士師記 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，耶和華將他們交在 非利士 人手中四十年。
1Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
2那時，有一個 瑣拉 人，是屬 但 族的，名叫 瑪挪亞 。他的妻不懷孕，不生育。
2Now there was a man from Zorah named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, whose wife was barren and had no children.
3耶和華的使者向那婦人顯現，對她說：「向來你不懷孕，不生育，如今你必懷孕生一個兒子。
3The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that you are barren and have no children; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.
4所以你當謹慎，清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃。
4Now please be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, and not to eat anything unclean.
5你必懷孕生一個兒子，不可用剃頭刀剃他的頭，因為這孩子一出胎就歸上帝作拿細耳人。他必起首拯救 以色列 人脫離 非利士 人的手。」
5For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. And no razor shall come over his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
6婦人就回去對丈夫說：「有一個神人到我面前來，他的相貌如上帝使者的相貌，甚是可畏。我沒有問他從哪裏來，他也沒有將他的名告訴我，
6So the woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. His appearance was like the angel of God, exceedingly awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
7卻對我說：『你要懷孕生一個兒子，所以清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃；因為這孩子從出胎一直到死，必歸上帝作拿細耳人。』」
7But he said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.’”
8瑪挪亞 就祈求耶和華說：「主啊，求你再差遣那神人到我們這裏來，好指教我們怎樣待這將要生的孩子。」
8Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.”
9上帝應允 瑪挪亞 的話；婦人正坐在田間的時候，上帝的使者又到她那裏，她丈夫 瑪挪亞 卻沒有同她在一處。
9And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
10婦人急忙跑去告訴丈夫說：「那日到我面前來的人，又向我顯現。」
10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has reappeared!”
11瑪挪亞 起來跟隨他的妻來到那人面前，對他說：「與這婦人說話的就是你嗎？」他說：「是我。」
11So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “I am,” he said.
12瑪挪亞 說：「願你的話應驗！我們當怎樣待這孩子，他後來當怎樣呢？」
12Then Manoah asked, “When your words come to pass, what will be the boy’s rule of life and mission?”
13耶和華的使者對 瑪挪亞 說：「我告訴婦人的一切事，她都當謹慎。
13So the angel of the LORD answered Manoah, “Your wife is to do everything I told her.
14葡萄樹所結的都不可吃，清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃。凡我所吩咐的，她都當遵守。」
14She must not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor drink any wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.”
15瑪挪亞 對耶和華的使者說：「求你容我們款留你，好為你預備一隻山羊羔。」
15“Please stay here,” Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “and we will prepare a young goat for you.”
16耶和華的使者對 瑪挪亞 說：「你雖然款留我，我卻不吃你的食物，你若預備燔祭就當獻與耶和華。」原來 瑪挪亞 不知道他是耶和華的使者。
16And the angel of the LORD replied, “Even if I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that it was the angel of the LORD.
17瑪挪亞 對耶和華的使者說：「請將你的名告訴我，到你話應驗的時候，我們好尊敬你。」
17Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes to pass?”
18耶和華的使者對他說：「你何必問我的名，我名是奇妙的。」
18“Why do you ask my name,” said the angel of the LORD, “since it is beyond comprehension?”
19瑪挪亞 將一隻山羊羔和素祭在磐石上獻與耶和華， 使者 行奇妙的事； 瑪挪亞 和他的妻觀看，
19Then Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the LORD. And as Manoah and his wife looked on, the LORD did a marvelous thing.
20見火焰從壇上往上升，耶和華的使者在壇上的火焰中也升上去了。 瑪挪亞 和他的妻看見，就俯伏於地。
20When the flame went up from the altar to the sky, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell facedown to the ground.
21耶和華的使者不再向 瑪挪亞 和他的妻顯現， 瑪挪亞 才知道他是耶和華的使者。
21And when the angel of the LORD did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it had been the angel of the LORD.
22瑪挪亞 對他的妻說：「我們必要死，因為看見了上帝。」
22“We are going to die,” he said to his wife, “for we have seen God!”
23他的妻卻對他說：「耶和華若要殺我們，必不從我們手裏收納燔祭和素祭，並不將這一切事指示我們，今日也不將這些話告訴我們。」
23But his wife replied, “If the LORD had intended to kill us, He would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things or spoken to us this way.”
24後來婦人生了一個兒子，給他起名叫 參孫 。孩子長大，耶和華賜福與他。
24So the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25在 瑪哈尼‧但 ，就是 瑣拉 和 以實陶 中間，耶和華的靈才感動他。
25And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
