Judges 13

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.	1 ثم عاد بنو اسرائيل يعملون الشر في عيني الرب فدفعهم الرب ليد الفلسطينيين اربعين سنة
2 Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.	2 وكان رجل من صرعة من عشيرة الدانيين اسمه منوح وامرأته عاقر لم تلد.
3 And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.	3 فتراءى ملاك الرب للمرأة وقال لها. ها انت عاقر لم تلدي. ولكنك تحبلين وتلدين ابنا.
4 Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.	4 والآن فاحذري ولا تشربي خمرا ولا مسكرا ولا تأكلي شيئا نجسا.
5 Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.	5 فها انك تحبلين وتلدين ابنا ولا يعل موسى رأسه لان الصبي يكون نذيرا لله من البطن وهو يبدأ يخلص اسرائيل من يد الفلسطينيين.
6 And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.	6 فدخلت المرأة وكلمت رجلها قائلة. جاء اليّ رجل الله ومنظره كمنظر ملاك الله مرهب جدا. ولم اسأله من اين هو ولا هو اخبرني عن اسمه.
7 But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death.	7 وقال لي ها انت تحبلين وتلدين ابنا. والآن فلا تشربي خمرا ولا مسكرا ولا تأكلي شيئا نجسا. لان الصبي يكون نذيرا للّه من البطن الى يوم موته
8 Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.	8 فصلّى منوح الى الرب وقال اسألك يا سيدي ان يأتي ايضا الينا رجل الله الذي ارسلته ويعلمنا ماذا نعمل للصبي الذي يولد.
9 And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,	9 فسمع الله لصوت منوح فجاء ملاك الله ايضا الى المرأة وهي جالسة في الحقل ومنوح رجلها ليس معها.
10 She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.	10 فاسرعت المرأة وركضت واخبرت رجلها وقالت له هوذا قد تراءى لي الرجل الذي جاء اليّ ذلك اليوم.
11 He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.	11 فقام منوح وسار وراء امرأته وجاء الى الرجل وقال له أانت الرجل الذي تكلم مع المرأة. فقال انا هو.
12 And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?	12 فقال منوح. عند مجيء كلامك ماذا يكون حكم الصبي ومعاملته.
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:	13 فقال ملاك الرب لمنوح. من كل ما قلت للمرأة فلتحتفظ.
14 And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe.	14 من كل ما يخرج من جفنة الخمر لا تأكل وخمرا ومسكرا لا تشرب وكل نجس لا تأكل. لتحذر من كل ما اوصيتها
15 And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.	15 فقال منوح لملاك الرب دعنا نعوقك ونعمل لك جدي معزى.
16 And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.	16 فقال ملاك الرب لمنوح ولو عوقتني لا آكل من خبزك وان عملت محرقة فللرب اصعدها. لان منوح لم يعلم انه ملاك الرب.
17 And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?	17 فقال منوح لملاك الرب ما اسمك حتى اذا جاء كلامك نكرمك.
18 And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?	18 فقال له ملاك الرب لماذا تسأل عن اسمي وهو عجيب.
19 Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.	19 فاخذ منوح جدي المعزى والتقدمة واصعدهما على الصخرة للرب. فعمل عملا عجيبا ومنوح وامرأته ينظران.
20 And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.	20 فكان عند صعود اللهيب عن المذبح نحو السماء ان ملاك الرب صعد في لهيب المذبح ومنوح وامرأته ينظران فسقطا على وجهيهما الى الارض.
21 And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,	21 ولم يعد ملاك الرب يتراءى لمنوح وامرأته. حينئذ عرف منوح انه ملاك الرب.
22 And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.	22 فقال منوح لامرأته نموت موتا لاننا قد رأينا الله.
23 And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.	23 فقالت له امرأته لو اراد الرب ان يميتنا لما اخذ من يدنا محرقة وتقدمة ولما ارانا كل هذه ولما كان في مثل هذا الوقت اسمعنا مثل هذه.
24 And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.	24 فولدت المرأة ابنا ودعت اسمه شمشون. فكبر الصبي وباركه الرب.
25 And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.	25 وابتدأ روح الرب يحركه في محلّة دان بين صرعة واشتأول
