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.
Ždrijebom je dopao i dio plemenu Manašeovu, jer je Manaše bio prvenac Josipov. Makiru, prvencu Manašeovu, ocu Gileadovu - bijaše on ratnik bez premca - pripade Gilead i Bašan.
2 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
Dobili su svoj dio i ostali sinovi Manašeovi po svojim porodicama: sinovi Abiezerovi, sinovi Helekovi, sinovi Asrielovi; sinovi Šekemovi, sinovi Heferovi i sinovi Šemidini. To su muški potomci Manašea, sina Josipova, po svojim porodicama.
3 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
A Selofhad, sin Hefera, sina Gileada, sina Makira, sina Manašeova, nije imao sinova nego samo kćeri. Evo im imena: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.
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.
One dođoše pred svećenika Eleazara i pred Jošuu, sina Nunova, i pred glavare govoreći: “Jahve je zapovjedio Mojsiju da se i nama dade baština među našom braćom.” I dadoše im po Jahvinoj zapovijedi baštinu među braćom njihova oca.
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].
Tako je dopalo Manašeu deset dijelova, povrh gileadske i bašanske zemlje, koje su s onu stranu Jordana.
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.
Kćeri Manašeove dobiše baštinu među njegovim sinovima, a zemlja gileadska pripala je drugim sinovima Manašeovim.
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.
Međa je Manašeova išla od Ašera do Mikmetata, koji leži nasuprot Šekemu, a zatim zavijala desno prema Jašibu na izvoru Tapuahu.
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.
Pokrajina Tapuah pripadaše Manašeu, ali sam Tapuah na međi Manašeovoj pripadaše sinovima Efrajimovim.
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.
Međa je silazila do potoka Kane. Južno od potoka bili su i ovi gradovi što su Efrajimovim sinovima pripadali između Manašeovih gradova; a zemlja se Manašeova nalazila na sjeveru i izbijala na more.
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.]
Područje s juga pripadalo je Efrajimu, na sjeveru Manašeu, a more im bi međa; na sjeveru su graničili s Ašerom, a s Jisakarom na istoku.
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.
Manašeu pripadahu u Jisakaru i Ašeru: Bet-Šean sa svojim selima, Jibleam sa svojim selima, stanovnici Dora sa svojim selima, stanovnici En-Dora sa svojim selima, stanovnici Taanaka sa svojim selima, stanovnici Megida sa svojim selima; dakle: tri područja.
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.
Ali Manašeovi sinovi nisu mogli osvojiti te gradove i zato su Kanaanci ostali u tom kraju.
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.
Ali kad su ojačali sinovi Izraelovi, nametnuše Kanaancima tlaku, ali ih nisu uspjeli protjerati.
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]?”
Obrate se tada Josipovi sinovi Jošui i upitaju: “Zašto si nam dao u baštinu prema jednom ždrijebu, samo jedan dio, kad smo mnogobrojni i Jahve nas dosad blagoslivljao?”
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.”
Jošua im odgovori: “Kad ste narod mnogobrojan, pođite u šumu i krčite ondje sebi zemlje u periškoj i refaimskoj krajini, ako vam je pretijesna gora Efrajimova.”
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]!”
A sinovi Josipovi rekoše: “Gora nam ova neće biti dosta, a svi Kanaanci koji žive u ravnici imaju željezna kola, oni što su u Bet-Šeanu i selima njegovim i oni koji su u dolini jizreelskoj.”
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,
Tada odgovori Jošua domu Josipovu, i Efrajimu i Manašeu: “Vi ste brojan narod i imate silnu snagu. Zato nećeš dobiti samo jedan ždrijeb:
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.”
neka gora bude tvoja. Ako je šumovita, iskrči je pa će obronci biti posjed doma tvoga. Istjerat ćeš sigurno Kanaance ako i imaju željezna kola, ako i jesu jaki.”
