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.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Manase; he ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Siosefa; kia Mekili ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo Manase, ko e tamai ʻa Kiliati: koeʻuhi ko e tangata tau ia, ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ai ʻa Kiliati mo Pesani.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki hono toe ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga: ki he faʻahinga ʻa Epiesa, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEleki, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEsileli, pea ki he fānau ʻa Sikemi, pea ki he fānau ʻa Hefeli pea ki he fānau ʻa Simita: ko e ngaahi fānau tangata eni ʻa Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
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.
Ka ko Sailofitati, ko e foha ʻo Hefeli, ko e foha ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ʻo Mekili, ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻikai hano foha, ka ko e ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ko Mala, mo Noa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Tilisa.
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.
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki he ʻao ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea ki he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimautolu hamau tofiʻa fakataha mo homau kāinga.” Ko ia naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo e kāinga ʻo ʻenau tamai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan.
Pea naʻe hoko kia Manase ʻae ngaahi konga ʻe hongofulu, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fonua ʻo Kiliati mo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani;
6 For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu foki ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Manase hanau tofiʻa fakataha mo hono ngaahi foha: pea ko hono toe ʻoe foha ʻo Manase naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati.
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.
Pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe potu ʻo Manase naʻe fai mei ʻAseli ki Mikimeta, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Sikemi; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hoko ki he kakai ʻo Enitapua.
8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻae fonua ko Tapua: ka ko Tapua ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Manase ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ia;
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo Kana, ko e potu tonga ʻi he vaitafe: ko e ngaahi kolo ni ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻoku tuʻu fakataha mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase: ko e ngataʻanga foki ʻo Manase naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe vaitafe, pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki tahi:
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.
Naʻe ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae potu tonga, pea ko e potu tokelau naʻe ʻo Manase ia, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e tahi: pea na fakataha ʻi ʻAseli ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻi ʻIsaka ʻi he potu hahake.
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.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻi ʻIsaka, pea ʻi ʻAseli ʻa Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea mo e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Enitoa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, ʻio, ko e fonua ʻe tolu.
12 But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess [the inhabitants of] those cities; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Manase ʻae kakai ʻoe ngaahi kolo ko ia; ka naʻe loto pe ʻae kau Kēnani kenau nonofo ʻi he fonua.
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.
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke mālohi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kau Kēnani kenau tukuhau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
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?
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Siosefa kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke foaki ai kiate au ʻae tofiʻa pe taha ke u maʻu, ka ko e kakai tokolahi au, he koeʻuhi kuo tāpuaki au maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ke fei mo ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ʻi ai maʻau, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Pelesi, pea mo e kakai lalahi, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ʻae moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi kiate koe.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Siosefa, ʻOku siʻi ʻae moʻunga kiate kimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻi he kau Kēnani kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he teleʻa, ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kau mo Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo kinautolu ʻoku kau mo e teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
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,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he fale ʻo Siosefa, ʻio, kia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ʻoku ke mālohi lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ʻae tofiʻa pē taha:
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.
Ka ʻe ʻoʻou ʻae moʻunga; he ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ia: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: te ke kapusi ʻae kau Kēnani, neongo ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae saliote ʻaione, pea ʻoku nau mālohi.”
