Joshua 17
1 This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Joseph e a camin Manasseh ni cungpam a rayu awh teh, râw lah a coe awh e talai hateh, Manasseh e ca, Gilead e a na pa Makhir teh ransa lah ao dawk Gilead ram hoi Bashan ram a poe.
2 So this was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, for the children of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the children of Shechem, for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida. These were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
Joseph e ca lah kaawm Manasseh capanaw teh Abiezer capa, Halek capa, Asriel capa, Shekhem capa, Hepher capa, Shemida capa, naw ni imthung lahoi cungpam bout a rayu awh.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Hateiteh, Manasseh, Makhir, Gilead, Hepher naw dawk hoi ka tho e Zelophehad teh ca tongpa awm hoeh. Canu dueng doeh kaawm. Ahnie canunaw teh Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, Tirzah doeh.
4 They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, saying, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
Hote napuinaw teh, vaihma bawi Eleazar, Nun e capa Joshua, kahrawinaw e hmalah a tho teh, kaimouh hoi rei tâcawt e hoi cungtalah râw coe hane kâ hah kaimouh hoi na poe van hanelah, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a dei pouh toe atipouh teh, BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e patetlah a na pa e hmaunawnghanaw hoi râw rei a coe awh hane kâ a poe.
5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
Telah Manasseh e canunaw teh a capanaw hoi râw rei a coe awh teh,
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
Manasseh e capa tangawn ni Gilead ram hah a coe dawkvah, Jordan palang kanîtholah, Gilead ram hoi Bashan ram hoi a louk Manasseh catounnaw ni 10 touh a coe awh rah.
7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
Manasseh ram khori teh, Asher ram hoi Shekhem kho kanîtholah kaawm e Mikhmethat kho lah ka cet e aranglah, Entappuah kho lah a cei.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
Tappuah khori teh Manasseh a tawn e lah ao ei, Manasseh e khori teng kaawm e Tappuah kho teh Ephraim ni tawn e lah ao.
9 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and ended at the sea.
Hahoi khori teh, Kanah palang akalah a cei teh Manasseh kho dawkvah Ephraim kho tangawn ao eiteh, palang hoi atunglae talai teh Manasseh e talai lah ao teh, tuipui dawk a pout.
10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
Akalah Ephraim e talai, atunglah Manasseh e talai lah ao. Tuipui dawk a kâri teh, atunglah Asher ram, kanîtholah Issakhar ram ao.
11 Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, in Asher Beth Shean 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.
Hote ram dawkvah Manassehnaw ni a coe e ram kathum touh e teh, Bethshem kho hoi khotenaw, Ibleam kho hoi khotenaw, Dor kho hoi khotenaw dor kho hoi khotenaw, Endor kho hoi khotenaw, Taanakh kho hoi khotenaw, Megiddo kho hoi khotenaw, hah a coe sin awh rah.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Hateiteh, Manasseh miphunnaw ni hote khonaw hah a pâlei thai hoeh dawkvah, Kanaannaw teh a tâ totouh hote hmuen koe ao awh.
13 When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
Isarelnaw teh a tha hoe a sai awh torei teh, Kanaannaw hah koung pâlei laipalah aphawng a rawng sak awh.
14 The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because the LORD has blessed us so far?”
Joseph miphunnaw ni hai kaimanaw teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e yawhawi ka hmu teh miphun kalen poung lah ka o teh, nang ni ram buet touh dueng hah na poe telah Joshua hah pacei.
15 Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
Joshua ni nangmanaw teh, miphun kalenpounge lah na o teh, Ephraim mon e ram bueng pawiteh ratu koe cet nateh, Periz ram, Refadimnaw e ram dawkvah o nahane lah sak awh atipouh.
16 The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”
Joseph miphunnaw ni hai Ephraim mon teh kaimouh hanelah khout mahoeh. Tanghling e hmuen Bethshean khonaw dawk, Jezreel tanghling dawk, kaawm e Kanaan taminaw abuemlah, ni sumrangleng koung a tawn awh toe telah bout atipouh awh.
17 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;
Joshua ni nangmanaw teh, miphun kalenpounge thakaawmpounge lah na o dawkvah, buet touh dueng hah na lat awh mahoeh.
18 but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
Mon hai nangmouh hanelah ao han. Ratu lah awm pawiteh na tâtueng han. Tâco nahan lamnaw hai nangmouh hanelah ao han. Kanaan taminaw teh a tha o awh teh sumrangleng ka tawn awh ni teh a tha kaawm awh nakunghai, ahnimanaw teh, na pâlei mingming han telah, Ephraim miphun, Manasseh miphun lah kaawm e Joseph phunnaw koe a dei pouh.
