< 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.
玛拿西是约瑟的长子,他的支派拈阄所得之地记在下面。至于玛拿西的长子基列之父玛吉,因为是勇士就得了基列和巴珊。
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.
玛拿西其余的子孙,按着宗族拈阄分地,就是亚比以谢子孙,希勒子孙,亚斯列子孙,示剑子孙,希弗子孙,示米大子孙;这些按着宗族,都是约瑟儿子玛拿西子孙的男丁。
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:
玛拿西的玄孙,玛吉的曾孙,基列的孙子,希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子,只有女儿。他的女儿名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒;
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.
她们来到祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚并众首领面前,说:“耶和华曾吩咐摩西在我们弟兄中分给我们产业。”于是约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的,在她们伯叔中,把产业分给她们。
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side Iorden,
除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外,还有十分地归玛拿西,
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh did inherite among his sonnes: and Manassehs other sonnes had the land of Gilead.
因为玛拿西的孙女们在玛拿西的孙子中得了产业。基列地是属玛拿西其余的子孙。
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.
玛拿西的境界:从亚设起,到示剑前的密米他,往北到隐·他普亚居民之地。
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah beside the border of Manasseh belongeth to the sonnes of Ephraim.
他普亚地归玛拿西,只是玛拿西境界上的他普亚城归以法莲子孙。
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,
其界下到加拿河的南边。在玛拿西城邑中的这些城邑都归以法莲。玛拿西的地界是在河北直通到海为止;
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.
南归以法莲,北归玛拿西,以海为界;北边到亚设,东边到以萨迦。
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.
玛拿西在以萨迦和亚设境内,有伯·善和属伯·善的镇市,以伯莲和属以伯莲的镇市,多珥的居民和属多珥的镇市;又有三处山冈,就是隐·多珥和属隐·多珥的镇市;他纳的居民和属他纳的镇市,米吉多的居民和属米吉多的镇市。
12 Yet the children of Manasseh coulde not destroy those cities, but the Canaanites dwelled still in that land.
只是玛拿西子孙不能赶出这些城的居民,迦南人偏要住在那地。
13 Neuerthelesse, when the children of Israel were strong, they put the Canaanites vnder tribute, but cast them not out wholy.
及至以色列人强盛了,就使迦南人做苦工,没有把他们全然赶出。
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?
约瑟的子孙对约书亚说:“耶和华到如今既然赐福与我们,我们也族大人多,你为什么仅将一阄一段之地分给我们为业呢?”
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.
约书亚说:“你们如果族大人多,嫌以法莲山地窄小,就可以上比利洗人、利乏音人之地,在树林中砍伐树木。”
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.
约瑟的子孙说:“那山地容不下我们,并且住平原的迦南人,就是住伯·善和属伯·善的镇市,并住耶斯列平原的人,都有铁车。”
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.
约书亚对约瑟家,就是以法莲和玛拿西人,说:“你是族大人多,并且强盛,不可仅有一阄之地,
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.
山地也要归你,虽是树林,你也可以砍伐;靠近之地必归你。迦南人虽有铁车,虽是强盛,你也能把他们赶出去。”
