Joshua 17
1 Now this was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn son, namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh and father of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because Machir was a man of war.
Gamloding kihopna abannachu Joseph chillhah chamasa Manasseh phung akehkhat chu akipen ahi. Makir Manesseh chamasa chu Gilead dia apa ahi. Ama chilhah hohi galhatmi ahiyehun Jordan solam gamkaija um Gilead le Bashan chu anakipesa ahi.
2 So this allotment was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh—the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph.
Hitichun Jordan lhumlam gamkai Abizer, Helek, Asreil, Sechom, Hepher, chuleh Shemida hohi Manasseh phungkhai sung lah’a avatnalai insungho chan ding ahi. Hiche bahkhai hohin Joseph cha Manasseh chilhah pasalho thalheng ahiuve.
3 But Zelophehad son of Hepher (the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh) had no sons but only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Ahiyeng vang'in Manasseh chapa Makir, Makir chapa Gilead, Gilead chapa Hepher, Hepher chapa Zelophahad chu cha neilou ahin, aman chanubou aneiyin amaho minchu Malah, Noah, Haglah, Milcah chuleh Tirzah ahiuve.
4 They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and said, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers, in keeping with the command of the LORD.
Hiche numei hohi, thempupa Eleazer, Nun chapa Joshua, chuleh Israel lamkaiho kommah ahungun hitin ahungseijun ahi, “Pakaiyin, Mose jah’a eyhole kasopiteu pasalho gamlodi eipehdiovin thupeh anapen ahi” atiove. Hijeh chun Joshua’n jong ama hochu Pakai thupeh banga apa-ngahteo chan bangin gamchu anapen ahi.
5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan,
Hijeh chun Manasseh chan apumpi chu Jordan vadung galla Gilead leh Bashan gamchan banna chu gamchan oma hung lhingtan ahi.
6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
Ajeh chu Manasseh chilhah numei hojong pasal chilhah chanto kibanga achanjeh’u ahi. (Gilead gamchu Manasseh chilhah pasal amoh ho kipeh ahi).
7 Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem, then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Manasseh phung gamgichu Asher gamgi hina kon in Secheme kom Micmethath changei jin ahung kikholutnin ahi. Hichea konchun gamgichu Micmethath’a kon in achesuhin Tappuah twinah putna komma chenna munho geijin ahung kilhung lut in ahi.
8 The region of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim.
Tappuah velkolla gamho chu Manasseh chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi a um Tappuah khopi tah vang chu Ephraim phung mite chan ahi.
9 From there the border continued southward to the Brook of Kanah. There were cities belonging to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh, but the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and ended at the Sea.
Tappuah twinah putna akonnin Manasseh gamgi chun Kanah vadungneo chu ajuijin Meditteranean twikhanglen'ah alutnin ahi. Hiche vadungneo lhanglanga khopi phabep chu Manasseh gamsung ahi, ahinla hiche hochu atah beh’in Ephraim phungho chan ahi.
10 Ephraim’s territory was to the south, and Manasseh’s was to the north, having the Sea as its border and adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
Alhanglhon invang, hiche vadungneo lhanglam gamchu Ephraimte chan ahi, chuleh vadungneo sahlang gamchu Manasseh te chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi vadungneo sahlang gamkai chutoh akilhonin Mediterranean nah a atangin ahi. Manasseh sahlang chu Asher gam ahin chuleh sahlang vangchu Issachar gam ahi.
11 Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that is, Naphath), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each with their surrounding settlements.
Ahivangin Issachar le Asher gamgi sunga um khopi ho, Beth-shan khopi, Ibleam khopi, Dor khopi (Hichu Naphoth-dor), Endor, Taanach khopi chule Megiddo khopi holeh agamsunga cheng hojouse chu Manasseh chan din anakipe tan ahi.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.
Ahinlah Manasseh chilhah chengse chun hiche khopi ho chu analalut joupou vin ahi. Amahon Canaan mite chu anadel-mang jou pouvin tuni geijin aum nalaijun hai.
13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.
Ahinlah khonunga Israelte ahung hatdoh phatnuvin Canaan mite chu soh in amang taovin ahi. Ahinlah agam sunguva kon in anodoh joupouvin ahi.
14 Then the sons of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one portion as an inheritance? We have many people, because the LORD has blessed us abundantly.”
Joseph chilhahte Joshua kommah ahungun hiti hin ahung dong’ui, “Pakaiyin hibanga eipunsahuva ipi dinga kachenna dio gamhi chan khatbou neipeh ham?”
15 Joshua answered them, “If you have so many people that the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go to the forest and clear for yourself an area in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”
Joshua’n adonbutnin “Nangho natamlheh jengtah uva Ephraim thinglhang gam nangho dinga aneotaha ahileh hiche Periz mitele Reph mite channa gammang lahkhu nangho dingin gakisuhtheng taovin atipeh in ahi.”
16 “The hill country is not enough for us,” they replied, “and all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron chariots, both in Beth-shean with its towns and in the Valley of Jezreel.”
Joseph chilhahte chun adonbutnin, “Thinglhang gamhi keiho dingin alhing joupoi katiu hi atahbeh ahi. Ahinlah Canaan mite gamnomma cheng holeh Jezreel phaichamma um hohin thih sakol kangtalai aneiyun, amahohi keihon kadoudio vin ahahsa valle atiove.”
17 So Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You have many people and great strength. You shall not have just one allotment,
Hichun Joshua’n Joseph chilhahte Ephraim le Manasseh phungmi teho kommah hitin aseije “Nanghohi natammuve nahatlheh jeng taove ahileh nangho dingahi chan khatval kipeding nahiuve.
18 because the hill country will be yours as well. It is a forest; clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours. Although the Canaanites have iron chariots and although they are strong, you can drive them out.”
Thinglhang gammang lahkhu nangho nachan bediu ahi. Nanghon nasuhtheng nom chanun gakisuhthengun agam lapen aningkoi changeijin galo tauvin phaichamma Canaan mite jeng jongkhu hatlheh uhenlang thih sakol kangtalai neijongleo ganodoh taovin,” ati.
