Judges 13

Juges 13
|
And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. | Les enfants d`Israël firent encore ce qui déplaît à l`Éternel; et l`Éternel les livra entre les mains des Philistins, pendant quarante ans. |
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. | Il y avait un homme de Tsorea, de la famille des Danites, et qui s`appelait Manoach. Sa femme était stérile, et n`enfantait pas. |
And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. | Un ange de l`Éternel apparut à la femme, et lui dit: Voici, tu es stérile, et tu n`as point d`enfants; tu deviendras enceinte, et tu enfanteras un fils. |
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: | Maintenant prends bien garde, ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte, et ne mange rien d`impur. |
for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. | Car tu vas devenir enceinte et tu enfanteras un fils. Le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête, parce que cet enfant sera consacré à Dieu dès le ventre de sa mère; et ce sera lui qui commencera à délivrer Israël de la main des Philistins. |
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: | La femme alla dire à son mari; Un homme de Dieu est venu vers moi, et il avait l`aspect d`un ange de Dieu, un aspect redoutable. Je ne lui ai pas demandé d`où il était, et il ne m`a pas fait connaître son nom. |
but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death. | Mais il m`a dit: Tu vas devenir enceinte, et tu enfanteras un fils; et maintenant ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte, et ne mange rien d`impur, parce que cet enfant sera consacré à Dieu dès le ventre de sa mère jusqu`au jour de sa mort. |
Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, and said, Oh, Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. | Manoach fit cette prière à l`Éternel: Ah! Seigneur, que l`homme de Dieu que tu as envoyé vienne encore vers nous, et qu`il nous enseigne ce que nous devons faire pour l`enfant qui naîtra! |
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. | Dieu exauça la prière de Manoach, et l`ange de Dieu vint encore vers la femme. Elle était assise dans un champ, et Manoach, son mari, n`était pas avec elle. |
And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day. | Elle courut promptement donner cette nouvelle à son mari, et lui dit: Voici, l`homme qui était venu l`autre jour vers moi m`est apparu. |
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. | Manoach se leva, suivit sa femme, alla vers l`homme, et lui dit: Est-ce toi qui as parlé à cette femme? Il répondit: C`est moi. |
And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and [how] shall we do unto him? | Manoach dit: Maintenant, si ta parole s`accomplit, que faudra-t-il observer à l`égard de l`enfant, et qu`y aura-t-il à faire? |
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. | L`ange de l`Éternel répondit à Manoach: La femme s`abstiendra de tout ce que je lui ai dit. |
She may not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe. | Elle ne goûtera d`aucun produit de la vigne, elle ne boira ni vin ni liqueur forte, et elle ne mangera rien d`impur; elle observera tout ce que je lui ai prescrit. |
And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee. | Manoach dit à l`ange de l`Éternel: Permets-nous de te retenir, et de t`apprêter un chevreau. |
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of Jehovah. | L`ange de l`Éternel répondit à Manoach: Quand tu me retiendrais, je ne mangerais pas de ton mets; mais si tu veux faire un holocauste, tu l`offriras à l`Éternel. Manoach ne savait point que ce fût un ange de l`Éternel. |
And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor? | Et Manoach dit à l`ange de l`Éternel: Quel est ton nom, afin que nous te rendions gloire, quand ta parole s`accomplira? |
And the angel of Jehovah said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful? | L`ange de l`Éternel lui répondit: Pourquoi demandes-tu mon nom? Il est merveilleux. |
So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto Jehovah: and [the angel] did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on. | Manoach prit le chevreau et l`offrande, et fit un sacrifice à l`Éternel sur le rocher. Il s`opéra un prodige, pendant que Manoach et sa femme regardaient. |
For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground. | Comme la flamme montait de dessus l`autel vers le ciel, l`ange de l`Éternel monta dans la flamme de l`autel. A cette vue, Manoach et sa femme tombèrent la face contre terre. |
But the angel of Jehovah did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Jehovah. | L`ange de l`Éternel n`apparut plus à Manoach et à sa femme. Alors Manoach comprit que c`était l`ange de l`Éternel, |
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. | et il dit à sa femme: Nous allons mourir, car nous avons vu Dieu. |
But his wife said unto him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these. | Sa femme lui répondit: Si l`Éternel eût voulu nous faire mourir, il n`aurait pas pris de nos mains l`holocauste et l`offrande, il ne nous aurait pas fait voir tout cela, et il ne nous aurait pas maintenant fait entendre pareilles choses. |
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him. | La femme enfanta un fils, et lui donna le nom de Samson. L`enfant grandit, et l`Éternel le bénit. |
And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. | Et l`esprit de l`Éternel commença à l`agiter à Machané Dan, entre Tsorea et Eschthaol. |
