< 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.
Ary nahazo zara-tany tamin’ ny filokana koa ny firenen’ i Manase (fa izy no lahimatoan’ i Josefa), dia Makira, lahimatoan’ i Manase, rain’ i Gileada, fa izy no mpanafika ka nahazo an’ i Gileada sy Basana.
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.
Ary nisy koa ho an’ ny taranak’ i Manase sisa araka ny fokony, dia ho an’ ny taranak’ i Abiezera sy Heleka sy Asriela sy Sekema sy Hefera ary Semida: ireo no zanakalahin’ i Manase, zanak’ i Josefa, araka ny fokony.
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.
Fa Zelofada, zanak’ i Hefera, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Matira, zanak’ i Manase, kosa tsy mba nanan-janakalahy, fa zanakavavy ihany; ary izao no anaran’ ny zananivavy: Mahala sy Noa sy Hogla sy Milka ary Tirza.
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.
Dia nanatona teo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny loholona izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Jehovah efa nandidy an’ i Mosesy hanome anay zara-tany eo amin’ ny anadahinay. Ary dia nomeny lova teo amin’ ny rahalahin-drainy izy araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.
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;
Dia nahazo anjaram-polo Manase afa-tsy ny tany Gileada sy Basana, izay any an-dafin’ i Jordana,
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.
satria ny zanakavavin’ i Manase niara-nahazo lova tamin’ ny zananilahy; ary ny tany Gileada dia an’ ny zanakalahin’ i Manase sisa.
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.
Ary ny fari-tanin’ i Manase dia hatrany Asera ka hatrany Mikmeta, tandrifin’ i Sekema, dia nandroso tamin’ ny ankavanana hatramin’ ny mponina any En-tapoa.
8 To Menasseh belonged the land of Tappuach; but Tappuach on the borders of Menasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
Ary an’ i Manase ny tany Tapoa; fa Tapoa kosa, izay eo amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Manase, dia an’ ny taranak’ i Efraima.
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:
Ary ny fari-taniny dia nidina hatreo atsimon’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Kana; ireo tanana teo amin’ ny tanànan’ i Manase ireo dia an’ i Efraima; ary ny faritaniny Manase dia teo avaratry ny lohasahan-driaka, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina.
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.
Ny atsimo dia an’ i Efraima, ary ny avaratra dia an’ i Manase, ary ny ranomasina no fari-taniny; ary nihatra tamin’ i Asera teo avaratra sy tamin’ Isakara teo atsinanana izy.
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.
Ary Manase nahazo anjara koa teo amin’ Isakara sy teo amin’ i Asera, dia Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary Ibleama sy ny zana-bohiny ay ny mponina any Dora sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any En-dora koa sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Tanaka sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Megido sy ny zana-bohiny, dia amin’ ny havoana telo ireo.
12 Yet the children of Menasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities; but the Canaanites succeeded to dwell in this land;
Kanefa tsy nahazo ireo tanàna ireo ny taranak’ i Manase: fa tian’ ny Kananita hitoerana indrindra izany tany izany.
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.
Fa rehefa nihahery ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nampanao fanompoana ny Kananita izy, fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra.
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?
Dia niteny tamin’ i Josoa ny taranak’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no lova iray sy anjara iray ihany no nomenao ahy, kanefa aho efa tonga firenena lehibe, fa notahin’ Jehovah toy izao mandraka ankehitriny?
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.
Dia hoy Josoa taminy: Raha firenena lehibe ary ianao, dia miakara any amin’ ny ala, ka miteveza honenanao any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Perizita sy ny Refaïta, fa terỳ loatra aminao ny tany havoan’ i Efraima.
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.
Dia hoy ny taranak’ i Josefa: Tsy ampy ho anay ny tany havoana; ary manana kalesy vy ny Kananita rehetra, izay monina any amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia izay any Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary izay any amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela.
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;
Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa, dia Efraima sy Manase: Firenena lehibe ianao ka mahery indrindra: tsy anjara iray ihany no ho azonao, fa tany havoana koa;
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.
fa ala izany ka tevezo, dia ho anao ny an-tsisiny: fa handroaka ny Kananita ianao, na dia manana kalesy vy aza izy ireo sady mahery.
