Yoswa 17
1 Gawo lina la dzikolo linapatsidwa kwa mabanja ena a fuko la Manase, mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Yosefe. Makiri anali mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Manase ndiponso kholo la anthu okhala ku Giliyadi. Popeza kuti iye anali munthu wankhondo, analandira Giliyadi ndi Basani.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the first-born of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Mabanja ena otsala a fuko la Manase amene analandira dziko ndi awa: Abiezeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Sekemu, Heferi ndi Semida. Izi ndi zidzukulu zina zazimuna za Manase mwana wa Yosefe ndiponso eni mbumba.
There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 Panali Zelofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase. Iyeyu analibe ana aamuna koma aakazi okhaokha ndipo mayina awo ndi awa: Mahila, Nowa, Hogila, Milika ndi Tiriza.
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Iwo anapita kwa Eliezara wansembe, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndi atsogoleri ndipo anati: “Yehova analamula Mose kuti ife ndi alongo athu atipatse cholowa chathu.” Choncho iwowo pamodzi ndi abale a abambo awo anawapatsa dera lina la dzikolo kuti likhale monga mwa lamulo la Yehova.
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Choncho kuwonjezera pa mayiko a Giliyadi ndi Basani kummawa kwa Yorodani, anthu a fuko la Manase analandiranso magawo khumi
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side of Jordan;
6 chifukwa ana aakazi a fuko la Manase analandira cholowa chawo pakati pa ana aamuna. Dziko la Giliyadi linali dziko la zidzukulu zonse za Manase.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 Malire a dziko la Manase anayambira ku Aseri, ndipo anakafika ku Mikimetati kummawa kwa Sekemu. Tsono malire anapita kummwera kuloza kwa anthu a ku Eni-Tapuwa.
And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 (Manase anatenga dziko la Tapuwa, koma mzinda wa Tapuwawo, umene unali mʼmalire mwa Manase unali wa fuko la Efereimu).
[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
9 Ndipo malire ake anapitirira kummwera mpaka ku mtsinje wa ku Kana. Mizinda ya kummwera kwa mtsinjewo inali ya fuko la Efereimu ngakhale kuti inali mʼdziko la Manase. Malire a fuko la Manase anapita kumpoto kwa mtsinje wa Kana ndi kukathera ku Nyanja.
And the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river. These cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the limits of it were at the sea:
10 Dziko la kummwera linali la Efereimu ndipo la kumpoto linali la Manase. Dziko la Manase linafika ku nyanja ndipo linachita malire ndi Aseri, kumpoto ndiponso Isakara, kummawa.
Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 Mʼdziko la Isakara ndi Aseri, Manase analinso ndi mizinda ya Beti-Seani ndi Ibuleamu pamodzi ndi midzi yawo yozungulira. Panalinso Akanaani amene ankakhala ku Dori, Endori, Taanaki ndi Megido pamodzi ndi mizinda yozungulira (wachitatu pa mʼndandandawu ndi Nafati Dori).
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Tanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, [even] three countries.
12 Komabe anthu a fuko la Manase sanathe kuwapirikitsa anthu okhala mʼmizinda imeneyi. Choncho Akanaani anakhalabe mʼmizindayi.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not expel [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Ngakhale Aisraeli anali a mphamvu mʼdzikomo, sanapirikitse Akanaani onse koma anangowasandutsa kukhala akapolo.
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly expel them.
14 Anthu a fuko la Yosefe anati kwa Yoswa, “Chifukwa chiyani mwatipatsa gawo limodzi lokha la dziko kuti likhale cholowa chathu? Ife tilipo anthu ambiri popeza Yehova watidalitsa kwambiri.”
And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath hitherto blessed me?
15 Yoswa anayankha kuti, “Ngati muli ambiri ndipo dziko la ku mapiri la Efereimu lakucheperani kwambiri, lowani ku nkhalango mudule mitengo, mudzikonzere malo akuti mukhalemo, mʼdziko la Aperezi ndi Arefai.”
And Joshua answered them, If thou [art] a great people, [then] go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
16 Tsono zidzukulu za Yosefe zinati, “Dziko la ku mapiri ndi losatikwaniradi, komanso Akanaani onse amene akukhala ku chigwa pamodzi ndi amene akukhala ku Beti-Seani ndi madera awo ndiponso amene ali ku chigwa cha Yezireeli ali ndi magaleta azitsulo.”
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Beth-shean and its towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
17 Koma Yoswa anawuza zidzukulu za Yosefe, za fuko la Efereimu ndi za fuko la Manase kuti, “Inu mulipodi ambiri ndiponso amphamvu. Simulandira gawo limodzi lokha,
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:
18 dziko la ku mapiri lidzakhalanso lanu. Ngakhale kuti ndi nkhalango yokhayokha koma inu mudzadula mitengo yake ndipo lidzakhala lanu mpaka kumapeto. Ngakhale kuti Akanaani ali ndi magaleta azitsulo ndiponso kuti iwo ndi amphamvu, koma inu mudzawapirikitsa.”
But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the limits of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [are] strong.
