Haitian Creole Version
13 ¶ Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rekonmanse ankò ap fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Seyè a lage yo nan men moun Filisti yo pandan karantan.
2 Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Manoak. Se te moun lavil Zora, li te fè pati branch fanmi Dann lan. Madanm li pa t' janm ka fè pitit.
3 Zanj Seyè a parèt devan madanm lan, li di l' konsa: -Ou pa t' janm ka fè pitit, pa vre? Men ou pral vin ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason.
4 Piga ou janm bwè diven, ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè ou sou. Nitou, piga ou manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.
5 Paske ou pral ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason. Piga ou janm koupe cheve nan tèt li, paske depi nan vant manman l', se yon gason k'ap viv apa pou Bondye tankou nazirit yo l'ap ye. Se li menm ki pral konmanse travay pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun Filisti yo.
6 Apre sa, madanm lan antre al di mari l': -Yon moun Bondye te vin bò kote m'. Lè mwen gade l', pou jan li te fè m' pè a ou ta di yon mesaje Bondye. Mwen pa mande l' kote l' soti, ni li pa ban m' non li.
7 Li di m' konsa: Ou pral ansent, ou pral fè yon pitit gason. Piga ou janm bwè diven, ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè ou sou. Ni piga ou manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje. Paske pitit gason ou lan pral viv apa pou Bondye tankou nazirit yo depi nan vant manman l' jouk jou li mouri.
8 ¶ Lè sa a, Manoak lapriyè Seyè a, li di: -Tanpri, Mèt mwen, fè moun Bondye ou te voye a vin bò kote nou ankò pou l' ka di nou sa pou nou fè pou ti gason ki pral fèt la.
9 Bondye fè sa Manoak te mande l' la vre. Epi mesaje Bondye a vin bò kote madanm lan ki te chita nan yon jaden. Manoak, mari a, pa t' avè l'.
10 Madanm lan prese kouri al bay mari l' nouvèl la. Li di li konsa: -Men moun ki te vin bò kote m' lòt jou a parèt devan m' ankò.
11 Manoak leve, li swiv madanm li. L' al jwenn nonm lan, epi li di l': -Se ou menm ki te pale ak madanm sa a? Li reponn: -Wi, se mwen.
12 -Manoak di l': -Bon. Lè tou sa ou di yo va rive, kijan pou m' elve ti pitit la? Kisa pou l' fè ak sa pou l' pa fè?
13 Mesaje Seyè a di Manoak konsa: -Se pou madanm ou fè tou sa mwen di l' fè a.
14 Piga li janm manje anyen ki fèt avèk rezen. Piga li janm bwè diven ni ankenn lòt bweson ki pou fè l' sou. Piga li janm manje anyen ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje. Se pou li fè tou sa mwen mande l' fè a.
15 ¶ Manoak di mesaje Seyè a: -Tanpri, poko ale. Kite nou kwit yon jenn ti kabrit pou ou.
16 Mesaje Seyè a di Manoak konsa: -Menm si mwen rete mwen p'ap manje manje w'ap ban mwen an. Men si ou vle, touye yon ti kabrit, boule l' nan dife tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Manoak pa t' ankò konnen si se te yon mesaje Seyè a ki te devan l'.
17 Manoak di mesaje Seyè a: -Di nou ki jan ou rele pou nou ka fè lwanj pou ou lè pawòl ou di yo va rive vre.
18 Mesaje Seyè a di l': -Poukisa nou vle konnen non m'? Non m' se yon mèvèy.
19 Manoak pran jenn ti kabrit la ak kèk grenn jaden, li mete yo sou lotèl wòch la, li ofri yo pou Seyè a ki fè yon mèvèy devan Manoak ak madanm li ki te rete la ap gade.
20 Pandan flanm dife yo t'ap soti sou lotèl la moute nan syèl la, Manoak ak madanm li wè mesaje Seyè a moute nan syèl la nan flanm dife a. Lè yo wè sa, yo lage kò yo fas atè.
21 Manoak ak madanm li pa janm wè mesaje Bondye a ankò. Se lè sa a, Manoak vin konprann se te yon mesaje Seyè a ki te parèt devan yo a.
