< Joshua 17 >
1 And then came the lot for the tribe of Menasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph: to wit, for Machir the first-born of Menasseh, the father of Gil'ad; because he was a man of war, therefore he obtained Gil'ad 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 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Menasseh after their families; for the children of Abi'ezer, and for the children of Chelek, and for the children of Assriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Chepher, and for the children of Shemida': these were the male children of Menasseh the son of Joseph after 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 Zelophchad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, and No'ah, Choglah, 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 And they came near before Elazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give unto us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them, according to the order of the Lord, 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 of Menasseh, beside the lands of Gil'ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan;
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 Menasseh obtained an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gil'ad belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
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 And the boundary of Menasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of 'En-tappuach.
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 To Menasseh belonged the land of Tappuach; but Tappuach on the borders of Menasseh belonged to the children 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 And the boundary descended unto the brook Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities belonging to Ephraim are in the midst of the cities of Menasseh; and the boundary of Menasseh was on the north side of the river, and its terminations were toward 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 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Menasseh's, and the sea was [there] his boundary; and on Asher they touched on the north, and on Issachar on the east.
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 to Menasseh belonged in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Yible'am and its towns, together with the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of 'En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ta'anach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, namely the three districts.
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 Menasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities; but the Canaanites succeeded to dwell in this 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 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were become strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but they did not drive them out.
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 And the children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, seeing I am a numerous people, to which extent the Lord hath hitherto blessed me?
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 And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a numerous people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down [a space] for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, if the mountain of Ephraim be too narrow 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 And the children of Joseph said, The mountain will not be enough for us; and chariots of iron are belonging to all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, to those who are at Beth-shean and its towns, and to those who are in the valley of Yizre'el.
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 Joshua said unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Menasseh, as followeth, Thou art a numerous people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only;
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 But the mountain shall be thine; it is indeed a wood, yet thou canst cut it down; and the terminations of it shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, 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。”
