¹The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

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

²There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and didn’t bear.

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

³The angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren, and don’t bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

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

⁴Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing:

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

⁵for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”

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!'

⁶Then 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; and I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name:

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.

⁷but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall 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 to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”

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!'

⁸Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born.”

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!'

⁹God 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, wasn’t with her.

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

¹⁰The woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, “Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me that day.”

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

¹¹Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” He said, “I am.”

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!'

¹²Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”

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

¹³The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.

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

¹⁴She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.”

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!'

¹⁵Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please, let us detain you, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”

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

¹⁶The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat of your bread; and if you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was the angel of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁷Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”

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

¹⁸The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is wonderful?”

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

¹⁹So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did a wonderful thing as Manoah and his wife looked on.

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

²⁰For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.

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

²¹But the angel of Yahweh didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.

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

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

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

²³But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t 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.”

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.'

²⁴The woman bore a son, and named him Samson: and the child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.

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

²⁵The Spirit of Yahweh began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

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