< Joshua 17 >

1 And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Sie ipin acn roto in Infacl Jordan tuh itukyang nu sin kutu sou in sruf lal Manasseh, su tulik se oemeet natul Joseph. Na Machir, papa tumal Gilead, el wen se oemeet natul Manasseh ac el mwet pwengpeng ke mweun se, pa sis acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan itukyang lal.
2 And the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
Acn roto in Infacl Jordan itukyang nu sin sou lula lal Manasseh: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, ac Shemida. Pa inge mukul lula natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, ac elos sifen kais sie sou.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Na Zelophehad, su ma natul Hepher, natul Gilead, natul Machir, natul Manasseh, wangin mukul natul — mutan mukena, ac inelos pa Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying: 'The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren'; therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Elos som nu yorol Eleazar mwet tol, ac nu yorol Joshua wen natul Nun, ac nu yurin mwet kol ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses elan ase ipin acn lasr in oapana ke mukul wiasr inge eis acn lalos.” Na elos sang acn sin mutan inge, in oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
5 And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
Pa inge sripa se sis tuh oasr pac ip singoul itukyang nu sin Manasseh in weang acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan,
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons; and the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
mweyen itukyang acn sin mukul oayapa mutan natul Manasseh. Acn Gilead itukyang nu sin mwet lula nukewa in sruf lal Manasseh.
7 And the border of Manasseh was, beginning from Asher, Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. —
Facl sel Manasseh pa som Asher lac nwe sun acn Michmethath, kutulap in acn Shechem. Na masrol sac fahla eir lac nu ke acn lun mwet Entappuah.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. —
Acn ma raunela siti Tappuah ma lal Manasseh, tusruktu siti se inge Tappuah ma oan fin masrol an, ma lun tulik natul Ephraim.
9 And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook, by cities which belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh; but the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and the goings out thereof were at the sea:
Na masrol an putati som nwe ke infacl srisrik Kanah. Siti nukewa ma oan eir in infacl srisrik soko ah ma lun tulik natul Ephraim, finne siti inge oan in facl lal Manasseh. Masrol lal Manasseh uh fahla epang sisken infacl srisrik soko ah nwe safla Meoa Mediterranean.
10 southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
Acn eir ma lal Ephraim, ac acn epang ma lal Manasseh, ac masrol lalos nu roto pa Meoa Mediterranean. Ac masrol nu roto epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Asher, ac masrol nu kuta epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Issachar.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three regions.
Luin acn sel Issachar ac Asher, acn ekasr inge oan loac, tuh ma lal Manasseh: Beth Shan ac Ibleam ac inkul nukewa ma raunela, oayapa acn Dor (su oan sisken Meoa Mediterranean), Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, ac inkul nukewa ma raunela.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites were resolved to dwell in that land.
Tusruktu, mwet Manasseh elos koflana lusak mwet in siti ingo, oru mwet Canaan elos mutana we.
13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, but did not utterly drive them out.
Finne pacl se ma mwet Israel elos arulana kui, elos tiana luselosla, tusruktu elos sang orekma upa nu faclos.
14 And the children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying: 'Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me thus?'
Na tulik natul Joseph fahk nu sel Joshua, “Efu kom ku ase ipin acn sefanna tuh in ma lasr? Kut arulana pus, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kut.”
15 And Joshua said unto them: 'If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.'
Ac Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Kowos fin arulana pus, ac fineol Ephraim fin srikla nu suwos, na kowos utyak nu insak uh ac sifacna sakunla nu suwos kutu acn sin mwet Periz ac mwet Rephaim.”
16 And the children of Joseph said: 'The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.'
Ac elos topuk, “Facl sesr fineol uh tia fal nu sesr, tuh mwet Canaan su muta acn tupasrpasr uh oasr chariot osra natulos, kewana elos su muta Beth Shan ac elos su muta Infahlfal Jezreel ac acn nukewa ma raunela acn ingan.”
17 And Joshua spoke unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying: 'Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only;
Joshua el fahk nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh Roto, “Pwaye kowos arulana pus ac ku. Fal in pus liki ipin acn se na lowos.
18 but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they be strong.'
Fineol uh ma lowos. Finne acn ingan insak, kowos ac fah sakunla ac fah ma lowos nufon. Ac nu ke mwet Canaan an, kowos ac fah luselosla, elos finne mwet ku ac oasr chariot osra natulos.”
