< 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.
Tam je bil tudi žreb za Manásejev rod, kajti on je bil Jožefov prvorojenec. Namreč zaradi Manásejevega prvorojenca Mahírja, Gileádovega očeta, ker je bil bojevnik, zato je imel Gileád in Bašán.
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.
Tam je bil tudi žreb za preostanek Manásejevih otrok po njihovih družinah za otroke Abiézerja in za otroke Heleka in za otroke Asriéla in za otroke Sihema in za otroke Heferja in za otroke Šemidája. To so bili dečki Manáseja, Jožefovega sina po njihovih družinah.
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.
Toda Celofhád, sin Heferja, sin Gileáda, sin Mahírja, sin Manáseja, ni imel sinov, temveč hčere. To so imena njegovih hčera: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka in Tirca.
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.
Prišle so blizu, pred duhovnika Eleazarja in pred Nunovega sina Józueta in pred prince, rekoč: » Gospod je zapovedal Mojzesu, da nam daste dediščino med našimi brati.« Zato jim je glede na Gospodovo zapoved dal dediščino med brati njihovega očeta.
5 Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,
Tam je padlo deset deležev Manáseju, poleg gileádske in bašánske dežele, ki sta bili na drugi strani Jordana,
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).
kajti Manásejeve hčere so imele dediščino med njegovimi sinovi. Preostanek Manásejevih sinov pa je imel deželo Gileád.
7 The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.
Manásejeva pokrajina je bila od Aserja do Mihmetáta, ki leži pred Sihemom. Meja je potekala vzdolž desne roke do prebivalcev En Tapúaha.
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.
Torej Manáse je imel deželo Tapúah, toda Tapúah na Manásejevi meji je pripadal Efrájimovim otrokom
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.
in pokrajina se je spustila k reki Kano, južno od reke; ta Efrájimova mesta so med Manásejevimi mesti. Tudi Manásejeve pokrajine so bile na severni strani reke in njihovi izhodi so bili pri morju.
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.
Proti jugu je bilo Efrájimovo in proti severu je bilo Manásejevo in morje je njegova meja in na severu sta se srečala v Aserju in na vzhodu v Isahárju.
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.
Manáse je imel v Isahárju in v Aserju Bet Šeán in njegova mesta, Jibleám in njegova mesta, prebivalce Dora in njegova mesta, prebivalce En Dora in njegova mesta, prebivalce Taanáha in njegova mesta in prebivalce Megída ter njegova mesta, torej tri dežele.
12 But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.
Vendar Manásejevi otroci niso mogli napoditi prebivalcev teh mest, temveč so v tej deželi hoteli prebivati Kánaanci.
13 However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.
Vendar se je pripetilo, ko so Izraelovi otroci postali močni, da so Kánaance podvrgli davku, toda niso jih popolnoma pognali ven.
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?”
Jožefovi otroci so spregovorili Józuetu, rekoč: »Zakaj si mi dal, da podedujem samo en žreb in en delež, glede na to, da sem veliko ljudstvo, ker me je Gospod doslej blagoslavljal?«
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.”
Józue jim je odgovoril: »Če si veliko ljudstvo, potem se dvigni v gozdnato deželo in tam posekaj zase, v deželi Perizéjcev in velikanov, če je gora Efrájim zate preozka.«
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.”
Jožefovi otroci so rekli: »Hrib ni dovolj za nas in vsi Kánaanci, ki prebivajo v dolinski deželi, imajo vozove iz železa, tako tisti, ki so iz Bet Šeána in njegovih mest in tisti, ki so iz doline Jezreél.«
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.
Józue je spregovoril Jožefovi hiši, torej Efrájimu in Manáseju, rekoč: »Ti si veliko ljudstvo in imaš veliko moč. Ne boš imel samo enega deleža.
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.”
Toda gora bo tvoja, kajti to je les in ti ga boš posekal in dohodek od tega bo tvoj, kajti napodil boš Kánaance, čeprav imajo železne vozove in čeprav so močni.«
