Yosiua 17
1 Soge eno Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi ilia da Yousefe ea magobo mano Ma: na: se amo egaga fi mogili ilima ilegei. Gilia: de ea eda amo Ma: ige da Ma: na: se ea magobo mano. E da gegesu ganodini mae beda: iwane gegei. Amaiba: le, Mousese da Yodane eso mabadi la: idi soge amo Gilia: de amola Ba: isa: ne ema i dagoi.
This was the allocation to the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn son. Machir was Manasseh's firstborn son who was the father of Gilead. Because Machir had been an excellent fighter, Gilead and Bashan had already been allocated to him.
2 Be soge amo Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi diala amo Ma: na: se fi eno da lai dagoi. Amo fi da Ma: na: se (Yousefe egefe) amo egaga fi. Ilia dio da A: ibaise, Hilege, A:seliele, Siegeme, Hife amola Siemaida. Amola ilia da ilia sosogo fi ilima bisilua gala.
The allocation was for the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, to the families of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by families.
3 Siloufiha: de (e da Hife ea mano amola Hife da Gilia: de ea mano. Gilia: de da Ma: ige ea mano amola Ma: ige da Ma: na: se ea mano) da dunu mano hame. E da uda mano fawane lai. Ilia dio da Mala, Nowa, Hogola, Miliga amola Desa.
But Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons. He only had daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Ilia da Elia: isa (gobele salasu dunu), Yosiua (Nane ea mano) amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima misini, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da Mousesema, e da nini amo ninia dunu fi defele, soge mogili ninima ima: ne sia: i.” Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ilia da dunu fi defele, Siloufiha: de ea idiwilali ilima soge i.
They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, and told them, “The Lord ordered Moses to give us an allocation of land along with our brothers.” So Joshua allotted land to them along with their brothers, as the Lord had ordered.
5 Amaiba: le, Eso Mabe Ma: na: se fi da Yodane Hano eso mabe la: idi amoga Gilia: de amola Ba: isa: ne soge lai. Amola ilia da soge fifi nabuane gala eno lai.
Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,
6 Bai Ma: na: se egaga fi dunu da soge lai amola egaga fi uda da soge eno lai.
because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an allocation along with the sons. (The land of Gilead had been allotted to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh).
7 Ma: na: se ea soge alalo da A: sie fi ilia soge amoga asili, Migimida moilai (Siegeme moilai bai bagadega eso mabadi la: idi) amoga doaga: i. Amalu, alalo da ga (south) asili, Eneda: biua dunu fi ilia soge sisiga: i.
The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.
8 Soge da Da: biua moilai bai bagadega sisiga: le dialu da Ma: na: se egaga fi ilia soge. Be Da: biua moilai bai bagade da soge alalo amoga dialu amola moilai amo Ifala: ime egaga fi da gagui.
The land around Tappuah was allocated to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was on the border of Manasseh's land, was allocated to Ephraim.
9 Alalo da asili Gana Hano amoga doaga: i. Moilai amo hano ga (south) dialu da Ifala: ime ea moilai. Be soge amo Ma: na: se da gagui. Ma: na: se soge alalo da hano ga (north) asili, Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade amoga doaga: i.
From there the boundary ran down to the valley of Kenah. South of the valley some of the towns belonged to Ephraim among the towns of Manasseh. The boundary ran along the north side of the valley and ended at the sea.
10 Ifala: ime da ga (south) dialu amola Ma: na: se da ga (north) dialu. Ilia eso dabe alalo da Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade. A: sie da ga (north) eso dabe la: idi dialu amola Isaga da ga (north) eso mabadi la: idi dialu.
To the south the land belonged to Ephraim, and to the north, to Manasseh. The sea is the boundary. The boundary to the north was with Asher, and with Issachar to the east.
11 Ma: na: se da Isaga amola A: sie ela soge ganodini moilai bai bagade gagui galu. Amo da Bede Sia: ne, Ibilia: me, Do (amo da hano wayabo bagade bega: ), Enedo, Da: ina: ge, Megidou amola moilai ilima sisiga: le dialu.
The following towns with their associated villages were allocated to Manasseh but lay within the land of Issachar and Asher: Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor (on the coast), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
12 Be Ma: na: se fi dunu da Ga: ina: ne dunu amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu amo gadili sefasimusa: hamedei agoane ba: i.
But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.
13 Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa da heda: i be amo dunu hame sefasi. Be ilia da amo dunu udigili hawa: hamomusa: logei.
However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.
14 Yousefe egaga fi dunu da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Di da abuliba: le ninima soge afadafa fawane ibala: ? Hina Gode da nini hahawane fidibiba: le, ninia fi da bagade hamoi dagoi.”
Then the descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked him, “Why have you given us only one allocation—only one share of the land—when there's so many of us because the Lord has blessed us so much?”
15 Yosiua da ilima bu adole i, “Dilia da dunu bagohameba: le amola Ifala: ime agolo soge da fonobahadi ba: beba: le, defea, iwila soge amo Belesaide dunu amola Lefa: ime dunu ilia sogega asili, moi dogone, dilia sogebi hahamoma.”
Joshua told them, “If there's so many of you, if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, then go and clear ground for yourselves from the forest in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”
16 Ilia da bu adole i, “Dafawane! Agolo soge da nini huluane fima: ne fonobahadi ba: sa. Be Ga: ina: naide dunu umi sogega esala da ouli sa: liode gala. Ilia da Bede Sia: ne amola Yeseliele Fago amo ganodini esala amola gasa bagade ba: sa.”
The descendants of Joseph replied, “The hill country isn't big enough for us, but the Canaanites living in the lowlands have iron chariots, both those in Beth-shan and its villages, and those in the valley of Jezreel.”
17 Yosiua da Ifala: ime fi amola Eso Dabe Ma: na: se fi ilima amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Dilia da dunu bagohame fi. Amola dilia da gasa bagade. Dilia soge fifi amo afadafa baligimu da defea.
Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, “Since you are so many, and you are so strong, you will be given more than just one share.
18 Dilia da agolo soge huluane lamu da defea. Amo da iwila gala, be dilia da ifa huluane a: le fasili huluane lamu. Dafawane! Ga: ina: ne dunu da gasa bagade amola ilia da ouli sa: liode gala. Be amo mae dawa: le, dilia da amo dunu huluane gadili sefasimu.”
You will be allocated the hill country in addition. Though it is forest, you will clear it and own it, from one end to the other. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots, and even though they are strong.”
