Joshua 17
1 And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
Gawo lina la dzikolo linapatsidwa kwa mabanja ena a fuko la Manase, mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Yosefe. Makiri anali mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Manase ndiponso kholo la anthu okhala ku Giliyadi. Popeza kuti iye anali munthu wankhondo, analandira Giliyadi ndi Basani.
2 And there was [land] assigned to the other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi, and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these [are] the males according to their families.
Mabanja ena otsala a fuko la Manase amene analandira dziko ndi awa: Abiezeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Sekemu, Heferi ndi Semida. Izi ndi zidzukulu zina zazimuna za Manase mwana wa Yosefe ndiponso eni mbumba.
3 And Salpaad the sons of Opher had no sons but daughters: and these [are] the names of the daughters of Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
Panali Zelofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase. Iyeyu analibe ana aamuna koma aakazi okhaokha ndipo mayina awo ndi awa: Mahila, Nowa, Hogila, Milika ndi Tiriza.
4 And they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Iwo anapita kwa Eliezara wansembe, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndi atsogoleri ndipo anati: “Yehova analamula Mose kuti ife ndi alongo athu atipatse cholowa chathu.” Choncho iwowo pamodzi ndi abale a abambo awo anawapatsa dera lina la dzikolo kuti likhale monga mwa lamulo la Yehova.
5 And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
Choncho kuwonjezera pa mayiko a Giliyadi ndi Basani kummawa kwa Yorodani, anthu a fuko la Manase analandiranso magawo khumi
6 For the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
chifukwa ana aakazi a fuko la Manase analandira cholowa chawo pakati pa ana aamuna. Dziko la Giliyadi linali dziko la zidzukulu zonse za Manase.
7 And the borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders [even] to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
Malire a dziko la Manase anayambira ku Aseri, ndipo anakafika ku Mikimetati kummawa kwa Sekemu. Tsono malire anapita kummwera kuloza kwa anthu a ku Eni-Tapuwa.
8 It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.
(Manase anatenga dziko la Tapuwa, koma mzinda wa Tapuwawo, umene unali mʼmalire mwa Manase unali wa fuko la Efereimu).
9 And the borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ([there is] a turpentine tree [belonging] to Ephraim between [that and] the city of Manasse: ) and the borders of Manasse [are] northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.
Ndipo malire ake anapitirira kummwera mpaka ku mtsinje wa ku Kana. Mizinda ya kummwera kwa mtsinjewo inali ya fuko la Efereimu ngakhale kuti inali mʼdziko la Manase. Malire a fuko la Manase anapita kumpoto kwa mtsinje wa Kana ndi kukathera ku Nyanja.
10 Southward [the land belongs] to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
Dziko la kummwera linali la Efereimu ndipo la kumpoto linali la Manase. Dziko la Manase linafika ku nyanja ndipo linachita malire ndi Aseri, kumpoto ndiponso Isakara, kummawa.
11 And Manasses shall have in [the portion of] Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
Mʼdziko la Isakara ndi Aseri, Manase analinso ndi mizinda ya Beti-Seani ndi Ibuleamu pamodzi ndi midzi yawo yozungulira. Panalinso Akanaani amene ankakhala ku Dori, Endori, Taanaki ndi Megido pamodzi ndi mizinda yozungulira (wachitatu pa mʼndandandawu ndi Nafati Dori).
12 And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
Komabe anthu a fuko la Manase sanathe kuwapirikitsa anthu okhala mʼmizinda imeneyi. Choncho Akanaani anakhalabe mʼmizindayi.
13 And it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.
Ngakhale Aisraeli anali a mphamvu mʼdzikomo, sanapirikitse Akanaani onse koma anangowasandutsa kukhala akapolo.
14 And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Therefore have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
Anthu a fuko la Yosefe anati kwa Yoswa, “Chifukwa chiyani mwatipatsa gawo limodzi lokha la dziko kuti likhale cholowa chathu? Ife tilipo anthu ambiri popeza Yehova watidalitsa kwambiri.”
15 And Joshua said to them, If you be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for yourself, If mount Ephraim be too little for you.
Yoswa anayankha kuti, “Ngati muli ambiri ndipo dziko la ku mapiri la Efereimu lakucheperani kwambiri, lowani ku nkhalango mudule mitengo, mudzikonzere malo akuti mukhalemo, mʼdziko la Aperezi ndi Arefai.”
16 And they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan, and in its villages, [and] in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.
Tsono zidzukulu za Yosefe zinati, “Dziko la ku mapiri ndi losatikwaniradi, komanso Akanaani onse amene akukhala ku chigwa pamodzi ndi amene akukhala ku Beti-Seani ndi madera awo ndiponso amene ali ku chigwa cha Yezireeli ali ndi magaleta azitsulo.”
17 And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have [only] one inheritance.
Koma Yoswa anawuza zidzukulu za Yosefe, za fuko la Efereimu ndi za fuko la Manase kuti, “Inu mulipodi ambiri ndiponso amphamvu. Simulandira gawo limodzi lokha,
18 For you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and [the land] shall be your; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.
dziko la ku mapiri lidzakhalanso lanu. Ngakhale kuti ndi nkhalango yokhayokha koma inu mudzadula mitengo yake ndipo lidzakhala lanu mpaka kumapeto. Ngakhale kuti Akanaani ali ndi magaleta azitsulo ndiponso kuti iwo ndi amphamvu, koma inu mudzawapirikitsa.”
