1The Israelites again did evil in the LORD's sight, so the LORD handed them over to the Philistines for forty years.

1וַיֹּסִ֙פוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּתְּנֵ֧ם יְהוָ֛ה בְּיַד־ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים אַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָֽה׃ פ

2There was a man named Manoah from Zorah, from the Danite tribe. His wife was infertile and childless.

2וַיְהִי֩ אִ֨ישׁ אֶחָ֧ד מִצָּרְעָ֛ה מִמִּשְׁפַּ֥חַת הַדָּנִ֖י וּשְׁמ֣וֹ מָנ֑וֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּ֥וֹ עֲקָרָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א יָלָֽדָה׃

3The LORD's angelic messenger appeared to the woman and said to her, "You are infertile and childless, but you will conceive and have a son.

3וַיֵּרָ֥א מַלְאַךְ־ יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ הָאִשָּׁ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֶ֗יהָ הִנֵּה־ נָ֤א אַתְּ־ עֲקָרָה֙ וְלֹ֣א יָלַ֔דְתְּ וְהָרִ֖ית וְיָלַ֥דְתְּ בֵּֽן׃

4Now be careful! Do not drink wine or beer, and do not eat any food that will make you ritually unclean.

4וְעַתָּה֙ הִשָּׁ֣מְרִי נָ֔א וְאַל־ תִּשְׁתִּ֖י יַ֣יִן וְשֵׁכָ֑ר וְאַל־ תֹּאכְלִ֖י כָּל־ טָמֵֽא׃

5Look, you will conceive and have a son. You must never cut his hair, for the child will be dedicated to God from birth. He will begin to deliver Israel from the power of the Philistines."

5כִּי֩ הִנָּ֨ךְ הָרָ֜ה וְיֹלַ֣דְתְּ בֵּ֗ן וּמוֹרָה֙ לֹא־ יַעֲלֶ֣ה עַל־ רֹאשׁ֔וֹ כִּֽי־ נְזִ֧יר אֱלֹהִ֛ים יִהְיֶ֥ה הַנַּ֖עַר מִן־ הַבָּ֑טֶן וְה֗וּא יָחֵ֛ל לְהוֹשִׁ֥יעַ אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

6The woman went and said to her husband, "A man sent from God came to me! He looked like God's angelic messenger--he was very awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.

6וַתָּבֹ֣א הָאִשָּׁ֗ה וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לְאִישָׁהּ֮ לֵאמֹר֒ אִ֤ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים֙ בָּ֣א אֵלַ֔י וּמַרְאֵ֕הוּ כְּמַרְאֵ֛ה מַלְאַ֥ךְ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים נוֹרָ֣א מְאֹ֑ד וְלֹ֤א שְׁאִלְתִּ֙יהוּ֙ אֵֽי־ מִזֶּ֣ה ה֔וּא וְאֶת־ שְׁמ֖וֹ לֹֽא־ הִגִּ֥יד לִֽי׃

7He said to me, 'Look, you will conceive and have a son. So now, do not drink wine or beer and do not eat any food that will make you ritually unclean. For the child will be dedicated to God from birth till the day he dies.'"

7וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לִ֔י הִנָּ֥ךְ הָרָ֖ה וְיֹלַ֣דְתְּ בֵּ֑ן וְעַתָּ֞ה אַל־ תִּשְׁתִּ֣י ׀ יַ֣יִן וְשֵׁכָ֗ר וְאַל־ תֹּֽאכְלִי֙ כָּל־ טֻמְאָ֔ה כִּֽי־ נְזִ֤יר אֱלֹהִים֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה הַנַּ֔עַר מִן־ הַבֶּ֖טֶן עַד־ י֥וֹם מוֹתֽוֹ׃ פ

8Manoah prayed to the LORD, "Please, Lord, allow the man sent from God to visit us again, so he can teach us how we should raise the child who will be born."

8וַיֶּעְתַּ֥ר מָנ֛וֹחַ אֶל־ יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בִּ֣י אֲדוֹנָ֔י אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֞ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁלַ֗חְתָּ יָבוֹא־ נָ֥א עוֹד֙ אֵלֵ֔ינוּ וְיוֹרֵ֕נוּ מַֽה־ נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לַנַּ֥עַר הַיּוּלָּֽד׃

9God answered Manoah's prayer. God's angelic messenger visited the woman again while she was sitting in the field. But her husband Manoah was not with her.

9וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּק֣וֹל מָנ֑וֹחַ וַיָּבֹ֣א מַלְאַךְ֩ הָאֱלֹהִ֨ים ע֜וֹד אֶל־ הָאִשָּׁ֗ה וְהִיא֙ יוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וּמָנ֥וֹחַ אִישָׁ֖הּ אֵ֥ין עִמָּֽהּ׃

10The woman ran at once and told her husband, "Come quickly, the man who visited me the other day has appeared to me!"

10וַתְּמַהֵר֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה וַתָּ֖רָץ וַתַּגֵּ֣ד לְאִישָׁ֑הּ וַתֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔יו הִנֵּ֨ה נִרְאָ֤ה אֵלַי֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ בָּ֥א בַיּ֖וֹם אֵלָֽי׃

11So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he met the man, he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to my wife?" He said, "Yes."

11וַיָּ֛קָם וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ מָנ֖וֹחַ אַחֲרֵ֣י אִשְׁתּ֑וֹ וַיָּבֹא֙ אֶל־ הָאִ֔ישׁ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ הַאַתָּ֥ה הָאִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבַּ֥רְתָּ אֶל־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אָֽנִי׃

12Manoah said, "Now, when your announcement comes true, how should the child be raised and what should he do?"

12וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מָנ֔וֹחַ עַתָּ֖ה יָבֹ֣א דְבָרֶ֑יךָ מַה־ יִּֽהְיֶ֥ה מִשְׁפַּט־ הַנַּ֖עַר וּמַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃

13The LORD's messenger told Manoah, "Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her.

13וַיֹּ֛אמֶר מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מָנ֑וֹחַ מִכֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ אָמַ֥רְתִּי אֶל־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה תִּשָּׁמֵֽר׃

14She should not drink anything that the grapevine produces. She must not drink wine or beer, and she must not eat any food that will make her ritually unclean. She should obey everything I commanded her to do."

14מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־ יֵצֵא֩ מִגֶּ֨פֶן הַיַּ֜יִן לֹ֣א תֹאכַ֗ל וְיַ֤יִן וְשֵׁכָר֙ אַל־ תֵּ֔שְׁתְּ וְכָל־ טֻמְאָ֖ה אַל־ תֹּאכַ֑ל כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־ צִוִּיתִ֖יהָ תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃

15Manoah said to the LORD's messenger, "Please stay here awhile, so we can prepare a young goat for you to eat."

15וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מָנ֖וֹחַ אֶל־ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֑ה נַעְצְרָה־ נָּ֣א אוֹתָ֔ךְ וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְפָנֶ֖יךָ גְּדִ֥י עִזִּֽים׃

16The LORD's messenger said to Manoah, "If I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you want to make a burnt sacrifice to the LORD, you should offer it." (He said this because Manoah did not know that he was the LORD's messenger.)

16וַיֹּאמֶר֩ מַלְאַ֨ךְ יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־ מָנ֗וֹחַ אִם־ תַּעְצְרֵ֙נִי֙ לֹא־ אֹכַ֣ל בְּלַחְמֶ֔ךָ וְאִם־ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה עֹלָ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה תַּעֲלֶ֑נָּה כִּ֚י לֹא־ יָדַ֣ע מָנ֔וֹחַ כִּֽי־ מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה הֽוּא׃

17Manoah said to the LORD's messenger, "Tell us your name, so we can honor you when your announcement comes true."

17וַיֹּ֧אמֶר מָנ֛וֹחַ אֶל־ מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה מִ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּֽי־ יָבֹ֥א [דבריך] (דְבָרְךָ֖) וְכִבַּדְנֽוּךָ׃

18The LORD's messenger said to him, "You should not ask me my name, because you cannot comprehend it."

18וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לּוֹ֙‪‬‪‬ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה לָ֥מָּה זֶּ֖ה תִּשְׁאַ֣ל לִשְׁמִ֑י וְהוּא־ פֶ֛לִאי׃‪‬‪‬ ס

19Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the LORD. The LORD's messenger did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.

19וַיִּקַּ֨ח מָנ֜וֹחַ אֶת־ גְּדִ֤י הָעִזִּים֙ וְאֶת־ הַמִּנְחָ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַל עַל־ הַצּ֖וּר לַֽיהוָ֑ה וּמַפְלִ֣א לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת וּמָנ֥וֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּ֖וֹ רֹאִֽים׃

20As the flame went up from the altar toward the sky, the LORD's messenger went up in it while Manoah and his wife watched. They fell facedown to the ground.

20וַיְהִי֩ בַעֲל֨וֹת הַלַּ֜הַב מֵעַ֤ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֔יְמָה וַיַּ֥עַל מַלְאַךְ־ יְהוָ֖ה בְּלַ֣הַב הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וּמָנ֤וֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ רֹאִ֔ים וַיִּפְּל֥וּ עַל־ פְּנֵיהֶ֖ם אָֽרְצָה׃

21The LORD's messenger did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. After all this happened Manoah realized that the visitor had been the LORD's messenger.

21וְלֹא־ יָ֤סַף עוֹד֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה לְהֵרָאֹ֖ה אֶל־ מָנ֣וֹחַ וְאֶל־ אִשְׁתּ֑וֹ אָ֚ז יָדַ֣ע מָנ֔וֹחַ כִּֽי־ מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה הֽוּא׃

22Manoah said to his wife, "We will certainly die, because we have seen a supernatural being!"

22וַיֹּ֧אמֶר מָנ֛וֹחַ אֶל־ אִשְׁתּ֖וֹ מ֣וֹת נָמ֑וּת כִּ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים רָאִֽינוּ׃

23But his wife said to him, "If the LORD wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us. He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now."

23וַתֹּ֧אמֶר ל֣וֹ אִשְׁתּ֗וֹ לוּ֩ חָפֵ֨ץ יְהוָ֤ה לַהֲמִיתֵ֙נוּ֙ לֹֽא־ לָקַ֤ח מִיָּדֵ֙נוּ֙ עֹלָ֣ה וּמִנְחָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א הֶרְאָ֖נוּ אֶת־ כָּל־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְכָעֵ֕ת לֹ֥א הִשְׁמִיעָ֖נוּ כָּזֹֽאת׃

24Manoah's wife gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The child grew and the LORD empowered him.

24וַתֵּ֤לֶד הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ בֵּ֔ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־ שְׁמ֖וֹ שִׁמְשׁ֑וֹן וַיִּגְדַּ֣ל הַנַּ֔עַר וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה׃

25The LORD's spirit began to control him in Mahaneh Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

25וַתָּ֙חֶל֙ ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֔ה לְפַעֲמ֖וֹ בְּמַחֲנֵה־ דָ֑ן בֵּ֥ין צָרְעָ֖ה וּבֵ֥ין אֶשְׁתָּאֹֽל׃ פ
