Joshua 17
1 This was also the lot of the tribe of Manasseh: for he was the first borne of Ioseph, to wit, of Machir the first borne of Manasseh, and the father of Gilead: nowe because he was a man of warre, he had Gilead and Bashan.
默納協是若瑟的長子，他的支派抽籤分得了一份土地。默納協的長子，基肋阿得的父親瑪基爾，因為是個戰士，分得了基肋阿得和巴商。
2 And also of the rest of the sonnes of Manasseh by their families, euen of the sonnes of Abiezer, and of the sonnes of Helek, and of ye sonnes of Azriel, and of the sonnes of Shechem, and of the sonnes of Hepher, and of the sonnes of Shemida: these were the males of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph according to their families.
默納協的其餘子孫，赫肋克的子孫，阿斯黎耳的子孫，舍根的子孫，赫斐爾的子孫，舍米達的子孫：這些人按照家族，都是若瑟之子默納協後代的男丁。
3 But Zelophehad the sonne of Hephir, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, ye sonne of Manasseh, had no sonnes, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah:
但是默納協的玄孫，瑪基爾的曾孫，基肋阿得的鯀子，赫斐爾的兒子，責羅斐哈得沒有兒子，只有女兒，他的女兒名叫瑪赫拉、米耳加和提爾匝。
4 Which came before Eleazar the Priest, and before Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to giue vs an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandement of the Lord he gaue them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
她們來到司祭厄肋阿責爾和農的兒子若蘇厄、並首領們面前說：「上主曾吩咐過梅瑟，在我們弟兄們中，也分給我們一份產業。」若蘇厄遂照上主所吩咐的，使她們在伯叔中間，也分得了一份產業。
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side Iorden,
這樣，除約旦河東的基肋阿得和巴商二地外，尚有十分歸屬於默納協，
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh did inherite among his sonnes: and Manassehs other sonnes had the land of Gilead.
因為默納協的孫女，在默納協的孫子中也獲得產業；不過基肋阿得屬於默納協其餘的子孫。
7 So the borders of Manasseh were from Asher to Michmethah that lieth before Shechem, and this border goeth on the right hand, euen vnto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
默納協的地界，是從阿協爾起，到舍根對面的米革默塔特，再折向南，直達雅史布和恩塔普亞。
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah beside the border of Manasseh belongeth to the sonnes of Ephraim.
普亞地歸默納協，但默納協邊界上的特普亞城，卻屬厄弗辣因子孫。
9 Also this border goeth downe vnto the riuer Kanah Southward to the riuer: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh is on the Northside of the riuer, and the endes of it are at the Sea,
邊界由此向下伸至卡納谷；谷南的成市屬厄弗辣因，是厄弗辣因在默納協城市所有的城市。默納協的境界是由谷北，直到大海。
10 The South perteyneth to Ephraim, and the North to Manasseh, and the Sea is his border: and they met together in Asher Northwarde, and in Issachar Eastward.
南面屬厄弗辣因，北面屬默納協，以海為界；北接阿協爾，東部鄰依撒加爾。
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean, and her townes, and Ibleam, and her townes, and the inhabitants of Dor with ye townes thereof, and the inhabitants of En-dor with the townes thereof, and the inhabitants of Thaanach with her townes, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with the townes of the same, euen three countreis.
默納協在依撒加爾和阿協爾境內，有貝特商和所屬村鎮；依貝肋罕和所屬村鎮，多爾居民和所屬村鎮，還有恩多爾居民和所屬村鎮，塔納客居民和所屬村鎮，默基多居民和所屬村鎮，共三區。
12 Yet the children of Manasseh coulde not destroy those cities, but the Canaanites dwelled still in that land.
但是默納協子孫未能將這些城中的土人趕走，客納罕人仍然居住在這地區內。
13 Neuerthelesse, when the children of Israel were strong, they put the Canaanites vnder tribute, but cast them not out wholy.
當以色列子民強冊盛以後，迫使客納罕人做苦工，卻沒有將他們完全趕走。
14 Then the children of Ioseph spake vnto Ioshua, saying, Why hast thou giuen me but one lot, and one portion to inherite, seeing I am a great people, for as much as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto?
若瑟的子孫對若蘇厄說：「上主這樣祝福我們，我們又是人數最多的一族，你為什麼只叫我們抽一籤，分一份土地作產業呢﹖
15 Ioshua then answered them, If thou be much people, get thee vp to the wood, and cut trees for thy selfe there in the lande of the Perizzites, and of the gyants, if mount Ephraim be too narowe for thee.
若蘇厄對他們說：「如果你們人數眾多，厄弗辣因為你們太癥狹小，可甘培黎齊人和勒法因人的地方去，砍伐森林中的樹木。」
16 Then the children of Ioseph saide, The mountaine will not be ynough for vs: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the lowe countrey haue charets of yron, aswell they in Beth-shean, and in the townes of the same, as they in the valley of Izreel.
若瑟的子孫回答說：「這山區為我們仍不夠，何況住在盆地，即住在貝特商和所屬村鎮，以及住在依次勒耳盆地的一切客納罕人，都擁有鐵車。」
17 And Ioshua spake vnto the house of Ioseph, to Ephraim, and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power, and shalt not haue one lot.
若蘇厄對若瑟家，即對厄弗辣因和默納協人說：「你們人數眾多，勢力強大，不能只抽一籤，
18 Therefore the mountaine shall be thine: for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it downe: and the endes of it shall be thine, and thou shalt cast out the Canaanites, though they haue yron charets, and though they be strong.
因此，山地也應歸於你們；那裏雖是森林，盡可砍伐，開闢的土地自然歸於你們。客納罕人雖然擁有鐵車，勢力強大，但你們必能將他們趕走。」
