Joshua 17
1 Nke a bụ oke e kenyere ndị ebo Manase, bụ ọkpara Josef, ya bụ Makia ọkpara Manase, onye bụ nna nna ndị Gilead. Onye natara ala Gilead na Bashan, nʼihi na ndị agbụrụ Makia bụ dike nʼagha.
This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Ya mere, oke a dịịrị ndị fọdụrụ nʼebo Manase dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị. Agbụrụ Abieza, Helek, Asriel, Shekem, Hefa na Shemida. Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom agbụrụ Manase, nwa Josef, dịka ikwu ha si dị.
So this was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, for the children of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the children of Shechem, for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida. These were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
3 Ma Zelofehad, nwa Hefa, nwa Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase, amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom kama ọ mụtara naanị ụmụ ndị inyom, ndị aha ha bụ nke a: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tịaza.
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Ndị inyom ndị a bịakwutere Elieza, onye nchụaja na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihu ndị ndu ụmụ Izrel niile sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya kenye anyị ala nke anyị, dịka o si kenye ụmụ ndị ikom ikwu anyị.” Ya mere, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu, Joshua nyere ha ihe nketa ruuru ha nʼetiti ụmụnne nna ha, dịka ndị ọzọ si keta.
They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 Manase chịtara ala oke iri, tinyere Gilead, na Bashan nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan,
Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
6 nʼihi na e mere ka ndị inyom Manase keta oke nʼetiti ndị ikom ebo Manase. Ala fọdụrụ na Gilead bụ ndị ikom ebo Manase nwe ya.
because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
7 Oke ala ebo Manase gbatịrị site nʼAsha ruo na Mikmetat, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Shekem. Ọ gbatịkwara nʼakụkụ ndịda site nʼebe ahụ tinyere ndị bi nʼala En-Tapụọa.
The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
8 Ala dị gburugburu Tapụọa bụ ala ebo Manase, ma obodo Tapụọa nʼonwe ya, nke dị nʼoke ala ebo Manase, bụ obodo ebo Ifrem.
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
9 Oke ala ụmụ Manase gbatịrị ga ndịda ruo na mmiri iyi Kana. Ụfọdụ obodo ndị Ifrem dị nʼebe ahụ, nʼetiti obodo ndị Manase, kama oke ala ndị Manase nʼakụkụ ugwu iyi ahụ kwụsịrị nʼosimiri Mediterenịa.
The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and ended at the sea.
10 Ala dị na ndịda bụ nke e kenyere Ifrem, ma ala mgbago ugwu bụ nke Manase. Ala ndị Manase gbatịrị ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa ma ha na ndị Asha nwekọrọ oke ala nʼakụkụ ugwu, ebe ha na ndị Isaka nwere oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
11 Manase ka e nyere obodo ndị a, nke dị nʼala e nyere Isaka na Asha: obodo Bet-Shan, na Ibleam, na Doa, na Endoa, na Teanak, na Megido, na obodo nta niile gbara ha gburugburu. Obodo nke atọ bụ Nafọt.
Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, in Asher Beth Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns.
12 Ma ụmụ Manase enweghị ike ịchụpụ ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ, nʼihi na ndị Kenan nọgidere bichie obodo ndị a.
Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Ma nʼikpeazụ, mgbe ụmụ Izrel ghọrọ ndị dị ike, ha achụpụghị ndị Kenan niile bi nʼobodo ndị a kpamkpam, kama ha mere ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere ụmụ Izrel ozi, dịka ndị ohu ha.
When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
14 Ma ụmụ ụmụ Josef sịrị Joshua, “Gịnị mere i ji nye anyị naanị otu ụzọ ala ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa anyị? Ị hụrụ na Onyenwe anyị gọziri anyị mee ka ọnụọgụgụ anyị baa ụba.”
The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because Yahweh has blessed us so far?”
15 Joshua zara sị ha: “Ọ bụrụ na ala ugwu ugwu Ifrem agaghị ezuru unu nʼihi na unu bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, gaanụ nʼoke ọhịa sụchasịa ala, nʼime ala ndị Periz, na nke ndị Refaim.”
Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
16 Ụmụ Josef zara Joshua sị, “Ala ugwu ugwu a agaghị ezuru anyị. Ọzọ, ndị Kenan niile bi nʼala dị larịị nwere ụgbọala igwe, ma ndị niile bi na Bet-Shan, na ụmụ obodo nta ha na ndị bikwa na Ndagwurugwu Jezril.”
The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”
17 Ma Joshua zara ụmụ Josef, ya bụ, Ifrem na Manase, sị ha, “Unu dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, bụrụkwa ndị dị ike, ọ bụghị naanị otu oke ka unu ga-eketa,
Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;
18 nʼihi na ala ugwu ugwu oke ọhịa ahụ bụkwa nke unu. Sụchaanụ ya, ruo na nsọtụ ya, ka ọ bụrụ nke unu. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị Kenan bi nʼime ya nwere ụgbọ agha igwe, bụrụkwa ndị sịrị ike, unu nwere ike ịchụpụ ha.”
but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
