Joshua 17

1 and to be [the] allotted to/for tribe Manasseh for he/she/it firstborn Joseph to/for Machir firstborn Manasseh father [the] Gilead for he/she/it to be man battle and to be to/for him [the] Gilead and [the] Bashan

Huu ndio mgawo wa kabila la Manase kama mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Yosefu, yaani kwa ajili ya Makiri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Manase. Makiri alikuwa baba wa Wagileadi, ambao walipokea Gileadi na Bashani kwa sababu Wamakiri walikuwa askari wakuu.

2 and to be to/for son: descendant/people Manasseh [the] to remain to/for family their to/for son: descendant/people Abiezer and to/for son: descendant/people Helek and to/for son: descendant/people Asriel and to/for son: descendant/people Shechem and to/for son: descendant/people Hepher and to/for son: descendant/people Shemida these son: descendant/people Manasseh son: child Joseph [the] male to/for family their

Kwa hiyo mgawo huu ulikuwa kwa ajili ya watu wa Manase waliokuwa wamebaki, ambao ni koo za Abiezeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Shekemu, Heferi na Shemida. Hawa ndio wanaume wale wengine wa uzao wa Manase mwana wa Yosefu kwa koo zao.

3 and to/for Zelophehad son: child Hepher son: child Gilead son: child Machir son: child Manasseh not to be to/for him son: child that if: except if: except daughter and these name daughter his Mahlah and Noah Hoglah Milcah and Tirzah

Basi Selofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Gileadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase hakuwa na wana waume ila mabinti tu, ambao majina yao yalikuwa Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tirsa.

4 and to present: come to/for face: before Eleazar [the] priest and to/for face: before Joshua son: child Nun and to/for face: before [the] leader to/for to say LORD to command [obj] Moses to/for to give: give to/for us inheritance in/on/with midst brother: male-sibling our and to give: give to/for them to(wards) lip LORD inheritance in/on/with midst brother: male-sibling father their

Wakamwendea kuhani Eleazari, Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na viongozi, wakasema: “Bwana alimwagiza Mose atupatie urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zetu.” Kwa hiyo Yoshua akawapa urithi pamoja na ndugu wa baba yao, kufuatana na agizo la Bwana.

5 and to fall: kill cord Manasseh ten to/for alone: besides from land: country/planet [the] Gilead and [the] Bashan which from side: beside to/for Jordan

Fungu la Manase lilikuwa na sehemu kumi za nchi, licha ya Gileadi na Bashani mashariki mwa Yordani,

6 for daughter Manasseh to inherit inheritance in/on/with midst son: child his and land: country/planet [the] Gilead to be to/for son: child Manasseh [the] to remain

kwa sababu wale binti za kabila la Manase walipokea urithi miongoni mwa wana wa kiume. Nchi ya Gileadi ilikuwa mali ya wazao wa Manase waliobaki.

7 and to be border: area Manasseh from Asher [the] Michmethath which upon face: surface Shechem and to go: went [the] border: boundary to(wards) [the] right: south to(wards) to dwell En-tappuah En-tappuah

Eneo la Manase lilienea kuanzia Asheri hadi Mikmeta mashariki mwa Shekemu. Mpaka ule ulielekea upande wa kusini kutoka pale kujumuisha watu walioishi En-Tapua.

8 to/for Manasseh to be land: country/planet Tappuah and Tappuah to(wards) border: boundary Manasseh to/for son: descendant/people Ephraim

(Nchi ya Tapua ilikuwa mali ya Manase, lakini Tapua yenyewe iliyo mpakani mwa nchi ya Manase ilikuwa ya Waefraimu.)

9 and to go down [the] border: boundary torrent: river Kanah south [to] to/for torrent: river city [the] these to/for Ephraim in/on/with midst city Manasseh and border: boundary Manasseh from north to/for torrent: river and to be outgoing his [the] sea [to]

Kisha mpaka ule uliendelea kuelekea kusini hadi Bonde la Kana. Kulikuwepo miji ya Efraimu iliyokuwa miongoni mwa miji ya Manase, lakini mpaka wa Manase ulikuwa upande wa kaskazini wa lile bonde na kuishia kwenye bahari.

