Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.
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。
2Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
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。
3And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
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。
4Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
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。
5Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother’s womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
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。」
6And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.
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，
7But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb until the day of his death.
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。』」
8Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.
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。」
9And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,
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。
10She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
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。」
11He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.
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。」
12And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?
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？」
13And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:
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。
14And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfill and observe.
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。」
15And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.
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。」
16And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.
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。
17And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
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。」
18And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
18耶和華的使者對他說：「你何必問我的名，我名是奇妙的。」
19Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
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，
20And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.
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。
21And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
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。
22And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
22瑪挪亞 對他的妻說：「我們必要死，因為看見了上帝。」
23And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.
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。」
24And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
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。
25And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.
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。
