Joshua 17
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; that is, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
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 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male offspring of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
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 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, 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 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren 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 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of Jordan;
Manase chịtara ala oke iri, tinyere Gilead, na Bashan nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan,
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
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 And the land of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah.
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 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children 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 And the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the ends of it were 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 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
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 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even three countries.
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 children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Ma ụmụ Manase enweghị ike ịchụpụ ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ, nʼihi na ndị Kenan nọgidere bichie obodo ndị a.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour; but did not utterly 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 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me until now?
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 And Joshua answered them, If thou art a great people, then go up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too small for thee.
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 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and its towns, and they who are of 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 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
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 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down: and the borders of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and 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.”
