< Joshua 17 >

1 And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the firstborn of Joseph) to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan.
マナセの支派が籤によりて獲たる地は左のごとしマナセはヨセフの長子なりきマナセの長子にしてギレアデの父なるマキルは軍人なるが故にギレアデとバシヤンを獲たり
2 And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.
此餘のマナセの子等即ちアビエゼルの子孫ヘレクの子孫アスリエルの子孫シケムの子孫へペルの子孫セミダの子孫などもその宗族にしたがひて獲る所ありき是等はヨセフの子マナセが男の子にしてその宗族に循ひて言るなり
3 But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.
マナセの子マキルその子ギレアデその子へペルその子なるゼロペハデといふ者は女の子のみありて男の子あらざりきその女の子の名はマヘラ、ノア、ホグラ、ミルカ、テルザといふ
4 And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father.
彼等祭司エレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよび長等の前に進み出て言けらく我らの兄弟の中にて我らにも產業を與へよとヱホバ、モーセに命じおきたまへりヨシユアすなはちヱホバの命にしたがひて彼らの父の兄弟の中にて彼らにも產業を與ふ
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.
マナセはヨルダンの彼旁にてギレアデおよびバシヤンの地の外になほ十部の地を獲たり
6 For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses.
是はマナセの女の子等もその男の子等の中にて產業を獲たればなりギレアデの地はマナセのその餘の子等に屬す
7 And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua.
マナセの境界はアセルよりシケムの前なるミクメタテに及び右におもむきてエンタツプアの民に達す
8 For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim.
タツプアの地はマナセに屬す但しマナセの境界にあるタツプアはエフライムの子孫に屬す
9 And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are at the sea:
またその境界カナの河に下りてその河の南に至る是等の邑はマナセの邑々の中にありてエフライムに屬すマナセの境界はその河の北にあり海にいたりて盡く
10 So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east.
その南の方はエフライムに屬し北の方はマナセに屬し海これらの境界を成すマナセは北はアセルに達し東はイツサカルに達す
11 And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.
イツサカルおよびアセルの中にてマナセはベテシヤンとその郷里イブレアムとその郷里ドルの民とその郷里およびエンドルの民とその郷里タアナクの民とその郷里メギドンの民とその郷里など合せて三の高處を有り
12 Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.
但しマナセの子孫は是らの邑の民を逐はらふことを得ざりければカナン人この地に固く住ひをりしが
13 But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them.
イスラエルの子孫強くなるに及びてカナン人を使役し之を盡く逐ことはせざりき
14 And the children of Joseph spoke to Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?
茲にヨセフの子孫ヨシユアに語りて言けるはヱホバ今まで我を祝福たまひて我は大なる民となりけるに汝わが產業にとて只一の籤一の分のみを我に與へしは何ぞや
15 And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
ヨシユアかれらに言けるは汝もし大なる民となりしならば林に上りゆきて彼處なるペリジ人およびレバイム人の地を自ら斬ひらくべしエフライムの山地は汝には狭しと言ばなり
16 And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.
ヨセフの子孫言けるは山地は我らには足ずかつ又谷の地にをるカナン人はベテシヤンとその郷里にをる者もヱズレルの谷にをる者も凡て鐵の戰車を有り
17 And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:
ヨシユアかさねてヨセフの家すなはちエフライムとマナセに語りて言ふ汝は大なる民にして大なる力あり然れば只一籤のみを取てをる可らず
18 But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.
山地をも汝の有とすべし是は林なれども汝これを斬ひらきてその極處を獲べしカナン人は鐵の戰車を有をりかつ強くあれども汝これを逐はらふことを得ん