22 Lè sa a, Manoak di madanm li: -Nou pral mouri, paske nou wè Bondye!
23 Madanm lan di l': -Si Seyè a te vle touye nou, li pa ta asepte ofrann nou fè pou li yo. Li pa ta fè nou wè tout bagay sa yo, ni li pa ta fè nou tande tout pawòl sa yo.
24 ¶ Apre sa, madanm lan fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Samson. Pitit la grandi, Seyè a te beni l'.
25 Epi lespri Seyè a konmanse travay nan li antan li te nan kan moun Dann yo, ant Soreja ak Echtawòl.

The Birth of Samson
13 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so the Lord delivered them into the hands of the Philistines(A) for forty years.(B)
2 A certain man of Zorah,(C) named Manoah,(D) from the clan of the Danites,(E) had a wife who was childless,(F) unable to give birth. 3 The angel of the Lord(G) appeared to her(H) and said, “You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.(I) 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink(J) and that you do not eat anything unclean.(K) 5 You will become pregnant and have a son(L) whose head is never to be touched by a razor(M) because the boy is to be a Nazirite,(N) dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead(O) in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”
6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, “A man of God(P) came to me. He looked like an angel of God,(Q) very awesome.(R) I didn’t ask him where he came from, and he didn’t tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, ‘You will become pregnant and have a son. Now then, drink no wine(S) or other fermented drink(T) and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.(U)’”
8 Then Manoah(V) prayed to the Lord: “Pardon your servant, Lord. I beg you to let the man of God(W) you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born.”
9 God heard Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was out in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 The woman hurried to tell her husband, “He’s here! The man who appeared to me(X) the other day!”
11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, “Are you the man who talked to my wife?”
“I am,” he said.
12 So Manoah asked him, “When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule that governs the boy’s life and work?”
13 The angel of the Lord answered, “Your wife must do all that I have told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink(Y) nor eat anything unclean.(Z) She must do everything I have commanded her.”
15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat(AA) for you.”
16 The angel of the Lord replied, “Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering,(AB) offer it to the Lord.” (Manoah did not realize(AC) that it was the angel of the Lord.)
17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the Lord, “What is your name,(AD) so that we may honor you when your word comes true?”
18 He replied, “Why do you ask my name?(AE) It is beyond understanding.[a]” 19 Then Manoah took a young goat, together with the grain offering, and sacrificed it on a rock(AF) to the Lord. And the Lord did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched: 20 As the flame(AG) blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground.(AH) 21 When the angel of the Lord did not show himself again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized(AI) that it was the angel of the Lord.
22 “We are doomed(AJ) to die!” he said to his wife. “We have seen(AK) God!”
23 But his wife answered, “If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this.”(AL)
24 The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson.(AM) He grew(AN) and the Lord blessed him,(AO) 25 and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir(AP) him while he was in Mahaneh Dan,(AQ) between Zorah and Eshtaol.

The Birth of Samson
13 And the people of Israel again (A)did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord gave them (B)into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
2 There was a certain man of (C)Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. (D)And his wife was barren and had no children. 3 (E)And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Therefore be careful (F)and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, 5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. (G)No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be (H)a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall (I)begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” 6 Then the woman came and told her husband, (J)“A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. (K)I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name, 7 but he said to me, (L)‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do with the child who will be born.” 9 And 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 was not with her. 10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.” 11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to this woman?” And he said, “I am.” 12 And Manoah said, “Now when your words come true, (M)what is to be the child's manner of life, and what is his mission?” 13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful. 14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, (N)neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. All that I commanded her let her observe.”
15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain you and (O)prepare a young goat for you.” 16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “If you detain me, I will not eat of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the Lord.” (For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the Lord.) 17 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, (P)“What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?” 18 And the angel of the Lord said to him, (Q)“Why do you ask my name, seeing (R)it is wonderful?” 19 So (S)Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord, to the one who works[a] wonders, and Manoah and his wife were watching. 20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar. Now Manoah and his wife were watching, (T)and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21 The angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. (U)Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the Lord. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, (V)“We shall surely die, for we have seen God.” 23 But his wife said to him, “If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these.” 24 And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. (W)And the young man grew, and the Lord blessed him. 25 (X)And the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between (Y)Zorah and Eshtaol.
