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.
Bagian undian yang ditentukan bagi suku Manasye, sebab dialah anak sulung Yusuf, ialah demikian: Kepada Makhir, anak sulung Manasye, bapa Gilead, telah diberikan Gilead dan Basan, karena ia seorang tentara.
2 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
Jadi bagian itulah yang ditentukan bagi anak-anak Manasye yang lain, menurut kaum-kaum mereka, yakni bagi bani Abiezer, bani Helek, bani Asriel, bani Sekhem, bani Hefer dan bani Semida; itulah keturunan yang laki-laki dari Manasye bin Yusuf, menurut kaum-kaum mereka.
3 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Tetapi Zelafehad bin Hefer bin Gilead bin Makhir bin Manasye tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, tetapi hanya anak perempuan. Inilah nama anak-anaknya itu: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka dan 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 datang menghadap imam Eleazar, dan menghadap Yosua bin Nun, serta para pemimpin, dan berkata: "TUHAN telah memerintahkan kepada Musa untuk memberikan milik pusaka kepada kami di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara kami." Sebab itu diberikannya kepada mereka, milik pusaka di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara ayah mereka, sesuai dengan titah TUHAN.
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].
Demikianlah kepada suku Manasye jatuh sepuluh bidang tanah, selain dari tanah Gilead dan Basan yang di seberang Yordan,
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.
sebab anak-anak perempuan Manasye telah menerima milik pusaka di tengah-tengah anak-anaknya lelaki, sedang tanah Gilead ditentukan bagi anak-anak lelaki Manasye yang lain.
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.
Jadi batas daerah Manasye ialah dari Asyer ke Mikhmetat yang di sebelah timur Sikhem; kemudian batas itu terus ke selatan ke daerah penduduk 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.
Tanah Tapuah adalah kepunyaan suku Manasye, tetapi kota Tapuah, dekat batas daerah Manasye, adalah kepunyaan bani 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.
Kemudian batas itu turun ke sungai Kana, ke sebelah selatan sungai itu. Kota-kota di sana adalah kepunyaan suku Efraim, sekalipun di tengah-tengah kota-kota suku Manasye. Selanjutnya batas daerah Manasye itu lewat dari sebelah utara sungai itu dan berakhir ke laut.
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.]
Ke selatan daerah itu kepunyaan suku Efraim dan ke utara kepunyaan suku Manasye. Batasnya ialah laut; di sebelah utara batas daerah itu menyinggung daerah Asyer, di sebelah timur menyinggung daerah 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.
Tetapi di daerah Isakhar dan Asyer ada juga kepunyaan suku Manasye, yakni Bet-Sean dengan segala anak kotanya, Yibleam dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk En-Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Taanakh dengan segala anak kotanya, dan penduduk Megido dengan segala anak kotanya, yakni ketiga daerah bukit itu.
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 bani Manasye tidak dapat menduduki kota-kota itu, sebab orang Kanaan berhasil untuk tetap diam di negeri itu.
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.
Setelah orang Israel menjadi kuat, orang Kanaan itu dibuatnya menjadi orang rodi, tetapi tidaklah sama sekali mereka itu dihalaunya.
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]?”
Berkatalah bani Yusuf kepada Yosua, demikian: "Mengapa engkau memberikan kepadaku hanya satu bagian undian dan satu bidang tanah saja menjadi milik pusaka, padahal aku ini bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya, karena TUHAN sampai sekarang memberkati aku?"
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.”
Jawab Yosua kepada mereka: "Kalau engkau bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya, pergilah ke hutan dan bukalah tanah bagimu di sana di negeri orang Feris dan orang Refaim, jika pegunungan Efraim terlalu sesak bagimu."
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]!”
Kemudian berkatalah bani Yusuf: "Pegunungan itu tidak cukup bagi kami, dan semua orang Kanaan yang diam di dataran itu mempunyai kereta besi, baik yang diam di Bet-Sean dengan segala anak kotanya maupun yang diam 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,
Lalu berkatalah Yosua kepada keturunan Yusuf, kepada suku Efraim dan suku Manasye: "Engkau ini bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya dan mempunyai kekuatan yang besar; tidak hanya satu bagian undian ditentukan bagimu,
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.”
tetapi pegunungan itu akan ditentukan bagimu juga, dan karena tanah itu hutan, haruslah kamu membukanya; kamu akan memilikinya sampai kepada ujung-ujungnya, sebab kamu akan menghalau orang Kanaan itu, sekalipun mereka mempunyai kereta besi dan sekalipun mereka kuat."
