Jueces 13
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Und wieder taten die Israeliten, was dem Herrn mißfiel. Und der Herr gab sie in der Philister Hand vierzig Jahre.
2Da war ein Mann aus Sora, vom Geschlechte der Daniten, namens Manoach. Sein Weib aber war unfruchtbar und hatte nicht geboren.
3Da erschien des Herrn Engel dem Weib und sprach zu ihr: "Du bist unfruchtbar und hast nicht geboren. Aber du sollst in Hoffnung kommen und einen Sohn gebären.
4Dann nimm dich in acht! Trink weder Wein noch Bier und iß nichts Unreines!
5Denn du kommst in Hoffnung und gebierst einen Sohn. Auf sein Haupt darf aber kein Schermesser kommen! Denn ein Gottgeweihter soll der Knabe schon im Mutterleibe sein. Er wird anfangen, Israel aus der Philister Hand zu befreien."
6Da ging das Weib und erzählte ihrem Mann also: "Ein Gottesmann ist zu mir gekommen. Er war wie ein Engel Gottes, überaus ehrwürdig anzusehen. Ich habe ihn aber nicht gefragt, woher er sei. Auch er hat mir seinen Namen nicht genannt.
7Er sagte aber zu mir: 'Du kommst in Hoffnung und gebierst einen Sohn. Trink jetzt weder Wein noch Bier und iß nichts Unreines! Denn ein Gottgeweihter wird der Knabe sein vom Mutterleibe bis zu seinem Todestage.'"
8Da betete Manoach zum Herrn und sprach: "Mit Vergunst, Herr! Der Gottesmann, den Du gesandt, möge nochmals zu uns kommen und uns belehren, was wir mit dem Knaben tun sollen, der geboren wird!"
9Und Gott hörte auf Manoachs Stimme. Und so kam der Gottesengel nochmals zu dem Weibe. Sie weilte eben auf dem Felde. Ihr Mann Manoach war aber nicht bei ihr.
10Eilends lief das Weib hin und meldete es ihrem Manne und sprach zu ihm: "Eben ist mir der Mann erschienen, der damals zu mir gekommen."
11Da stand Manoach auf, folgte seinem Weibe, kam zu dem Mann und sprach zu ihm: "Bist du der Mann, der mit dem Weibe gesprochen?" Er sagte: "Ja!"
12Da sprach Manoach: "Wenn deine Worte eintreffen, wie soll des Knaben Weise sein und wie sein Tun?"
13Da sprach des Herrn Engel zu Manoach: "Vor all dem, was ich dem Weibe genannt, soll sie sich hüten!
14Sie genieße gar nichts, was vom Weinstock kommt! Sie trinke weder Wein noch Bier, noch esse sie etwas Unreines! Alles, was ich ihr geboten, soll sie beobachten!"
15Da sprach Manoach zu des Herrn Engel: "Wir möchten dich aufhalten und dir ein Ziegenböckchen vorsetzen."
16Da sprach des Herrn Engel zu Manoach: "Wolltest du mich auch aufhalten ich koste doch nicht von deiner Speise. Willst du aber ein Brandopfer bereiten, dann bringe es dem Herrn dar!" Manoach nämlich wußte nicht, daß es des Herrn Engel war.
17So fragte Manoach den Engel des Herrn: "Wie heißst du? Denn trifft dein Wort ein, möchten wir es dir lohnen."
18Da sprach des Herrn Engel zu ihm: "Wozu fragst du nach meinem Namen? Ist es doch ein Wunder des Herrn."
19Da nahm Manoach das Ziegenböckchen und das Speiseopfer und brachte es auf dem Felsen dem Herrn dar. Er aber tat Wunderbares. Manoach und sein Weib schauten zu.
20Als die Flamme vom Altar zum Himmel stieg, fuhr des Herrn Engel in der Flamme auf. Manoach und sein Weib sahen es. Da fielen sie zur Erde auf ihr Angesicht.
21Des Herrn Engel aber erschien Manoach und seinem Weibe nicht wieder. Da erkannte Manoach, daß es der Engel des Herrn war.
22Und Manoach sprach zu seinem Weibe: "Wir müssen sterben; denn wir haben einen Gott gesehen."
23Da sprach sein Weib zu ihm: "Hätte uns der Herr töten wollen, so hätte er nicht Brand- und Speiseopfer von uns angenommen und uns nicht jetzt solches schauen und hören lassen."
24Und das Weib gebar einen Sohn. Sie hieß ihn Simson. Der Knabe wuchs heran, und der Herr segnete ihn.
25Und der Geist des Herrn begann, ihn anzutreiben in Dans Lager zwischen Sora und Estaol.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y LOS hijos de Israel tornaron á hacer lo malo en los ojos de Jehová; y Jehová los entregó en mano de los Filisteos, por cuarenta años.
