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.
Izraelovi otroci so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod jih je za štirideset let izročil v roko Filistejcev.
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 bare not.
Tam pa je bil nek mož iz Core, iz družine Danovcev, katerega ime je bilo Manóah. Njegova žena pa je bila jalova in ni rodila.
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Gospodov angel se je prikazal ženski in ji rekel: »Glej torej, jalova si in ne rojevaš, toda spočela boš in rodila sina.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
Zdaj se torej pazi, prosim te in ne pij ne vina ne močne pijače in ne jej nobene nečiste stvari,
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.
kajti glej, spočela boš in rodila sina in nobena britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu in on bo začel Izraela osvobajati iz roke Filistejcev.«
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:
Potem je ženska prišla in svojemu soprogu povedala, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel k meni in njegovo obličje je bilo podobno obličju Božjega angela, zelo strašno. Toda nisem ga vprašala, od kje je bil niti mi ni povedal svojega imena,
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.
toda rekel mi je: ›Glej, spočela boš in rodila sina. Sedaj ne pij ne vina niti močne pijače, tudi ne jej nobene nečiste stvari, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu do dneva svoje smrti.‹«
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 onto the child that shall be born.
Potem je Manóah rotil Gospoda in rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, naj Božji mož, ki si ga poslal, ponovno pride k nama in naju pouči, kaj bova storila otroku, ki bo rojen.«
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.
Bog je prisluhnil Manóahovemu glasu in Božji angel je ponovno prišel k ženski, medtem ko je sedela na polju, toda njen soprog Manóah ni bil z njo.
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 the other day.
Ženska je pohitela, stekla in pokazala svojemu soprogu ter mu rekla: »Glej, mož se mi je prikazal, ki je prišel k meni oni dan.«
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
Manóah je vstal in odšel za svojo ženo in prišel k možu ter mu rekel: » Ali si ti mož, ki govoriš ženski?« Rekel je: »Jaz sem.«
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the manner of the child, and [what shall be] his work?
Manóah je rekel: »Sedaj naj se tvoje besede zgodijo. Kako naj določiva otroku in kako mu bova storila?«
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Pred vsem, kar sem rekel ženski, naj se ona pazi.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.
Ne sme jesti nobene stvari, ki prihaja od vina, niti naj ne pije vina ali močne pijače, niti naj ne jé nobene nečiste stvari; vsega, kar sem ji zapovedal, naj se drži.«
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.
Manóah je rekel Gospodovemu angelu: »Prosim te, naj te zadrživa, dokler zate ne bova pripravila kozlička.«
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 onto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD.
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Čeprav me zadržiš, ne bom jedel od vajinega kruha. Če pa hočeš darovati žgalno daritev, jo moraš darovati Gospodu.« Kajti Manóah ni vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
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?
Manóah je Gospodovemu angelu rekel: »Kakšno je tvoje ime, potem ko se izpolnijo tvoje besede, da ti lahko izkaževa čast?«
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Gospodov angel mu je rekel: »Zakaj sprašuješ po mojem imenu, glede na to, da je to skrivnost?«
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.
Tako je Manóah vzel kozliča z jedilno daritvijo in ga na skali daroval Gospodu in angel je čudežno storil in Manóah in njegova žena sta to videla.
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.
Kajti pripetilo se je, ko se je plamen iz oltarja povzpel proti nebu, da se je Gospodov angel dvignil v oltarnem plamenu. Manóah in njegova žena sta pogledala na to in padla na svoja obraza k tlom.
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.
Toda Gospodov angel se ni več prikazal Manóahu in njegovi ženi. Potem je Manóah vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Manóah je svoji ženi rekel: »Midva bova zagotovo umrla, ker sva videla Boga.«
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 shewed us all these things, nor would at this time have told us such things as these.
Toda njegova žena mu je rekla: »Če bi Gospodu ugajalo, da naju ubije, ne bi pri najinih rokah sprejel žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, niti nama ne bi pokazal vseh teh stvari, niti nama ob tem času ne bi povedal takšnih stvari, kot so te.«
24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Ženska je rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Samson. In otrok je rastel in Gospod ga je blagoslovil.
25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
In Gospodov Duh ga je občasno začel spodbujati v Danovem taboru, med Coro in Eštaólom.
