< Yosua 17 >
1 Inilah tanah yang diberikan kepada suku Manasye, anak sulung Yusuf. Daerah Gilead dan Basan di sebelah timur sungai Yordan diberikan kepada Makir, anak sulung Manasye, ayah Gilead. Daerah itu diberikan kepada Makir karena dia seorang pahlawan perang.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Tanah di sebelah barat sungai Yordan diberikan kepada marga-marga lainnya dari suku Manasye, yaitu Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Sikem, Hefer, dan Semida. Marga-marga ini adalah keturunan laki-laki dari Manasye, anak Yusuf.
There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 Akan tetapi, Zelafehad anak Hefer tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, hanya anak-anak perempuan yang bernama Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka, dan Tirza. (Hefer adalah anak Gilead, cucu Makir, dan cicit Manasye.)
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Perempuan-perempuan itu menemui imam Eleazar, Yosua, serta para pemimpin bangsa Israel dan berkata, “TUHAN menyuruh Musa untuk memberikan tanah warisan kepada kami di antara saudara-saudara kami.” Maka Yosua memberi mereka tanah warisan di antara saudara-saudara laki-laki ayah mereka, sesuai perintah TUHAN.
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Demikianlah suku Manasye mendapat sepuluh bidang tanah di sebelah barat sungai Yordan, karena keturunan perempuan Manasye itu juga menerima tanah warisan sama seperti keturunan laki-laki. Suku Manasye juga mendapat daerah Gilead dan Basan di sebelah timur sungai Yordan. Daerah Gilead sudah diberikan kepada keturunan Manasye lainnya.
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
7 Wilayah suku Manasye terbentang dari perbatasan wilayah suku Asyer sampai ke kota Mikmetat, yang terletak di sebelah timur kota Sikem, kemudian terus ke arah selatan sampai ke daerah penduduk En Tapuah.
And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 Daerah Tapuah adalah milik suku Manasye, tetapi kota Tapuah di perbatasan wilayah Manasye adalah milik suku Efraim.
[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
9 Kemudian garis batas selatan itu turun ke sungai Kana dan menelusurinya ke arah barat sampai ke Laut Tengah. Wilayah suku Manasye sebagian besar terletak di sebelah utara sungai Kana. Di sebelah selatan sungai Kana, ada beberapa kota yang dimiliki suku Efraim meskipun masih terletak di dalam wilayah Manasye. Demikianlah wilayah suku Manasye berbatasan dengan wilayah suku Efraim di sebelah selatan, Laut Tengah di sebelah barat, wilayah suku Asyer di sebelah barat laut, dan wilayah suku Isakar di sebelah timur laut.
And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
Southward [it was] Ephraim’s, and northward [it was] Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 Di dalam wilayah suku Asyer dan suku Isakar, ada beberapa kota beserta desa-desa di sekitarnya yang diberikan kepada suku Manasye. Kota-kota itu adalah Bet Sean, Yibleam, Dor (di pinggir laut), En Dor, Taanak, dan Megido.
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.
12 Namun, suku Manasye tidak dapat mengusir orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota-kota itu karena mereka bersikeras tinggal di daerah sana.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Ketika orang Israel semakin kuat, mereka menjadikan orang-orang Kanaan itu pekerja paksa, tetapi tidak mengusir mereka sepenuhnya.
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14 Berkatalah keturunan Yusuf kepada Yosua, “TUHAN sudah memberkati kami sehingga jumlah kami sangat banyak. Kenapa engkau memberikan kepada kami hanya sebidang tanah saja sebagai warisan?”
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
15 Jawab Yosua kepada mereka, “Kalau jumlah kalian sangat banyak dan daerah pegunungan Efraim terlalu sempit bagi kalian, mendakilah ke hutan dan bukalah tanah di daerah orang Feris dan Refaim.”
And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16 Kata mereka lagi, “Pegunungan itu terlalu sempit bagi kami. Lagipula semua orang Kanaan yang tinggal di dataran rendah mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi, baik yang tinggal di daerah Bet Sean dan desa-desa sekitarnya, maupun yang tinggal di lembah Yisreel.”
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Beth-shean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
17 Lalu kata Yosua kepada keturunan Yusuf, yaitu suku Efraim dan Manasye, “Memang, kalian sangat banyak dan sangat kuat. Kalian akan mendapat lebih dari satu bagian.
And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only: ]
18 Daerah pegunungan juga akan menjadi milik kalian. Karena daerah itu adalah hutan, bukalah hutan itu dan milikilah seluruhnya. Kalian juga akan mengusir orang Kanaan meskipun mereka kuat dan mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi.”
But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.
