Joshua 17
1 And the lot for the tribe of Manasseh was, for, he, was the firstborn of Joseph, —as for Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because, he, was a man of war, therefore had he Gilead and Bashan.
Omugabo ne guweebwa ekika kya Manase kubanga ye yali omubereberye owa Yusufu. Makiri omubereberye wa Manase era kitaawe wa Gireyaadi yaweebwa Gireyaadi ne Basani, era yali mulwanyi muzira.
2 So the lot pertained to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, by their families, to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida, —these, were the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, even the male descendants, by their families.
Era emigabo ne giweeba abaana ba Manase abalala nga bwe baali bazaalibwa mu buli maka. Omugabo gw’abaana ba Abiyezeeri, n’ogw’abaana ba Kereki n’abaana ba Asuliyeri n’ogw’abaana ba Sekemu, n’ogw’abaana ba Keferi, n’ogw’abaana ba Semida be baana bonna aboobulenzi aba Manase omwana wa Yusufu ng’amaka mwe baazaalibwa bwe gaali.
3 But, Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, —and, these, are the names of his daughters, Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Naye Zerofekadi mutabani wa Keferi mutabani wa Gireyaadi mutabani wa Manase teyazaala baana balenzi wabula bawala bokka era baali bayitibwa Maala ne Noowa, ne Kogula, ne Mirika ne Tiruza.
4 And they had come near, before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh, commanded Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren, —And he had given them, according to the bidding of Yahweh, an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father.
Bano baagenda eri Eriyazaali kabona ne Yoswa omwana wa Nuuni n’abakulu ne babagamba nti, “Mukama yalagira Musa okutuwa omugabo nga baganda baffe.” Yoswa kyeyava abawa ettaka nga Mukama bwe yalagira. Yabawa omugabo mu baganda bakitaabwe.
5 Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, —besides the land of Gilead, and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
Bw’atyo Manase n’afuna ebitundu kkumi ng’oggyeko ensi ya Gireyaadi ne Basani ebiri emitala wa Yoludaani,
6 because, the daughters of Manasseh, received an inheritance in the midst of his sons, —and, the land of Gilead, became the possession of the sons of Manasseh that remained.
kubanga abaana ba Manase abawala baafuna omugabo ng’abaana be abalenzi. Ensi ya Gireyaadi yaweebwa abaana ba Manase abaali basigaddewo ne bagitwala.
7 So then the boundary of Manasseh was from Asher, Michmethath, which faceth Shechem, —and the boundary goeth along unto the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
N’ensalo ya Manase yava ku Aseri n’etuuka ku Mikumesasi ebuvanjuba bwa Sekemu, n’eyita ku bukiikaddyo n’ekka n’etwaliramu abantu abaali mu Entappua.
8 Manasseh, had the land of Tappuah, —but, Tappuah itself, towards the boundary of Manasseh, pertained unto the sons of Ephraim;
Ensi ya Tappua Manase n’agitwala wabula Tappua ekibuga ekyali ku nsalo ya Manase abaana ba Efulayimu be baakigabana.
9 and the boundary goeth down to the ravine of Kanah, southward of the ravine, these cities, belong to Ephraim, in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, —but, the boundary of Manasseh, was on the north side of the ravine, and the extensions thereof were to the sea;
Ensalo n’ekka n’etuuka ku kagga Kana ku luuyi mu bukiikakkono obw’omugga. Bino bye bibuga bya Efulayimu ebiri mu bibuga bya Manase, naye ensalo ya Manase yali mu bukiikakkono obwa kagga n’ekoma ku nnyanja.
10 southward, pertaineth to Ephraim, and, northward, to Manasseh, and the sea was the boundary thereof, —and they touch, Asher, on the north, and Issachar on the east.
Efulayimu n’atwala oluuyi olw’omu bukiikaddyo ne Manase n’atwala oluuyi olw’omu bukiikakkono n’ensalo ye n’ekoma ku nnyanja mu bukiikakkono n’etuuka ku Aseri ate ebuvanjuba n’etuuka ku Isakaali.
11 And Manasseh had—in Issachar and in Asher—Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns—the three heights,
Mu nsi ya Isakaali n’eya Aseri, Manase n’atwala Besuseani n’ebibuga byakyo ne Ibuleamu n’ebibuga byakyo n’abaali mu Endoli n’ebibuga byakyo n’abaali mu Doli n’abaali mu Taanaki n’ebibuga byakyo, n’abaali mu Megiddo n’ebibuga byakyo z’ensozi essatu.
12 The sons of Manasseh, however, could not dispossess these cities, —but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land;
Naye abaana ba Manase tebasobola kugobamu Bakanani kubanga baali bamaliridde okusigala mu nsi eyo.
13 but, when the sons of Israel had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, —though they, dispossessed, them not.
Naye abaana ba Isirayiri bwe beeyongera amaanyi ne bafuula Abakanani abaddu baabwe ab’okubakozesanga emirimu, ne batabeegoberako ddala.
14 Then spake the sons of Joseph unto Joshua, saying, —Why hast thou given me, as an inheritance, but one lot and one portion, seeing that, I, am a numerous people, because hitherto hath Yahweh blessed me.
Abaana ba Yusufu ne boogera ne Yoswa nti, “Lwaki ffe otuwadde omugabo gumu n’ekitundu kimu ate nga tuli kika kinene? Mukama atuwadde nnyo omukisa.”
15 And Joshua said unto them: If, a numerous people, thou art, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there, in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, —seeing that, too narrow for thee, is the hill country of Ephraim.
Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Obanga muli kika kinene mugende mu nsi y’Abaperezi n’ey’Abalefa mwesaayire ekibira, ensi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu nga bwe tebamala.”
16 And the sons of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us, —and there are, chariots of iron, among all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, belonging both to them in Bethshean, and her towns, and to them in the valley of Jezreel.
Abaana ba Yusufu ne bagamba nti, “Ensi ey’ensozi tetumala; ate nga Abakanani bonna abali mu nsi ey’ekiwonvu n’abali mu Besuseani n’ebibuga byakyo era n’abali mu kiwonvu eky’e Yezuleeri balina amagaali ag’ebyuma.”
17 And Joshua made answer unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, —A numerous people, thou art, and, great vigour, thou hast, thou shalt not have one lot only;
Yoswa n’ayogera eri ennyumba ya Yusufu, n’eya Efulayimu n’eya Manase nti, “Muli kika kinene era mulina amaanyi mangi temuliba na mugabo gumu gwokka,
18 for, the hill country, shall be thine, in that, a forest, it is, therefore canst thou cut it down, and thine shall be the extensions thereof, —for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though, chariots of iron, they have, and though, strong, they are.
naye ensi ey’ensozi eribeera yammwe, newaakubadde nga ya kibira mulikisaawa okutuuka gye kikoma, kubanga muligobamu Abakanani newaakubadde nga balina amagaali ag’ebyuma era nga baamaanyi.”
