Ἰησοῦς Nαυῆ 17
1 καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασση ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ιωσηφ τῷ Μαχιρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασση πατρὶ Γαλααδ ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι
Now this lot fell to the tribe of Manasseh, since he is the firstborn of Joseph: to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, who was a fighting man, and he had as a possession Gilead and Bashan;
2 καὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασση τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιεζερ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελεζ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιεζιηλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχεμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαριμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Οφερ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν
and to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, according to their families: to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida. These are the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, by their families.
3 καὶ τῷ Σαλπααδ υἱῷ Οφερ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἀλλ’ ἢ θυγατέρες καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπααδ Μααλα καὶ Νουα καὶ Εγλα καὶ Μελχα καὶ Θερσα
Yet truly, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, whose names are these: Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
4 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ελεαζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἐναντίον Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων λέγουσαι ὁ θεὸς ἐνετείλατο διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ δοῦναι ἡμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς διὰ προστάγματος κυρίου κλῆρος ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν
And they went before the sight of Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying: “The Lord instructed by the hand of Moses that a possession ought to be given to us, in the midst of our brothers.” And so, he gave to them, in accord with the order of the Lord, a possession in the midst of the brothers of their father.
5 καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ανασσα καὶ πεδίον Λαβεκ ἐκ τῆς Γαλααδ ἥ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου
And by lot, there fell ten portions to Manasseh, aside from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan.
6 ὅτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασση ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλααδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασση τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις
And so the daughters of Manasseh possessed an inheritance in the midst of his sons. But the land of Gilead fell by lot to the sons of Manasseh that were left.
7 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασση Δηλαναθ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Αναθ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ιαμιν καὶ Ιασσιβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθωθ
And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which looks out toward Shechem. And it goes out, to the right, beside the inhabitants of the Fountain of Tappuah.
8 τῷ Μανασση ἔσται καὶ Θαφεθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασση τοῖς υἱοῖς Εφραιμ
For by lot, there also fell to Manasseh the land of Tappuah, which is beside the borders of Manasseh, and which belongs to the sons of Ephraim.
9 καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανα ἐπὶ λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ιαριηλ τερέμινθος τῷ Εφραιμ ἀνὰ μέσον πόλεως Μανασση καὶ ὅρια Μανασση ἐπὶ τὸν βορρᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα
And the border descends to the Valley of Reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is to the north of the torrent, and its exit extends to the sea.
10 ἀπὸ λιβὸς τῷ Εφραιμ καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν Μανασση καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ Ασηρ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ τῷ Ισσαχαρ ἀπ’ ἀνατολῶν
So it is that the possession of Ephraim is in the south, and that of Manasseh is in the north, and both are enclosed by the sea, and they are joined together by the tribe of Asher to the north, and by the tribe of Issachar to the east.
11 καὶ ἔσται Μανασση ἐν Ισσαχαρ καὶ ἐν Ασηρ Βαιθσαν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωρ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδω καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Ναφετα καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς
And the inheritance of Manasseh, in Issachar and in Asher, was Bethshean and its villages, and Ibleam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with their towns, likewise the inhabitants of Endor with their villages, and similarly the inhabitants of Taanach with their villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with their villages, and one third part of the city of Naphath.
12 καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασση ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ
The sons of Manasseh were not able to overthrow these cities, and so the Canaanite began to dwell in their land.
13 καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους ἐξολεθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλέθρευσαν
But after the sons of Israel had grown strong, they subdued the Canaanites, and made them their tributaries, but they did not kill them.
14 ἀντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιωσηφ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες διὰ τί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι καὶ ὁ θεὸς εὐλόγησέν με
And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, and they said, “Why have you given to me as a possession one lot and one portion, while I am of such a great multitude, and the Lord has blessed me?”
15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Εφραιμ
And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up into the forest, and cut out space for yourself in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
16 καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἀρκέσει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Εφραιμ καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσαν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ιεζραελ
And the sons of Joseph responded to him: “We are not able to ascend to the mountains, since the Canaanites, who live in the plains, in which are situated Bethshean, with its villages, and Jezreel, possessing the middle of the valley, use chariots of iron.”
17 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιωσηφ εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς
And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh: “You are a numerous people, and you have great strength. You shall not have only one lot.
18 ὁ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι ὅτι δρυμός ἐστιν καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔσται σοι καὶ ὅταν ἐξολεθρεύσῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτός ἐστιν αὐτῷ σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ
Instead, you shall cross to the mountain, and you shall cut down and clear out for yourselves space in which to live. And you shall be able to advance further, when you will have destroyed the Canaanite, who, as you say, has iron chariots and is very strong.”
