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.
यो मनश्शेको (जो योसेफका जेठा छोरा थिए) कुलको भूमिको भाग थियो, माकीरका निम्ति, जो जेठा छोरा थिए र तिनी गिलादका पिता थिए । माकीरका सन्तानहरूलाई गिलाद र बाशानको भू-भाग दिइयो, किनभने माकीर योद्धा थिए ।
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.
यो भू-भागलाई मनश्शेका बाँकी कुल अबीएजेर, हेलेक, अस्रीएल, शकेम, हेपेर, शमीदालाई तिनीहरूका कुलअनुसार दिइयो ।
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.
मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरका छोरा गिलादला छोरा हेपेरका छोरा सलोफादको कुनै छोरा थिएन, तर छोरीहरू मात्र थिए । तिनकी छोरीहरूका नाउँ महला, नोआह, होग्ला, मिल्का र तिर्सा थिए ।
4 They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
तिनीहरू पुजारी एलाजार, यहोशू र अगुवाहरूकहाँ आए र भने, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार दिनू भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो ।” त्यसैले, परमप्रभुको आज्ञाअनुसार, तिनले ती महिलाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका बुबाका दाजुभाइहरूमाझ उत्तराधिकार दिए ।
5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
गिलाद र बाशानमा मनश्शेलाई दस भाग जमिन दिइयो, जुन यर्दन पारिपट्टि छ,
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.
किनभने मनश्शेका छोरीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार पाए । गिलादको भू-भाग मनश्शेका बाँकी कुललाई दिइयो ।
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.
मनश्शेको क्षेत्र आसेरबाट मिक्मतातसम्म पुग्यो, जुन शकेमको पूर्वमा छ । त्यसको सिमाना तप्पूहको पानीको मुहान नजिक बसोबास गर्नेहरूकहाँसम्म दक्षिणतिर निस्क्यो ।
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
(तप्पूहको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो, तर मनश्शेको सिमानामा पर्ने तप्पूहको नगर एफ्राइम कुलको थियो ।)
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.
त्यो सिमाना कनाको खोलासम्मै तल गएर निस्क्यो । मनश्शेका नगरहरू माझका खोलाको दक्षिणतिरका यी सहरहरू एफ्राइमका थिए । मनश्शेको सिमाना खोलाको उत्तरतिर थियो र यो समुद्रमा टुङ्गिएको थियो ।
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.
दक्षिणतिरको भू-भाग एफ्राइमको थियो, र उत्तरतिरको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो; यसको सिमाना समुद्र थियो । उत्तरतिर आशेरसम्म र पूर्वतिर इस्साखारसम्म पुगेको थियो ।
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.
इस्साखार र आशेरमा पनि मनश्शेले बेथ-शान र यसका गाउँहरू, योबलाम र यसका गाउँहरू, डोरका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू, एन्दोर र यसका गाउँहरू, तानाका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू, मगिद्दोका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू (र तेस्रो सहरचाहिँ नपेत हो) ।
12 Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
तैपनि मनश्शेको कुलले ती सहरहरू अधिकार गर्न सकेनन्, किनभने यस भू-भागमा कनानीहरू निरन्तर बस्दै रहे ।
13 When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू वृद्धि भए, तिनीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई बेगारी काममा लगाए, तर तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा धपाएनन् ।
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 Yahweh has blessed us so far?”
त्यसपछि योसेफका सन्तानहरूले यहोशूलाई यसो भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई किन जमिन एक भाग र उत्तराधिकारको निम्ति एक अंश मात्र दिनुभएको, किनभने हामी धेरै सङ्ख्यामा भएका मानिसहरू हौँ र परमप्रभुले हामीलाई पर्याप्त आशिष् दिनुभएको छ?”
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.”
यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यदि तिमीहरू धेरै सङ्ख्यामा छौ भने, तिमीहरू जङ्गलतिर जाओ र परिज्जीहरू र रपाईहरूको भू-भागमा आफ्नो निम्ति फँडानी गर । यसो गर, किनभने एफ्राइमको पहाडी देश तिमीहरूको निम्ति साह्रै सानो छ ।”
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.”
योसेफका सन्तानहरूले भने, “पहाडी देश हामीलाई पर्याप्त हुँदैन । तर बेथ-शान र यसका गाउँहरू अनि यिजरेलको बेँसी दुवैमा बस्ने कनानीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू छन् ।
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;
त्यपछि यहोशूले योसेफका घराना एफ्राइम र मनश्शेलाई भने, “तिमीहरू धेरै सङ्ख्यामा भएका मानिसहरू हौ र तिमीहरूसँग धेरै शक्ति छ । तिमीहरूसँग एक भाग मात्र हुनुहुँदैन ।
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.”
पहाडी देश पनि तिमीहरूको नै हुने छ । तथापि यो जङ्गल हो, तिमीहरूले यसलाई फँडानी गर र यसलाई र यसका टाढा-टाढाको सिमानासम्म अधीन गर । तिमीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई धपाउने छौ, तथापि तिनीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू छन् र तिनीहरू बलिया छन् ।”
