< Judges 13 >

1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.
Mwet Israel elos sifilpa oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, ke ma inge LEUM GOD El lela tuh mwet Philistia in leum faclos yac angngaul.
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
In pacl sac oasr sie mwet in siti Zorah su pangpang Manoah, sin sruf lal Dan, ac mutan kial ah el sie mutan talap.
3 And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD sikyang nu sin mutan sac ac fahk, “Soenna oasr tulik nutum mweyen kom talap, tusruktu ac tia paht kom ac pitutu, ac oswela sie wen.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Karinganang tuh kom in tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ac nik kom kang kutena mongo ma oal.
5 Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother’s womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
Na tukun wen se nutum an el isusla, kom in tia kal aunsifal, mweyen len se na ma el isusla ah fahla el fah sriyukla nu sin God oana sie mwet Nazirite. El pa ac molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
6 And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.
Na mutan sac som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Sie mwet lun God tuku nu yuruk. Arulana aksangeng lumahl, oana elan sie lipufan lun God. Nga tiana siyuk lah el tuku ya me, ac el tia pacna fahk inel nu sik.
7 But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb until the day of his death.
Tusruktu el fahk nu sik lah nga ac fah pitutu ac oswela sie wen. Ac el fahk pac mu nga in tiana nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal, mweyen tulik sac ac fah sie mwet Nazirite nu sin God ke lusen moul lal nufon.”
8 Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.
Na Manoah el pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nunak munas, lela tuh mwet lun God se su kom supwama meet ah in sifil foloko nu yorosr ac fahk nu sesr lah mea kut ac oru nu sin tulik se inge ke el ac isusla uh.”
9 And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,
God El oru oana ma Manoah el siyuk ah. Lipufan lun God sifilpa foloko nu yurin mutan sac ke el muta in ima ah, tusruktu mukul tumal el wangin in pacl sac.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
Na mutan sac sulaklak som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Liye, mwet se ma tuh tuku nu yuruk ah el sifilpa sikyak nu sik!”
11 He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.
Manoah el tuyak ac fahsr tukun mutan kial ah, ac ke el sun mwet sac, el siyuk sel, “Ku kom pa mwet se ma sramsram nu sin mutan kiuk ah?” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Aok.”
12 And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?
Na Manoah el fahk, “Na inge, ke pacl se ma kas lom inge akpwayeyeyuk, mea tulik se inge ac oru? Moul fuka el ac moulkin?”
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:
Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk, “Mutan kiom an el enenu in liyaung ma nukewa nga fahk nu sel ah.
14 And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfill and observe.
El tia enenu in kang kutena ma su tuku ke fokin grape, ku nim kutena wain, ku mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal. El enenu in oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu sel ah.”
15 And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.
Manoah el fahk nu sin lipufan lun LEUM GOD, “Nunak munas, nimet kom sa som. Soano kut in akmolyela soko nani fusr kom in mongo.”
16 And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.
Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Manoah, “Kom finne ikolyuwi, nga ac tia kang mongo kom oru an. Tusruktu kom fin lungse oru, kom kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD.”
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
Na Manoah el fahk, “Su inem an, tuh kut fah ku in akfulatye kom ke pacl se kas lom inge ac akpwayeyuk.”
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
Na lipufan sac el siyuk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek? Inek sie ine lukma.”
19 Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
Na Manoah el eis soko nani fusr ac kutu wheat, ac el kisakin ma inge fin sie eot nu sin LEUM GOD su oru ma usrnguk.
20 And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.
Ke pacl se e sac firiryak liki loang sac, na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el weak firir sac nu inkusrao. Ke Manoah ac mutan kial ah ngetang liye ma inge, eltal putati ac faksufi nu infohk uh.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el tia sifil sikyak nu sel Manoah ac mutan kial ah, na Manoah el tufah akilenak lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa mwet sac.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
Manoah el fahk nu sin mutan kial ah, “Pwayena lah kut ac misa, mweyen kut liyalak God!”
23 And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.
Na mutan kial ah topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El funu lungse unikuti, El lukun tia insewowo ke mwe kisa kut orala, ac El lukun tia pac akkalemye ma inge nu sesr, ku fahkak kas ouinge nu sesr ke pacl se inge.”
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Na mutan sac oswela wen se, ac sang inel Samson. Ac tulik sac el kapak, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
Ac ku lun LEUM GOD mutawauk in akkeyal ke el muta ke iwen aktuktuk lun mwet Dan in masrlon acn Zorah ac acn Eshtaol.
