ヨシュア記 17
1 マナセの支派が籤によりて獲たる地は左のごとしマナセはヨセフの長子なりきマナセの長子にしてギレアデの父なるマキルは軍人なるが故にギレアデとバシヤンを獲たり
This was the assignment of land for the tribe of Manasseh (who was the firstborn of Joseph)—that is, for Makir, who was Manasseh's firstborn and who himself was the father of Gilead. Makir's descendants were assigned the land of Gilead and Bashan, because Makir had been a man of war.
2 此餘のマナセの子等即ちアビエゼルの子孫ヘレクの子孫アスリエルの子孫シケムの子孫へペルの子孫セミダの子孫などもその宗族にしたがひて獲る所ありき是等はヨセフの子マナセが男の子にしてその宗族に循ひて言るなり
Land was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, given to their clans—Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, presented by their clans.
3 マナセの子マキルその子ギレアデその子へペルその子なるゼロペハデといふ者は女の子のみありて男の子あらざりきその女の子の名はマヘラ、ノア、ホグラ、ミルカ、テルザといふ
Now Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh had no sons, but only daughters. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
4 彼等祭司エレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよび長等の前に進み出て言けらく我らの兄弟の中にて我らにも產業を與へよとヱホバ、モーセに命じおきたまへりヨシユアすなはちヱホバの命にしたがひて彼らの父の兄弟の中にて彼らにも產業を與ふ
They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and they said, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So, following the commandment of Yahweh, he gave those women an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 マナセはヨルダンの彼旁にてギレアデおよびバシヤンの地の外になほ十部の地を獲たり
Ten parcels of land were assigned to Manasseh in Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,
6 是はマナセの女の子等もその男の子等の中にて產業を獲たればなりギレアデの地はマナセのその餘の子等に屬す
because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh.
7 マナセの境界はアセルよりシケムの前なるミクメタテに及び右におもむきてエンタツプアの民に達す
The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Mikmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the border went southward to those living near the spring of Tappuah.
8 タツプアの地はマナセに屬す但しマナセの境界にあるタツプアはエフライムの子孫に屬す
(The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)
9 またその境界カナの河に下りてその河の南に至る是等の邑はマナセの邑々の中にありてエフライムに屬すマナセの境界はその河の北にあり海にいたりて盡く
The border went down to the brook of Kanah. These cities south of the brook among the towns of Manasseh belonged to Ephraim. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea.
10 その南の方はエフライムに屬し北の方はマナセに屬し海これらの境界を成すマナセは北はアセルに達し東はイツサカルに達す
The land to the south belonged to Ephraim, and the land to the north was Manasseh's; the sea was the border. On the north side Asher can be reached, and to the east, Issachar.
11 イツサカルおよびアセルの中にてマナセはベテシヤンとその郷里イブレアムとその郷里ドルの民とその郷里およびエンドルの民とその郷里タアナクの民とその郷里メギドンの民とその郷里など合せて三の高處を有り
Also in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shan and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Endor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages (and the third city is Napheth).
12 但しマナセの子孫は是らの邑の民を逐はらふことを得ざりければカナン人この地に固く住ひをりしが
Yet the tribe of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, for the Canaanites continued to live in this land.
13 イスラエルの子孫強くなるに及びてカナン人を使役し之を盡く逐ことはせざりき
When the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not completely drive them out.
14 茲にヨセフの子孫ヨシユアに語りて言けるはヱホバ今まで我を祝福たまひて我は大なる民となりけるに汝わが產業にとて只一の籤一の分のみを我に與へしは何ぞや
Then the descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one assignment of land and one portion for an inheritance, since we are a people great in number, and all along Yahweh has blessed us?”
15 ヨシユアかれらに言けるは汝もし大なる民となりしならば林に上りゆきて彼處なるペリジ人およびレバイム人の地を自ら斬ひらくべしエフライムの山地は汝には狭しと言ばなり
Joshua said to them, “If you are a people great in number, go up by yourselves to the forest and there clear the ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim. Do this, since the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you.”
16 ヨセフの子孫言けるは山地は我らには足ずかつ又谷の地にをるカナン人はベテシヤンとその郷里にをる者もヱズレルの谷にをる者も凡て鐵の戰車を有り
The descendants of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. But all the Canaanites who live in the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shan and its villages, and those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.”
17 ヨシユアかさねてヨセフの家すなはちエフライムとマナセに語りて言ふ汝は大なる民にして大なる力あり然れば只一籤のみを取てをる可らず
Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a people great in number, and you have great power. You must not have only one piece of land assigned to you.
18 山地をも汝の有とすべし是は林なれども汝これを斬ひらきてその極處を獲べしカナン人は鐵の戰車を有をりかつ強くあれども汝これを逐はらふことを得ん
The hill country will also be yours. Though it is a forest, you will clear it and take possession of it to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron, and even though they are strong.”
