< Joshua 17 >

1 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Manase arĩ we irigithathi rĩa Jusufu, na rĩa Makiru, ũrĩa warĩ irigithathi rĩa Manase. Makiru nĩwe warĩ ithe wa andũ a Gileadi, arĩa maaheirwo Gileadi na Bashani nĩ ũndũ andũ a Makiru maarĩ njamba cia hinya.
And this was the part marked out for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the oldest son of Joseph. As for Machir, the oldest son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio igai rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ rĩa andũ acio angĩ a Manase, na nĩo mbarĩ cia Abiezeri, na cia Heleku, na cia Aisiraeli, na cia Shekemu, na cia Heferi, o na cia Shemida. Icio nĩcio ciarĩ njiaro iria ingĩ cia arũme cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu kũringana na mbarĩ ciao.
And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by 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 children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.
3 No rĩrĩ, Zelofehadi mũrũ wa Heferi, mũrũ wa Gileadi, mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase ndaarĩ na ciana cia aanake o tiga cia airĩtu, nao marĩĩtwa mao maarĩ Mahala, na Noa, na Hogila, na Milika, na Tiriza.
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Nao airĩtu acio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, o na kũrĩ atongoria makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩathire Musa atĩ o na ithuĩ tũheo igai hamwe na ariũ a ithe witũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩmahe igai mariganĩtie na ariũ a ithe wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte.
And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.
5 Igai rĩa gĩthaka kĩa Manase rĩarĩ thanju ikũmi tũtegũtara Gileadi na Bashani iria ciarĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani,
And ten parts were given to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan;
6 Na tondũ airĩtu acio a mũhĩrĩga wa Manase nĩmaheirwo igai hamwe na ariũ a mũhĩrĩga ũcio, bũrũri wa Gileadi ũgĩtuĩka wa njiaro iria ingĩ cia Manase.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had a heritage among his sons, and the land of Gilead was the property of the other sons of Manasseh.
7 Naguo bũrũri wa Manase woimĩte o kũu Asheri nginya Mikemethathu mwena wa irathĩro wa Shekemu. Mũhaka wagereire mwena wa gũthini kuuma kũu ũgakinya kwa andũ arĩa maatũũraga Eni-Tapua.
And the limit of Manasseh's land was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; the line goes on to the right hand, to the people of En-tappuah.
8 (Bũrũri wa Tapua warĩ wa Manase, no itũũra rĩa Tapu, rĩrĩa rĩarĩ mũhaka-inĩ wa Manase, rĩarĩ rĩa andũ a Efiraimu).
The land of Tappuah was the property of Manasseh; but Tappuah on the edge of Manasseh was the property of the children of Ephraim.
9 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũgĩthiĩ na mbere ũrorete mwena wa gũthini ũgĩkinya mũkuru wa karũũĩ ga Kana. Kũu kwarĩ na matũũra ma Efiraimu o hamwe na matũũra ma Manase, no mũhaka wa Manase warĩ mwena wa gathigathini wa mũkuru ũcio, na warĩkĩrĩirie o iria-inĩ.
And the limit goes down to the stream Kanah, to the south of the stream: these towns were Ephraim's among the towns of Manasseh; Manasseh's limit was on the north side of the stream, ending at the sea:
10 Mwena wa gũthini bũrũri warĩ wa Efiraimu, naguo mwena wa gathigathini warĩ wa Manase. Bũrũri wa Manase wakinyĩte iria-inĩ, na ũkahakana na bũrũri wa Asheri mwena wa gathigathini, na Isakaru mwena wa irathĩro.
To the south it is Ephraim's, and to the north it is Manasseh's, and the sea is his limit; and they are touching Asher on the north, and Issachar on the east.
11 Kũu Isakaru na Asheri, Manase no aarĩ na matũũra, namo nĩ Bethi-Shani, na Ibileamu, na andũ a Dori, na Endori, na Taanaka na Megido, hamwe na mĩciĩ ĩrĩa yamathiũrũrũkĩirie (rĩa gatatũ mũtaratara-inĩ nĩ Nafothu).
In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, and Ibleam and its daughter-towns, and the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of En-dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of Taanach and its daughter-towns, and the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, that is, the three hills.
12 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Manase matiahotire kũingata andũ arĩa maatũũraga matũũra macio, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Kaanani nĩmehotorete gũtũũra rũgongo rũu.
But the children of Manasseh were not able to make the people of those towns go out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
13 No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maagĩire hinya mũno, makĩhatĩrĩria andũ acio a Kaanani, makamarutithagia wĩra na hinya o ta ũrĩa mangĩamaathire, no matiigana kũmaingata moime kũu biũ.
And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.
14 Ningĩ andũ a Jusufu makĩũria Joshua atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtũhe o igai rĩmwe na gĩcunjĩ o ro kĩmwe kĩrĩ igai riitũ? Tũrĩ andũ aingĩ na Jehova nĩatũrathimĩte mũno.”
Then the children of Joseph said to Joshua, Why have you given me only one part and one stretch of land for my heritage? For through the blessing given to me by the Lord up to now, I am a great people.
15 Nake Joshua akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo mũingĩhĩte-rĩ, na angĩkorwo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu nĩ mũnini mũno harĩ inyuĩ-rĩ, ambatai mũthiĩ kũũrĩa mũtitũ-inĩ na mwĩthererie bũrũri inyuĩ ene kũu bũrũri-inĩ wa Aperizi na wa Arefaimu.”
Then Joshua said to them, If you are such a great people, go up into the woodlands, clearing a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if the hill-country of Ephraim is not wide enough for you.
16 Andũ a Jusufu makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa wa irima ndũngĩtũigana, nao andũ a Kaanani arĩa othe matũũraga werũ-inĩ marĩ na ngaari cia ita cia igera, o ũndũ ũmwe na arĩa marĩ Bethi-Shani na matũũra makuo, na arĩa matũũraga gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Jezireeli.”
And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites living in the valley have iron war-carriages, those in Beth-shean and its towns as well as those in the valley of Jezreel.
17 No Joshua akĩĩra nyũmba ya Jusufu, nĩo Efiraimu na Manase, atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ aingĩ mũno na mũkagĩa na hinya mũno. Mũtingĩheo o igai rĩmwe,
Then Joshua said to the children of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, You are a great people, and have great power: you are not to have one property only,
18 no nĩmũkũheo mũtitũ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma o naguo. Gũtheriei, nginya o kũrĩa guothe ũkinyĩte gũgaatuĩka kwanyu; o na akorwo andũ a Kaanani marĩ na ngaari cia ita cia igera, o na makorwo marĩ na hinya mũno-rĩ, no mũhote kũmaingata.”
For the hill-country of Gilead will be yours ... the woodland and cut down ... its outskirts will be yours ... get the Canaanites out, for they have iron war-carriages ... strong.
