Yoshuwa 17
1 Wannan shi ne gādon da aka ba wa kabilar Manasse, a matsayin ɗan farin Yusuf. Manasse yana da ɗan farin mai suna Makir. Makir shi ne mahaifin mutanen Gileyad, aka ba shi Gileyad da Bashan gama Makiriyawa jarumai ne ƙwarai.
[This is a list of] the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh’s oldest son was Makir and his grandson was Gilead. Makir’s descendants were great warriors, so the lands in the Gilead and Bashan regions were allotted to their clan.
2 Aka kuma raba wa sauran mutanen kabilar Manasse rabon gādonsu bisa ga iyalansu, wato, Abiyezer, Helek, Asriyel, Shekem, Hefer da Shemida. Waɗannan su ne’ya’yan Manasse, maza, ɗan Yusuf bisa ga iyalansu.
Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
3 Zelofehad kuwa ɗan Hefer, ɗan Gileyad, ɗan Makir, ɗan Manasse ba shi da’ya’ya maza, sai dai mata. Ga sunayensu, Mala, Nowa, Hogla, Milka da Tirza.
Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Suka je wurin Eleyazar firist, da Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, da kuma shugabannin, suka ce musu, “Ubangiji ya umarci Musa cewa yă ba mu gādonmu tare da’yan’uwanmu maza.” Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya ba su gādo tare da’yan’uwan mahaifinsu maza bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji.
They went to Eleazar the Supreme Priest, and to Joshua and to the other Israeli leaders. They said, “[We want you to give us some land, because] Yahweh told Moses that he should give to us some land, just like you gave to the men.” So Eleazar did what Yahweh had commanded, and he allotted to them some land, just like he allotted to their uncles.
5 Dalilin ke nan Manasse ya sami kashi goma ban da ƙasar Gileyad da Bashan a gabashin Urdun,
So the tribe of Manasseh eventually had ten sections [of land west of the Jordan River] and [two sections, ] Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
6 domin’ya’ya mata na kabilar Manasse sun sami gādo tare da’ya’ya maza. Aka ba wa sauran mutanen kabilar Manasse ƙasar Gileyad.
So those female descendants of Manasseh also were allotted land [on the west side of the river] just like the men were allotted. The other parts of the Gilead area were allotted to the male descendants of Manasseh.
7 Iyakar ƙasar Manasse ta tashi daga Asher zuwa Mikmetat a gabashin Shekem. Iyakar kuma ta miƙe har zuwa kudu wadda ta ƙunshi mutanen da suke zaune a En Taffuwa.
The land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was between the land where the tribe of Asher lives and Michmethath [town], near Shechem [city]. The border extended south to the Tappuah Spring.
8 (Manasse ne yake da ƙasar Taffuwa, amma garin Taffuwa kansa, a kan iyakar Manasse ta mutanen Efraim ce.)
The land near the Tappuah area belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was at the border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
9 Sa’an nan iyakar ta ci gaba ta yi kudu zuwa Rafin Kana. Akwai garuruwan da suke kudancin rafin, waɗanda suke Efraim, ko da yake suna cikin yankin Manasse. Iyakar Manasse ta miƙe zuwa arewa ta bi gefen rafin ta kuma ƙarasa a Bahar Rum.
The border [of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh] extended south to Kanah Gorge. From there it extended [west] along the north side of the gorge and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
10 Ƙasar a wajen kudu ta Efraim ce, ta wajen arewa kuma ta Manasse ce. Bahar Rum ita ce iyakarsu. Asher yana wajen arewa, Issakar kuma a wajen gabas.
The land on the south side of the gorge belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and the land on the north side belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. The western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was the [Mediterranean] Sea. To the north, the border of their land extended from the land allotted to the tribe of Asher [at the northwest] to the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar [at the northeast.]
11 A yanki tsakanin Issakar da Asher, Manasse yana da waɗannan wurare, Bet-Sheyan, Ibileyam da ƙauyukanta, da mazaunan Dor da ƙauyukanta, da mazaunan En Dor da ƙauyukanta, da mazaunan Ta’anak da ƙauyukanta, da mazaunan Megiddo da ƙauyukanta (Na uku cikin jerin shi ne Nafot).
But there are cities inside the area allotted to the tribes of Issachar and Asher. Those cities, along with their surrounding villages, were allotted to people from the tribe of Manasseh. These cities are Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Dor (which is also named Naphoth-Dor, ) Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
12 Duk da haka mutanen Manasse ba su iya mallakar garuruwan nan ba, domin Kan’aniyawa sun nace da zama a wannan yanki.
The men of the tribe of Manasseh were not able to force the people who lived in those cities to leave, so the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live in those cities.
13 Da Isra’ilawa suka yi ƙarfi, sai suka sa Kan’aniyawa suka zama masu yin musu aiki, amma ba su iya korarsu duka ba.
But [years later] when the Israelis became better [warriors], they forced the Canaan people-group to work for them as slaves, although they did not force them to leave the land.
14 Mutanen Yusuf kuwa suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Me ya sa ka ba mu rabon gādo ɗaya kawai? Ga shi muna da yawa kuma Ubangiji ya albarkace mu sosai.”
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh said to Joshua, “You allotted to us only one area of land, but there are a lot of us. Yahweh has blessed us very much [with the result that our tribe has grown very large]. So why did you give us only a small part of the land [RHQ]?”
15 Yoshuwa ya ce musu, “In kuna da yawa sosai, in kuma ƙasar kan tudu ta Efraim ba ta ishe ku ba, sai ku je cikin jeji, ku nema wa kanku ƙasa a ƙasar Ferizziyawa da Refahiyawa.”
Joshua replied to them, “[I agree that] you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to [cut down the trees] in the forest [and] make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.”
16 Mutanen Yusuf suka amsa suka ce, “Ƙasar kan tudu ba ta ishe mu ba, ga kuma Kan’aniyawan da suke zama a filin, da waɗanda suke Bet-Sheyan da ƙauyukanta, da waɗanda suke Kwarin Yezireyel, duk suna da keken yaƙin ƙarfe.”
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh replied, “It is true that the land in the hilly area is not big enough for us, but the Canaan people-group who live in the lowlands, in Beth-Shan and the surrounding villages in that area, and in the Jezreel Valley, have iron chariots, [so we will not be able to defeat them]!”
17 Amma Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen Yusuf, wa Efraim da Manasse, “Kuna da yawa, kuna kuma da ƙarfi sosai. Ba wuri ɗaya kaɗai za ku samu gādo ba,
Joshua replied to them, “Your tribe is very numerous and very powerful. So I will allot more land for you in the hilly area,
18 amma har da ƙasar kan tudu ma, ko da yake jeji ne, ku je ku gyara shi, duk yă zama naku. Ko da yake Kan’aniyawa suna da kekunan yaƙi na ƙarfe, suna kuma da ƙarfi, duk da haka za ku kore su.”
but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. [It is true that] the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.”
