Judges 13

KJV

1  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ again³²⁵⁴ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And there was¹⁹⁶¹ a certain²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ of Zorah,^{4480 6681} of the family^{4480 4940} of the Danites,¹⁸³⁹ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Manoah;⁴⁴⁹⁵ and his wife⁸⁰² was barren,⁶¹³⁵ and bore³²⁰⁵ not.³⁸⁰⁸

3  And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ the woman,⁸⁰² and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ art barren,⁶¹³⁵ and bearest³²⁰⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸ but thou shalt conceive,²⁰²⁹ and bear³²⁰⁵ a son.¹¹²¹

4  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore beware,⁸¹⁰⁴ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ not⁴⁰⁸ wine³¹⁹⁶ nor strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ and eat³⁹⁸ not⁴⁰⁸ any³⁶⁰⁵ unclean²⁹³¹ thing:

5  For,³⁵⁸⁸ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt conceive,²⁰²⁹ and bear³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and no³⁸⁰⁸ razor⁴¹⁷⁷ shall come⁵⁹²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ his head:⁷²¹⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the child⁵²⁸⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a Nazarite⁵¹³⁹ unto God⁴³⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the womb:⁹⁹⁰ and he¹⁹³¹ shall begin²⁴⁹⁰ to deliver^{3467 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

6  Then the woman⁸⁰² came⁹³⁵ and told⁵⁵⁹ her husband,³⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ A man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me, and his countenance⁴⁷⁵⁸ was like the countenance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ very³⁹⁶⁶ terrible:³³⁷² but I asked⁷⁵⁹² him not³⁸⁰⁸ whence^{335 4480 2088} he¹⁹³¹ was, neither³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ he me his name:⁸⁰³⁴

7  But he said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt conceive,²⁰²⁹ and bear³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and now⁶²⁵⁸ drink⁸³⁵⁴ no⁴⁰⁸ wine³¹⁹⁶ nor strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ any³⁶⁰⁵ unclean²⁹³² thing: for³⁵⁸⁸ the child⁵²⁸⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a Nazarite⁵¹³⁹ to God⁴³⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the womb⁹⁹⁰ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the day³¹¹⁷ of his death.⁴¹⁹⁴

8  Then Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ entreated^{6279 413} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O⁹⁹⁴ my Lord,¹³⁶ let the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ thou didst send⁷⁹⁷¹ come⁹³⁵ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ us, and teach³³⁸⁴ us what⁴¹⁰⁰ we shall do⁶²¹³ unto the child⁵²⁸⁸ that shall be born.³²⁰⁵

9  And God⁴³⁰ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of Manoah;⁴⁴⁹⁵ and the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ the woman⁸⁰² as she¹⁹³¹ sat³⁴²⁷ in the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ but Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ her husband³⁷⁶ was not³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ her.

10  And the woman⁸⁰² made haste,⁴¹¹⁶ and ran,⁷³²³ and showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ her husband,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the man³⁷⁶ hath appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ me, that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me the other day.³¹¹⁷

11  And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ his wife,⁸⁰² and came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the man,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou⁸⁵⁹ the man³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the woman?⁸⁰² And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ am.

12  And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ Now⁶²⁵⁸ let thy words¹⁶⁹⁷ come to pass.⁹³⁵ How⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we order^{1961 4941} the child,⁵²⁸⁸ and how shall we do⁴⁶³⁹ unto him?

13  And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Manoah,⁴⁴⁹⁵ Of all^{4480 3605} that⁸³⁴ I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the woman⁸⁰² let her beware.⁸¹⁰⁴

14  She may not³⁸⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ of any^{4480 3605} thing that⁸³⁴ cometh³³¹⁸ of the vine,^{4480 1612} neither⁴⁰⁸ let her drink⁸³⁵⁴ wine³¹⁹⁶ or strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ nor⁴⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ any³⁶⁰⁵ unclean²⁹³² thing: all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ her let her observe.⁸¹⁰⁴

15  And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let us detain⁶¹¹³ thee, until we shall have made ready⁶²¹³ a kid^{1423 5795} for⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee.

