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.
Ary nahazo zara-tany tamin’ ny filokana koa ny firenen’ i Manase (fa izy no lahimatoan’ i Josefa), dia Makira, lahimatoan’ i Manase, rain’ i Gileada, fa izy no mpanafika ka nahazo an’ i Gileada sy Basana.
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.
Ary nisy koa ho an’ ny taranak’ i Manase sisa araka ny fokony, dia ho an’ ny taranak’ i Abiezera sy Heleka sy Asriela sy Sekema sy Hefera ary Semida: ireo no zanakalahin’ i Manase, zanak’ i Josefa, araka ny fokony.
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.
Fa Zelofada, zanak’ i Hefera, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Matira, zanak’ i Manase, kosa tsy mba nanan-janakalahy, fa zanakavavy ihany; ary izao no anaran’ ny zananivavy: Mahala sy Noa sy Hogla sy Milka ary 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.
Dia nanatona teo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny loholona izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Jehovah efa nandidy an’ i Mosesy hanome anay zara-tany eo amin’ ny anadahinay. Ary dia nomeny lova teo amin’ ny rahalahin-drainy izy araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.
5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan,
Dia nahazo anjaram-polo Manase afa-tsy ny tany Gileada sy Basana, izay any an-dafin’ i Jordana,
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.
satria ny zanakavavin’ i Manase niara-nahazo lova tamin’ ny zananilahy; ary ny tany Gileada dia an’ ny zanakalahin’ i Manase sisa.
7 Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem, then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Ary ny fari-tanin’ i Manase dia hatrany Asera ka hatrany Mikmeta, tandrifin’ i Sekema, dia nandroso tamin’ ny ankavanana hatramin’ ny mponina any En-tapoa.
8 The region of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim.
Ary an’ i Manase ny tany Tapoa; fa Tapoa kosa, izay eo amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Manase, dia an’ ny taranak’ i Efraima.
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.
Ary ny fari-taniny dia nidina hatreo atsimon’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Kana; ireo tanana teo amin’ ny tanànan’ i Manase ireo dia an’ i Efraima; ary ny faritaniny Manase dia teo avaratry ny lohasahan-driaka, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina.
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.
Ny atsimo dia an’ i Efraima, ary ny avaratra dia an’ i Manase, ary ny ranomasina no fari-taniny; ary nihatra tamin’ i Asera teo avaratra sy tamin’ Isakara teo atsinanana izy.
11 Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that is, Naphath), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each with their surrounding settlements.
Ary Manase nahazo anjara koa teo amin’ Isakara sy teo amin’ i Asera, dia Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary Ibleama sy ny zana-bohiny ay ny mponina any Dora sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any En-dora koa sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Tanaka sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Megido sy ny zana-bohiny, dia amin’ ny havoana telo ireo.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.
Kanefa tsy nahazo ireo tanàna ireo ny taranak’ i Manase: fa tian’ ny Kananita hitoerana indrindra izany tany izany.
13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.
Fa rehefa nihahery ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nampanao fanompoana ny Kananita izy, fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra.
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.”
Dia niteny tamin’ i Josoa ny taranak’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no lova iray sy anjara iray ihany no nomenao ahy, kanefa aho efa tonga firenena lehibe, fa notahin’ Jehovah toy izao mandraka ankehitriny?
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.”
Dia hoy Josoa taminy: Raha firenena lehibe ary ianao, dia miakara any amin’ ny ala, ka miteveza honenanao any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Perizita sy ny Refaïta, fa terỳ loatra aminao ny tany havoan’ i Efraima.
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.”
Dia hoy ny taranak’ i Josefa: Tsy ampy ho anay ny tany havoana; ary manana kalesy vy ny Kananita rehetra, izay monina any amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia izay any Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary izay any amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela.
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,
Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa, dia Efraima sy Manase: Firenena lehibe ianao ka mahery indrindra: tsy anjara iray ihany no ho azonao, fa tany havoana koa;
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.”
fa ala izany ka tevezo, dia ho anao ny an-tsisiny: fa handroaka ny Kananita ianao, na dia manana kalesy vy aza izy ireo sady mahery.