2Y había un hombre de Sora, de la tribu de Dan, el cual se llamaba Manoa; y su mujer era estéril, que nunca había parido.
3A esta mujer apareció el ángel de Jehová, y díjole: He aquí que tú eres estéril, y no has parido; mas concebirás y parirás un hijo.
4Ahora, pues, mira que ahora no bebas vino, ni sidra, ni comas cosa inmunda.
5Porque tú te harás embarazada, y parirás un hijo: y no subirá navaja sobre su cabeza, porque aquel niño será Nazareo á Dios desde el vientre, y él comenzará á salvar á Israel de mano de los Filisteos.
6Y la mujer vino y contólo á su marido, diciendo: Un varón de Dios vino á mí, cuyo aspecto era como el aspecto de un ángel de Dios, terrible en gran manera; y no le pregunté de dónde ni quién era, ni tampoco él me dijo su nombre.
7Y díjome: He aquí que tú concebirás, y parirás un hijo: por tanto, ahora no bebas vino, ni sidra, ni comas cosa inmunda; porque este niño desde el vientre será Nazareo á Dios hasta el día de su muerte.
8Entonces oró Manoa á Jehová, y dijo: Ah, Señor mío, yo te ruego que aquel varón de Dios que enviaste, torne ahora á venir á nosotros, y nos enseñe lo que hayamos de hacer con el niño que ha de nacer.
9Y Dios oyó la voz de Manoa: y el ángel de Dios volvió otra vez á la mujer, estando ella en el campo; mas su marido Manoa no estaba con ella.
10Y la mujer corrió prontamente, y noticiólo á su marido, diciéndole: Mira que se me ha aparecido aquel varón que vino á mí el otro día.
11Y levantóse Manoa, y siguió á su mujer; y así que llegó al varón, díjole: ¿Eres tú aquel varón que hablaste á la mujer? Y él dijo: Yo soy.
12Entonces Manoa dijo: Cúmplase pues tu palabra. ¿Qué orden se tendrá con el niño, y qué ha de hacer?
13Y el ángel de Jehová respondió á Manoa: La mujer se guardará de todas las cosas que yo le dije:
14Ella no comerá cosa que proceda de vid que da vino; no beberá vino ni sidra, y no comerá cosa inmunda: ha de guardar todo lo que le mandé.
15Entonces Manoa dijo al ángel de Jehová: Ruégote permitas que te detengamos, y aderezaremos un cabrito que poner delante de ti.
16Y el ángel de Jehová respondió á Manoa: Aunque me detengas no comeré de tu pan: mas si quisieres hacer holocausto, sacrifícalo á Jehová. Y no sabía Manoa que aquél fuese ángel de Jehová.
17Entonces dijo Manoa al ángel de Jehová: ¿Cómo es tu nombre, para que cuando se cumpliere tu palabra te honremos?
18Y el ángel de Jehová respondió: ¿Por qué preguntas por mi nombre, que es oculto?
19Y Manoa tomó un cabrito de las cabras y un presente, y sacrificólo sobre una peña á Jehová: y el ángel hizo milagro á vista de Manoa y de su mujer.
20Porque aconteció que como la llama subía del altar hacia el cielo, el ángel de Jehová subió en la llama del altar á vista de Manoa y de su mujer, los cuales se postraron en tierra sobre sus rostros.
21Y el ángel de Jehová no tornó á aparecer á Manoa ni á su mujer. Entonces conoció Manoa que era el ángel de Jehová.
22Y dijo Manoa á su mujer: Ciertamente moriremos, porque á Dios hemos visto.
23Y su mujer le respondió: Si Jehová nos quisiera matar, no tomara de nuestras manos el holocausto y el presente, ni nos hubiera mostrado todas estas cosas, ni en tal tiempo nos habría anunciado esto.
24Y la mujer parió un hijo, y llamóle por nombre Samsón. Y el niño creció, y Jehová lo bendijo.
25Y el espíritu de Jehová comenzó á manifestarse en él en los campamentos de Dan, entre Sora y Esthaol.
King James Version
1And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2And 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.
3And 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.
4Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
7But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
8Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9And 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.
10And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
11And 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.
12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
13And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14She 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.
15And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
17And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
18And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
19So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20For 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 it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
21But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
22And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
24And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
World English Bible
1The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
3The LORD’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing;
5for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
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. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
7but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
8Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
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.
10The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
11Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
12Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
13The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
15Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
16The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was the LORD’s angel.
17Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
18The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
19So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
20For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, the LORD’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21But the LORD’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was the LORD’s angel.
22Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
23But his wife said to him, “If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
24The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
