ΚΡΙΤΑΙ - Giudici - Judges 13

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και επραξαν παλιν οι υιοι Ισραηλ πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου? και παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Κυριος εις την χειρα των Φιλισταιων τεσσαρακοντα ετη.	1 And again, the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
2 Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις απο Σαραα, εκ της συγγενειας Δαν, και το ονομα αυτου Μανωε? η δε γυνη αυτου ητο στειρα, και δεν εγεννα.	2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, and of the stock of Dan, whose name was Manoah, having a barren wife.
3 Και εφανη αγγελος Κυριου εις την γυναικα και ειπε προς αυτην, Ιδου, τωρα εισαι στειρα και δεν γεννας? πλην θελεις συλλαβει και θελεις γεννησει υιον?	3 And an Angel of the Lord appeared to her, and he said: “You are barren and without children. But you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 και τωρα λοιπον προσεχε μη πιης οινον η σικερα και μη φαγης μηδεν ακαθαρτον?	4 Therefore, take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. Neither shall you eat anything unclean.
5 διοτι, ιδου, θελεις συλλαβει και θελεις γεννησει υιον? και ξυραφιον δεν θελει αναβη επι την κεφαλην αυτου, διοτι το παιδιον θελει εισθαι Ναζηραιος εις τον Θεον εκ κοιλιας μητρος αυτου? και αυτος θελει αρχισει να ελευθερονη τον Ισραηλ εκ της χειρος των Φιλισταιων.	5 For you shall conceive and bear a son, whose head no razor shall touch. For he shall be a Nazirite of God, from his infancy and from his mother’s womb. And he shall begin to free Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
6 Και υπηγεν η γυνη και ειπε προς τον ανδρα αυτης, λεγουσα, Ανθρωπος Θεου ηλθε προς εμε, και το ειδος αυτου ητο ως ειδος αγγελου Θεου, φοβερον σφοδρα? αλλα δεν ηρωτησα αυτον ποθεν ειναι, ουδε το ονομα αυτου εφανερωσεν εις εμε?	6 And when she had gone to her husband, she said to him: “A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an Angel, exceedingly terrible. And when I had inquired of him, who he was, and where he was from, and what name he was called, he was not willing to tell me.
7 και ειπε προς εμε, Ιδου, θελεις συλλαβει και θελεις γεννησει υιον? τωρα λοιπον μη πιης οινον μηδε σικερα και μη φαγης μηδεν ακαθαρτον? διοτι το παιδιον θελει εισθαι Ναζηραιος εις τον Θεον, εκ κοιλιας μητρος αυτου εως της ημερας του θανατου αυτου.	7 But he responded: ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. And you shall not consume anything unclean. For the boy shall be a Nazirite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb, even until the day of his death.’ ”
8 Τοτε προσευχηθη ο Μανωε προς τον Κυριον, και ειπε, Δεομαι, Κυριε μου, ο ανθρωπος του Θεου, τον οποιον απεστειλας, ας ελθη παλιν προς ημας και ας διδαξη ημας τι να καμωμεν εις το παιδιον, το οποιον μελλει να γεννηθη.	8 And so Manoah prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you Lord, that the man of God, whom you sent, may come again, and may teach us what we ought to do about the boy who is to be born.”
9 Και εισηκουσεν ο Θεος την φωνην του Μανωε? και ηλθε παλιν ο αγγελος του Θεου προς την γυναικα, ενω αυτη εκαθητο εν τω αγρω? ο δε Μανωε ο ανηρ αυτης δεν ητο μετ' αυτης.	9 And the Lord heeded the prayer of Manoah, and the Angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, sitting in a field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. And when she had seen the Angel,
10 Και ετρεξεν η γυνη μετα σπουδης και ανηγγειλε προς τον ανδρα αυτης, λεγουσα προς αυτον, Ιδου, εφανη εις εμε ο ανθρωπος, οστις ηλθε προς εμε την ημεραν εκεινην.	10 she hurried and ran to her husband. And she reported to him, saying, “Behold, the man appeared to me, whom I had seen before.”
11 Και εσηκωθη ο Μανωε και ηκολουθησε την γυναικα αυτου και ηλθε προς τον ανθρωπον και ειπε προς αυτον, Συ εισαι ο ανθρωπος οστις ελαλησας προς την γυναικα; Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω.	11 And he rose up and followed his wife. And going to the man, he said to him, “Are you the one who spoke to my wife?” And he responded, “I am.”
