约书亚记 17
1 玛拿西是约瑟的长子，他的支派拈阄所得之地记在下面。至于玛拿西的长子基列之父玛吉，因为是勇士就得了基列和巴珊。
And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
2 玛拿西其余的子孙，按着宗族拈阄分地，就是亚比以谢子孙，希勒子孙，亚斯列子孙，示剑子孙，希弗子孙，示米大子孙；这些按着宗族，都是约瑟儿子玛拿西子孙的男丁。
And there was [land] assigned to the other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi, and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these [are] the males according to their families.
3 玛拿西的玄孙，玛吉的曾孙，基列的孙子，希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子，只有女儿。他的女儿名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒；
And Salpaad the sons of Opher had no sons but daughters: and these [are] the names of the daughters of Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
4 她们来到祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚并众首领面前，说：“耶和华曾吩咐摩西在我们弟兄中分给我们产业。”于是约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的，在她们伯叔中，把产业分给她们。
And they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外，还有十分地归玛拿西，
And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
6 因为玛拿西的孙女们在玛拿西的孙子中得了产业。基列地是属玛拿西其余的子孙。
For the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
7 玛拿西的境界：从亚设起，到示剑前的密米他，往北到隐·他普亚居民之地。
And the borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders [even] to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
8 他普亚地归玛拿西，只是玛拿西境界上的他普亚城归以法莲子孙。
It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.
9 其界下到加拿河的南边。在玛拿西城邑中的这些城邑都归以法莲。玛拿西的地界是在河北直通到海为止；
And the borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ([there is] a turpentine tree [belonging] to Ephraim between [that and] the city of Manasse: ) and the borders of Manasse [are] northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.
10 南归以法莲，北归玛拿西，以海为界；北边到亚设，东边到以萨迦。
Southward [the land belongs] to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
11 玛拿西在以萨迦和亚设境内，有伯·善和属伯·善的镇市，以伯莲和属以伯莲的镇市，多珥的居民和属多珥的镇市；又有三处山冈，就是隐·多珥和属隐·多珥的镇市；他纳的居民和属他纳的镇市，米吉多的居民和属米吉多的镇市。
And Manasses shall have in [the portion of] Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
12 只是玛拿西子孙不能赶出这些城的居民，迦南人偏要住在那地。
And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
13 及至以色列人强盛了，就使迦南人做苦工，没有把他们全然赶出。
And it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.
14 约瑟的子孙对约书亚说：“耶和华到如今既然赐福与我们，我们也族大人多，你为什么仅将一阄一段之地分给我们为业呢？”
And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Therefore have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
15 约书亚说：“你们如果族大人多，嫌以法莲山地窄小，就可以上比利洗人、利乏音人之地，在树林中砍伐树木。”
And Joshua said to them, If you be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for yourself, If mount Ephraim be too little for you.
16 约瑟的子孙说：“那山地容不下我们，并且住平原的迦南人，就是住伯·善和属伯·善的镇市，并住耶斯列平原的人，都有铁车。”
And they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan, and in its villages, [and] in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.
17 约书亚对约瑟家，就是以法莲和玛拿西人，说：“你是族大人多，并且强盛，不可仅有一阄之地，
And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have [only] one inheritance.
18 山地也要归你，虽是树林，你也可以砍伐；靠近之地必归你。迦南人虽有铁车，虽是强盛，你也能把他们赶出去。”
For you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and [the land] shall be your; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.
