< Joshua 17 >

1 This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Makir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
A ko te rota tenei i te iwi o Manahi; ko ia hoki te matamua a Hohepa. I a Makiri, i te matamua a Manahi, matua o Kireara, i te mea he tangata hapai pakanga ia, i a ia a Kireara, a Pahana.
2 So this was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh according to their families: for the descendants of Abiezer, for the descendants of Helek, for the descendants of Asriel, for the descendants of Shechem, for the descendants of Hepher, and for the descendants of Shemida: these were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
A ko te rota i era atu tama a Manahi, i o ratou hapu; i nga tama a Apietere, i nga tama a Hereke, i nga tama a Ahariere, i nga tama a Hekeme, i nga tama a Hewhere, i nga tama hoki a Hemira: ko nga tama enei a Manahi tama a Hohepa, i o ratou hapu.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Otiia kahore he tama a Teropehara, tama a Hewhere, tama a Kireara, tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi; engari he tamahine: a ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine, ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mireka, ko Tirita.
4 They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
Na ka whakatata ratou ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro o Hohua tama a Nunu, ki te aroaro ano hoki o nga ariki, a ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa i a Mohi kia homai he kainga tupu ki a matou i roto i o matou tungane. Na homai ana e ia ki a ratou ta Ihowa i ki ai, he kainga tupu i roto i nga teina o to ratou papa.
5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
A tekau nga wahi i taka ki a Manahi, haunga te whenua o Kireara, o Pahana, i tawahi o Horano;
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
No te mea i whiwhi nga tamahine a Manahi i te wahi tupu i roto i ana tama; a i riro te whenua o Kireara i nga tama a Manahi i mahue.
7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand to Jashub and to En Tappuah.
A ko te rohe ki a Manahi kei a Ahera a tae noa ki Mikimeta, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Hekeme; a i haere tonu te rohe ki matau, ki nga tangata o Enetapua.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to the descendants of Ephraim.
I a Manahi te whenua o Tapua: ko Tapua ia i te rohe o Manahi, i nga tama a Eparaima tera.
9 The border went down to Wadi Kanah, southward of the wadi. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the wadi, and ended at the sea.
A i puta atu te rohe ki te awa, ki Kana, whaka te tonga o te awa: ko enei pa no Eparaima i roto i nga pa o Manahi: a ko te rohe o Manahi i te taha tuaraki o te awa, a ko ona putanga kei te moana:
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
I a Eparaima te taha ki te tonga, a i a Manahi te taha ki te raki, a ko te moana te rohe ki a ia; a i tutaki raua ki a Ahera ki te raki, ki a Ihakara hoki ki te rawhiti.
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 Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; three regions.
A i riro i a Manahi i roto i to Ihakara, i to Ahera, a Peteheana me ona pa ririki, a Ipireama me ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Eneroro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Taanaka, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki, ara e toru nga taumata.
12 Yet the descendants of Manasseh couldn't drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Otiia kihai i taea e nga tama a Manahi te pei nga tangata o aua pa; ko nga Kanaani ia i whakamate kia noho tonu i taua whenua.
13 It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Na, no ka kaha nga tama a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaimahi, a kahore i peia rawatia atu e ratou.
14 The descendants of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since I am a great people, because the LORD has blessed me so far?"
Na ka korero nga tama a Hohepa ki a Hohua, ka mea, Na te aha i kotahi tonu ai te rota, i kotahi ai te wahi i homai e koe ki ahau hei kainga tupu, he iwi nui nei hoki ahau, a he manaakitanga hoki ahau na Ihowa a mohoa noa nei?
15 Joshua said to them, "If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you."
Na ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Ki te mea he iwi nui koe, haere ki te ngahere tua ai he wahi mau i reira, i te whenua o nga Perihi ratou ko nga Repaima; ina hoki he kuiti rawa te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima mou.
16 The descendants of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the Valley of Jezreel."
Na ka mea nga tama a Hohepa, He iti rawa te whenua pukepuke mo matou: a ko nga Kanaani katoa e noho ana i te wahi mania he hariata o ratou, o era e noho ra i Peteheana, i ona pa ririki, o era hoki i te mania i Ietereere.
17 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, "You are a great people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;
Na ka korero a Hohua ki te whare o Hohepa, ki a Eparaima raua ko Manahi, ka mea, He iwi nui koe, he nui hoki tou kaha: e kore e kotahi tonu te rota mou:
18 but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong."
Engari mou ano te whenua pukepuke; ahakoa hoki he ngahere ia, mau e tua, a mou ona putanga atu; ka peia atu hoki e koe nga Kanaani, he ahakoa to ratou whai hariata rino, me to ratou kaha.
