< Joshua 17 >

1 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.
Ždrijebom je dopao i dio plemenu Manašeovu, jer je Manaše bio prvenac Josipov. Makiru, prvencu Manašeovu, ocu Gileadovu - bijaše on ratnik bez premca - pripade Gilead i Bašan.
2 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.
Dobili su svoj dio i ostali sinovi Manašeovi po svojim porodicama: sinovi Abiezerovi, sinovi Helekovi, sinovi Asrielovi; sinovi Šekemovi, sinovi Heferovi i sinovi Šemidini. To su muški potomci Manašea, sina Josipova, po svojim porodicama.
3 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.
A Selofhad, sin Hefera, sina Gileada, sina Makira, sina Manašeova, nije imao sinova nego samo kćeri. Evo im imena: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.
4 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.
One dođoše pred svećenika Eleazara i pred Jošuu, sina Nunova, i pred glavare govoreći: “Jahve je zapovjedio Mojsiju da se i nama dade baština među našom braćom.” I dadoše im po Jahvinoj zapovijedi baštinu među braćom njihova oca.
5 And ten parts were given to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan;
Tako je dopalo Manašeu deset dijelova, povrh gileadske i bašanske zemlje, koje su s onu stranu Jordana.
6 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.
Kćeri Manašeove dobiše baštinu među njegovim sinovima, a zemlja gileadska pripala je drugim sinovima Manašeovim.
7 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.
Međa je Manašeova išla od Ašera do Mikmetata, koji leži nasuprot Šekemu, a zatim zavijala desno prema Jašibu na izvoru Tapuahu.
8 The land of Tappuah was the property of Manasseh; but Tappuah on the edge of Manasseh was the property of the children of Ephraim.
Pokrajina Tapuah pripadaše Manašeu, ali sam Tapuah na međi Manašeovoj pripadaše sinovima Efrajimovim.
9 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:
Međa je silazila do potoka Kane. Južno od potoka bili su i ovi gradovi što su Efrajimovim sinovima pripadali između Manašeovih gradova; a zemlja se Manašeova nalazila na sjeveru i izbijala na more.
10 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.
Područje s juga pripadalo je Efrajimu, na sjeveru Manašeu, a more im bi međa; na sjeveru su graničili s Ašerom, a s Jisakarom na istoku.
11 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.
Manašeu pripadahu u Jisakaru i Ašeru: Bet-Šean sa svojim selima, Jibleam sa svojim selima, stanovnici Dora sa svojim selima, stanovnici En-Dora sa svojim selima, stanovnici Taanaka sa svojim selima, stanovnici Megida sa svojim selima; dakle: tri područja.
12 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.
Ali Manašeovi sinovi nisu mogli osvojiti te gradove i zato su Kanaanci ostali u tom kraju.
13 And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.
Ali kad su ojačali sinovi Izraelovi, nametnuše Kanaancima tlaku, ali ih nisu uspjeli protjerati.
14 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.
Obrate se tada Josipovi sinovi Jošui i upitaju: “Zašto si nam dao u baštinu prema jednom ždrijebu, samo jedan dio, kad smo mnogobrojni i Jahve nas dosad blagoslivljao?”
15 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.
Jošua im odgovori: “Kad ste narod mnogobrojan, pođite u šumu i krčite ondje sebi zemlje u periškoj i refaimskoj krajini, ako vam je pretijesna gora Efrajimova.”
16 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.
A sinovi Josipovi rekoše: “Gora nam ova neće biti dosta, a svi Kanaanci koji žive u ravnici imaju željezna kola, oni što su u Bet-Šeanu i selima njegovim i oni koji su u dolini jizreelskoj.”
17 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,
Tada odgovori Jošua domu Josipovu, i Efrajimu i Manašeu: “Vi ste brojan narod i imate silnu snagu. Zato nećeš dobiti samo jedan ždrijeb:
18 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.
neka gora bude tvoja. Ako je šumovita, iskrči je pa će obronci biti posjed doma tvoga. Istjerat ćeš sigurno Kanaance ako i imaju željezna kola, ako i jesu jaki.”
