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.
Ma e pok mar dhood Manase, kaka wuod Josef makayo, tiende ni, mar Makir, wuod Manase makayo. Makir ne kwar jo-Gilead, ma norwako Gilead gi Bashan nikech jo-Makir ne gin jolweny mongʼere.
2 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
Omiyo pokni nowene joka Manase mane odongʼ, kaka, anywola mar Abiezer, Helek Asriel, Shekem, Hefer, kod Shemida. Magi e nyikwa Manase ma wuod Josef mamoko machwo kaluwore gi anywolagi.
3 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Zelofehad ma wuod Hefer, ma wuod Gilead, ma wuod Makir, ma wuod Manase, ne onge yawuowi makmana nyiri kende, ma nying-gi ne gin: Mala, Nowa, Hogla, Milka gi Tirza.
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.
Negidhi ir Eliazar jadolo kod Joshua wuod Nun, to gi jotelo mi giwachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa mondo opognwa girkeni e dier owetewa.” Omiyo Joshua nomiyogi girkeni kaachiel gi owete wuonegi, kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye.
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].
Pok mar Manase ne en lope apar kapok okwan piny Gilead kod piny Bashan mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan,
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.
nikech nyi dhood Manase noyudo girkeni e kind owetegi. Piny jo-Gilead nobedo mar nyikwa Manase mamoko.
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.
Piny Manase nochakore Asher nyaka Mikmethath mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ mar Shekem. Tongʼno nochakore yo milambo mokawo nyaka joma odak En Tapua.
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.
Manase nokawo piny Tapua, to Tapua owuon, mane nitiere e tongʼ Manase, nobedo mar jo-Efraim.
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.
Eka tongʼno nodhi nyime yo milambo mochopo nyaka Kana Ravin. Ne nitiere mier matindo ma mek Efraim mane nitiere e dier mier matindo mag Manase, makmana tongʼ Manase ne nitiere yo nyandwat mar holo matut madiny kendo mogik e nam.
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.]
Yo milambo ne en piny Efraim, to yo nyandwat ne en mar Manase. Piny Manase nochopo e nam kendo mokiewo gi Asher yo nyandwat, to Isakar yo wuok chiengʼ.
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.
E Isakar kod Asher, Manase ne nitie bende kod Beth Shan, Ibleam kod jo-Dor, Endor, Tanak kod Megido, kaachiel gi jogo mane odak machiegni kodgi, ngʼat mar adek e kwan-no ne en Nafoth.
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.
Kata kamano, jo-Manase ne ok nyal kawo e mier matindogi, nikech jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag kanyo.
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.
Omiyo ka jo-Israel nodoko maroteke, negiketo jo-Kanaan obedo wasumbinigi mane ok giriembogi kata matin.
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]?”
Joka Josef nowachone Joshua niya, “Ere gima omiyo isepogonwa kendo miyowa mana kamoro achiel kaka girkeni? Wasenyaa kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhowa mogundho.”
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 nodwokogi niya, “To ka usenyaa ahinya kamano kendo piny gode mag Efraim koro tinnu, kare koro dhiuru e bungu manie piny jo-Perizi kod jo-Refai mondo ubet kanyo obed maru.”
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]!”
Joka Josef to nodwoko niya, “Piny godeno ok oromowa, kendo jo-Kanaan duto modak e pawno nigi geche mag lweny ma tiendgi otimo nyinyo, kendo mago modak Beth Shan gi mier molwore kaachiel gi holo mar Jezreel bende nigi gechego.”
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,
To Joshua nowachone od Josef, ma gin Efraim kod Manase niya, “Usenyaa kendo un joma nigi teko. Ok unubed gi pok achiel kende,
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.”
to nyaka piny moyugno manie got bende. Beteuru nyaka kuma unyalo, to obiro bedo maru; kata obedo ni jo-Kanaan nigi geche nyinyo kendo gi tegno, pod unyalo riembogi.”
