Judges 13
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight; and the LORD delivered 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 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
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 The LORD’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.
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 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing;
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, 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.”
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 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 did not ask him where he was from, 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 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Do not eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to 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 entreated the LORD, 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.”
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 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, 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 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.”
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 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.”
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 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
-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 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to 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 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.”
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 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
Manoak di mesaje Seyè a: -Tanpri, poko ale. Kite nou kwit yon jenn ti kabrit pou ou.
16 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I will not eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that he was the LORD’s angel.
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 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
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 The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
Mesaje Seyè a di l': -Poukisa nou vle konnen non m'? Non m' se yon mèvèy.
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
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 For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, the LORD’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they 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 But the LORD’s angel did not appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was the LORD’s angel.
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 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 the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he would not have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
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 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Apre sa, madanm lan fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Samson. Pitit la grandi, Seyè a te beni l'.
25 The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Epi lespri Seyè a konmanse travay nan li antan li te nan kan moun Dann yo, ant Soreja ak Echtawòl.
