¹ Nanao ze raty teo amaso Yaveh ndraike ty vahoake Israely, ka natolone teo antagna reo Filistina zisike ty efapolo tao iereo. ² Nisy lahilahy raike bakagne Zora, bakamity foko reo Danita, Manoa ro agnarane. Tsy afake nibevoka ty valineka le tsy niterake re. ³ Niboake tamin-drampela ty anjele Yaveh ka nanao tamine hoe:" Ingo amizao, tsy afake nibevoka riha, naho tsy niterake, nefa hobevoka riha naho hiterake ajalahy. ⁴ Naho miambena mba tsy hino divay na zaka-finome mahere, naho ko mihina zaka maloto. ⁵ Ingo, hobevoka riha naho hiterake ajalahy. Tsy hisy fiharatre asae amity lohane, satria Nazirita ho an'Agnahare zisikagne antroke ty kolo, naho re ro hanomboke hagnafake ty Israely eo antagna reo Filistina." ⁶ Naho niavy rampela ka nirehake tamity valine hoe:" Nisy lahilahin'Agnahare niavy tamiko, naho manahake ty anjelin'Agnahare ty fihisaha aze, tena mampatahotre. Tsy nangnontane aze ty niaviane raho, naho tsy nirehake tamiko ty agnarane re. ⁷ Le hoe re tamiko hoe:" Ingo! Hobevoka, naho hiterake ajalahy riha. Ka laha zao le ko mino divay na zaka-finome mahere, naho ko mihina sakafo ze ambara ty lalana fa maloto, satria ty kolo le ho Nazarita ho an'Agnahare manomboke amity andro maha ao antroke aze ka zisikamity andro hifatezane." ⁸ Le nivavake tamy Yaveh7 ty Manoa ka nanao hoe:" Tompo o, mba engao ty lahilahin'Agnahare nirahenao hihere aminay ndraike mba hagnanarane anay ze tokone hataonay amity kolo aze hoterake tsy ho ela." ⁹ Namale ty vavake Manoa Yaveh, ka niavy tamin-drampela ndraike ty anjelen'Agnahare laha nitoboke tagne ambaibo re. Nefa tsy niarake tamine ty Manoa valine. ¹⁰ Ka nilay mafe rampela naho nirehake ty valine hoe:" Ingo! Niboake tamiko ty anjele_lahy ty niavy tamiko indraike igne!" ¹¹ Le nitsanga ty Manoa ka nagnorike valine. Laha fa niavy teo amity lahilahy re, le hoe re ty hoe:" Iriha vao ty lahilahy nirehake tamity valiko?" Le hoe ralahilahy hoe:" Izaho ro ie." ¹² Ka le hoeManoa ty hoe:" Amizao ho lefe anie reo rehanao. Ino ro ho fotsipike amity kolo, naho ino ro ho asane?" ¹³ Hoe ty anjely Yaveh tamy Manoa ty hoe:" Tsy maintsy hanao ampiambena ty zaka-iaby ze nirehafeko tamine re. ¹⁴ Tsy afake mihina na ino ino ze bakamity voaloboke re, naho ko enga mino divay na zaka-finome mahere; ko enga mihina sakafo ze namabara ty lalana fa maloto re. Tokone hagnenke ty zaka iaby nandiliako aze hataone re." ¹⁵ Hoe ty Manoa tamity anjele Yaveh hoe:" Mba mijanogna kele rie, mba hagnomea fotoa anay hikarakara ana'ose hoanao." ¹⁶ Hoe ty anjele Yaveh tamy Manoa hoe:" Na le hijano aza raho, le tsy hihina ty sakafonao kea. Fa laha magnoma fagnatetre oroa riha, le atoloro ho ahy Yaveh zay."(Tsy hay Manoa fa anjele Yaveh re.) ¹⁷ Le hoe ty Manoa tamity anjele Yaveh hoe:" Ia ro agnaranao, mba hahafahanay magnomea hasy anao laha fa lefe reo rehanao?" ¹⁸ Le heo ty anjele Yaveh tamine hoe:" Nagnino ro magnontane ty agnarako riha? Soasoa zay!" ¹⁹ Naho nalae Manoa niarake tamity fagnatetre hohane ty anak'ose ka natolone teo ambone vatolampy ho ahy Yaveh reo. Nanao zaka-mahagaga re laha igne nanente igne ty Manoa vaho ty valine. ²⁰ Laha fa niakatre bakeo amity alitara nimbaeo andagnitse ty lelan'afo, le niakatre tao agnate ty lelan'afo ty alitara ty anjele Yaveh. Nahisake zay Manoa vaho ty valine naho nampihohoke ty tarehe iereo tamity tane. ²¹ Tsy niseho tamy Manoa vaho ty valine sase ty anjele Yaveh. Naho hay Manoa fa anjele Yaveh re. ²² Hoe ty Manoa tamity valine hoe:" Ho mate vatane tika, satria niseho tamintika Zagnahare!" ²³ Nefa hoe ty valine tamine:" Laha te hamono antika Zagnahare, le tsy nandrae ty fagnatetre oroa vaho ty fagnatetre hohane nomeantika aze re. Tsy tokone nanoro antika rey zaka iaby rey re, na nagnenga antika haharey zaka hoe zay amize andro zao." ²⁴ Tafara atoy le niterake ajalahy rampela, naho nataone hoe Samsona ty agnarane. Nihabey ty kolo naho nitahy aze Yaveh. ²⁵ Nanomboke nagnetseke aze tagne Mahana-dana ty fagnahin'Agnahare, teo agnoloa i Zora vaho Estaola.
