¹

And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.

¹

И$ приложи'ша е^ще` сн~ове і^и^л~ви творити ѕл^о преD гм~ъ, и^ преда' я& в рђ'кђ филистиMскђ, м~, лTњ”

²

And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoë, and his wife was barren, and bore not.

²

И$ бя'ше мђж'ъ въ а^ўа'рњ эT племе'ни да'нова и^мя' же е^мђ мано'е. и^ жена` е^мђ бя'ше непло'ды и^ не ражDаа'ше”

³

And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, thou art barren and hast not born; yet thou shalt conceive a son.

³

И$ ја^ви'ся а^гг~лъ гн~ь къ женњ`, и^ рече к не'и. с^е ё^бот^ы непло'ды и^ не ро'ди, с^е б^о зачне'ши и^ роди'ши сн~ъ”

⁴

And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;

⁴

И$ нн~њ снабди` ё^бо. не пїи вина` н^и сике'ра, и^ не ја%жъ нечи'ста ничто'же”

⁵

for behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.

⁵

ЈА/ко с^е ты` въ ё^тро'бњ прїи'меши и^ породи'ши сн~ъ, и^ желњ'зо на гла'вђ е^го не възы'идетъ, ја%ко назире'и бв~и бђдеT с^е, ѓ^тро'ча эT чре'ва. и^ се'и начне'тъ спsти і^и^л~я и^з рђки` и^ноплеме'н#ник#”

⁶

And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was as of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.

⁶

И$ вни'де жена` и^ рече мђж'еви свое^мђ гл~юще, чл~къ бж~їи прїиде къ мнњ` и ѓ'бразъ е^го ја%ко ѓ%бразъ а^гг~ла бж~їа стра'шенъ ѕњ'ло, и^ въпраша'хъ е^го эTкђ'дђ е^си, і^ и'мени свое^го не повњ'да м^и”

⁷

And he said to me, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.

⁷

И$ рече` м^и с^е ты` въ ё^тро'бњ зачне'ши, и^ роди'ши сн~ъ. и^ нн~њ не пїи вина` ни ѓ^лови'ны и^ не ја%жъ н^ичто'же нечи'ста. ја%ко назире'ѓ^нъ б~ђ бђ'детъ ѓ^тро'чищъ, эT ё^тро'бы до дн~е смр~ти е^го”

⁸

And Manoë prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee, O Lord my Lord, concerning the man of God whom thou sentest; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.

⁸

И$ помоли'ся мано'е къ гв~и. и^ рече ЭO г~и. чл~къ бж~їи е^го'же посла`

⁹

And the Lord heard the voice of Manoë, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoë her husband was not with her.

⁹

мано'евы, и^ прїиде па'ки а^гг~лъ бж~їи к# женњ`. сїа же сњдя'ще на селњ`, мано'е же мђж'ъ е^я` не бя'ше с не'ю”

¹⁰

And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in the other day to me has appeared to me.

¹⁰

И$ пот#ща'ся жена` и^ те'кши ско'ро повњда` мђж'ђ свое^мђ, и^ рече к немђ. с^е ја^ви'ся м^и мђжъ, и^же приходи` въ дн~ь ѓ%нъ къ мнњ`”

¹¹

And Manoë arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I am.

¹¹

И$ въставъ и%де мано'е въ слDњ жены` свое^я и^ прїиде к мђж'ђ, и^ рече е^мђ. ты л^и е^си мђж'ъ гл~авыи къ женњ` мое'и, и^ рече а^гг~лъ а%зъ е^смь”

¹²

And Manoë said, Now shall thy word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?

¹²

И$ рече мано'е нн~њ ё^бо да прїидетъ сло'вотвое чт^о е^сть сђ'дъ ѓ^троча'те, и^ чт^о е^сть творе'нїе е^го”

¹³

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoë, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.

¹³

И$ рече а^гг~лъ гн~ь к# мано'еви. эT сего` е^же гл~аX женњ` да съхрани'тся эT всего`”

¹⁴

She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.

¹⁴

И$ эT всего` и^же и^схо'дитъ и^з виногра'да да не ја%сть и^ вина` и^ сике'ра да не пїе'тъ, и^ всего` нечи'ста да не ја%сть, и^ вс^е е^ли'ко заповњ'дахъ сїе да снабди'тъ”

¹⁵

And Manoë said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain thee here, and prepare before thee a kid of the goats.

¹⁵

И$ рече мано'е къ а^гг~лђ бж~їю, да т^я понђди'мъ, и^ сътвори'мъ преD тобо'ю ко'злище эT ко'зъ”

¹⁶

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoë, If thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wouldest offer a whole-burnt-offering, to the Lord thou shalt offer it: for Manoë knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.

¹⁶

И$ рече а^гг~лъ бж~їи к# мано'еви, а%ще м^я нђ'диши и^ не ја%м# хлњ'ба твое^го, н^о а%ще сътвори'ши вс^есъж#же'нїе гв~и, т^о възнеси е&. не вњ'дяше б^о мано'е ја%ко а^гг~лъ гн~ь еs”

¹⁷

And Manoë said to the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy word shall come to pass, we may glorify thee?

¹⁷

И$ реq мано'е къ а^гг~лђ гн~ю чт^оти е^сть имя твое да е^гда` събђдеTся сло'вотвое` просла'виM тя”

¹⁸

And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why dost thou thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?

¹⁸

И$ реq е^мђ а^гг~лъ гн~ь почто` с^е въпраша'еши и%мени мое^го с^е же е^сть чю'дно”

¹⁹

And Manoë took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and the angel wrought a distinct work, and Manoë and his wife were looking on.

¹⁹

И$ взя` мано'е ко'злищъ эT ко'зъ и^ тре'бђ, и^ възнесе` на ка'мень гв~и. и^ сътвори чю'дно” Мано'и же и^ жена` е^го гледњ'ста”

²⁰

And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoë and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.

²⁰

И$ быs е^гда` пла'мы взы'иде вы'ше ѓ^лтаря` до нб~се. и^ взы'иде а^гг~лъ гн~ь въ пла'мени ѓ^лтаря` мано'е же и^ жена` е^го смотря'ста, и^ падо'ста ни'цъ на зеMли`”

²¹

And the angel appeared no more to Manoë and to his wife: then Manoë knew that this was an angel of the Lord.

²¹

И$ не приложи` к# семђ а^гг~лъ гн~ь ја^ви'тиs мано'еви и^ женњ` е^го, тогда` ё^вњ'дњ мано'и ја%ко а^гг~лъ гн~ь е^сть”

²²

And Manoë said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

²²

И$ рече мано'и къ женњ` свое'и, смр~тїю ё^мревњ, ја%ко б~а видњховњ”

²³

But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to slay us, he would not have received of our hand a whole-burnt-offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shewn us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things as at this time.

²³

И$ рече е^мђ жена` е^го, а%ще бы хотњ'лъ б~ъ ёмр~твити на'ю т^о не бы` взя'лъ эT рђ'ки на'ю вс^есъж#же'нїя и^ тре'бы. и^ не бы` показа'лъ на'ма сего` всего`” И$ не бы` слы'шано с^е сътвори'лъ на'мъ и зача жена`

²⁴

And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.

²⁴

и^ роди` сн~ъ и^ нарече и%мя е^мђ самўо'нъ, и^ възмо'же ѓ^тро'ча и^ блsви е& б~ъ”

²⁵

And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.

²⁵

И$ нача'тъ дх~ъ гн~ь ходи'ти с ни'мъ, и^ въ по'лцњ да'новњ средњ сараа'ка, и^ сре'дњ е^сџеѓ%ла”
