Judges 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 The Israelites again offended the LORD, who therefore delivered them into the power of the Philistines for forty years.	1 Και επραξαν παλιν οι υιοι Ισραηλ πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου? και παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Κυριος εις την χειρα των Φιλισταιων τεσσαρακοντα ετη.
2 There was a certain man from Zorah, of the clan of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and had borne no children.	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.
3 An angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Though you are barren and have had no children, yet you will conceive and bear a son.	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?
4 Now, then, be careful to take no wine or strong drink and to eat nothing unclean.	4 και τωρα λοιπον προσεχε μη πιης οινον η σικερα και μη φαγης μηδεν ακαθαρτον?
5 As for the son you will conceive and bear, no razor shall touch his head, for this boy is to be consecrated to God from the womb. It is he who will begin the deliverance of Israel from the power of the Philistines."	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.
6 The woman went and told her husband, "A man of God came to me; he had the appearance of an angel of God, terrible indeed. I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.	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?
7 But he said to me, 'You will be with child and will bear a son. So take neither wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean. For the boy shall be consecrated to God from the womb, until the day of his death.'"	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.
8 Manoah then prayed to the LORD. "O LORD, I beseech you," he said, "may the man of God whom you sent, return to us to teach us what to do for the boy who will be born."	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.
9 God heard the prayer of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field. Since her husband Manoah was not with her,	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.
10 the woman ran in haste and told her husband. "The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me," she said to him;	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.
11 so Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he reached the man, he said to him, "Are you the one who spoke to my wife?" "Yes," he answered.	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.
12 Then Manoah asked, "Now, when that which you say comes true, what are we expected to do for the boy?"	12 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε, Τωρα γενηθητω ο λογος σου? τι πρεπει να καμωμεν εις το παιδιον και τι να γεινη εις αυτο;
13 The angel of the LORD answered Manoah, "Your wife is to abstain from all the things of which I spoke to her.	13 Και ειπεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Μανωε, Απο παντων οσα ειπα προς την γυναικα, ας φυλαχθη?
14 She must not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor take wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. Let her observe all that I have commanded her."	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.
15 Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Can we persuade you to stay, while we prepare a kid for you?"	15 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς τον αγγελον του Κυριου, να σε κρατησωμεν, παρακαλω, και να ετοιμασωμεν εις σε εριφιον εξ αιγων.
16 But the angel of the LORD answered Manoah, "Although you press me, I will not partake of your food. But if you will, you may offer a holocaust to the LORD."Not knowing that it was the angel of the LORD,	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.
17 Manoah said to him, "What is your name, that we may honor you when your words come true?"	17 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς τον αγγελον του Κυριου, Τι ειναι το ονομα σου, δια να σε δοξασωμεν, αφου εκπληρωθη ο λογος σου;
18 The angel of the LORD answered him, "Why do you ask my name, which is mysterious?"	18 Ο δε αγγελος του Κυριου ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι ερωτας περι του ονοματος μου; διοτι ειναι θαυμαστον.
19 Then Manoah took the kid with a cereal offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, whose works are mysteries. While Manoah and his wife were looking on,	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.
20 as the flame rose to the sky from the altar, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell prostrate to the ground;	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.
21 but the angel of the LORD was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then Manoah, realizing that it was the angel of the LORD,	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.
22 said to his wife, "We will certainly die, for we have seen God."	22 Και ειπεν ο Μανωε προς την γυναικα αυτου, Βεβαιως θελομεν αποθανει, διοτι ειδομεν τον Θεον.
23 But his wife pointed out to him, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a holocaust and cereal offering from our hands! Nor would he have let us see all this just now, or hear what we have heard."	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.
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up and the LORD blessed him;	24 Και εγεννησεν η γυνη υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σαμψων? και ηυξηνθη το παιδιον, και ευλογησεν αυτο ο Κυριος.
25 the spirit of the LORD first stirred him in Mahaneh-dan, which is between Zorah and Eshtaol.	25 Και πνευμα Κυριου ηρχισε να διεγειρη αυτο εν τω στρατοπεδω του Δαν, μεταξυ Σαραα και Εσθαολ.
