¹Kui Iisraeli lapsed jälle tegid kurja Issanda silmis, siis andis Issand nad neljakümneks aastaks vilistite kätte.

¹And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

²Sorast, daanlaste suguvõsast, oli keegi mees, Maanoah nimi; tema naine oli sigimatu ega olnud sünnitanud.

²And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.

³Aga Issanda ingel ilmutas ennast naisele ja ütles temale: 'Vaata, sa oled sigimatu ega ole sünnitanud. Aga sa jääd lapseootele ja tood poja ilmale.

³And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.

⁴Hoia siis nüüd, et sa ei joo veini ja vägijooki ega söö midagi roojast!

⁴And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.

⁵Sest vaata, sa jääd lapseootele ja tood poja ilmale. Aga habemenuga ei tohi saada tema pea ligi, sest poiss peab olema emaihust alates Jumalale nasiiriks, ja tema hakkab Iisraeli päästma vilistite käest!'

⁵For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁶Ja naine läks ning rääkis oma mehega, öeldes: 'Mu juurde tuli jumalamees ja tal oli nagu Jumala ingli välimus, kartustäratav! Mina ei küsinud temalt, kust ta oli, ja tema ei andnud mulle teada oma nime.

⁶And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.

⁷Aga ta ütles mulle: Vaata, sa jääd lapseootele ja tood poja ilmale; ära siis nüüd joo veini ega vägijooki ja ära söö midagi roojast, sest poiss peab olema Jumalale nasiiriks emaihust alates kuni oma surmapäevani!'

⁷And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to the day of his death.

⁸Siis Maanoah palus Issandat ja ütles: 'Oh Issand! Jumalamees, kelle sa läkitasid, tulgu veel kord meie juurde ja õpetagu meid, mida peame tegema poisiga, kes sünnib!'

⁸Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

⁹Ja Jumal kuulis Maanoahi häält ning Jumala ingel tuli jälle naise juurde, kui see istus väljal, ja Maanoah, ta mees, ei olnud tema juures.

⁹And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

¹⁰Siis naine ruttas, jooksis ning teatas oma mehele ja ütles temale: 'Vaata, mulle ilmutas ennast see mees, kes hiljuti mu juurde tuli.'

¹⁰Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.

¹¹Ja Maanoah tõusis, läks oma naise järel ja tuli mehe juurde ning küsis temalt: 'Kas sina oled see mees, kes naisega rääkis?' Ja see vastas: 'Olen!'

¹¹And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am.

¹²Ja Maanoah küsis: 'Kui nüüd su sõna täide läheb, missugune peab siis olema poisi eluviis ja kuidas teda kohelda?'

¹²And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?

¹³Ja Issanda ingel vastas Maanoahile: 'Naine hoidugu kõigest, mis ma temale olen öelnud:

¹³And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:

¹⁴ta ei tohi süüa midagi, mis tuleb viinapuust; ta ei tohi juua veini ja vägijooki ega süüa midagi roojast; ta peab pidama kõike, mis ma teda olen käskinud!'

¹⁴she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe.

¹⁵Siis Maanoah ütles Issanda inglile: 'Luba, et peame sind kinni, et saaksime sulle valmistada sikutalle!'

¹⁵And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.

¹⁶Aga Issanda ingel vastas Maanoahile: 'Kuigi sa pead mind kinni, ei söö ma ometi su leiba. Aga kui sa tahad valmistada põletusohvrit, siis ohverda see Issandale!' Sest Maanoah ei teadnud, et see oli Issanda ingel.

¹⁶And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.

¹⁷Ja Maanoah küsis Issanda inglilt: 'Mis su nimi on, et saaksime sind austada, kui su sõnad täide lähevad?'

¹⁷And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?

¹⁸Aga Issanda ingel vastas temale: 'Miks sa küsid mu nime? See on ju imeline!'

¹⁸And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

¹⁹Siis Maanoah võttis sikutalle ja roaohvri ning ohverdas selle kalju peal Issandale, kes imeliselt talitab. Ja Maanoah ja ta naine nägid,

¹⁹Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.

²⁰kui leek tõusis altarilt taeva poole, et Issanda ingel läks üles altari leegis Maanoahi ja ta naise nähes; ja nad heitsid silmili maha.

²⁰And it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground.

²¹Kuigi Issanda ingel enam ei ilmutanud ennast Maanoahile ja tema naisele, teadis Maanoah, et see oli olnud Issanda ingel.

²¹And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah.

²²Ja Maanoah ütles oma naisele: 'Me peame surema, sest me oleme näinud Jumalat!'

²²And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

²³Aga ta naine ütles temale: 'Kui Issand oleks tahtnud meid surmata, siis ei oleks ta meie käest vastu võtnud põletus- ja roaohvrit ega oleks meile näidanud kõike seda, samuti ei oleks ta meid lasknud nüüd seesugust kuulda.'

²³But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and an oblation at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would he at this time have told us [such things] as these.

²⁴Ja naine tõi poja ilmale ning pani temale nimeks Simson; poiss kasvas suureks ja Issand õnnistas teda.

²⁴And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

²⁵Ja Issanda Vaim hakkas teda mõjustama Daani leeris Sora ja Estaoli vahel.

²⁵And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