16  And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Manoah,⁴⁴⁹⁵ Though⁵¹⁸ thou detain⁶¹¹³ me, I will not³⁸⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ of thy bread:³⁸⁹⁹ and if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt offer⁶²¹³ a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ thou must offer⁵⁹²⁷ it unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ For³⁵⁸⁸ Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

17  And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ What⁴³¹⁰ is thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ that when³⁵⁸⁸ thy sayings¹⁶⁹⁷ come to pass⁹³⁵ we may do thee honor?³⁵¹³

18  And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ askest⁷⁵⁹² thou thus²⁰⁸⁸ after my name,⁸⁰³⁴ seeing it¹⁹³¹ is secret?⁶³⁸³

19  So Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ took^{3947 853} a kid^{1423 5795} with⁸⁵⁴ a meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ it upon⁵⁹²¹ a rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and the angel did⁶²¹³ wondrously;⁶³⁸¹ and Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ and his wife⁸⁰² looked on.⁷²⁰⁰

20  For it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the flame³⁸⁵¹ went up⁵⁹²⁷ toward heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ from off^{4480 5921} the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ ascended⁵⁹²⁷ in the flame³⁸⁵¹ of the altar.⁴¹⁹⁶ And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ and his wife⁸⁰² looked on⁷²⁰⁰ it, and fell⁵³⁰⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ to the ground.⁷⁷⁶

21  But the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ did no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ appear⁷²⁰⁰ to⁴¹³ Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ and to⁴¹³ his wife.⁸⁰² Then²²⁷ Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  And Manoah⁴⁴⁹⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his wife,⁸⁰² We shall surely die,^{4191 4191} because³⁵⁸⁸ we have seen⁷²⁰⁰ God.⁴³⁰

23  But his wife⁸⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, If³⁸⁶³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ were pleased²⁶⁵⁴ to kill⁴¹⁹¹ us, he would not³⁸⁰⁸ have received³⁹⁴⁷ a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and a meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ at our hands,^{4480 3027} neither³⁸⁰⁸ would he have showed⁷²⁰⁰ us ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things, nor³⁸⁰⁸ would as at this time⁶²⁵⁶ have told⁸⁰⁸⁵ us such things as these.²⁰⁶³

24  And the woman⁸⁰² bore³²⁰⁵ a son,¹¹²¹ and called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Samson:⁸¹²³ and the child⁵²⁸⁸ grew,¹⁴³¹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ blessed¹²⁸⁸ him.

25  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ began²⁴⁹⁰ to move⁶⁴⁷⁰ him at times in the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of Dan¹⁸³⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ Zorah⁶⁸⁸¹ and Eshtaol.⁸⁴⁷

1 καὶ προσέθηκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιιμ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

2 καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Σαραα ἀπὸ δήμου συγγενείας τοῦ Δανι καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μανωε καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἔτεκεν

3 καὶ ὤφθη ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν ἰδοὺ σὺ στεῖρα καὶ οὐ τέτοκας καὶ συλλήμψῃ υἱόν

4 καὶ νῦν φύλαξαι δὴ καὶ μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον

5 ὅτι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ναζιρ θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ τῆς κοιλίας καὶ αὐτὸς ἄρξεται τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς Φυλιστιιμ

6 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς λέγουσα ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ ἦλθεν πρός με καὶ εἶδος αὐτοῦ ὡς εἶδος ἀγγέλου θεοῦ φοβερὸν σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἠρώτησα αὐτόν πόθεν ἐστίν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλέν μοι

7 καὶ εἶπέν μοι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ νῦν μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον ὅτι ἅγιον θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ γαστρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ προσηύξατο Μανωε πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἐμοί κύριε Αδωναιε τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ ὃν ἀπέστειλας ἐλθέτω δὴ ἔτι πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ συμβιβασάτω ἡμᾶς τί ποιήσωμεν τῷ παιδίῳ τῷ τικτομένῳ

9 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς Μανωε καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ ἔτι πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ αὕτη ἐκάθητο ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ Μανωε ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῆς

10 καὶ ἐτάχυνεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔδραμεν καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ ὦπται πρός με ὁ ἀνήρ ὃς ἦλθεν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πρός με

11 καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Μανωε ὀπίσω τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἐγώ

12 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε νῦν ἐλεύσεται ὁ λόγος σου τίς ἔσται κρίσις τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ

13 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν εἴρηκα πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα φυλάξεται

14 ἀπὸ παντός ὃ ἐκπορεύεται ἐξ ἀμπέλου τοῦ οἴνου οὐ φάγεται καὶ οἶνον καὶ σικερα μέθυσμα μὴ πιέτω καὶ πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον μὴ φαγέτω πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῇ φυλάξεται

15 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου κατάσχωμεν ὧδέ σε καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐνώπιόν σου ἔριφον αἰγῶν

16 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἐὰν κατάσχῃς με οὐ φάγομαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρτων σου καὶ ἐὰν ποιήσῃς ὁλοκαύτωμα τῷ κυρίῳ ἀνοίσεις αὐτό ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου αὐτός

