King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
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.
1Καὶ προσέθηκαν ἔτι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιῒμ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
2¶ And 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.
2Καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Σαραὰ ἀπὸ δήμου συγγενείας τοῦ Δανὶ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μανωὲ, καὶ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἔτεκε.
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.
3Καὶ ὤφθη ἄγγελος Κυρίου πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν, ἰδοὺ σὺ στεῖρα καὶ οὐ τέτοκας, καὶ συλλήψῃ υἱόν.
4Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
4Καὶ νῦν φύλαξαι δὴ, καὶ μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα, καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον,
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.
5ὅτι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν· καὶ σίδηρος ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀναβήσεται, ὅτι Ναζὶρ Θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ τῆς κοιλίας· καὶ αὐτὸς ᾄρξεται σῶσαι τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ χειρὸς Φυλιστιΐμ.
6¶ Then 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:
6Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς, λέγουσα, ἄνθρωπος Θεοῦ ἦλθε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ εἶδος αὐτοῦ ὡς εἶδος ἀγγέλου Θεοῦ, φοβερὸν σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἠρώτησα αὐτὸν πόθεν ἐστὶ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλέ μοι.
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.
7Καὶ εἶπέ μοι, ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν· καὶ νῦν μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα, καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον, ὅτι Θεοῦ ἅγιον ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ γαστρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ.
8¶ Then 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.
8Καὶ προσηύξατο Μανωὲ πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐν ἐμοὶ Κύριε ἀδωναϊὲ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὃν ἀπέστειλας· ἐλθέτω δὴ ἔτι πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ συμβιβασάτω ἡμᾶς τί ποιήσωμεν τῷ παιδίῳ τῷ τικτομένῳ.
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.
9Καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς Μανωὲ, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἔτι πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· καὶ αὕτη ἐκάθητο ἐν ἀγρῷ, καὶ Μανωὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἦν μετʼ αὐτῆς.
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.
10Καὶ ἐτάχυνεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔδραμε καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἰδοὺ ὦπται πρὸς μὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὃς ἦλθεν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πρὸς μέ.
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 .
11Καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Μανωὲ ὀπίσω τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ, ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος, ἐγώ.
12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
12Καὶ εἶπε Μανωὲ, νῦν ἐλεύσεται ὁ λόγος· τίς ἔσται κρίσις τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ;
13And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
13Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου πρὸς Μανωὲ, ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν εἴρηκα πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, φυλάξεται·
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.
14Ἀπὸ παντὸς ὃ ἐκπορεύεται ἐξ ἀμπέλου τοῦ οἴνου, οὐ φάγεται, καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα μὴ πιέτω, καὶ πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον μὴ φαγέτω· πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῇ, φυλάξεται.
15¶ And 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.
15Καὶ εἶπε Μανωὲ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον Κυρίου, κατάσχωμεν ὧδέ σε, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐνώπιόν σου ἔριφον αἰγῶν.
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 .
16Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου πρὸς Μανωὲ, ἐὰν κατάσχῃς, οὐ φάγομαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρτων σου· καὶ ἐὰν ποιήσῃς ὁλοκαύτωμα, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀνοίσεις αὐτό· ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω Μανωὲ, ὅτι ἄγγελος Κυρίου αὐτός.
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?
17Καὶ εἶπε Μανωὲ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον Κυρίου, τί τὸ ὄνομά σοι, ὅτι ἔλθοι τὸ ῥῆμά σου, καὶ δοξάσομέν σε;
18And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
18Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου, εἰς τί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς τὸ ὄνομά μου; καὶ αὐτό ἐστι θαυμαστόν.
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.
19Καὶ ἔλαβε Μανωὲ τὸν ἔριφον τῶν αἰγῶν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ διεχώρισε ποιῆσαι, καὶ Μανωὲ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες.
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.
20Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι τὴν φλόγα ἐπάνω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ φλογί. καὶ Μανωὲ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
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 .
21Καὶ οὐ προσέθηκεν ἔτι ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ὀφθῆναι πρὸς Μανωὲ καὶ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· τότε ἔγνω Μανωὲ, ὅτι ἄγγελος Κυρίου οὗτος.
22And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
22Καὶ εἶπε Μανωὲ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, θανάτῳ ἀποθανούμεθα ὅτι Θεὸν εἴδομεν.
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.
23Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, εἰ ἤθελεν ὁ Κύριος θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς, οὐκ ἂν ἔλαβεν ἐκ χειρὸς ἡμῶν ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίαν, καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἔδειξεν ἡμῖν ταῦτα πάντα, καὶ καθὼς καιρός οὐκ ἂν ἠκούτισεν ἡμᾶς ταῦτα.
24¶ And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
24Καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ υἱὸν, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Σαμψών· καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸ Κύριος.
25And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
25Καὶ ἤρξατο πνεῦμα Κυρίου συνεκπορεύεσθαι αὐτῷ ἐν παρεμβολῇ Δὰν, καὶ ἀναμέσον Σαραὰ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἐσθαόλ.
