Joshua 17
1 This was the allocation to the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn son. Machir was Manasseh's firstborn son who was the father of Gilead. Because Machir had been an excellent fighter, Gilead and Bashan had already been allocated to him.
Gamloding kihopna abannachu Joseph chillhah chamasa Manasseh phung akehkhat chu akipen ahi. Makir Manesseh chamasa chu Gilead dia apa ahi. Ama chilhah hohi galhatmi ahiyehun Jordan solam gamkaija um Gilead le Bashan chu anakipesa ahi.
2 The allocation was for the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, to the families of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by families.
Hitichun Jordan lhumlam gamkai Abizer, Helek, Asreil, Sechom, Hepher, chuleh Shemida hohi Manasseh phungkhai sung lah’a avatnalai insungho chan ding ahi. Hiche bahkhai hohin Joseph cha Manasseh chilhah pasalho thalheng ahiuve.
3 But Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons. He only had daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Ahiyeng vang'in Manasseh chapa Makir, Makir chapa Gilead, Gilead chapa Hepher, Hepher chapa Zelophahad chu cha neilou ahin, aman chanubou aneiyin amaho minchu Malah, Noah, Haglah, Milcah chuleh Tirzah ahiuve.
4 They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, and told them, “The Lord ordered Moses to give us an allocation of land along with our brothers.” So Joshua allotted land to them along with their brothers, as the Lord had ordered.
Hiche numei hohi, thempupa Eleazer, Nun chapa Joshua, chuleh Israel lamkaiho kommah ahungun hitin ahungseijun ahi, “Pakaiyin, Mose jah’a eyhole kasopiteu pasalho gamlodi eipehdiovin thupeh anapen ahi” atiove. Hijeh chun Joshua’n jong ama hochu Pakai thupeh banga apa-ngahteo chan bangin gamchu anapen ahi.
5 Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,
Hijeh chun Manasseh chan apumpi chu Jordan vadung galla Gilead leh Bashan gamchan banna chu gamchan oma hung lhingtan ahi.
6 because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an allocation along with the sons. (The land of Gilead had been allotted to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh).
Ajeh chu Manasseh chilhah numei hojong pasal chilhah chanto kibanga achanjeh’u ahi. (Gilead gamchu Manasseh chilhah pasal amoh ho kipeh ahi).
7 The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.
Manasseh phung gamgichu Asher gamgi hina kon in Secheme kom Micmethath changei jin ahung kikholutnin ahi. Hichea konchun gamgichu Micmethath’a kon in achesuhin Tappuah twinah putna komma chenna munho geijin ahung kilhung lut in ahi.
8 The land around Tappuah was allocated to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was on the border of Manasseh's land, was allocated to Ephraim.
Tappuah velkolla gamho chu Manasseh chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi a um Tappuah khopi tah vang chu Ephraim phung mite chan ahi.
9 From there the boundary ran down to the valley of Kenah. South of the valley some of the towns belonged to Ephraim among the towns of Manasseh. The boundary ran along the north side of the valley and ended at the sea.
Tappuah twinah putna akonnin Manasseh gamgi chun Kanah vadungneo chu ajuijin Meditteranean twikhanglen'ah alutnin ahi. Hiche vadungneo lhanglanga khopi phabep chu Manasseh gamsung ahi, ahinla hiche hochu atah beh’in Ephraim phungho chan ahi.
10 To the south the land belonged to Ephraim, and to the north, to Manasseh. The sea is the boundary. The boundary to the north was with Asher, and with Issachar to the east.
Alhanglhon invang, hiche vadungneo lhanglam gamchu Ephraimte chan ahi, chuleh vadungneo sahlang gamchu Manasseh te chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi vadungneo sahlang gamkai chutoh akilhonin Mediterranean nah a atangin ahi. Manasseh sahlang chu Asher gam ahin chuleh sahlang vangchu Issachar gam ahi.
11 The following towns with their associated villages were allocated to Manasseh but lay within the land of Issachar and Asher: Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor (on the coast), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
Ahivangin Issachar le Asher gamgi sunga um khopi ho, Beth-shan khopi, Ibleam khopi, Dor khopi (Hichu Naphoth-dor), Endor, Taanach khopi chule Megiddo khopi holeh agamsunga cheng hojouse chu Manasseh chan din anakipe tan ahi.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.
Ahinlah Manasseh chilhah chengse chun hiche khopi ho chu analalut joupou vin ahi. Amahon Canaan mite chu anadel-mang jou pouvin tuni geijin aum nalaijun hai.
13 However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.
Ahinlah khonunga Israelte ahung hatdoh phatnuvin Canaan mite chu soh in amang taovin ahi. Ahinlah agam sunguva kon in anodoh joupouvin ahi.
14 Then the descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked him, “Why have you given us only one allocation—only one share of the land—when there's so many of us because the Lord has blessed us so much?”
Joseph chilhahte Joshua kommah ahungun hiti hin ahung dong’ui, “Pakaiyin hibanga eipunsahuva ipi dinga kachenna dio gamhi chan khatbou neipeh ham?”
15 Joshua told them, “If there's so many of you, if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, then go and clear ground for yourselves from the forest in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”
Joshua’n adonbutnin “Nangho natamlheh jengtah uva Ephraim thinglhang gam nangho dinga aneotaha ahileh hiche Periz mitele Reph mite channa gammang lahkhu nangho dingin gakisuhtheng taovin atipeh in ahi.”
16 The descendants of Joseph replied, “The hill country isn't big enough for us, but the Canaanites living in the lowlands have iron chariots, both those in Beth-shan and its villages, and those in the valley of Jezreel.”
Joseph chilhahte chun adonbutnin, “Thinglhang gamhi keiho dingin alhing joupoi katiu hi atahbeh ahi. Ahinlah Canaan mite gamnomma cheng holeh Jezreel phaichamma um hohin thih sakol kangtalai aneiyun, amahohi keihon kadoudio vin ahahsa valle atiove.”
17 Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, “Since you are so many, and you are so strong, you will be given more than just one share.
Hichun Joshua’n Joseph chilhahte Ephraim le Manasseh phungmi teho kommah hitin aseije “Nanghohi natammuve nahatlheh jeng taove ahileh nangho dingahi chan khatval kipeding nahiuve.
18 You will be allocated the hill country in addition. Though it is forest, you will clear it and own it, from one end to the other. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots, and even though they are strong.”
Thinglhang gammang lahkhu nangho nachan bediu ahi. Nanghon nasuhtheng nom chanun gakisuhthengun agam lapen aningkoi changeijin galo tauvin phaichamma Canaan mite jeng jongkhu hatlheh uhenlang thih sakol kangtalai neijongleo ganodoh taovin,” ati.
