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.

Sebagian daerah di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan diberikan kepada sebagian keluarga-keluarga keturunan Manasye, anak sulung Yusuf. Makhir, ayah Gilead, adalah anak sulung Manasye. Karena ia seorang pejuang, maka daerah Gilead dan Basan yang terletak di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan diberikan kepadanya.

2 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.

Daerah sebelah barat Sungai Yordan diberikan kepada keluarga-keluarga lainnya dari keturunan Manasye, yaitu keluarga: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Sekhem, Hefer dan Semida; semuanya itu keturunan laki-laki dari Manasye anak Yusuf. Mereka adalah kepala-kepala keluarga.

3 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Zelafehad, anak Hefer, cucu Gilead (Gilead adalah anak Makhir, cucu Manasye), tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, hanya anak perempuan, yaitu: Makhla, Noa, Hogla, Milka, 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.

Mereka pergi kepada Imam Eleazar, Yosua anak Nun serta para pemimpin, dan berkata, "TUHAN mengatakan kepada Musa bahwa kami juga harus sama-sama mendapat tanah seperti saudara-saudara kami yang laki-laki." Karena itu, sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN, anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad itu diberikan tanah bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudara mereka yang laki-laki.

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].

Jadi, bukan hanya keturunan laki-laki dari Manasye yang mendapat bagian tanah, tetapi juga keturunannya yang perempuan. Itu sebabnya mengapa suku Manasye diberi sepuluh bagian, selain tanah Gilead dan Basan di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan. Tanah Gilead diberikan kepada keturunan Manasye yang lain.

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.

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.

Garis-garis batas wilayah suku Manasye mulai dari Asyer ke Mikhmetat di sebelah timur Sikhem. Dari situ garis itu turun ke selatan sampai ke daerah kaum En-Tapuah.

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.

Daerah Tapuah adalah kepunyaan suku Manasye, tetapi kota Tapuah, di perbatasan, adalah milik keturunan 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.

Selanjutnya garis batas wilayah Manasye itu turun sampai ke anak Sungai Kana. Kota-kota di sebelah selatan anak sungai itu adalah kepunyaan Efraim, meskipun berada di dalam wilayah Manasye. Garis batas wilayah Manasye itu selanjutnya mengikuti jalan ke sebelah utara anak sungai itu, lalu berakhir di Laut Tengah.

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.]

Demikianlah Efraim berada di sebelah selatan, dan Manasye di sebelah utara, dan Laut Tengah adalah perbatasan mereka sebelah barat. Di barat laut, wilayah suku Manasye itu berbatasan dengan wilayah Asyer, dan di sebelah timur laut, berbatasan dengan wilayah Isakhar.

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.

Di dalam wilayah Isakhar dan Asyer itu ada tanah-tanah milik Manasye, yaitu: Bet-Sean dan Yibleam dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya. Juga: Dor (kota yang terletak di pinggir laut), En-Dor, Taanakh, Megido dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya.

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.

Tetapi suku Manasye tidak dapat mengusir penduduk kota-kota itu; itu sebabnya orang Kanaan masih tetap tinggal di situ.

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.

Bahkan di kemudian hari setelah orang Israel menjadi lebih kuat, mereka tidak mengusir semua orang Kanaan; mereka hanya memaksa orang-orang itu bekerja untuk mereka.

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]?”

Keturunan Yusuf berkata kepada Yosua, "Mengapa kami diberi hanya satu bagian tanah saja, padahal kami banyak sekali, karena TUHAN sudah memberkati kami?"

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.”

Yosua menjawab, "Karena kalian terlalu banyak, dan daerah pegunungan Efraim terlalu sempit untuk kalian, pergilah ke daerah orang Feris dan Refaim. Bukalah tempat-tempat baru di hutan-hutan mereka itu."

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]!”

Keturunan Yusuf itu menjawab, "Daerah pegunungan itu tidak cukup luas untuk kami, sedangkan bangsa Kanaan yang tinggal di dataran-dataran rendah mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi--baik mereka yang tinggal di Bet-Sean dan desa-desa sekitarnya, maupun mereka yang tinggal di Lembah Yizreel."

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,

Maka kata Yosua kepada suku Efraim dan Manasye barat itu, "Benar, kalian banyak sekali serta kuat, dan patut diberi lebih dari satu bagian tanah.

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.”

Ambillah daerah pegunungan, sebab meskipun daerah itu masih hutan, kalian dapat membuka daerah itu dan memiliki seluruhnya. Dan mengenai orang-orang Kanaan itu, kalian dapat mengusir mereka, sekalipun mereka kuat dan mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi."
