1 A tento byl los Manassesův (nebo on jest prvorozený Jozefův): Machirovi prvorozenému Manassesovu, otci Gálad, proto že byl muž bojovný, dostal se Galád a Bázan.
[This is a list of] the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh’s oldest son was Makir and his grandson was Gilead. Makir’s descendants were great warriors, so the lands in the Gilead and Bashan regions were allotted to their clan.
2 Dostalo se také jiným synům Manassesovým po čeledech jejich, synům Abiezer, a synům Helek, a synům Asriel, i synům Sechem, a synům Hefer, a synům Semida. ( Nebo ti jsou synové Manassesovi, syna Jozefova, muži po rodech svých.
Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
3 Ale Salfad, syn Hefer, syna Galád, syna Machir, syna Manasse, neměl synů, než dcery toliko, jejichž jsou tato jména: Mahla a Noa, Hegla, Melcha a Tersa.
Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Kteréžto přistoupivše před Eleazara kněze, a před Jozue, syna Nun, i před knížata, řekly: Hospodin přikázal Mojžíšovi, aby nám dal dědictví u prostřed bratří našich. I dal jim Jozue podlé rozkázaní Hospodinova dědictví u prostřed bratří otce jejich.)
They went to Eleazar the Supreme Priest, and to Joshua and to the other Israeli leaders. They said, “[We want you to give us some land, because] Yahweh told Moses that he should give to us some land, just like you gave to the men.” So Eleazar did what Yahweh had commanded, and he allotted to them some land, just like he allotted to their uncles.
5 Dostalo se provazců Manassesovi deset, krom země Galád a Bázan, kteráž byla před Jordánem.
So the tribe of Manasseh eventually had ten sections [of land west of the Jordan River] and [two sections, ] Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
6 Nebo dcery Manassesovy obdržely dědictví mezi syny jeho, země pak Galád přišla jiným synům Manassesovým.
So those female descendants of Manasseh also were allotted land [on the west side of the river] just like the men were allotted. The other parts of the Gilead area were allotted to the male descendants of Manasseh.
7 A byla meze Manassesova od Asser, Michmetat, jenž jest před Sichem, a táhne se na pravou stranu k obyvatelům Entafue.
The land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was between the land where the tribe of Asher lives and Michmethath [town], near Shechem [city]. The border extended south to the Tappuah Spring.
8 (Manassesova zajisté byla země Tafue, ale Tafue podlé pomezí Manassesova jest synů Efraimových.)
The land near the Tappuah area belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was at the border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
9 Odkudž sstupuje pomezí ku potoku Kána, na poledne tomu potoku, a tu jsou města Efraimova u prostřed měst Manassesových; pomezí pak Manassesovo jest na půlnoci toho potoka, a skonává se při moři.
The border [of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh] extended south to Kanah Gorge. From there it extended [west] along the north side of the gorge and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
10 Na poledne jest díl Efraimův, a na půlnoci Manassesův, moře pak jest pomezí jejich; a v pokolení Asser sbíhají se na půlnoci, v pokolení pak Izachar na východ.
The land on the south side of the gorge belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and the land on the north side belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. The western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was the [Mediterranean] Sea. To the north, the border of their land extended from the land allotted to the tribe of Asher [at the northwest] to the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar [at the northeast.]
11 Nebo dědictví Manassesovo jest mezi Izacharovým a Asserovým, Betsan i městečka jeho, a Jibleam a městečka jeho; též obyvatelé Dor a městečka jeho, a obyvatelé Endor a městečka jeho; také obyvatelé Tanach a městečka jeho, i obyvatelé Mageddo a městečka jeho; tři ty krajiny.
But there are cities inside the area allotted to the tribes of Issachar and Asher. Those cities, along with their surrounding villages, were allotted to people from the tribe of Manasseh. These cities are Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Dor (which is also named Naphoth-Dor, ) Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
12 Ale synové Manassesovi nemohli vypléniti obyvatelů těch měst; protož směleji počal Kananejský bydliti v zemi té.
The men of the tribe of Manasseh were not able to force the people who lived in those cities to leave, so the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live in those cities.
13 Když se pak zsilili synové Izraelští, uvedli sobě Kananejské pod plat, a nevyhladili jich do konce.
But [years later] when the Israelis became better [warriors], they forced the Canaan people-group to work for them as slaves, although they did not force them to leave the land.
14 Tedy mluvili synové Jozefovi k Jozue, řkouce: Proč jsi nám dal dědictví toliko los jeden a provazec jeden, poněvadž jsme lid mnohý; nebo až dosavad žehnal nám Hospodin.
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh said to Joshua, “You allotted to us only one area of land, but there are a lot of us. Yahweh has blessed us very much [with the result that our tribe has grown very large]. So why did you give us only a small part of the land [RHQ]?”
15 I řekl jim Jozue: Poněvadž jsi lid tak mnohý, vejdi do lesa, a vyplaň sobě tam v zemi Ferezejské a Refaimské, jestližeť jest malá hora Efraim.
Joshua replied to them, “[I agree that] you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to [cut down the trees] in the forest [and] make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.”
16 Jemuž odpověděli synové Jozefovi: I tak nám nepostačí ta hora; přes to vozy železné mají všickni Kananejští, kteříž bydlejí v luzích těch, i ti, kteříž jsou v Betsan a v městečkách jeho, i ti, kteříž jsou v údolí Jezreel.
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh replied, “It is true that the land in the hilly area is not big enough for us, but the Canaan people-group who live in the lowlands, in Beth-Shan and the surrounding villages in that area, and in the Jezreel Valley, have iron chariots, [so we will not be able to defeat them]!”
17 I řekl Jozue domu Jozefovu, Efraimovu a Manassesovu, řka: Lid mnohý a silný jsi, nebudeš míti toliko dílu jednoho,
Joshua replied to them, “Your tribe is very numerous and very powerful. So I will allot more land for you in the hilly area,
18 Ale horu budeš míti. Jestližeť překáží les, tedy vysekáš jej, a obdržíš končiny její; nebo vyhladíš Kananejského, ačkoli má vozy železné a jest silný.
but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. [It is true that] the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.”
