay ndra toake, naho ko mikama raha faly.
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
5 Inao, hiaren-drehe naho hisamak’ ana-dahy; le tsy hozàm-pihàratse ty loha’e amy te ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao i ajajay; vaho ie ty hiorotse handrombake Israele hiavotse am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.'
6 Nimb’ amy vali’ey amy zao i rakembay nitalily ty hoe: Nivotrak’ amako ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanahake ty vintan’ anjelin’ Añahare ty vinta’e, toe nampañeveñe; fa tsy nañontaneako ty nihirifa’e, vaho tsy nitaroñe’e amako ty tahina’e;
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying: 'A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name;
7 fe hoe re tamako, Inao! hiareñe vaho hisamak’ ana-dahy irehe le ko minon-divay ndra toake henane zao, ndra hihinan-draha faly; fa ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao pak’ añ’ andro hihomaha’e i ajajay.
but he said unto me: Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death.'
8 Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Manoàke, nanao ty hoe: Ry Talè, Ampombao mb’ ama’ay mb’ etoa indraike indatin’ Añahare nirahe’oy, hañòha’e ze hanoa’ay amy ajaja hasamakey.
Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said: 'Oh, LORD, I pray Thee, let the man of God whom Thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.'
9 Hinaon’ Añahare ty fiarañanaña’ i Manoàke, vaho nivotrak’ amy rakembay indraike i anjelin’ Añaharey ie niambesatse an-teteke ey, fe tsy tama’e i vali’ey.
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10 Nihitrike ty lay mb’ amy vali’ey mb’eo amy zao i rakembay nanao ty hoe: Ingo fa niheo amako aniany indaty nisodehañe amakoy.
And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him: 'Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me that day.'
11 Aa le niongake t’i Manoàke nañorike i vali’ey naho niheo mb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo, le nanoa’ ty hoe: Ihe hao indaty nisaontsy amy rakembaiy? Le hoe re, Izaho.
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him: 'Art thou the man that spokest unto the woman?' And he said: 'I am.'
12 Le hoe t’i Manoake, Ehe te ho tondroke i saontsi’oy. Akore ty andahara’ay i ajajay, vaho ino ty hanoe’ay ama’e?
And Manoah said: 'Now when thy word cometh to pass, what shall be the rule for the child, and what shall be done with him?'
13 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Manoake, Ee te hilie-batañe amy nitaroñeko iabiy o rakembao,
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14 t’ie tsy hikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe boak’ amy vahey, le ko mei’o hinon-divay ndra toake, ndra ty hikama raha faly; hene ampiambeneñe aze o nandiliakoo.
She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the grapevine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.'
15 Le hoe t’i Manoak’ amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ehe’e te hisebañ’ azo zahay hañalankañe vik’ose.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.'
16 Aa le tinoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovày t’i Manoàke ami’ty hoe: Ndra te sebañe’o, tsy ho kamaeko o mahakama’oo, fe naho hañenga horoañe, le misoroña am’ Iehovà; amy te tsy napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD.' For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD.
17 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ia’ ty tahina’o, hiasia’ay naho tondroke o saontsi’oo?
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour?'
18 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Anjeli’ Iehovày: Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako, kanao tsikentañe?
And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is hidden?'
19 Aa le rinambe’ i Manoake ty vik’ ose rekets’ enga-mahakama naho nisoroña’e amy Iehovà am-bato eo, vaho nanoe’ i anjeliy halatsañe am-pisamba’ i Manoàke mirovaly,
So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the LORD; and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20 amy te, ie nionjomb’ an-dikeram-beo i lel’ afo boak’ amy kitreliiy, le nionjoñe amy lel’ afo boak’ an-kitreliy i anjeli’ Iehovày. Aa ie niisa’ i Manoake mirovaly izay le nibabok’ an-daharañe an-tane.
For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21 Le tsy niboak’ amy Manoàke naho amy vali’ey ka i anjeli’ Iehovà, fe napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
22 Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy tañanjomba’ey, Toe hivetrake tika kanao nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
And Manoah said unto his wife: 'We shall surely die, because we have seen God.'
23 Fa hoe ka ty asa’ i vali’ey ama’e: Naho nipay hañoho-doza aman-tika t’Iehovà, tsy ho rinambe’e am-pitàn-tika i soroñey naho i banabanay, naho tsy ho naboa’e amantika, vaho tsy ho tinaro’e aman-tika henaneo i hoe zay.
But his wife said unto him: 'If the LORD were pleased to kill us, He would not have received a burnt-offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would He have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.'
24 Nisamak’ ana-dahy i rakembay naho natao’e Simsone ty añara’e. Nitombo’ i ajajay vaho nitahie’ Iehovà.
And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25 Namototse nañetsek’ aze betek’ an-kialo’ i Dane añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole ty Arofo’ Iehovà.
And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
