1 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. SAMSON - Judge. Birth. Jdg.13.1-25וַיֹּסִפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשֹׂות הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה׃ ף
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children.  וַיְהִי אִישׁ אֶחָד מִצָּרְעָה מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי וּשְׁמֹו מָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלָדָה׃
3 And the angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have no children; but you shall conceive and bear a son.  וַיֵּרָא מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ הִנֵּה־נָא אַתְּ־עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלַדְתְּ וְהָרִית וְיָלַדְתְּ בֵּן׃
4 Therefore beware, and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean,  וְעַתָּה הִשָּׁמְרִי נָא וְאַל־תִּשְׁתִּי יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר וְאַל־תֹּאכְלִי כָּל־טָמֵא׃
5 for lo, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines."  כִּי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וּמֹורָה לֹא־יַעֲלֶה עַל־רֹאשֹׁו כִּי־נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן־הַבָּטֶן וְהוּא יָחֵל לְהֹושִׁיעַ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, "A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name;  וַתָּבֹא הָאִשָּׁה וַתֹּאמֶר לְאִישָׁהּ לֵאמֹר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים בָּא אֵלַי וּמַרְאֵהוּ כְּמַרְאֵה מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים נֹורָא מְאֹד וְלֹא שְׁאִלְתִּיהוּ אֵי־מִזֶּה הוּא וְאֶת־שְׁמֹו לֹא־הִגִּיד לִי׃
7 but he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; so then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth to the day of his death.' "  וַיֹּאמֶר לִי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וְעַתָּה אַל־תִּשְׁתִּי יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר וְאַל־תֹּאכְלִי כָּל־טֻמְאָה כִּי־נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן־הַבֶּטֶן עַד־יֹום מֹותֹו׃ ף
8 Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we are to do with the boy that will be born."  וַיֶּעְתַּר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר בִּי אֲדֹונָי אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַחְתָּ יָבֹוא־נָא עֹוד אֵלֵינוּ וְיֹורֵנוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה לַנַּעַר הַיּוּלָּד׃
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.  וַיִּשְׁמַע הָאֱלֹהִים בְּקֹול מָנֹוחַ וַיָּבֹא מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹוד אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וְהִיא יֹושֶׁבֶת בַּשָּׂדֶה וּמָנֹוחַ אִישָׁהּ אֵין עִמָּהּ׃
10 And the woman ran in haste and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."  וַתְּמַהֵר הָאִשָּׁה וַתָּרָץ וַתַּגֵּד לְאִישָׁהּ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה נִרְאָה אֵלַי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־בָּא בַיֹּום אֵלָי׃
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."  וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ מָנֹוחַ אַחֲרֵי אִשְׁתֹּו וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הָאִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו הַאַתָּה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אָנִי׃
12 And Manoah said, "Now when your words come true, what is to be the boy's manner of life, and what is he to do?"  וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ עַתָּה יָבֹא דְבָרֶיךָ מַה־יִּהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט־הַנַּעַר וּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ׃
13 And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.  וַיֹּאמֶר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־אָמַרְתִּי אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה תִּשָּׁמֵר׃
14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."  מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יֵצֵא מִגֶּפֶן הַיַּיִן לֹא תֹאכַל וְיַיִן וְשֵׁכָר אַל־תֵּשְׁתְּ וְכָל־טֻמְאָה אַל־תֹּאכַל כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־צִוִּיתִיהָ תִּשְׁמֹר׃
15 Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, "Pray, let us detain you, and prepare a kid for you."  וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה נַעְצְרָה־נָּא אֹותָךְ וְנַעֲשֶׂה לְפָנֶיךָ גְּדִי עִזִּים׃
16 And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, "If you detain me, I will not eat of your food; but if you make ready a burnt offering, then offer it to Yahweh." (For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Yahweh.)  וַיֹּאמֶר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ אִם־תַּעְצְרֵנִי לֹא־אֹכַל בְּלַחְמֶךָ וְאִם־תַּעֲשֶׂה עֹלָה לַיהוָה תַּעֲלֶנָּה כִּי לֹא־יָדַע מָנֹוחַ כִּי־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הוּא׃
17 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, "What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honour you?"  וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה מִי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־יָבֹא [כ= דִבְרֵיךָ] [ק= דְבָרְךָ] וְכִבַּדְנוּךָ׃
18 And the angel of Yahweh said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"  וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה לָמָּה זֶּה תִּשְׁאַל לִשְׁמִי וְהוּא־פֶלִאי׃ ס
19 So Manoah took the kid with the cereal offering, and offered it upon the rock to Yahweh, to him who works wonders.  וַיִּקַּח מָנֹוחַ אֶת־גְּדִי הָעִזִּים וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה וַיַּעַל עַל־הַצּוּר לַיהוָה וּמַפְלִא לַעֲשֹׂות וּמָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו רֹאִים׃
20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar while Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.  וַיְהִי בַעֲלֹות הַלַּהַב מֵעַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיַּעַל מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה בְּלַהַב הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וּמָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו רֹאִים וַיִּפְּלוּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם אָרְצָה׃
21 The angel of Yahweh appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.  וְלֹא־יָסַף עֹוד מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה לְהֵרָאֹה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ וְאֶל־אִשְׁתֹּו אָז יָדַע מָנֹוחַ כִּי־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הוּא׃
22 And Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God."  וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־אִשְׁתֹּו מֹות נָמוּת כִּי אֱלֹהִים רָאִינוּ׃
23 But his wife said to him, "If Yahweh had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a cereal offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these."  וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אִשְׁתֹּו לוּ חָפֵץ יְהוָה לַהֲמִיתֵנוּ לֹא־לָקַח מִיָּדֵנוּ עֹלָה וּמִנְחָה וְלֹא הֶרְאָנוּ אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה וְכָעֵת לֹא הִשְׁמִיעָנוּ כָּזֹאת׃
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the boy grew, and Yahweh blessed him.  וַתֵּלֶד הָאִשָּׁה בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמֹו שִׁמְשֹׁון וַיִּגְדַּל הַנַּעַר וַיְבָרְכֵהוּ יְהוָה׃
25 And the Spirit of Yahweh began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.  וַתָּחֶל רוּחַ יְהוָה לְפַעֲמֹו בְּמַחֲנֵה־דָן בֵּין צָרְעָה וּבֵין אֶשְׁתָּאֹל׃ ף

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
