Judges 13
1 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.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyongera okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama. Mukama kyeyava abagabula mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti okumala emyaka amakumi ana.
2 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.
Ne wabaawo omusajja ow’e Zola, ow’omu kika ky’Abadaani, erinnya lye Manowa, eyalina mukazi we nga mugumba.
3 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.
Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’alabikira omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Laba, kaakano, oli mugumba era atazaalanga ku mwana, naye oliba olubuto n’ozaala omwana wabulenzi.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
Laba nga tonywa envinnyo, newaakubadde ekitamiiza kyonna, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu.
5 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.'
Kubanga, laba, oliba olubuto n’ozaala omwana wabulenzi, era tamwebwangako nviiri, kubanga omulenzi aliba Muwonge wa Katonda ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina, era yalitanula okulokola Isirayiri okuva mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti.”
6 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;
Awo omukazi n’agenda n’ategeeza bba, ng’agamba nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda yandabikidde mu kifaananyi kya malayika wa Katonda, era natidde nnyo. Simubuuzizza gy’avudde, ate era naye tambulidde linnya lye.
7 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.'
Wabula yaŋŋambye nti, ‘Laba oliba olubuto era olizaala omwana wabulenzi. Tonywanga envinnyo newaakubadde ekitamiiza kyonna, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu. Kubanga omulenzi aliba Muwonge eri Katonda ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina, era bw’atyo bw’aliba ennaku ez’obulamu bwe zonna.’”
8 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.'
Awo Manowa ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama wange, omusajja wa Katonda gwe watutumidde, akomewo. Ajje atuyigirize kye tuteekwa okukolera omulenzi anaatuzaalirwa.”
9 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.
Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi lya Manowa, malayika wa Katonda n’akomawo eri omukazi, n’amusanga mu nnimiro, naye nga Manowa bba tali naye.
10 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.'
Awo omukazi n’ayanguwa n’adduka n’ategeeza bba ng’agamba nti, “Laba omusajja eyandabikira olulala azze.”
11 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.'
Manowa n’agolokoka n’agoberera mukazi we. Bwe yatuuka awali omusajja n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe musajja eyayogera eri mukazi wange?” Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”
12 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?'
Manowa n’amubuuza nti, “Ebigambo byo bwe birituukirira, biragiro ki bye tuligoberera nga tukuza omulenzi?”
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’addamu Manowa nti, “Ebyo byonna bye nagamba mukazi wo ateekwa okubikola.
14 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.'
Mukazi wo tateekwa kulya kibala ekiva mu zabbibu, newaakubadde okunywa envinnyo, newaakubadde okunywa ekitamiiza, wadde okulya ekintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu. Ateekwa okukola buli kintu kye namulagira.”
15 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.'
Awo Manowa n’agamba malayika wa Mukama Katonda nti, “Sigala wano naffe, tukuteekereteekere akabuzi akato.”
16 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.
Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’agamba Manowa nti, “Ne bwe nnaasigala nammwe, sijja kulya ku mmere yammwe. Wabula bwe munaateekateeka ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, mukiweeyo eri Mukama.” Mu kiseera ekyo Manowa teyamanya nga gwe yali ayogera naye yali malayika wa Mukama.
17 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?'
Awo Manowa n’abuuza malayika wa Mukama Katonda nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe ani, ekigambo ky’oyogedde bwe kirituukirira tulyoke tukuseemu ekitiibwa?”
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is hidden?'
Malayika wa n’amuddamu nti, “Obuuliza ki erinnya lyange? Lisukka okutegeera.”
19 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.
Awo Manowa n’addira akabuzi akato, n’ekiweebwayo eky’empeke, n’abiwaayo nga ssaddaaka ku lwazi eri Mukama Katonda. Mukama n’akola eky’ekyewuunyo nga Manowa ne mukazi we balaba.
20 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.
Omuliro bwe gwava mu Kyoto okugenda eri eggulu, malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu muliro gw’ekyoto. Manowa ne mukazi we bwe baamulaba, ne bagwa wansi ne bavuunama ng’obwenyi bwabwe butuukira ddala ku ttaka.
21 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.
Malayika wa Mukama bw’ataddayo kweraga gye bali, Manowa ne mukazi we ne bategeera ng’abadde malayika wa Mukama Katonda.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife: 'We shall surely die, because we have seen God.'
Manowa n’agamba mukazi we nti, “Tugenda kufa kubanga tulabye Katonda.”
23 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.'
Naye mukazi we n’amugamba nti, “Singa Mukama Katonda yabadde wa kututta, teyandisiimye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekiweebwayo eky’empeke okuva gye tuli, newaakubadde okutulaga ebintu bino byonna, wadde okututegeeza kino.”
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Awo omukazi n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, n’amutuuma Samusooni. Omwana n’akula, Mukama Katonda n’amuwa omukisa.
25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’atandika okukolera mu Samusooni ng’ali mu Makanedani ekiri wakati w’e Zola ne Esutaoli.
