< Joshua 17 >

1 This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
マナセの支派が籤によりて獲たる地は左のごとしマナセはヨセフの長子なりきマナセの長子にしてギレアデの父なるマキルは軍人なるが故にギレアデとバシヤンを獲たり
2 So this was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, for the children of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the children of Shechem, for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida. These were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
此餘のマナセの子等即ちアビエゼルの子孫ヘレクの子孫アスリエルの子孫シケムの子孫へペルの子孫セミダの子孫などもその宗族にしたがひて獲る所ありき是等はヨセフの子マナセが男の子にしてその宗族に循ひて言るなり
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
マナセの子マキルその子ギレアデその子へペルその子なるゼロペハデといふ者は女の子のみありて男の子あらざりきその女の子の名はマヘラ、ノア、ホグラ、ミルカ、テルザといふ
4 They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, 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.
彼等祭司エレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよび長等の前に進み出て言けらく我らの兄弟の中にて我らにも產業を與へよとヱホバ、モーセに命じおきたまへりヨシユアすなはちヱホバの命にしたがひて彼らの父の兄弟の中にて彼らにも產業を與ふ
5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
マナセはヨルダンの彼旁にてギレアデおよびバシヤンの地の外になほ十部の地を獲たり
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
是はマナセの女の子等もその男の子等の中にて產業を獲たればなりギレアデの地はマナセのその餘の子等に屬す
7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
マナセの境界はアセルよりシケムの前なるミクメタテに及び右におもむきてエンタツプアの民に達す
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
タツプアの地はマナセに屬す但しマナセの境界にあるタツプアはエフライムの子孫に屬す
9 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and ended at the sea.
またその境界カナの河に下りてその河の南に至る是等の邑はマナセの邑々の中にありてエフライムに屬すマナセの境界はその河の北にあり海にいたりて盡く
10 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.
その南の方はエフライムに屬し北の方はマナセに屬し海これらの境界を成すマナセは北はアセルに達し東はイツサカルに達す
11 Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, 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.
イツサカルおよびアセルの中にてマナセはベテシヤンとその郷里イブレアムとその郷里ドルの民とその郷里およびエンドルの民とその郷里タアナクの民とその郷里メギドンの民とその郷里など合せて三の高處を有り
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
但しマナセの子孫は是らの邑の民を逐はらふことを得ざりければカナン人この地に固く住ひをりしが
13 When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
イスラエルの子孫強くなるに及びてカナン人を使役し之を盡く逐ことはせざりき
14 The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because the LORD has blessed us so far?”
茲にヨセフの子孫ヨシユアに語りて言けるはヱホバ今まで我を祝福たまひて我は大なる民となりけるに汝わが產業にとて只一の籤一の分のみを我に與へしは何ぞや
15 Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous 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.”
ヨシユアかれらに言けるは汝もし大なる民となりしならば林に上りゆきて彼處なるペリジ人およびレバイム人の地を自ら斬ひらくべしエフライムの山地は汝には狭しと言ばなり
16 The children 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.”
ヨセフの子孫言けるは山地は我らには足ずかつ又谷の地にをるカナン人はベテシヤンとその郷里にをる者もヱズレルの谷にをる者も凡て鐵の戰車を有り
17 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;
ヨシユアかさねてヨセフの家すなはちエフライムとマナセに語りて言ふ汝は大なる民にして大なる力あり然れば只一籤のみを取てをる可らず
18 but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
山地をも汝の有とすべし是は林なれども汝これを斬ひらきてその極處を獲べしカナン人は鐵の戰車を有をりかつ強くあれども汝これを逐はらふことを得ん
