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 the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
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 there was [land] assigned to the other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi, and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these [are] the males according to 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.
And Salpaad the sons of Opher had no sons but daughters: and these [are] the names of the daughters of Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
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 stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance amongst the brethren of their father.
5 Igai rĩa gĩthaka kĩa Manase rĩarĩ thanju ikũmi tũtegũtara Gileadi na Bashani iria ciarĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani,
And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond 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.
For the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
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 borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders [even] to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
8 (Bũrũri wa Tapua warĩ wa Manase, no itũũra rĩa Tapu, rĩrĩa rĩarĩ mũhaka-inĩ wa Manase, rĩarĩ rĩa andũ a Efiraimu).
It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons 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 borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ([there is] a turpentine tree [belonging] to Ephraim between [that and] the city of Manasse: ) and the borders of Manasse [are] northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.
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.
Southward [the land belongs] to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
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).
And Manasses shall have in [the portion of] Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
12 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Manase matiahotire kũingata andũ arĩa maatũũraga matũũra macio, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Kaanani nĩmehotorete gũtũũra rũgongo rũu.
And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell 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 it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.
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.”
And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Therefore have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
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.”
And Joshua said to them, If you be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for yourself, If mount Ephraim be too little 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 they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan, and in its villages, [and] in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.
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,
And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have [only] one inheritance.
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 you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and [the land] shall be your; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.
