Joshua 17
1 This was the assignment of land for the tribe of Manasseh (who was the firstborn of Joseph)—that is, for Makir, who was Manasseh's firstborn and who himself was the father of Gilead. Makir's descendants were assigned the land of Gilead and Bashan, because Makir had been a man of war.
Nke a bụ oke e kenyere ndị ebo Manase, bụ ọkpara Josef, ya bụ Makia ọkpara Manase, onye bụ nna nna ndị Gilead. Onye natara ala Gilead na Bashan, nʼihi na ndị agbụrụ Makia bụ dike nʼagha.
2 Land was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, given to their clans—Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, presented by their clans.
Ya mere, oke a dịịrị ndị fọdụrụ nʼebo Manase dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị. Agbụrụ Abieza, Helek, Asriel, Shekem, Hefa na Shemida. Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom agbụrụ Manase, nwa Josef, dịka ikwu ha si dị.
3 Now Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh had no sons, but only daughters. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
Ma Zelofehad, nwa Hefa, nwa Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase, amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom kama ọ mụtara naanị ụmụ ndị inyom, ndị aha ha bụ nke a: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tịaza.
4 They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and they said, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So, following the commandment of Yahweh, he gave those women an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
Ndị inyom ndị a bịakwutere Elieza, onye nchụaja na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihu ndị ndu ụmụ Izrel niile sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya kenye anyị ala nke anyị, dịka o si kenye ụmụ ndị ikom ikwu anyị.” Ya mere, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu, Joshua nyere ha ihe nketa ruuru ha nʼetiti ụmụnne nna ha, dịka ndị ọzọ si keta.
5 Ten parcels of land were assigned to Manasseh in Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,
Manase chịtara ala oke iri, tinyere Gilead, na Bashan nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan,
6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh.
nʼihi na e mere ka ndị inyom Manase keta oke nʼetiti ndị ikom ebo Manase. Ala fọdụrụ na Gilead bụ ndị ikom ebo Manase nwe ya.
7 The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Mikmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the border went southward to those living near the spring of Tappuah.
Oke ala ebo Manase gbatịrị site nʼAsha ruo na Mikmetat, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Shekem. Ọ gbatịkwara nʼakụkụ ndịda site nʼebe ahụ tinyere ndị bi nʼala En-Tapụọa.
8 (The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)
Ala dị gburugburu Tapụọa bụ ala ebo Manase, ma obodo Tapụọa nʼonwe ya, nke dị nʼoke ala ebo Manase, bụ obodo ebo Ifrem.
9 The border went down to the brook of Kanah. These cities south of the brook among the towns of Manasseh belonged to Ephraim. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea.
Oke ala ụmụ Manase gbatịrị ga ndịda ruo na mmiri iyi Kana. Ụfọdụ obodo ndị Ifrem dị nʼebe ahụ, nʼetiti obodo ndị Manase, kama oke ala ndị Manase nʼakụkụ ugwu iyi ahụ kwụsịrị nʼosimiri Mediterenịa.
10 The land to the south belonged to Ephraim, and the land to the north was Manasseh's; the sea was the border. On the north side Asher can be reached, and to the east, Issachar.
Ala dị na ndịda bụ nke e kenyere Ifrem, ma ala mgbago ugwu bụ nke Manase. Ala ndị Manase gbatịrị ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa ma ha na ndị Asha nwekọrọ oke ala nʼakụkụ ugwu, ebe ha na ndị Isaka nwere oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
11 Also in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shan and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Endor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages (and the third city is Napheth).
Manase ka e nyere obodo ndị a, nke dị nʼala e nyere Isaka na Asha: obodo Bet-Shan, na Ibleam, na Doa, na Endoa, na Teanak, na Megido, na obodo nta niile gbara ha gburugburu. Obodo nke atọ bụ Nafọt.
12 Yet the tribe of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, for the Canaanites continued to live in this land.
Ma ụmụ Manase enweghị ike ịchụpụ ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ, nʼihi na ndị Kenan nọgidere bichie obodo ndị a.
13 When the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not completely drive them out.
Ma nʼikpeazụ, mgbe ụmụ Izrel ghọrọ ndị dị ike, ha achụpụghị ndị Kenan niile bi nʼobodo ndị a kpamkpam, kama ha mere ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere ụmụ Izrel ozi, dịka ndị ohu ha.
14 Then the descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one assignment of land and one portion for an inheritance, since we are a people great in number, and all along Yahweh has blessed us?”
Ma ụmụ ụmụ Josef sịrị Joshua, “Gịnị mere i ji nye anyị naanị otu ụzọ ala ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa anyị? Ị hụrụ na Onyenwe anyị gọziri anyị mee ka ọnụọgụgụ anyị baa ụba.”
15 Joshua said to them, “If you are a people great in number, go up by yourselves to the forest and there clear the ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim. Do this, since the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you.”
Joshua zara sị ha: “Ọ bụrụ na ala ugwu ugwu Ifrem agaghị ezuru unu nʼihi na unu bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, gaanụ nʼoke ọhịa sụchasịa ala, nʼime ala ndị Periz, na nke ndị Refaim.”
16 The descendants of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. But all the Canaanites who live in the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shan and its villages, and those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.”
Ụmụ Josef zara Joshua sị, “Ala ugwu ugwu a agaghị ezuru anyị. Ọzọ, ndị Kenan niile bi nʼala dị larịị nwere ụgbọala igwe, ma ndị niile bi na Bet-Shan, na ụmụ obodo nta ha na ndị bikwa na Ndagwurugwu Jezril.”
17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a people great in number, and you have great power. You must not have only one piece of land assigned to you.
Ma Joshua zara ụmụ Josef, ya bụ, Ifrem na Manase, sị ha, “Unu dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, bụrụkwa ndị dị ike, ọ bụghị naanị otu oke ka unu ga-eketa,
18 The hill country will also be yours. Though it is a forest, you will clear it and take possession of it to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron, and even though they are strong.”
nʼihi na ala ugwu ugwu oke ọhịa ahụ bụkwa nke unu. Sụchaanụ ya, ruo na nsọtụ ya, ka ọ bụrụ nke unu. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị Kenan bi nʼime ya nwere ụgbọ agha igwe, bụrụkwa ndị sịrị ike, unu nwere ike ịchụpụ ha.”
