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.
This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Makir 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.
So this was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh according to their families: for the descendants of Abiezer, for the descendants of Helek, for the descendants of Asriel, for the descendants of Shechem, for the descendants of Hepher, and for the descendants of Shemida: these were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to 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 Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, 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.
They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 Og der faldt ti Parter for Manasse, foruden Gileads Land og Basan, som ligger paa hin Side Jordanen.
Ten parts fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the 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. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
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.
The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand to Jashub and to En Tappuah.
8 Thappua Land hørte Manasse til; men Thappua ved Manasse Landemærke hørte Efraims Børn til.
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to the descendants 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.
The border went down to Wadi Kanah, southward of the wadi. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the wadi, and ended 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 was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to 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 its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; three regions.
12 Og Manasse Børn kunde ikke indtage disse Stæder, men Kananiten boede roligt i samme Land.
Yet the descendants of Manasseh couldn't 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.
It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and 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.
The descendants of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since I am a great people, because the LORD has blessed me so far?"
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.
Joshua said to them, "If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you."
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.
The descendants of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in 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.
Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, "You are a great people, and have great power. You shall 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 hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong."
