JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
1Mwet Israel elos sifilpa oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD , ke ma inge LEUM GOD El lela tuh mwet Philistia in leum faclos yac angngaul.
2And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bore not.
2In pacl sac oasr sie mwet in siti Zorah su pangpang Manoah, sin sruf lal Dan, ac mutan kial ah el sie mutan talap.
3And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her: 'Behold now, thou art barren, and hast not borne; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
3Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD sikyang nu sin mutan sac ac fahk, “Soenna oasr tulik nutum mweyen kom talap, tusruktu ac tia paht kom ac pitutu, ac oswela sie wen.
4Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
4Karinganang tuh kom in tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ac nik kom kang kutena mongo ma oal.
5For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.'
5Na tukun wen se nutum an el isusla, kom in tia kal aunsifal, mweyen len se na ma el isusla ah fahla el fah sriyukla nu sin God oana sie mwet Nazirite. El pa ac molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying: 'A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name;
6Na mutan sac som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Sie mwet lun God tuku nu yuruk. Arulana aksangeng lumahl, oana elan sie lipufan lun God. Nga tiana siyuk lah el tuku ya me, ac el tia pacna fahk inel nu sik.
7but he said unto me: Behold, thou shalt 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 unto God from the womb to the day of his death.'
7Tusruktu el fahk nu sik lah nga ac fah pitutu ac oswela sie wen. Ac el fahk pac mu nga in tiana nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal, mweyen tulik sac ac fah sie mwet Nazirite nu sin God ke lusen moul lal nufon.”
8Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said: 'Oh, LORD, I pray Thee, let the man of God whom Thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.'
8Na Manoah el pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD , nunak munas, lela tuh mwet lun God se su kom supwama meet ah in sifil foloko nu yorosr ac fahk nu sesr lah mea kut ac oru nu sin tulik se inge ke el ac isusla uh.”
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.
9God El oru oana ma Manoah el siyuk ah. Lipufan lun God sifilpa foloko nu yurin mutan sac ke el muta in ima ah, tusruktu mukul tumal el wangin in pacl sac.
10And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him: 'Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me that day.'
10Na mutan sac sulaklak som ac fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Liye, mwet se ma tuh tuku nu yuruk ah el sifilpa sikyak nu sik!”
11And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him: 'Art thou the man that spokest unto the woman?' And he said: 'I am.'
11Manoah el tuyak ac fahsr tukun mutan kial ah, ac ke el sun mwet sac, el siyuk sel, “Ku kom pa mwet se ma sramsram nu sin mutan kiuk ah?” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Aok.”
12And Manoah said: 'Now when thy word cometh to pass, what shall be the rule for the child, and what shall be done with him?'
12Na Manoah el fahk, “Na inge, ke pacl se ma kas lom inge akpwayeyeyuk, mea tulik se inge ac oru? Moul fuka el ac moulkin?”
13And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
13Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk, “Mutan kiom an el enenu in liyaung ma nukewa nga fahk nu sel ah.
14She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the grapevine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.'
14El tia enenu in kang kutena ma su tuku ke fokin grape, ku nim kutena wain, ku mwe nim ku, ku kang kutena mongo oal. El enenu in oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu sel ah.”
15And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.'
15Manoah el fahk nu sin lipufan lun LEUM GOD , “Nunak munas, nimet kom sa som. Soano kut in akmolyela soko nani fusr kom in mongo.”
16And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah: 'Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD.' For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD.
16Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Manoah, “Kom finne ikolyuwi, nga ac tia kang mongo kom oru an. Tusruktu kom fin lungse oru, kom kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD .”
17And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour?'
17Na Manoah el fahk, “Su inem an, tuh kut fah ku in akfulatye kom ke pacl se kas lom inge ac akpwayeyuk.”
18And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is hidden?'
18Na lipufan sac el siyuk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek? Inek sie ine lukma.”
19So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the LORD; and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
19Na Manoah el eis soko nani fusr ac kutu wheat, ac el kisakin ma inge fin sie eot nu sin LEUM GOD su oru ma usrnguk.
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; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
20Ke pacl se e sac firiryak liki loang sac, na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el weak firir sac nu inkusrao. Ke Manoah ac mutan kial ah ngetang liye ma inge, eltal putati ac faksufi nu infohk uh.
21But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
21Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el tia sifil sikyak nu sel Manoah ac mutan kial ah, na Manoah el tufah akilenak lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa mwet sac.
22And Manoah said unto his wife: 'We shall surely die, because we have seen God.'
22Manoah el fahk nu sin mutan kial ah, “Pwayena lah kut ac misa, mweyen kut liyalak 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 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.'
23Na mutan kial ah topuk ac fahk, “ LEUM GOD El funu lungse unikuti, El lukun tia insewowo ke mwe kisa kut orala, ac El lukun tia pac akkalemye ma inge nu sesr, ku fahkak kas ouinge nu sesr ke pacl se inge.”
24And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
24Na mutan sac oswela wen se, ac sang inel Samson. Ac tulik sac el kapak, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal.
25And the spirit of the LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
25Ac ku lun LEUM GOD mutawauk in akkeyal ke el muta ke iwen aktuktuk lun mwet Dan in masrlon acn Zorah ac acn Eshtaol.
