New International Version (NIV) |
|
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
|
15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you."
|
|
16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
|
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, offer it to the LORD." (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the LORD.)
|
|
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour ?
|
17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"
|
|
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret ?
|
18 He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding. "
