1 А синови Израиљеви опет чинише што је зло пред Господом, и Господ их даде у руке Филистејима за четрдесет година.
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 А беше један човек од Сараје од племена синова Данових, по имену Маноје, и жена му беше нероткиња, и не рађаше.
2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
3 Тој жени јави се анђео Господњи и рече јој: Гле, ти си сад нероткиња, и ниси рађала; али ћеш затруднети и родићеш сина.
3 Yahweh’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 Него сада чувај се да не пијеш вино ни силовито пиће, и да не једеш ништа нечисто.
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing;
5 Јер гле, затруднећеш, и родићеш сина, и бритва да не пређе по његовој глави, јер ће дете бити назиреј Божји од утробе материне, и он ће почети избављати Израиља из руку филистејских.
5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
6 И жена дође и рече мужу свом говорећи: Човек Божји дође к мени, и лице му беше као лице анђела Божјег, врло страшно; али га не запитах одакле је, нити ми он каза своје име.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
7 Него ми рече: Гле, ти ћеш затруднети, и родићеш сина; зато сада не пиј вино ни силовито пиће и не једи ништа нечисто; јер ће дете бити назиреј Божји од утробе материне па до смрти.
7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
8 Тада се Маноје помоли Господу и рече: О Господе! Нека опет дође к нама човек Божји, ког си слао, да нас научи шта ћемо чинити са дететом, кад се роди.
8 Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
9 И услиши Господ глас Манојев; и дође опет анђео Господњи к жени кад сеђаше у пољу; а Маноје муж њен не беше код ње.
9 God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah, her husband, wasn’t with her.
10 Тада жена брже отрча и јави мужу свом говорећи му: Ево, јави ми се онај човек, који ми је пре долазио.
10 The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
11 А Маноје уставши пође са женом својом; и кад дође к човеку, рече му: Јеси ли ти онај човек што је говорио овој жени? Он одговори: Јесам.
11 Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
12 А Маноје рече: Кад буде шта си казао, како ће бити правило за дете и шта ће чинити с њим?
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
13 А анђео Господњи рече Маноју: Жена нека се чува од свега што сам јој казао.
13 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14 Нека не једе ништа што долази с винове лозе, и вино ни силовито пиће нека не пије, и ништа нечисто нека не једе. Шта сам јој заповедио све нека држи.
14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
15 Тада рече Маноје анђелу Господњем: Ради бисмо те уставити да ти зготовимо јаре,
15 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
16 а анђео Господњи одговори Маноју: Да ме и уставиш, нећу јести твоје јело; него ако хоћеш зготови жртву паљеницу, принеси је Господу. Јер Маноје није знао да је анђео Господњи.
16 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.
17 Опет рече Маноје анђелу Господњем: Како ти је име? Да ти захвалимо кад се збуде шта си рекао.
17 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
18 А анђео Господњи одговори му: Што питаш за име моје? Чудно је.
18 Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
19 Тада Маноје узе јаре и дар, и принесе Господу на стени; а анђео учини чудо пред Маном и женом његовом;
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
20 јер кад се подиже пламен с олтара к небу, анђео Господњи подиже се у пламену с олтара; а Маноје и жена његова видећи то падоше ничице на земљу.
20 For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21 А анђео се Господњи не јави више Маноју ни жени његовој. Тада Маноје разуме да је анђео Господњи.
21 But Yahweh’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was Yahweh’s angel.
22 И рече Маноје жени својој: Зацело ћемо умрети, јер видесмо Бога.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
23 А жена му рече: Кад би хтео Бог да нас убије, не би примио из наших руку жртву паљеницу ни дар, нити би нам показао све ово, нити би нам сад објавио такве ствари.
23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
24 И тако та жена роди сина, и наде му име Самсон; и дете одрасте, и Господ га благослови.
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
25 И дух Господњи поче ходити с њим по логору Дановом, између Сараје и Естаола.
25 Yahweh’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… not amazed at Manoah the Judge of yore, and at Peter the disciple in later days; the one being unable to endure the sight even of one in whom was a representation of God; and saying, "We are undone, O wife, we have seen God;" speaking as though even a vision of God could not be grasped by human beings, …
