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.
Lesi kwakuyisabelo sesizwana sikaManase njengezibulo likaJosefa. UMakhiri izibulo likaManase, ukhokho wamaGiliyadi, wathatha iGiliyadi leBhashani ngenxa yokuthi amaMakhire ayengamaqhawe amakhulu.
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.
Ngakho isabelo lesi sasingesabantu bonke bakoManase, insendo zika-Abhiyezeri, uHelekhi, u-Asiriyeli, uShekhemu, uHeferi loShemida. Lezi ngezinye izizukulwane zesilisa zikaManase indodana kaJosefa ngokwensendo zazo.
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.
UZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi, indodana kaGiliyadi, indodana kaMakhiri indodana kaManase, wayengelamadodana kodwa wayelamadodakazi wodwa, amabizo awo kwakunguMahila, uNowa, uHogila, uMilikha loThiza.
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.
Aya ku-Eliyazari umphristi, loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye labakhokheli athi, “UThixo walaya uMosi ukuthi asabele ilifa kanye labanewethu.” Ngakho uJoshuwa wabanika ilifa ndawonye labanewabo bakayise, kulandelwa umlayo kaThixo.
5 Dalilin ke nan Manasse ya sami kashi goma ban da ƙasar Gileyad da Bashan a gabashin Urdun,
Isabelo sikaManase sasigoqela iziqinti ezilitshumi zomhlabathi emhlubulweni weGiliyadi leBhashani empumalanga yeJodani,
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.
ngenxa yokuthi amadodakazi esizwana sikaManase athola ilifa kanye labafowabo. IGiliyadi yayingeyezizukulwana zikaManase.
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.
Ilizwe likaManase lalisukela e-Asheri lisiya eMikhimethathi empumalanga kweShekhemu. Umngcele wawudabula usiya usiyagoqela abantu ababehlala e-Eni-Thaphuwa.
8 (Manasse ne yake da ƙasar Taffuwa, amma garin Taffuwa kansa, a kan iyakar Manasse ta mutanen Efraim ce.)
(UManase wayelomhlaba elizweni leThaphuwa, kodwa iThaphuwa ngokwayo, emngceleni kaManase, yayingeyama-Efrayimi.)
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.
Umngcele waqhubeka eningizimu usiya oDongeni lweKhana. Kwakulamadolobho ka-Efrayimi ayakhelwe phakathi kwamadolobho kaManase, kodwa umngcele kaManase wawulicele langenyakatho lodonga njalo uphelela olwandle.
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.
Eningizimu ilizwe lalingelika-Efrayimi, enyakatho lingelikaManase. Ilizwe likaManase lalifika olwandle njalo lingcelezelane lo-Asheri enyakatho kanye lo-Isakhari empumalanga.
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).
Phakathi kuka-Isakhari lo-Asheri uManase wayeloBhethi-Shani, u-Ibhiliyami labantu beDori, abe-Endo, abeThanakhi leMegido, ndawonye lemizana ababakhelane layo (owesithathu eluhlwini kwakunguNafothi).
12 Duk da haka mutanen Manasse ba su iya mallakar garuruwan nan ba, domin Kan’aniyawa sun nace da zama a wannan yanki.
Kodwa-ke abakoManase kabenelisanga ukuthatha amadolobho la ngoba amaKhenani ayezimisele ukuhlala kuleyondawo.
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.
Lanxa kunjalo, kwathi abako-Israyeli sebelamandla amakhulu, benza amaKhenani izigqili zabo kodwa kababaxotshanga kokuphela.
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.”
Abantu bakoJosefa bathi kuJoshuwa, “Kungani lisinike isabelo esisodwa kuphela lengxenye eyodwa yelifa na? Singabantu abanengi kakhulu njalo uThixo usibusise kakhulu.”
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.”
UJoshuwa wabaphendula wathi; “Nxa libanengi kakhulu, njalo nxa ilizwe lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi lilincinyane kini, ngenani eguswini liyecenta umhlaba ube ngowenu elizweni lamaPherizi lelamaRefayi.”
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.”
Abantu bakoJosefa baphendula bathi, “Ilizwe lamaqaqa kaliseneli njalo amaKhenani wonke ahlala emagcekeni alezinqola zensimbi, bonke abaseBhethi-Shani lemizana yakhona lalabo ababehlala esigodini seJezerili.”
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,
Kodwa uJoshuwa wakhuluma labendlu kaJosefa, ku-Efrayimi loManase wathi, “Libanengi njalo lilamandla amakhulu kakhulu. Kalisoze libe lesabelo esisodwa kuphela,
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.”
kodwa lelizwe lamaqaqa aliligusu. Licenteni lize liyefika lapho eliphelela khona kube ngelenu; lanxa amaKhenani elezinqola zensimbi njalo lanxa elamandla, lingawaxotsha.”
