士师记-Judges 第 13 章

13:1	以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，耶和华将他们交在非利士人手中四十年。 Then the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
13:2	那时有一个琐拉人，属但人的家族，名叫玛挪亚；他的妻子不能生育，没有生孩子。 And there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children.
13:3	耶和华的使者向那妇人显现，对她说，向来你不能生育，没有生孩子；如今你必怀孕生一个儿子。 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman and said to her, Now you are barren and have borne no children; but you will conceive and bear a son.
13:4	所以你当谨慎，淡酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃。 And now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink nor to eat anything unclean;
13:5	你必怀孕生一个儿子，不可用剃刀剃他的头，因为这孩子从母腹里就归神作拿细耳人；他必起首拯救以色列脱离非利士人的手。 For you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy will be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he will begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
13:6	妇人就去对丈夫说，有一个神人到我这里来，祂的相貌如神使者的相貌，甚是可畏。我没有问祂从那里来，祂也没有将祂的名告诉我， Then 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 awesome. And I did not ask Him where He was from, nor did He tell me His name;
13:7	却对我说，你必怀孕生一个儿子；现在你淡酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃；因为这孩子从母腹里一直到死，必归神作拿细耳人。 But He said to me, You shall conceive and bear a son. And now do not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean; for the boy will be a Nazarite to God from the womb until the day of his death.
13:8	玛挪亚就祈求耶和华说，主阿，求你叫你所差遣的神人再到我们这里来，好指教我们怎样待这将要生的孩子。 Then Manoah entreated Jehovah and said, Oh, Lord! Let the man of God, whom You sent, come again to us, I pray; and let Him teach us what we should do with the boy that is to be born.
13:9	神听了玛挪亚祈求的声音；妇人正坐在田间的时候，神的使者又到她那里，她丈夫玛挪亚却没有同她在一处。 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman while she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
13:10	妇人急忙跑去告诉丈夫说，那日到我这里来的人，又向我显现了。 And the woman hurried and ran off; and she told her husband and said to him, The man who came to me that day has just appeared to me.
13:11	玛挪亚起来跟随他的妻子来到那人跟前，对祂说，你就是与这妇人说话的人么？祂说，我就是。 And Manoah rose up and followed his wife and came to the man. And he said to Him, Are You the man who spoke to this woman? And He said, I am.
13:12	玛挪亚说，那么，当你的话应验时，这孩子当守什么规条？他要作的是什么？ And Manoah said, Now when Your words come to pass, what rule shall the boy follow, and what shall he do?
13:13	耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说，我告诉这妇人的一切事，她都当谨守。 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Observe all that I spoke to this woman.
13:14	葡萄树所结的，她都不可吃；淡酒和浓酒，她都不可喝；一切不洁之物，她也不可吃；凡我所吩咐的，她都当谨守。 She is not to eat of anything that comes forth from the grapevine, nor is she to drink wine or strong drink, nor is she to eat anything unclean; she shall observe all that I commanded her.
13:15	玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说，求你让我们款留你，好为你豫备一只山羊羔。 And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, Let us detain You, we pray, that we may prepare a kid for You.
13:16	耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说，你虽然款留我，我却不吃你的食物；你若豫备燔祭，就当献与耶和华。原来玛挪亚不知道祂是耶和华的使者。 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, If you detain Me, I will not eat your food; but if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah did not know that He was the Angel of Jehovah.
13:17	玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说，请告诉我你的名叫什么，到你话应验的时候，我们好尊敬你。 Then Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is Your name, so that when Your words come to pass, we may honor You?
13:18	耶和华的使者对他说，你何必问我的名，我的名是奇妙的。 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Why do you ask about My name, since it is wonderful?
13:19	玛挪亚将一只山羊羔和素祭，在磐石上献与耶和华；祂行奇妙的事，玛挪亚和他的妻子观看着。 And Manoah took the kid with the meal offering and offered it up upon the rock to Jehovah; and He acted wondrously, while Manoah and his wife looked on.
13:20	当火焰从坛上往天上升时，耶和华的使者在坛上的火焰中也升上去了。玛挪亚和他的妻子看见，就面伏于地。 And when the flame went up from the altar to heaven, the Angel of Jehovah went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
13:21	耶和华的使者不再向玛挪亚和他的妻子显现，玛挪亚才知道祂是耶和华的使者。 And the Angel of Jehovah did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. Then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of Jehovah.
13:22	玛挪亚对他的妻子说，我们必要死，因为看见了神。 And Manoah said to his wife, We will surely die, for we have seen God.
13:23	他的妻子却对他说，耶和华若有意杀我们，就不会从我们手里收纳燔祭和素祭，也不会将这一切事指示我们，更不会在这时候叫我们听见这样的事。 But his wife said to him, If Jehovah had been pleased to kill us, He would not have taken a burnt offering and a meal offering from our hand, nor would He have shown us all these things or let us hear a thing like this at this time.
13:24	后来妇人生了一个儿子，给他起名叫参孙。孩子长大，耶和华赐福与他。 And the woman bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and Jehovah blessed him.
13:25	在玛哈尼但，就是琐拉和以实陶之间，耶和华的灵开始感动他。 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
