Joshua 17
1 And the lot came to the tribe of Manasseh (for he was the firstborn of Joseph), to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war, and he had Gilead and Bashan.
Libota ya Manase, mwana liboso ya Jozefi, bazwaki eteni ya mabele; pamba te Makiri, mwana liboso ya Manase, tata ya Galadi, azalaki moto ya bitumba mpe azwaki Galadi mpe Bashani.
2 There was also [a portion] for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their 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 are the children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, according to their families.
Bakitani mosusu ya Manase, kolanda mabota na bango, bazwaki eteni ya mabele: bakitani ya Abiezeri, ya Eleki, ya Asirieli, ya Sishemi, ya Eferi mpe ya Shemida. Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi, kolanda bituka na bango.
3 And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Tselofikadi, mwana mobali ya Eferi, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, atikalaki kobota bana mibali te; azalaki kaka na bana basi oyo bakombo na bango ezalaki: Mala, Noa, Ogila, Milika mpe Tiritsa.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of Jehovah an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Bayaki liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, liboso ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe liboso ya bakambi. Balobaki: « Yawe apesaki mitindo epai ya Moyize ete apesa biso eteni ya mabele kati ya bandeko na biso ya mibali. » Boye, Jozue apesaki bango libula elongo na bandeko mibali ya tata na bango, kolanda mitindo na Yawe.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan.
Boye, ndambo ya libota ya Manase ezwaki biteni zomi, bakisa mokili ya Galadi mpe ya Bashani oyo ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
6 For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Na bongo, bakitani ya Manase ya basi bazwaki libula ya mabele kati na bakitani na ye ya mibali, kasi mokili ya Galadi ezalaki ya bana mibali mosusu ya Manase.
7 And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is before Shechem, and the border went on the right hand toward the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.
Eteni ya mabele ya Manase ezalaki longwa na Aseri, na mokili ya Mikimeta oyo ezalaki ya kotalana na Sishemi, kino na ngambo ya Yamini, na ngambo ya bavandi ya Eyini-Tapua.
8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
Manase azwaki eteni ya mabele ya Tapua, kasi yango moko Tapua oyo ezalaki na bandelo ya Manase ezalaki ya bakitani ya Efrayimi.
9 And the border descended to the torrent Kanah, south of the torrent. These cities were Ephraim's among the cities of Manasseh. And the territory of Manasseh was on the north side of the torrent, and ended at the sea.
Bongo mondelo ekitaki kino na ngambo ya sude ya moluka ya Kana. Bingumba oyo ezalaki na zingazinga ya bingumba ya Manase ezalaki ya Efrayimi. Kasi mondelo ya Manase elekaki na ngambo ya nor ya moluka mpe ekendeki kosuka na Ebale monene.
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. And they touched upon Asher on the north, and upon Issachar on the east.
Efrayimi azwaki eteni ya mabele oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya sude; mpe Manase azwaki oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya nor. Eteni ya mabele ya Manase ekomaki kino na Ebale monene, na mondelo ya Aseri, na ngambo ya nor mpe ya Isakari, na ngambo ya este.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and Ibleam and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages, the three hilly regions.
Kati na Isakari mpe Aseri, Manase azwaki Beti-Sheani elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Yibileayimi elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Dori elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Eyini-Dori elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Taanaki elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, mpe Megido elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike (engumba ya misato, kati na molongo, ezali Nafoti).
12 But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess [the inhabitants of] those cities; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Nzokande, bakitani ya Manase bazalaki na makoki te ya kozwa bingumba oyo, pamba te bato ya Kanana batingamaki kaka kovanda na etuka yango.
13 And it came to pass when the children of Israel were become strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
Atako bongo, tango bana ya Isalaele bakomaki makasi koleka, bakomaki kosalisa bato ya Kanana misala makasi oyo ekoki na bawumbu, kasi bakokaki te kobengana bango.
14 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me as inheritance one lot and one portion, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed me hitherto?
Bakitani ya Jozefi balobaki na Jozue: — Mpo na nini opesi biso lokola libula, kaka eteni moko ya mabele? Tozali penza bato ebele na motango mpe Yawe apamboli biso makasi.
15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a great people, then get thee up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
Jozue azongiselaki bango: — Soki bozali bato ebele mpe etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi ezali moke mpo na bino, bokende komikatela eteni ya mabele na bazamba ya bato ya Perizi mpe ya Refayimi.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and those that are in the valley of Jizreel.
Bakitani ya Jozefi balobaki na ye: — Mokili ya bangomba ezali moke mpo na biso, mpe bato nyonso ya Kanana oyo bavandaka na etando ya Beti-Sheani elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, mpe bavandi ya lubwaku ya Jizireyeli, bazalaka na bashar ya bibende mpo na kobunda.
17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only,
Jozue alobaki na bato ya Efrayimi mpe ya Manase, bakitani ya Jozefi: — Bozali ebele mpe bozali makasi. Bokozala kaka na eteni ya mabele moko te.
18 but the hill-country shall be thine, as it is a wood, thou shalt cut it down, and its outgoings shall be thine; for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots; for they are powerful.
Kasi bozwa etuka mobimba ya bangomba, atako ezali bazamba; bokata bazamba yango mpe bovanda kuna kino na basuka na yango, bobengana bato ya Kanana, atako bazali na bashar ya bibende mpe bazali makasi.
