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.
Kwasekusiba lenkatho yesizwe sakoManase, ngoba wayelizibulo likaJosefa, engekaMakiri izibulo likaManase uyise kaGileyadi; ngoba yena wayengumuntu wempi; ngakho waba leGileyadi leBashani.
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.
Yayikhona njalo eyabaseleyo babantwana bakoManase ngokwensendo zabo, eyabantwana bakoAbiyezeri, leyabantwana bakoHeleki, leyabantwana bakoAsiriyeli, leyabantwana bakoShekema, leyabantwana bakoHeferi, leyabantwana bakoShemida. Laba ngabantwana besilisa bakaManase indodana kaJosefa ngokwensendo zabo.
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.
Kodwa uZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi indodana kaGileyadi indodana kaMakiri indodana kaManase wayengelamadodana, kodwa amadodakazi. Lala ngamabizo amadodakazi akhe: OMahla loNowa, uHogila, uMilka loTiriza.
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.
Asesondela phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kukaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni laphambi kweziphathamandla, esithi: INkosi yalaya uMozisi ukusinika ilifa phakathi kwabafowethu. Ngakho wawanika ngokomlayo weNkosi ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise.
5 Ua lilo ia Manase na aina he umi; he okoa ka aina o Gileada, a me Basana ma kela kapa o Ioredane.
Ngakho kwawela inkatho ezilitshumi kuManase, ngaphandle kwelizwe leGileyadi leBashani, elingaphetsheya kweJordani.
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.
Ngoba amadodakazi kaManase adla ilifa phakathi kwamadodana akhe. Lelizwe leGileyadi laba ngelabaseleyo bamadodana akoManase.
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.
Umngcele wakoManase wasusukela eAsheri usiya eMikimethathi ephambi kweShekema; lomngcele waya ngakwesokunene kubahlali beEni-Tapuwa.
8 Aia ia Manase ka aina o Tapua: aka, o Tapua ma ka mokuna o Manase aia i ka poe mamo a Eperaima.
UManase waba lelizwe leTapuwa, kodwa iTapuwa emngceleni kaManase yayingeyabantwana bakoEfrayimi.
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.
Lomngcele wehlela esifuleni iKana eningizimu kwesifula. Imizi le ngeyakoEfrayimi phakathi kwemizi yakoManase. Lomngcele wakoManase usenyakatho kwesifula, lokuphuma kwawo kuselwandle.
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.
Eningizimu lalingelakoEfrayimi, lenyakatho lalingelakoManase, lolwandle lungumngcele wakhe. LeAsheri bahlangana enyakatho, leIsakari empumalanga.
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.
Ngoba koIsakari loAsheri uManase wayeleBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo, leIbileyamu lemizana yayo, labahlali beDori lemizana yayo, labahlali beEni-Dori lemizana yayo, labahlali beThahanakhi lemizana yayo, labahlali beMegido lemizana yayo: Amadundulu amathathu.
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.
Kodwa abantwana bakoManase babengelakho ukuxotsha elifeni leyomizi, kodwa amaKhanani ayefuna ukuhlala kulelolizwe.
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.
Kodwa kwathi lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli sebelamandla bawasebenzisa amaKhanani njengezibhalwa, kodwa kabawaxotshanga lokuwaxotsha elifeni.
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.
Abantwana bakoJosefa basebekhuluma kuJoshuwa besithi: Unginikeleni inkatho eyodwa lesabelo esisodwa ukuba yilifa, kube kanti ngiyisizwe esikhulu, njengoba iNkosi ingibusisile kuze kube lapha?
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.
UJoshuwa wasesithi kubo: Uba uyisizwe esikhulu, wena yenyukela eguswini, uzicentele khona elizweni lamaPerizi leleziqhwaga, nxa intaba yakoEfrayimi iminyene kuwe.
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.
Abantwana bakoJosefa basebesithi: Intaba kayisanelanga, njalo kulenqola zensimbi lamaKhanani wonke ahlala elizweni lesihotsha, lawaseBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo, lawasesigodini seJizereyeli.
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.
UJoshuwa wasekhuluma kundlu kaJosefa, kuEfrayimi lakuManase esithi: Uyisizwe esikhulu, futhi ulamandla amakhulu; kawuyikuba lenkatho eyodwa,
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.
kodwa intaba izakuba ngeyakho; ngoba iligusu, uzalicenta, lokuphuma kwalo kube ngokwakho, ngoba uzawaxotsha elifeni amaKhanani, lanxa elenqola zensimbi, lanxa elamandla.
