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 lot fell to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the firstborn of Joseph) to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and 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 to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.
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 Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla 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 came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession 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 there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the 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 Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses.
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 border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua.
8 (Bũrũri wa Tapua warĩ wa Manase, no itũũra rĩa Tapu, rĩrĩa rĩarĩ mũhaka-inĩ wa Manase, rĩarĩ rĩa andũ a Efiraimu).
For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to 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 border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are 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.
So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of 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).
And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.
12 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Manase matiahotire kũingata andũ arĩa maatũũraga matũũra macio, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Kaanani nĩmehotorete gũtũũra rũgongo rũu.
Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his 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.
But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill 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 children of Joseph spoke to Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath 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 Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
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 answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of 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 Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot 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.”
But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.
