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.
1Huan, Israel suanten TOUPA mitmuhin thil gilou a na hih nawn ua; huchiin TOUPAN Philistiate khut ah kum sawmli a omsak
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.
2Huan, Zora khua ah Dan nam mi khat a om a, a min Mano ahia, a ji bel a chinga, nau himhim a pai ngeikei.
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.
3Huan, TOUPA angel numei kiangah a hong kilaka, a kiangah, Ngaiin, na chinga, nau himhim na pai ngeikeia; himahleh na gai dinga, tapa na suang ding.
4Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing:
4Huchiin pilvangin, uain leh ju himhim dawn kenla, nek sianglou thil himhim leng ne het ken;
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.”
5Ngaiin, na gai dinga, tapa na suang sin ngala; a lu ah mulmet tem himhim zat a hikei dinga: naupang bel sula a om laia kipanin Pathian adia Nazareth mi lah ahi sin ngala; aman Israelte Philistia mite khut a kipanin hotkhiak a pan ding, a chi a.
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:
6Huchiin numeiin a pasal kiangah, Pathian mi mi khat ka kiangah a honga, a mel ahihleh angel mel bang, kihtakhuai tak ahi; koilam mi ahia chih bel ka dong chitchiat keia, aman lah amin a honhilh samkei:
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.’”
7Himahleh ka kiangah, Ngaiin, na gai dinga, tapa na suang dinga; huchiin uain leh ju himhim dawn kenla, nek sianglou thil himhim leng ne het ken: naupang sula a omlai akipanin a sih dongin Pathian dia Nazareth mi lah ahi sin ngala, a chi a, chiin a gena.
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.”
8Huchiin Manoin TOUPA kiangah nget chihtakin a ngen a, a kiangah, Aw TOUPA, hehpihtakin huai Pathian mi na honsawl ka kiang uah hong nawn leh, naupang hongpiang ding bang ka chih ding ua hong sinsak hen, a chi a,
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.
9Huan, Pathianin Mano thugen a na ngaikhiaa; huan, numei bel pawna a tut laiin a kiangah Pathian angel a hong nawna: a pasal Mano bel a kiangah a om keia;
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.”
10Huan, numei kintakin a tai paha, a pasal a vahilha, a kiangah, Ngaiin, janlama ka kiang a hongpa ka kiangah a hongkilak nawn hi, a chi a.
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.”
11Huchiin Mano a thou a, a ji a juia, huai mi kiang a vatung ua, a kiangah, Nang na hi maw numei kianga thugenpa? a chi a. Huan, aman, Hi e, a chi a.
12Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
12Huan, Manoin, Na thu bangjelin hongtung hen: naupang om dingdan bangchibang ahi dia, a sepding bang ahi dia leh? a chi a.
13The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
13Huan, TOUPA angelin Mano kiangah, Numei kianga ka gen tengteng, hoihtakin ngaihtuah maiin.
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.”
14Grep guia mawngmawng nek ding a hikeia, uain leh ju himhim a dawn ding ahi kei, nek sianglou thil mawngmawng leng a ne ding ahi kei; thu ka piaksa tengteng hoihtakin vom heh, a chi a.
15Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please, let us detain you, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
15Huan, Manoin TOUPA angel kiangah, Hehpihtakin ka honkhou ding uh, kelnou kon bawlsak phot dingua, a chi ua.
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.
16Huan, TOUPA angelin Mano kiangah, Honkhou lechin leng na an jaw ka ne kei ding, Huan, halmang thillat dinga bawl na hihleh TOUPA kiangah na lan ding ahi, a chi a. Manoin lah TOUPA angel ahi chih a thei ngal kei a.
17Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
17Huan, Manoin TOUPA angel kiangah, Na min bang ahia, na thugen bangbanga a hongtun chiang a kon pahtawi theihna ding un? a chi a.
18The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is wonderful?”
18Huan, TOUPA angel in a kiangah, Bangdia ka min hon dong na hia? Gen chi ahi sama, a chi a.
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.
19Huchiin, Manoin huai kelnou nekding thillat toh a laa; suangpi tungah TOUPA kiangah a lana; huan, angelin thillamdang tak a hihtaa, Mano leh a ji in a enthek uh.
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.
20Hichi ahia, maitam akipana meikuang vanlama a kahtouh laiin, TOUPA angel maitama meikuang ah a paitouta ngala: Mano leh a ji in a en thek uh; leiah a khupboh khikkhek uhi.
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.
21Ahihhangin TOUPA angel bel Mano leh a ji kiangah a hongkilak nawnta kei. Huchiin Manoin TOUPA angel ahi chih a theitaa.
22Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
22Huan, Manoin a ji kiangah, Pathian i muh jiakin i si ngeingei ding, a chi a.
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.”
23Himahleh a ji in a kiangah, TOUPAN hon hihlup a tupin halmang thillatte leh nekding thillat i latte a sang nuam zenzen kei dia, hichibang tengteng leng a honensak kei dinga, hichibang thilte leng tu tungin a honhilh sam kei ding, a chi a.
24The woman bore a son, and named him Samson: and the child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
24Huan, numeiin Tapa a suangtaa, a min dingin Samson a sa ua: huan, naungek bel a hongkhang liana, TOUPAN vual a jawl hi.Huan, Zora leh Estaol kikala Mahane-dan munah TOUPA khain a hongkhoih halh panta hi.
25The Spirit of Yahweh began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
25Huan, Zora leh Estaol kikala Mahane-dan munah TOUPA khain a hongkhoih halh panta hi.
