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.
This was the allocation to the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn son. Machir was Manasseh's firstborn son who was the father of Gilead. Because Machir had been an excellent fighter, Gilead and Bashan had already been allocated to him.
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.
The allocation was for the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, to the families of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by families.
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, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons. He only had daughters, whose names were 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 the son of Nun, and the leaders, and told them, “The Lord ordered Moses to give us an allocation of land along with our brothers.” So Joshua allotted land to them along with their brothers, as the Lord had ordered.
5 Ua lilo ia Manase na aina he umi; he okoa ka aina o Gileada, a me Basana ma kela kapa o Ioredane.
Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of 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 the tribe of Manasseh received an allocation along with the sons. (The land of Gilead had been allotted to the rest of the descendants 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.
The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of 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 land around Tappuah was allocated to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was on the border of Manasseh's land, was allocated 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 boundary ran down to the valley of Kenah. South of the valley some of the towns belonged to Ephraim among the towns of Manasseh. The boundary ran along the north side of the valley 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.
To the south the land belonged to Ephraim, and to the north, to Manasseh. The sea is the boundary. The boundary to the north was with Asher, and with Issachar to 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.
The following towns with their associated villages were allocated to Manasseh but lay within the land of Issachar and Asher: Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor (on the coast), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
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 could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the 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, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.
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 descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked him, “Why have you given us only one allocation—only one share of the land—when there's so many of us because the Lord has blessed us so much?”
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 told them, “If there's so many of you, if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, then go and clear ground for yourselves from the forest 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 descendants of Joseph replied, “The hill country isn't big enough for us, but the Canaanites living in the lowlands have iron chariots, both those in Beth-shan and its villages, and those 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.
Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, “Since you are so many, and you are so strong, you will be given more than just one share.
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.
You will be allocated the hill country in addition. Though it is forest, you will clear it and own it, from one end to the other. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots, and even though they are strong.”
