< 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.
A sinovi Izrailjevi opet èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Filistejima za èetrdeset godina.
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.
A bijaše jedan èovjek od Saraje od plemena sinova Danovijeh, po imenu Manoje, i žena mu bješe nerotkinja, i ne raðaše.
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.
Toj ženi javi se anðeo Gospodnji i reèe joj: gle, ti si sad nerotkinja, i nijesi raðala; ali æeš zatrudnjeti i rodiæeš sina.
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing;
Nego sada èuvaj se da ne piješ vina ni silovita piæa, i da ne jedeš ništa neèisto.
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.”
Jer gle, zatrudnjeæeš, i rodiæeš sina, i britva da ne prijeðe po njegovoj glavi, jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine, i on æe poèeti izbavljati Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih.
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;
I žena doðe i reèe mužu svojemu govoreæi: èovjek Božji doðe k meni, i lice mu bijaše kao lice anðela Božijega, vrlo strašno; ali ga ne zapitah odakle je, niti mi on kaza svojega imena.
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.’”
Nego mi reèe: gle, ti æeš zatrudnjeti, i rodiæeš sina; zato sada ne pij vina ni silovita piæa i ne jedi ništa neèisto; jer æe dijete biti nazirej Božji od utrobe materine pa do smrti.
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.”
Tada se Manoje pomoli Gospodu i reèe: o Gospode! neka opet doðe k nama èovjek Božji, kojega si slao, da nas nauèi šta æemo èiniti s djetetom, kad se rodi.
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.
I usliši Gospod glas Manojev; i doðe opet anðeo Gospodnji k ženi kad sjeðaše u polju; a Manoje muž njezin ne bješe kod nje.
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.”
Tada žena brže otrèa i javi mužu svojemu govoreæi mu: evo, javi mi se onaj èovjek, koji mi je prije dolazio.
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.”
A Manoje ustavši poðe sa ženom svojom; i kad doðe k èovjeku, reèe mu: jesi li ti onaj èovjek što je govorio ovoj ženi? On odgovori: jesam.
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
A Manoje reèe: kad bude što si kazao, kako æe biti pravilo za dijete i šta æe èiniti s njim?
13 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Manoju: žena neka se èuva od svega što sam joj kazao.
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.”
Neka ne jede ništa što dolazi s vinove loze, i vina ni silovita piæa neka ne pije, i ništa neèisto neka ne jede. Što sam joj zapovjedio sve neka drži.
15 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
Tada reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: radi bismo te ustaviti da ti zgotovimo jare.
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.
A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori Manoju: da me i ustaviš, neæu jesti tvojega jela; nego ako hoæeš zgotoviti žrtvu paljenicu, prinesi je Gospodu. Jer Manoje nije znao da je anðeo Gospodnji.
17 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
Opet reèe Manoje anðelu Gospodnjemu: kako ti je ime? da ti zahvalimo kad se zbude što si rekao.
18 The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
A anðeo Gospodnji odgovori mu: što pitaš za ime moje? Èudno je.
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.
Tada Manoje uze jare i dar, i prinese Gospodu na stijeni; a anðeo uèini èudo pred Manojem i ženom njegovom;
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.
Jer kad se podiže plamen s oltara k nebu, anðeo Gospodnji podiže se u plamenu s oltara; a Manoje i žena njegova videæi to padoše nièice na zemlju;
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.
I anðeo se Gospodnji ne javi više Manoju ni ženi njegovoj. Tada Manoje razumje da je anðeo Gospodnji.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
I reèe Manoje ženi svojoj: zacijelo æemo umrijeti, jer vidjesmo Boga.
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.”
A žena mu reèe: kad bi htio Bog da nas ubije, ne bi primio iz naših ruku žrtve paljenice ni dara, niti bi nam pokazao svega ovoga, niti bi nam sad objavio takih stvari.
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
I tako ta žena rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samson; i dete odraste, i Gospod ga blagoslovi.
25 The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
I duh Gospodnji poèe hoditi s njim po okolu Danovu, izmeðu Saraje i Estaola.
