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.
Nahazo anjara an-tsapake ka ty fifokoa’ i Menasè; toe ie ty tañoloñoloña’ Iosefe; I Makire ty tañoloñoloña’ i Menasè naho ty rae’ i Gilade, aa kanao nilahin-defoñe, ie ty nahazo i Gilade naho i Basane.
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.
Nahazo tane an-tsapake ka o ana’ i Menasè ila’eo ty amo hasavereña’eo; ho amo ana’ i Abiezereo, naho o ana’ i Kelekeo, naho o ana’ i Asrieleo, naho o ana’ i Sekemeo, naho o ana’ i Hefereo, vaho o ana’ i Semidao; ie ro ana-dahi’ i Menasè, ana’ Iosefe, ty amo hasavereña’eo.
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.
Fe tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy t’i Tselofekhade, ana’ i Hefere, ana’ i Gilade, ana’ i Makire, ana’ i Menasè, fa anak’ ampela avao, inao ty añara’ o anak’ ampela’eo: i Maklae, i Noae, i Koglae, i Milkae naho i Tirtsae.
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.
Nimb’ añatrefa’ i Eleatsare mpisoroñe mb’eo iereo naho añatrefa’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, naho añatrefa’ o roandriañeo nanao ty hoe: Linili’ Iehovà t’i Mosè t’ie hitoloran-dova amo rahalahi’aio. Aa le amy lili’ Iehovày, nitolora’e lova amo longon-droae’eo.
5 Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,
Anjara folo ty nitsatoke ho a i Menasè mandikoatse i tane Gilade naho i Basaney, alafe’ Iardeney añe;
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).
amy te nanañ’ anjara amo ana-dahi’eo i anak’ ampela’ i Menasè rey; nahazo ty tane Gilade o ana’ i Menasè ila’eo.
7 The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.
Boak’ Asere pake Mikemetà aolo’ i Sekeme ty efe’ i Menasè; mionjomb’eo i efetsey añ’ila’e ankavana mb’ an-kiboho’ i En-Tapoà mb’eo.
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.
A i Menasè ty tane’ i Tapoà’ fe a o ana’ i Efraimeo ty ila’ i Tapoà mifañefetse amy Menasè.
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.
Mizotso mb’ an-tsaka Kanà mb’eo i efetsey, atimo’ i sakay, (a i Efraime añivo’ i Menasè ao i rova rey), mañolotse ty avara’ i sakay ty efe’ i Menasè vaho mandoak’ an-driakey.
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.
Mañatimo ty a’ i Efraime naho mañavaratse ty a’ i Menasè, le i riakey ro efe’e; mahatakatse i Asere t’ie avaratse naho Isakhare te atiñanañe.
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.
Hoe zao o rova’ i Menasè e Isakhare naho e Asereo: i Beteseane naho o tanà’eo naho Ibleame naho o tanà’eo naho o mpimone’ i Dore naho o tanà’eo naho o mpimone’ i Endore rekets’ o tanà’eo, naho o mpimone’ i Taanàke rekets’ o tanà’eo vaho o mpimone’ i Megido rekets’ o tanà’eo, fifeheañe telo.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.
Tsy nahafandroake o mpimone’ i rova reio t’i Menasè; fe nifonem-pitobok’ amy taney o nte-Kanàneo.
13 However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.
Aa naho nitombo ty haozara’ o ana’ Israeleo le nametsaha’ iareo haba o nte-Kanàneo, fa tsy fonga rinoake.
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?”
Ninday saontsy am’ Iehosoa ka o ana’ Iosefeo nanao ty hoe: Aa vaho akore te tinolo’o anjara raike naho vaki’e ho lovako, ie oniñe te ondaty jabajaba ami’ty fitahia’ Iehovà ahy?
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.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iehosoa: Aa kanao ondaty ra’elahy irehe, akia mb’ añ’ala mb’eo vaho hatsafo ho azo ty tanen-te Perize naho ty a o Rafào, ie maifitse ama’o o vohibohi’ i Efraimeo.
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.”
Le hoe o ana’ Iosefeo: Tsy mahatsak’ anay o vohibohitseo, naho songa manan-tsarete viñe o nte-Kanàne mimoneñe am-bavataneo, o e Beteseane naho amo tanà’eo vaho o amy vavatane’ Iizreeleio.
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.
Tinoi’ Iehosoa i anjomba’ Iosefey, i Efraime naho i Menasè, ty hoe: Kanao ondaty jabajaba irehe, lifots-aozarañe; tsy ho anjara raik’ avao ty ho azo;
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.”
fe ho azo i vohibohitsey, fa ndra t’ie ala, ho hatsafe’o, le ho azo pak’añ’ efe’e lavitse añe; fa ho roahe’o o nte-Kanàneo ndra t’ie aman-tsarete viñe, ndra te maozatse.