10 south [to] to/for Ephraim and north [to] to/for Manasseh and to be [the] sea border: boundary his and in/on/with Asher to fall on [emph?] from north and in/on/with Issachar from east

Nchi ya kusini ilikuwa ya Efraimu, na ile iliyokuwa upande wa kaskazini ilikuwa ya Manase. Eneo la Manase lilifika bahari na ikapakana na Asheri upande wa kaskazini, na Isakari upande wa mashariki.

11 and to be to/for Manasseh in/on/with Issachar and in/on/with Asher Beth-shean Beth-shean and daughter: village her and Ibleam and daughter: village her and [obj] to dwell Dor and daughter: village her and to dwell En-dor En-dor and daughter: village her and to dwell Taanach and daughter: village her and to dwell Megiddo and daughter: village her three [the] Naphath

Katika Isakari na Asheri Manase alikuwa na miji pia: Beth-Shani, Ibleamu na watu wa Dori, Endori, Taanaki na Megido, pamoja na vijiji vyote vinavyohusika na miji hiyo (ya tatu katika orodha ni Nafothi).

12 and not be able son: descendant/people Manasseh to/for to possess: take [obj] [the] city [the] these and be willing [the] Canaanite to/for to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet [the] this

Lakini Wamanase hawakuweza kuimiliki miji hii, kwa kuwa Wakanaani walikazana kuishi katika maeneo hayo.

13 and to be for to strengthen: strengthen son: descendant/people Israel and to give: put [obj] [the] Canaanite to/for taskworker and to possess: take not to possess: take him

Hata hivyo, Waisraeli walivyoendelea kupata nguvu waliwatumikisha Wakanaani na kuwatia katika kazi za kulazimishwa, lakini hawakuwafukuza kabisa.

14 and to speak: speak son: descendant/people Joseph with Joshua to/for to say why? to give: give to/for me inheritance allotted one and cord one and I people many till which till thus to bless me LORD

Watu wa Yosefu wakamwambia Yoshua, “Kwa nini umetupa sisi mgawo mmoja tu na sehemu moja tu kuwa urithi? Sisi tu watu wengi sana, na Bwana ametubariki kwa wingi.”

15 and to say to(wards) them Joshua if people many you(m. s.) to ascend: rise to/for you [the] wood [to] and to create to/for you there in/on/with land: country/planet [the] Perizzite and [the] Rephaim for to hasten to/for you mountain: hill country Ephraim

Yoshua akajibu, “Kama ninyi ni wengi sana, na kama nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu ni ndogo sana kwenu, pandeni msituni mkafyeke eneo kwa ajili yenu wenyewe huko kwenye nchi ya Waperizi na Warefai.”

16 and to say son: descendant/people Joseph not to find to/for us [the] mountain: hill country and chariot iron in/on/with all [the] Canaanite [the] to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet [the] Valley (of Jezreel) to/for which in/on/with Beth-shean Beth-shean and daughter: village her and to/for which in/on/with Valley (of Jezreel) (Valley of) Jezreel

Watu wa Yosefu wakajibu, “Hiyo nchi ya vilima haitutoshi, nao Wakanaani wote wanaoishi katika tambarare wanayo magari ya vita ya chuma, wote wa Beth-Shani na miji yake, na wale walio katika Bonde la Yezreeli.”

17 and to say Joshua to(wards) house: household Joseph to/for Ephraim and to/for Manasseh to/for to say people many you(m. s.) and strength great: large to/for you not to be to/for you allotted one

Lakini Yoshua akanena na nyumba ya Yosefu, yaani Efraimu na Manase: “Ninyi ni wengi sana na wenye nguvu sana. Hamtakuwa na mgawo mmoja tu,

18 for mountain: hill country to be to/for you for wood he/she/it and to create him and to be to/for you outgoing his for to possess: take [obj] [the] Canaanite for chariot iron to/for him for strong he/she/it

bali pia nchi hii ya kilima yenye msitu. Ifyekeni, nayo mipaka yake itakuwa yenu umbali mtakaoweza kufika. Ingawa Wakanaani wana magari ya chuma, nao wana nguvu, mwaweza kuwafukuza humo.”
