Joshua 17
1 [This is a list of] the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh’s oldest son was Makir and his grandson was Gilead. Makir’s descendants were great warriors, so the lands in the Gilead and Bashan regions were allotted to their clan.
Joseph e a camin Manasseh ni cungpam a rayu awh teh, râw lah a coe awh e talai hateh, Manasseh e ca, Gilead e a na pa Makhir teh ransa lah ao dawk Gilead ram hoi Bashan ram a poe.
2 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
Joseph e ca lah kaawm Manasseh capanaw teh Abiezer capa, Halek capa, Asriel capa, Shekhem capa, Hepher capa, Shemida capa, naw ni imthung lahoi cungpam bout a rayu awh.
3 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Hateiteh, Manasseh, Makhir, Gilead, Hepher naw dawk hoi ka tho e Zelophehad teh ca tongpa awm hoeh. Canu dueng doeh kaawm. Ahnie canunaw teh Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, Tirzah doeh.
4 They went to Eleazar the Supreme Priest, and to Joshua and to the other Israeli leaders. They said, “[We want you to give us some land, because] Yahweh told Moses that he should give to us some land, just like you gave to the men.” So Eleazar did what Yahweh had commanded, and he allotted to them some land, just like he allotted to their uncles.
Hote napuinaw teh, vaihma bawi Eleazar, Nun e capa Joshua, kahrawinaw e hmalah a tho teh, kaimouh hoi rei tâcawt e hoi cungtalah râw coe hane kâ hah kaimouh hoi na poe van hanelah, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a dei pouh toe atipouh teh, BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e patetlah a na pa e hmaunawnghanaw hoi râw rei a coe awh hane kâ a poe.
5 So the tribe of Manasseh eventually had ten sections [of land west of the Jordan River] and [two sections, ] Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Telah Manasseh e canunaw teh a capanaw hoi râw rei a coe awh teh,
6 So those female descendants of Manasseh also were allotted land [on the west side of the river] just like the men were allotted. The other parts of the Gilead area were allotted to the male descendants of Manasseh.
Manasseh e capa tangawn ni Gilead ram hah a coe dawkvah, Jordan palang kanîtholah, Gilead ram hoi Bashan ram hoi a louk Manasseh catounnaw ni 10 touh a coe awh rah.
7 The land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was between the land where the tribe of Asher lives and Michmethath [town], near Shechem [city]. The border extended south to the Tappuah Spring.
Manasseh ram khori teh, Asher ram hoi Shekhem kho kanîtholah kaawm e Mikhmethat kho lah ka cet e aranglah, Entappuah kho lah a cei.
8 The land near the Tappuah area belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was at the border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
Tappuah khori teh Manasseh a tawn e lah ao ei, Manasseh e khori teng kaawm e Tappuah kho teh Ephraim ni tawn e lah ao.
9 The border [of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh] extended south to Kanah Gorge. From there it extended [west] along the north side of the gorge and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
Hahoi khori teh, Kanah palang akalah a cei teh Manasseh kho dawkvah Ephraim kho tangawn ao eiteh, palang hoi atunglae talai teh Manasseh e talai lah ao teh, tuipui dawk a pout.
10 The land on the south side of the gorge belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and the land on the north side belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. The western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was the [Mediterranean] Sea. To the north, the border of their land extended from the land allotted to the tribe of Asher [at the northwest] to the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar [at the northeast.]
Akalah Ephraim e talai, atunglah Manasseh e talai lah ao. Tuipui dawk a kâri teh, atunglah Asher ram, kanîtholah Issakhar ram ao.
11 But there are cities inside the area allotted to the tribes of Issachar and Asher. Those cities, along with their surrounding villages, were allotted to people from the tribe of Manasseh. These cities are Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Dor (which is also named Naphoth-Dor, ) Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
Hote ram dawkvah Manassehnaw ni a coe e ram kathum touh e teh, Bethshem kho hoi khotenaw, Ibleam kho hoi khotenaw, Dor kho hoi khotenaw dor kho hoi khotenaw, Endor kho hoi khotenaw, Taanakh kho hoi khotenaw, Megiddo kho hoi khotenaw, hah a coe sin awh rah.
12 The men of the tribe of Manasseh were not able to force the people who lived in those cities to leave, so the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live in those cities.
Hateiteh, Manasseh miphunnaw ni hote khonaw hah a pâlei thai hoeh dawkvah, Kanaannaw teh a tâ totouh hote hmuen koe ao awh.
13 But [years later] when the Israelis became better [warriors], they forced the Canaan people-group to work for them as slaves, although they did not force them to leave the land.
Isarelnaw teh a tha hoe a sai awh torei teh, Kanaannaw hah koung pâlei laipalah aphawng a rawng sak awh.
14 The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh said to Joshua, “You allotted to us only one area of land, but there are a lot of us. Yahweh has blessed us very much [with the result that our tribe has grown very large]. So why did you give us only a small part of the land [RHQ]?”
Joseph miphunnaw ni hai kaimanaw teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e yawhawi ka hmu teh miphun kalen poung lah ka o teh, nang ni ram buet touh dueng hah na poe telah Joshua hah pacei.
15 Joshua replied to them, “[I agree that] you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to [cut down the trees] in the forest [and] make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.”
Joshua ni nangmanaw teh, miphun kalenpounge lah na o teh, Ephraim mon e ram bueng pawiteh ratu koe cet nateh, Periz ram, Refadimnaw e ram dawkvah o nahane lah sak awh atipouh.
16 The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh replied, “It is true that the land in the hilly area is not big enough for us, but the Canaan people-group who live in the lowlands, in Beth-Shan and the surrounding villages in that area, and in the Jezreel Valley, have iron chariots, [so we will not be able to defeat them]!”
Joseph miphunnaw ni hai Ephraim mon teh kaimouh hanelah khout mahoeh. Tanghling e hmuen Bethshean khonaw dawk, Jezreel tanghling dawk, kaawm e Kanaan taminaw abuemlah, ni sumrangleng koung a tawn awh toe telah bout atipouh awh.
17 Joshua replied to them, “Your tribe is very numerous and very powerful. So I will allot more land for you in the hilly area,
Joshua ni nangmanaw teh, miphun kalenpounge thakaawmpounge lah na o dawkvah, buet touh dueng hah na lat awh mahoeh.
18 but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. [It is true that] the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.”
Mon hai nangmouh hanelah ao han. Ratu lah awm pawiteh na tâtueng han. Tâco nahan lamnaw hai nangmouh hanelah ao han. Kanaan taminaw teh a tha o awh teh sumrangleng ka tawn awh ni teh a tha kaawm awh nakunghai, ahnimanaw teh, na pâlei mingming han telah, Ephraim miphun, Manasseh miphun lah kaawm e Joseph phunnaw koe a dei pouh.