17 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου τί τὸ ὄνομά σοι ὅτι ἔλθοι τὸ ῥῆμά σου καὶ δοξάσομέν σε

18 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου εἰς τί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ αὐτό ἐστιν θαυμαστόν

19 καὶ ἔλαβεν Μανωε τὸν ἔριφον τῶν αἰγῶν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ διεχώρισεν ποιῆσαι καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες

20 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι τὴν φλόγα ἐπάνω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐν τῇ φλογὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ βλέποντες καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

21 καὶ οὐ προσέθηκεν ἔτι ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ὀφθῆναι πρὸς Μανωε καὶ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τότε ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου οὗτος

22 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ θανάτῳ ἀποθανούμεθα ὅτι θεὸν εἴδομεν

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰ ἤθελεν ὁ κύριος θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς οὐκ ἂν ἔλαβεν ἐκ χειρὸς ἡμῶν ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίαν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἔδειξεν ἡμῖν ταῦτα πάντα καὶ καθὼς καιρὸς οὐκ ἂν ἠκούτισεν ἡμᾶς ταῦτα

24 καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμψων καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸ κύριος

25 καὶ ἤρξατο πνεῦμα κυρίου συνεκπορεύεσθαι αὐτῷ ἐν παρεμβολῇ Δαν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σαραα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Εσθαολ

1 καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ ἀλλοφύλων τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

2 καὶ ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ ἐκ Σαραα ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς τοῦ Δαν καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἔτικτεν

3 καὶ ὤφθη ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν ἰδοὺ δὴ σὺ στεῖρα καὶ οὐ τέτοκας καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν

4 καὶ νῦν φύλαξαι καὶ μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ σικερα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον

5 ὅτι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ οὐκ ἀναβήσεται σίδηρος ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἡγιασμένον ναζιραῖον ἔσται τῷ θεῷ τὸ παιδάριον ἐκ τῆς γαστρός καὶ αὐτὸς ἄρξεται σῴζειν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων

6 καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς λέγουσα ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἦλθεν πρός με καὶ ἡ ὅρασις αὐτοῦ ὡς ὅρασις ἀγγέλου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπιφανὴς σφόδρα καὶ ἠρώτων πόθεν ἐστίν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλέν μοι

7 καὶ εἶπέν μοι ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν καὶ νῦν μὴ πίῃς οἶνον καὶ σικερα καὶ μὴ φάγῃς πᾶσαν ἀκαθαρσίαν ὅτι ναζιραῖον θεοῦ ἔσται τὸ παιδάριον ἀπὸ τῆς γαστρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ ἐδεήθη Μανωε τοῦ κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἐμοί κύριε ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὃν ἀπέστειλας πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐλθέτω δὴ πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ φωτισάτω ἡμᾶς τί ποιήσωμεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ τικτομένῳ

9 καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς Μανωε καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ ἔτι πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτῆς καθημένης ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ Μανωε ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῆς

10 καὶ ἐτάχυνεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐξέδραμεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ ὦπταί μοι ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἐλθὼν πρός με τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ

11 καὶ ἀνέστη Μανωε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἐγώ

12 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε νῦν δὴ ἐλθόντος τοῦ ῥήματός σου τί ἔσται τὸ κρίμα τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

13 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν εἶπα πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα φυλαξάσθω

14 ἀπὸ πάντων ὅσα ἐκπορεύεται ἐξ ἀμπέλου οὐ φάγεται καὶ οἶνον καὶ σικερα μὴ πιέτω καὶ πᾶν ἀκάθαρτον μὴ φαγέτω πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῇ φυλαξάσθω

15 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου βιασώμεθα δή σε καὶ ποιήσομεν ἐνώπιόν σου ἔριφον αἰγῶν

16 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Μανωε ἐὰν βιάσῃ με οὐ φάγομαι τῶν ἄρτων σου καὶ ἐὰν ποιήσῃς ὁλοκαύτωμα κυρίῳ ἀνοίσεις αὐτό ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐστίν

17 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου τί ὄνομά σοι ἵνα ὅταν ἔλθῃ τὸ ῥῆμά σου δοξάσωμέν σε

18 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ αὐτό ἐστιν θαυμαστόν

19 καὶ ἔλαβεν Μανωε τὸν ἔριφον τῶν αἰγῶν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ θαυμαστὰ ποιοῦντι κυρίῳ καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐθεώρουν

20 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι τὴν φλόγα ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐν τῇ φλογί καὶ Μανωε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐθεώρουν καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

