Iosua 17
1 A IA he aina no hoi no ka ohana a Manase; no ka mea, oia ka hiapo a Iosepa: no Makira hoi ka makahiapo a Manase, ka makua o Gileada, no ka mea, he kanaka kaua no ia, a lilo ia ia o Gileada a me Basana.
Now this was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn son, namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh and father of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because Machir was a man of war.
2 Pela no hoi no ke koena o na mamo a Manase ma ko lakou poe ohua; no na keiki a Abiezera, a no na keiki a Heleka, a no na keiki a Aseriela, a no na keiki a Sekema, a no na keiki a Hepera, a no na keiki a Semida: oia na Keikikane a Manase, a ke keiki a Iosepa ma ko lakou poe ohua.
So this allotment was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh—the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph.
3 Aka, o Zelopehada ke keiki a Hepera, ke keiki a Gileada, ke keiki a Makira, ke keiki a Manase, aole ana keikikane, he mau kaikamahine wale no: a eia na inoa o kana mau kaikamahine, o Mahela, a me Noa, a me Hogela, a me Mileka, a me Tireza.
But Zelophehad son of Hepher (the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh) had no sons but only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Ua hookokoke lakou imua o Eleazara ke kahuna, a imua o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, a imua o na luna, i ka i ana ae, Ua kauoha mai o Iehova ia Mose e haawi mai ia makou i ainahooili iwaena o ko makou poe hoahanau. No ia mea, haawi aku no ia i ainahooili no lakou iwaena o ka poe hoahanau o ko lakou makua e like me ke kauoha a Iehova.
They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and said, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers, in keeping with the command of the LORD.
5 Ua lilo ia Manase na aina he umi; he okoa ka aina o Gileada, a me Basana ma kela kapa o Ioredane.
Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan,
6 No ka mea, ua loaa i na kaikamahine a Manase ka ainahooili iwaena o kana mau keikikane; a ua lilo ka aina o Gileada i ka poe i koe o ko Manase poe mamo.
because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
7 A o ka aoao o Manase mai Asera ia, a i Mikemeta, aia imua o Sekema; a ua moe ae la ka mokuna ma ka aoao akau, a hiki i ko Enetapua poe.
Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem, then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 Aia ia Manase ka aina o Tapua: aka, o Tapua ma ka mokuna o Manase aia i ka poe mamo a Eperaima.
The region of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim.
9 Iho ilalo ka aoao i ka muliwai o Kana ma ka aoao hema o ua muliwai la. O keia mau kulanakauhale o Eperaima, aia no mawaena o na kulanakauhale o Manase; o ka mokuna o Manase aia no ia ma ka aoao akau o ua muliwai la, a o kona welau, aia ma ke kai.
From there the border continued southward to the Brook of Kanah. There were cities belonging to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh, but the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and ended at the Sea.
10 No Eperaima ko ka hema, a no Manase ko ka akau, a o ke kai kona aoao; a ua hui pu ia laua maloko o ko Asera ma ka akau, a iloko o Isakara ma ka hikina.
Ephraim’s territory was to the south, and Manasseh’s was to the north, having the Sea as its border and adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
11 Ua loaa ia Manase ma Isakara a me Asera Beteseana a me kona mau kauhale, o Ibeleama a me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Dora me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Enedora, a me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Taanaka me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Megido me kona mau kauhale; ekolu no aina.
Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that is, Naphath), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each with their surrounding settlements.
12 Aole nae e hiki i ka poe mamo a Manase ke kipaku aku i ko keia mau kulanakauhale; ua noho no ka poe Kanaana ma ia aina.
But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.
13 Aka, i ka lilo ana o ka poe mamo a Iseraela i poe ikaika, ua hoolilo lakou i ko Kanaana i poe hookupu na lakou; aole nae i kipaku loa aku ia lakou.
However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.
14 Olelo aku la na mamo a Iosepa ia Iosua, i aku, No ke aha la i haawi mai oe ia'u i hookahi wale no puu, a i hookahi ainahooili? He lahui nui no au, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova ia'u a hiki ia nei.
Then the sons of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one portion as an inheritance? We have many people, because the LORD has blessed us abundantly.”
15 I mai la o Iosua ia lakou, Ina he lahui nui oe, e pii oe nou iho i ka ululaau, a e kua iho nou malaila ma ka aina o ko Pereza, a me ka poe Repaima, ke noho pilikia oe ma ka mauna o Eperaima.
Joshua answered them, “If you have so many people that the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go to the forest and clear for yourself an area in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”
16 I aku la ka poe mamo a Iosepa, Aole i lawa ka mauna no makou, a aia no na kaa hao i ko Kanaana, i ka poe e noho ana i ka aina awawa, i ko Beteseana a me na kulanakauhale ona, a ia lakou no hoi e noho la ma ke awawa o Iezereela.
“The hill country is not enough for us,” they replied, “and all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron chariots, both in Beth-shean with its towns and in the Valley of Jezreel.”
17 I mai la o Iosua i ko ka hale o Iosepa, ia Eperaima, a me Manase, i mai la, He lahui nui oe, a ikaika loa hoi, aole ia oe ka puu hookahi wale no.
So Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You have many people and great strength. You shall not have just one allotment,
18 Aka, ia oe no hoi ka mauna; no ka mea, he ululaau no ia, a nau no e kua ilalo; a ia oe kona mau mokuna; no ka mea, e kipaku aku oe i ko Kanaana poe, i ka poe nona na kaa hao, a nona hoi ka ikaika.
because the hill country will be yours as well. It is a forest; clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours. Although the Canaanites have iron chariots and although they are strong, you can drive them out.”
