Josua 17
1 Og Loddet faldt for Manasses Stamme: thi han var Josefs førstefødte. Makir, Manasses førstefødte, Gileads Fader — han var nemlig Kriger — fik Gilead og Basan.
And this was the part marked out for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the oldest son of Joseph. As for Machir, the oldest son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Og de øvrige Manassiter fik Land efter deres Slægter, Abiezers, Heleks, Asriels, Sjekems, Hefers og Sjemidas Sønner; det er Josefs Søn Manasses mandlige Efterkommere efter deres Slægter.
And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by 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 Zelofhad, en Søn af Hefer, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Makir, en Søn af Manasse, havde ingen Sønner, kun Døtre; og hans Døtre hed Mala, 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 only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 De traadte frem for Præsten Eleazar og Josua, Nuns Søn, og Øversterne og sagde: »HERREN bød Moses give os Arvelod iblandt vore Brødre!« Da gav han dem efter HERRENS Bud en Arvelod iblandt deres Faders Brødre.
And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.
5 Saaledes faldt ti Parter paa Manasse foruden Landet Gilead og Basan hinsides Jordan.
And ten parts were given to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan;
6 Thi Manasses døtre fik Arvelod blandt hans Sønner. Men Landet Gilead tilfaldt Manasses øvrige Efterkommere.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had a heritage among his sons, and the land of Gilead was the property of the other sons of Manasseh.
7 Og Manasses Grænse gaar fra Aser til Mikmetat, som ligger østen for Sikem; derpaa gaar Grænsen mod Syd til Befolkningen i En-Tappua.
And the limit of Manasseh's land was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; the line goes on to the right hand, to the people of En-tappuah.
8 Manasse fik Landskabet Tappua; men Byen Tappua ved Manasses Grænse tilfaldt Efraimiterne.
The land of Tappuah was the property of Manasseh; but Tappuah on the edge of Manasseh was the property of the children of Ephraim.
9 Derpaa strækker Grænsen sig ned til Kanabækken, sønden om Bækken; Byerne der tilfaldt Efraim, midt iblandt Manasses Byer; Manasses Landomraade ligger norden for Bækken. Grænsen ender derpaa ved Havet.
And the limit goes down to the stream Kanah, to the south of the stream: these towns were Ephraim's among the towns of Manasseh; Manasseh's limit was on the north side of the stream, ending at the sea:
10 Sydsiden tilhører Efraim og Nordsiden Manasse. Havet danner Grænse; mod Nord støder de op til Aser, mod Øst til Issakar.
To the south it is Ephraim's, and to the north it is Manasseh's, and the sea is his limit; and they are touching Asher on the north, and Issachar on the east.
11 I Issakar og Aser tilfaldt følgende Byer Manasse: Bet-Sjean med Smaabyer, Jibleam med Smaabyer, Befolkningen i Dor med Smaabyer, Befolkningen i En-Dor med Smaabyer, Befolkningen i Ta'anak med Smaabyer og Befolkningen i Megiddo med Smaabyer, de tre Højdedrag.
In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, and Ibleam and its daughter-towns, and the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of En-dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of Taanach and its daughter-towns, and the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, that is, the three hills.
12 Men Manassiterne kunde ikke drive disse Byers Indbyggere bort, det lykkedes Kana'anæerne at holde sig i disse Egne.
But the children of Manasseh were not able to make the people of those towns go out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
13 Da Israeliterne blev de stærkeste, gjorde de Kana'anæerne til Hoveriarbejdere, men drev dem ikke bort.
And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.
14 Da talte Josefs Sønner til Josua og sagde: »Hvorfor har du kun givet mig een Lod og een Part til Arvelod, skønt jeg er et talrigt Folk, eftersom HERREN hidtil har velsignet mig?«
Then the children of Joseph said to Joshua, Why have you given me only one part and one stretch of land for my heritage? For through the blessing given to me by the Lord up to now, I am a great people.
15 Josua svarede dem: »Naar du er et talrigt Folk, saa drag op i Skovlandet og ryd dig Jord der i Perizziternes og Refaiternes Land, siden Efraims Bjergland er dig for trangt!«
Then Joshua said to them, If you are such a great people, go up into the woodlands, clearing a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if the hill-country of Ephraim is not wide enough for you.
16 Da sagde Josefs Sønner: »Bjerglandet er os ikke nok, og alle Kana'anæerne, som bor paa Slettelandet, baade de i Bet-Sjean med Smaabyer og de paa Jizre'elsletten, har jernbeslagne Vogne!«
And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites living in the valley have iron war-carriages, those in Beth-shean and its towns as well as those in the valley of Jezreel.
17 Da sagde Josua til Josefs Slægt, til Efraim og Manasse: »Du er et talrigt Folk og har stor Kraft; du skal ikke komme til at nøjes med een Lod,
Then Joshua said to the children of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, You are a great people, and have great power: you are not to have one property only,
18 men et Bjergland skal tilfalde dig, thi det er skovbevokset, og naar du rydder det, skal det tilfalde dig med Udløberne derfra; thi du skal drive Kana'anæerne bort, selv om de har jernbeslagne Vogne; du er nemlig stærkere end de.«
For the hill-country of Gilead will be yours ... the woodland and cut down ... its outskirts will be yours ... get the Canaanites out, for they have iron war-carriages ... strong.