21 καὶ οὐ προσέθηκεν ἔτι ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ὀφθῆναι πρὸς Μανωε καὶ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τότε ἔγνω Μανωε ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐστίν

22 καὶ εἶπεν Μανωε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ θανάτῳ ἀποθανούμεθα ὅτι θεὸν ἑωράκαμεν

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰ ἐβούλετο κύριος θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς οὐκ ἂν ἐδέξατο ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίαν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐφώτισεν ἡμᾶς πάντα ταῦτα καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἀκουστὰ ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν ταῦτα

24 καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμψων καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν κύριος καὶ ηὐξήθη τὸ παιδάριον

25 καὶ ἤρξατο πνεῦμα κυρίου συμπορεύεσθαι αὐτῷ ἐν παρεμβολῇ Δαν ἀνὰ μέσον Σαραα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Εσθαολ

1 Rursumque filii Israël fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini: qui tradidit eos in manus Philisthinorum quadraginta annis.

2 Erat autem quidam vir de Saraa, et de stirpe Dan, nomine Manue, habens uxorem sterilem.

3 Cui apparuit angelus Domini, et dixit ad eam: Sterilis es et absque liberis: sed concipies, et paries filium.

4 Cave ergo ne bibas vinum ac siceram, nec immundum quidquam comedas:

5 quia concipies, et paries filium, cujus non tanget caput novacula: erit enim nazaræus Dei ab infantia sua et ex matris utero, et ipse incipiet liberare Israël de manu Philisthinorum.

6 Quæ cum venisset ad maritum suum, dixit ei: Vir Dei venit ad me, habens vultum angelicum, terribilis nimis. Quem cum interrogassem quis esset, et unde venisset, et quo nomine vocaretur, noluit mihi dicere:

7 sed hoc respondit: Ecce concipies et paries filium: cave ne vinum bibas, nec siceram, et ne aliquo vescaris immundo: erit enim puer nazaræus Dei ab infantia sua, ex utero matris suæ usque ad diem mortis suæ.

8 Oravit itaque Manue Dominum, et ait: Obsecro, Domine, ut vir Dei, quem misisti, veniat iterum, et doceat nos quid debeamus facere de puero, qui nasciturus est.

9 Exaudivitque Dominus deprecantem Manue, et apparuit rursum angelus Dei uxori ejus sedenti in agro: Manue autem maritus ejus non erat cum ea. Quæ cum vidisset angelum,

10 festinavit, et cucurrit ad virum suum: nuntiavitque ei, dicens: Ecce apparuit mihi vir, quem ante videram.

11 Qui surrexit, et secutus est uxorem suam: veniensque ad virum, dixit ei: Tu es qui locutus es mulieri? Et ille respondit: Ego sum.

12 Cui Manue: Quando, inquit, sermo tuus fuerit expletus, quid vis ut faciat puer? aut a quo se observare debebit?

13 Dixitque angelus Domini ad Manue: Ab omnibus, quæ locutus sum uxori tuæ, abstineat se,

14 et quidquid ex vinea nascitur, non comedat: vinum et siceram non bibat; nullo vescatur immundo: et quod ei præcepi, impleat atque custodiat.

15 Dixitque Manue ad angelum Domini: Obsecro te ut acquiescas precibus meis, et faciamus tibi hædum de capris.

16 Cui respondit angelus: Si me cogis, non comedam panes tuos: si autem vis holocaustum facere, offer illud Domino. Et nesciebat Manue quod angelus Domini esset.

17 Dixitque ad eum: Quod est tibi nomen, ut, si sermo tuus fuerit expletus, honoremus te?

18 Cui ille respondit: Cur quæris nomen meum, quod est mirabile?

19 Tulit itaque Manue hædum de capris, et libamenta, et posuit super petram, offerens Domino, qui facit mirabilia: ipse autem et uxor ejus intuebantur.

20 Cumque ascenderet flamma altaris in cælum, angelus Domini pariter in flamma ascendit. Quod cum vidissent Manue et uxor ejus, proni ceciderunt in terram,

21 et ultra eis non apparuit angelus Domini. Statimque intellexit Manue angelum Domini esse,

22 et dixit ad uxorem suam: Morte moriemur, quia vidimus Deum.

23 Cui respondit mulier: Si Dominus nos vellet occidere, de manibus nostris holocaustum et libamenta non suscepisset, nec ostendisset nobis hæc omnia, neque ea quæ sunt ventura dixisset.

24 Peperit itaque filium, et vocavit nomen ejus Samson. Crevitque puer, et benedixit ei Dominus.

25 Cœpitque spiritus Domini esse cum eo in castris Dan inter Saraa et Esthaol.
