< Joshua 17 >

1 Forsothe lot felde in to the lynage of Manasse, for he is the firste gendrid sone of Joseph; lot felde to Machir, the firste gendrid sone of Manasses, to the fadir of Galaad, that was a werriour, and he hadde possessioun Galaad and Basan.
默納協是若瑟的長子,他的支派抽籤分得了一份土地。默納協的長子,基肋阿得的父親瑪基爾,因為是個戰士,分得了基肋阿得和巴商。
2 And lot felde to the othere of the sones of Manasses, bi her meynees; to the sones of Abiezer, and to the sones of Heleth, and to the sones of Hesriel, and to the sones of Sichen, and to the sones of Epher, and to the sones of Semyda; these ben the sones of Manasse, sone of Joseph, the male children, bi her meynees.
默納協的其餘子孫,赫肋克的子孫,阿斯黎耳的子孫,舍根的子孫,赫斐爾的子孫,舍米達的子孫:這些人按照家族,都是若瑟之子默納協後代的男丁。
3 Sotheli to Salphaat, the sone of Epher, sone of Galaad, sone of Machir, sone of Manasses, weren not sones, but douytris aloone; of whiche these ben the names, Maala, and Noa, and Eegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
但是默納協的玄孫,瑪基爾的曾孫,基肋阿得的鯀子,赫斐爾的兒子,責羅斐哈得沒有兒子,只有女兒,他的女兒名叫瑪赫拉、米耳加和提爾匝。
4 And thei camen in the siyt of Eleazar, preest, and of Josue, sone of Nun, and of the princes, and seiden, The Lord comaundide bi the hond of Moises, that possessioun should be youun to vs in the myddis of oure britheren. And Josue yaf to hem possessioun, bi comaundement of the Lord, in the myddis of the britheren of her fadir.
她們來到司祭厄肋阿責爾和農的兒子若蘇厄、並首領們面前說:「上主曾吩咐過梅瑟,在我們弟兄們中,也分給我們一份產業。」若蘇厄遂照上主所吩咐的,使她們在伯叔中間,也分得了一份產業。
5 And ten cordis, `that is, londis mesurid bi ten cordis, felden to Manasses, without the lond of Galaad and of Basan biyende Jordan;
這樣,除約旦河東的基肋阿得和巴商二地外,尚有十分歸屬於默納協,
6 for the douytris of Manasses weldiden eritage in the myddis of the sones of hym. Sotheli the lond of Galaad felde in to the part of the sones of Manasses, that weren residue.
因為默納協的孫女,在默納協的孫子中也獲得產業;不過基肋阿得屬於默納協其餘的子孫。
7 And the terme of Manasses was fro Azer Machynathath, that biholdeth Sichem, and goith out to the riyt side, bisidis the dwelleris of the welle Taphue;
默納協的地界,是從阿協爾起,到舍根對面的米革默塔特,再折向南,直達雅史布和恩塔普亞。
8 for the lond of Thaphue, which is bisidis the terme of Manasses, and of the sones of Effraym, felde in the lot of Manasses.
普亞地歸默納協,但默納協邊界上的特普亞城,卻屬厄弗辣因子孫。
9 And the terme of the valey of place of rehedis goith doun in the south of the stronde of the citees of Effraym, that ben in the myddis of the citees of Manasses. The terme of Manasses is fro the north of the stronde, and the goyng out therof goith to the see;
邊界由此向下伸至卡納谷;谷南的成市屬厄弗辣因,是厄弗辣因在默納協城市所有的城市。默納協的境界是由谷北,直到大海。
10 so that the possessioun of Effraym is fro the south, and the possessioun of Manasses fro the north, and the see closith euer either; and tho ben ioyned to hem silf in the linage of Aser fro the north, and in the lynage of Isachar fro the eest.
南面屬厄弗辣因,北面屬默納協,以海為界;北接阿協爾,東部鄰依撒加爾。
11 And the eritage of Manasses was in Isachar and in Aser, Bersan, and the townes therof, and Jeblaan, with hise townes, and the dwellers of Dor, with her citees; and the dwelleris of Endor, with her townes, and also the dwelleris of Thanath, with her townes, and the dwelleris of Maiedo, with her townes, and the thridde part of the citee Nophet.
默納協在依撒加爾和阿協爾境內,有貝特商和所屬村鎮;依貝肋罕和所屬村鎮,多爾居民和所屬村鎮,還有恩多爾居民和所屬村鎮,塔納客居民和所屬村鎮,默基多居民和所屬村鎮,共三區。
12 And the sones of Manasses miyten not distrie these citees, but Cananei bigan to dwelle in this lond.
但是默納協子孫未能將這些城中的土人趕走,客納罕人仍然居住在這地區內。
13 Sotheli aftir that the sones of Israel weren stronge, thei maden suget Cananeis, and maden tributaries to hem silf, and killiden not Cananeis.
當以色列子民強冊盛以後,迫使客納罕人做苦工,卻沒有將他們完全趕走。
14 And the sones of Joseph spaken to Josue, and seiden, Whi hast thou youe to me lond in to possessioun of o lot and part, sithen Y am of so greet multitude, and the Lord hath blesside me, `that is, hath alargid me in children?
若瑟的子孫對若蘇厄說:「上主這樣祝福我們,我們又是人數最多的一族,你為什麼只叫我們抽一籤,分一份土地作產業呢﹖
15 To whiche Josue seide, If thou art myche puple, stie thou into the wode, and kitte doun to thee spaces in the lond of Feresei, and of Raphaym, for the possessioun of the hil of Effraym is streiyt to thee.
若蘇厄對他們說:「如果你們人數眾多,厄弗辣因為你們太癥狹小,可甘培黎齊人和勒法因人的地方去,砍伐森林中的樹木。」
16 To whom the sones of Joseph answerden, We moun not stie to the hilli places, sithen Cananeis, that dwellen in the `lond of the feeld, vsen ironne charis; in which lond Bersan, with hise townes, and Jesrael, weldynge the myddil valey, ben set.
若瑟的子孫回答說:「這山區為我們仍不夠,何況住在盆地,即住在貝特商和所屬村鎮,以及住在依次勒耳盆地的一切客納罕人,都擁有鐵車。」
17 And Josue seide to the hows of Joseph, and of Effraym, and of Manasses, Thou art myche puple, and of greet strengthe; thou schalt not haue o lot,
若蘇厄對若瑟家,即對厄弗辣因和默納協人說:「你們人數眾多,勢力強大,不能只抽一籤,
18 but thou schalt passe to the hil, and thou schalt kitte doun to thee; and thou schalt clense spaces to dwelle. And thou schalt mow go forth ferthere, whanne thou hast distried Cananei, whom thou seist to haue irone charis, and to be moost strong.
因此,山地也應歸於你們;那裏雖是森林,盡可砍伐,開闢的土地自然歸於你們。客納罕人雖然擁有鐵車,勢力強大,但你們必能將他們趕走。」
