Angel fortelleth Manue his wife, that she shal haue a sonne, and that he
shal be a Nazareite from his birth. 11. confirmeth the same to Manue. 16.
They offer sacrifice to God. 24. The childe is borne, called Samson, and

1 And againe the children of Israel did euil in the sight of
our Lord: who deliuered them into the handes of the
Philisthimes fourtie yeares.
2 And there was a certaine man
of Saraa, and of the stocke of Dan, named Manue, hauing a
wife barren.
3 To whom an Angel of our Lord appeared,
and said to her: Thou art barren and without children: but

thou note drinke not wine & sicer, nor eate any vncleane thing:
5 because thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, whose head
the raser shal not touch: for he shal be a Nazareite of God,
note from his infancie, and from his mothers wombe, and he
shal beginne to deliuer Israel from the handes of the Philistijmes.
6 Who when she was come to her husband, said to
him: A man of God came to me, hauing an Angelical contenance,
exceeding terrible. Whom when I had asked, who
he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called,
he would not tel me:
7 but this he answered: Behold
thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne: beware thou drinke
not wine, nor sicer, and that thou eate not any vncleane
thing: for the child shal be the Nazereite of God from his
infancie, and from his mothers wombe vntil the day of his
death.
8 Manue therfore prayed to our Lord, and said: I
besech thee รด Lord, that the man of God, whom thou didst
send, may come againe, and teach vs what we ought to doe
concerning the child, that shal be borne.
9 And our Lord
heard Manue praying, and the Angel of our Lord appeared
againe to his wife sitting in the field. but Manue her husband
was not with her. Who when she had seene the Angel,
10 hastened,
and ranne to her husband: and she told him, saying:
Behold09Q0182 the man hath appeared to me, whom I saw before.
11 Who rose, and folowed his wife: and comming to the man,
said to him: Art thou he that didst speake to the woman?
And he answered: I am.
12 To whom Manue, when, sayd he,
thy word shal be fulfilled, what wilt thou that the child doe?
or from what shal he keepe him self?
13 And the Angel of
our Lord said to Manue: From al thinges, which I haue spoken
to thy wife, let him refraine him self:
14 and whatsoeuer
groweth of the vineyard, let him not eate: wine and sicer let
him not drinke, let him not eate any vncleane thing: and
whatsoeuer I haue commanded her, let him fulfil and keepe.
15 And Manue said to the Angel of our Lord: I besech thee
that thou condescend to my petitions, and let vs note make to
thee a kidde of goates.
16 To whom the Angel answered: If
thou constraine me, I wil not eate thy breade: but if thou
wilt make holocaust, offer it to our Lord. And Manue knew
not that it was an Angel of our Lord.
17 And he said to him:
What is thy name, that, if thy word shal be fulfilled, we may
honour thee?
18 To whom he answered: Why askest thou
-- --
Samson.
my name, which is merueilous?
19 Manue therfore tooke a
kidde of the goates, and the libamentes, and put them vpon
a rocke, offering to our Lord, who doeth meruelous thinges:
and he and his wife looked on.
20 And when the flame of
the altar ascended into heauen, the Angel of our Lord ascended
together in the flame. Which when Manue and his wife
had seene, they fel flatte on the ground,
21 and the Angel of
our Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue
vnderstood that it was an Angel of our Lord,
22 and he said to
his wife: Dying we shal die, because we haue seene note God.
23 To whom his wife answered: If our Lord would haue killed
vs, he would not haue taken of our handes holocaustes
and libamentes, neither would he haue shewed vs al these
thinges, nor haue told vs these thinges that are to come.
24 She
therfore bare a sonne, and called his name Samson. And the
child grewe, and our Lord blessed him.
25 And the Spirit of
our Lord beganne to be with him in the campe of Dan
betwixt Saraa and Esthaol.
