Josua 17

1 Og Lodden faldt for Manasse Stamme, thi han er Josefs førstefødte; for Makir, Manasse førstefødte, Gileads Fader, fordi han var en Krigsmand, derfor blev Gilead og Basan hans.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

2 Men for de øvrige af Manasse Børn iblandt deres Slægter var og falden en Lod, nemlig for Abiesers Børn og for Heleks Børn og for Asriels Børn og for Sekems Børn og for Hefers Børn og for Semidas Børn; disse ere Manasse, Josefs Søns, Børn, de af Mandkøn iblandt deres Slægter.

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 Men Zelafehad, en Søn af Hefer, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Makir, en Søn af Manasse, han havde ikke Sønner, men Døtre; og disse ere hans Døtres Navne: Mahela og Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza.

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 Og de kom frem for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt, og for Josvas, Nuns Søns, Ansigt, og for Fyrsternes Ansigt, og sagde: Herren bød Mose, at han skulde give os Arv midt iblandt vore Brødre; og man gav dem Arv efter Herrens Mund, midt iblandt deres Faders Brødre.

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 Og der faldt ti Parter for Manasse, foruden Gileads Land og Basan, som ligger paa hin Side Jordanen.

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;

6 Thi Manasse Døtre fik Arv midt iblandt hans Sønner; men Manasse øvrige Børn havde faaet Landet Gilead.

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.

7 Og Manasse Landemærke var fra Aser til Mikmethath, som ligger lige for Sikem; og Landemærket gaar ud paa den højre Side til Indbyggerne i En-Thappua.

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

8 Thappua Land hørte Manasse til; men Thappua ved Manasse Landemærke hørte Efraims Børn til.

[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;

9 Og Landemærket gaar ned til Bækken Kana, Sønden for Bækken; disse Stæder høre Efraim til midt iblandt Manasse Stæder; men Manasse Landemærke er Norden for Bækken, og dets Udgang er ved Havet.

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

10 Mod Sønden var Efraims og mod Norden var Manasse Arv, og Havet var hans Landemærke; og de støde op til Aser mod Norden og til Isaskar mod Østen.

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 Men Manasse havde iblandt Isaskar og iblandt Aser: Beth-Sean med dens tilhørende Stæder og Jibleam med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i En-Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Thaanak med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Megiddo med dens tilhørende Stæder, som ere de tre Høje.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.

12 Og Manasse Børn kunde ikke indtage disse Stæder, men Kananiten boede roligt i samme Land.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

13 Og det skete, der Israels Børn bleve stærke, da gjorde de Kananiten skatskyldig; men de fordreve ham ikke aldeles.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

14 Og Josefs Børn talede med Josva og sagde: Hvorfor gav du mig ikkun een Lod og een Part til Arv? Jeg er et stort Folk, eftersom Herren har velsignet mig hidindtil.

And the children of Joseph spake unto 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 blessed me hitherto?

15 Og Josva sagde til dem: Dersom du er et stort Folk, da gak op i Skoven og udhug dig der et Stykke i Feresiternes og Kæmpernes Land, efterdi Efraims Bjerg er dig for trangt.

And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

16 Da sagde Josefs Børn: Dette Bjerg er ikke tilstrækkeligt for os; tilmed er der Jernvogne hos alle Kananiterne, som bo i Dallandet, hos dem, som bo i Beth-Sean med dens tilliggende Stæder, og hos dem, som bo i Jisreels Dal.

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 her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.

17 Og Josva sagde til Josefs Hus, til Efraim og til Manasse, sigende: Du er et stort Folk, og du har stor Styrke, du skal ikke have een Lod blot.

And Joshua spake unto 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 Thi et Bjerg skal høre dig til, og fordi det er en Skov, da skal du hugge den af, og dens Udgange skulle høre dig til; thi du skal fordrive Kananiten, enddog han har Jernvogne, enddog han er stærk.

But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.
