Judges 13
|
| 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 the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years. |
| 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. | Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child. |
| 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. | And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son. |
| Maintenant prends bien garde, ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte, et ne mange rien d`impur. | Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food; |
| 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. | For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines. |
| 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. | Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name; |
| 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. | But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death. |
| 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! | Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come. |
| 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 God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. |
| 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. | So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day. |
| 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 got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am. |
| 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 Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work? |
| L`ange de l`Éternel répondit à Manoach: La femme s`abstiendra de tout ce que je lui ai dit. | And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her. |
| 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. | She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do. |
| Manoach dit à l`ange de l`Éternel: Permets-nous de te retenir, et de t`apprêter un chevreau. | And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you. |
| 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 the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord. |
| Et Manoach dit à l`ange de l`Éternel: Quel est ton nom, afin que nous te rendions gloire, quand ta parole s`accomplira? | Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour? |
| L`ange de l`Éternel lui répondit: Pourquoi demandes-tu mon nom? Il est merveilleux. | But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder? |
| 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. | So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things. |
| 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. | And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth. |
| 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, | But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord. |
| et il dit à sa femme: Nous allons mourir, car nous avons vu Dieu. | And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen. |
| 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. | But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child. |
| La femme enfanta un fils, et lui donna le nom de Samson. L`enfant grandit, et l`Éternel le bénit. | So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him. |
| Et l`esprit de l`Éternel commença à l`agiter à Machané Dan, entre Tsorea et Eschthaol. | And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. |