12 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε, Τωρα γενηθητω ο λογος σου? τι πρεπει να καμωμεν εις το παιδιον και τι να γεινη εις αυτο;	12 And Manoah said to him: “When will your word be fulfilled. What do you want the boy to do? Or from what should he keep himself?”
13 Και ειπεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Μανωε, Απο παντων οσα ειπα προς την γυναικα, ας φυλαχθη?	13 And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah: “Concerning all the things about which I have spoken to your wife, she herself should abstain.
14 απο παντος ο, τι εξερχεται εξ αμπελου ας μη φαγη και οινον και σικερα ας μη πιη? και μηδεν ακαθαρτον ας μη φαγη? παντα οσα παρηγγειλα εις αυτην, ας φυλαξη.	14 And let her eat nothing from the vine. She may not drink wine or strong drink. She may consume nothing unclean. And let her observe and keep what I have instructed to her.”
15 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς τον αγγελον του Κυριου, να σε κρατησωμεν, παρακαλω, και να ετοιμασωμεν εις σε εριφιον εξ αιγων.	15 And Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “I beg you to agree to my petition, and to let us prepare a kid from the goats.”
16 Και ειπεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Μανωε, Και αν με κρατησης, δεν θελω φαγει απο του αρτου σου? και εαν καμης ολοκαυτωμα, προς τον Κυριον προσφερε αυτο? διοτι δεν εγνωρισεν ο Μανωε οτι ητο αγγελος Κυριου.	16 And the Angel answered him: “Even if you compel me, I will not eat from your bread. But if you are willing to offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord.” And Manoah did not know that he was an Angel of the Lord.
17 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς τον αγγελον του Κυριου, Τι ειναι το ονομα σου, δια να σε δοξασωμεν, αφου εκπληρωθη ο λογος σου;	17 And he said to him, “What is your name, so that, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?”
18 Ο δε αγγελος του Κυριου ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι ερωτας περι του ονοματος μου; διοτι ειναι θαυμαστον.	18 And he answered him, “Why do you ask my name, which is a wonder?”
19 Τοτε ελαβεν ο Μανωε το εριφιον το εξ αιγων και την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και προσεφερεν εις τον Κυριον επι της πετρας? και εθαυματουργησεν? ο δε Μανωε και η γυνη αυτου εβλεπον.	19 And so, Manoah took a kid from the goats, and libations, and he placed them upon a rock, as an offering to the Lord, who accomplishes wonders. Then he and his wife watched.
20 Διοτι, ενω η φλοξ ανεβαινεν επανωθεν του θυσιαστηριου προς τον ουρανον, ανεβη και ο αγγελος του Κυριου εν τη φλογι του θυσιαστηριου? ο δε Μανωε και η γυνη αυτου εβλεπον? και επεσαν κατα προσωπον επι την γην.	20 And when the flame of the altar ascended to heaven, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they fell prone on the ground.
21 Και δεν εφανη πλεον ο αγγελος του Κυριου εις τον Μανωε και εις την γυναικα αυτου. Τοτε εγνωρισεν ο Μανωε οτι ητο αγγελος Κυριου.	21 And the Angel of the Lord no longer appeared to them. And immediately, Manoah understood him to be an Angel of the Lord.
22 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς την γυναικα αυτου, Βεβαιως θελομεν αποθανει, διοτι ειδομεν τον Θεον.	22 And he said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, since we have seen God.”
23 Αλλ' η γυνη αυτου ειπε προς αυτον, Εαν ο Κυριος ηθελε να θανατωση ημας, δεν ηθελε δεχθη ολοκαυτωμα και προσφοραν εκ της χειρος ημων, ουδε ηθελε δειξει εις ημας παντα ταυτα, ουδε αναγγειλει προς ημας τοιαυτα εν τοιουτω καιρω.	23 And his wife answered him, “If the Lord wished to kill us, he would not have accepted the holocaust and the libations from our hands. He would not have revealed all these things to us, nor would he have told us the things that are in the future.”
24 Και εγεννησεν η γυνη υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σαμψων? και ηυξηνθη το παιδιον, και ευλογησεν αυτο ο Κυριος.	24 And so she bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
25 Και πνευμα Κυριου ηρχισε να διεγειρη αυτο εν τω στρατοπεδω του Δαν, μεταξυ Σαραα και Εσθαολ.	25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
