Judges 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The Israelites again offended the LORD, who therefore delivered them into the power of the Philistines for forty years.	1 και προσεθεντο οι υιοι ισραηλ ποιησαι το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εν χειρι αλλοφυλων 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 και εγενετο ανηρ εκ σαραα εκ της φυλης του δαν και ονομα αυτω μανωε και η γυνη αυτου στειρα και ουκ ετικτεν
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 ωφθη αγγελος κυριου προς την γυναικα και ειπεν προς αυτην ιδου δη συ στειρα και ου τετοκας και εν γαστρι εξεις και τεξη υιον
4 Now, then, be careful to take no wine or strong drink and to eat nothing unclean.	4 και νυν φυλαξαι και μη πιης οινον και σικερα και μη φαγης παν 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 οτι ιδου συ εν γαστρι εξεις και τεξη υιον και ουκ αναβησεται σιδηρος επι την κεφαλην αυτου οτι ηγιασμενον ναζιραιον εσται τω θεω το παιδαριον εκ της γαστρος και αυτος αρξεται σωζειν τον ισραηλ εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων
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 ηλθεν η γυνη και ειπεν τω ανδρι αυτης λεγουσα οτι ανθρωπος του θεου ηλθεν προς με και η ορασις αυτου ως ορασις αγγελου του θεου επιφανης σφοδρα και ηρωτων ποθεν εστιν και το ονομα αυτου ουκ απηγγειλεν μοι
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 ειπεν μοι ιδου συ εν γαστρι εξεις και τεξη υιον και νυν μη πιης οινον και σικερα και μη φαγης πασαν ακαθαρσιαν οτι ναζιραιον θεου εσται το παιδαριον απο της γαστρος εως ημερας 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 και εδεηθη μανωε του κυριου και ειπεν εν εμοι κυριε ανθρωπος του θεου ον απεστειλας προς ημας ελθετω δη προς ημας και φωτισατω ημας τι ποιησωμεν τω παιδαριω τω τικτομενω
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 επηκουσεν ο θεος της φωνης μανωε και παρεγενετο ο αγγελος του θεου ετι προς την γυναικα αυτης καθημενης εν τω αγρω και μανωε ο ανηρ αυτης ουκ ην 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 εταχυνεν η γυνη και εξεδραμεν και απηγγειλεν τω ανδρι αυτης και ειπεν προς αυτον ιδου ωπται μοι ο ανηρ ο ελθων προς με τη ημερα εκεινη
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 ανεστη μανωε και επορευθη οπισω της γυναικος αυτου προς τον ανδρα και ειπεν αυτω ει συ ει ο ανηρ ο λαλησας προς την γυναικα και ειπεν ο αγγελος 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 μανωε νυν δη ελθοντος του ρηματος σου τι εσται το κριμα του παιδαριου και τα εργα αυτου
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 κυριου προς μανωε απο παντων ων ειπα προς την γυναικα φυλαξασθω
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 παντων οσα εκπορευεται εξ αμπελου ου φαγεται και οινον και σικερα μη πιετω και παν ακαθαρτον μη φαγετω παντα οσα ενετειλαμην αυτη φυλαξασθω
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 μανωε προς τον αγγελον κυριου βιασωμεθα δη σε και ποιησομεν ενωπιον σου εριφον 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 κυριου προς μανωε εαν βιαση με ου φαγομαι των αρτων σου και εαν ποιησης ολοκαυτωμα κυριω ανοισεις αυτο οτι ουκ εγνω μανωε οτι αγγελος κυριου εστιν
17 Manoah said to him, "What is your name, that we may honor you when your words come true?"	17 και ειπεν μανωε προς τον αγγελον κυριου τι ονομα σοι ινα οταν ελθη το ρημα σου δοξασωμεν σε
18 The angel of the LORD answered him, "Why do you ask my name, which is mysterious?"	18 και ειπεν αυτω ο αγγελος κυριου ινα τι τουτο ερωτας το ονομα μου και αυτο εστιν 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 και ελαβεν μανωε τον εριφον των αιγων και την θυσιαν και ανηνεγκεν επι την πετραν τω κυριω τω θαυμαστα ποιουντι κυριω και μανωε και η γυνη αυτου εθεωρουν
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 και εγενετο εν τω αναβηναι την φλογα επανωθεν του θυσιαστηριου εις τον ουρανον και ανεβη ο αγγελος κυριου εν τη φλογι και μανωε και η γυνη αυτου εθεωρουν και επεσον επι προσωπον αυτων 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 ου προσεθηκεν ετι ο αγγελος κυριου οφθηναι προς μανωε και προς την γυναικα αυτου τοτε εγνω μανωε οτι αγγελος κυριου εστιν
22 said to his wife, "We will certainly die, for we have seen God."	22 και ειπεν μανωε προς την γυναικα αυτου θανατω αποθανουμεθα οτι θεον εωρακαμεν
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 και ειπεν αυτω η γυνη αυτου ει εβουλετο κυριος θανατωσαι ημας ουκ αν εδεξατο εκ των χειρων ημων ολοκαυτωμα και θυσιαν και ουκ αν εφωτισεν ημας παντα ταυτα και ουκ αν ακουστα εποιησεν ημιν ταυτα
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up and the LORD blessed him;	24 και ετεκεν η γυνη υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου σαμψων και ηυλογησεν αυτον κυριος και ηυξηθη το παιδαριον
25 the spirit of the LORD first stirred him in Mahaneh-dan, which is between Zorah and Eshtaol.	25 και ηρξατο πνευμα κυριου συμπορευεσθαι αυτω εν παρεμβολη δαν ανα μεσον σαραα και ανα μεσον εσθαολ
