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.
Ma e pok mar dhood Manase, kaka wuod Josef makayo, tiende ni, mar Makir, wuod Manase makayo. Makir ne kwar jo-Gilead, ma norwako Gilead gi Bashan nikech jo-Makir ne gin jolweny mongʼere.
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.
Omiyo pokni nowene joka Manase mane odongʼ, kaka, anywola mar Abiezer, Helek Asriel, Shekem, Hefer, kod Shemida. Magi e nyikwa Manase ma wuod Josef mamoko machwo kaluwore gi anywolagi.
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.
Zelofehad ma wuod Hefer, ma wuod Gilead, ma wuod Makir, ma wuod Manase, ne onge yawuowi makmana nyiri kende, ma nying-gi ne gin: Mala, Nowa, Hogla, Milka gi Tirza.
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.
Negidhi ir Eliazar jadolo kod Joshua wuod Nun, to gi jotelo mi giwachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa mondo opognwa girkeni e dier owetewa.” Omiyo Joshua nomiyogi girkeni kaachiel gi owete wuonegi, kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye.
5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan,
Pok mar Manase ne en lope apar kapok okwan piny Gilead kod piny Bashan mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan,
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.
nikech nyi dhood Manase noyudo girkeni e kind owetegi. Piny jo-Gilead nobedo mar nyikwa Manase mamoko.
7 Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem, then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Piny Manase nochakore Asher nyaka Mikmethath mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ mar Shekem. Tongʼno nochakore yo milambo mokawo nyaka joma odak En Tapua.
8 The region of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim.
Manase nokawo piny Tapua, to Tapua owuon, mane nitiere e tongʼ Manase, nobedo mar jo-Efraim.
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.
Eka tongʼno nodhi nyime yo milambo mochopo nyaka Kana Ravin. Ne nitiere mier matindo ma mek Efraim mane nitiere e dier mier matindo mag Manase, makmana tongʼ Manase ne nitiere yo nyandwat mar holo matut madiny kendo mogik e nam.
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.
Yo milambo ne en piny Efraim, to yo nyandwat ne en mar Manase. Piny Manase nochopo e nam kendo mokiewo gi Asher yo nyandwat, to Isakar yo wuok chiengʼ.
11 Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that is, Naphath), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each with their surrounding settlements.
E Isakar kod Asher, Manase ne nitie bende kod Beth Shan, Ibleam kod jo-Dor, Endor, Tanak kod Megido, kaachiel gi jogo mane odak machiegni kodgi, ngʼat mar adek e kwan-no ne en Nafoth.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.
Kata kamano, jo-Manase ne ok nyal kawo e mier matindogi, nikech jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag kanyo.
13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.
Omiyo ka jo-Israel nodoko maroteke, negiketo jo-Kanaan obedo wasumbinigi mane ok giriembogi kata matin.
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.”
Joka Josef nowachone Joshua niya, “Ere gima omiyo isepogonwa kendo miyowa mana kamoro achiel kaka girkeni? Wasenyaa kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhowa mogundho.”
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 nodwokogi niya, “To ka usenyaa ahinya kamano kendo piny gode mag Efraim koro tinnu, kare koro dhiuru e bungu manie piny jo-Perizi kod jo-Refai mondo ubet kanyo obed maru.”
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.”
Joka Josef to nodwoko niya, “Piny godeno ok oromowa, kendo jo-Kanaan duto modak e pawno nigi geche mag lweny ma tiendgi otimo nyinyo, kendo mago modak Beth Shan gi mier molwore kaachiel gi holo mar Jezreel bende nigi gechego.”
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,
To Joshua nowachone od Josef, ma gin Efraim kod Manase niya, “Usenyaa kendo un joma nigi teko. Ok unubed gi pok achiel kende,
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.”
to nyaka piny moyugno manie got bende. Beteuru nyaka kuma unyalo, to obiro bedo maru; kata obedo ni jo-Kanaan nigi geche nyinyo kendo gi tegno, pod unyalo riembogi.”
