1 Hanki Josefena zage mofavre'amofo Manase naga nofira mago mopa refko huzami'naze. Hagi Manasena zage mofavre'a Makirikino Gileati vahe'mokizmi nezmafa'e. Na'ankure agra korapara harfa ne' mani'negu Giliatine Basani mopa agri nagara refko huzami'naze.

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 Hagi amu'nompinti'ma mago'a Manase naga'ma refkoma hu'za mani'naza nagara, nagate nofite hu'za mopama refko huzami'nazana, Abiesama, Helekima, Asrielima, Sekemima, Heferine Semitane huno refko huzami'naze. Hanki ama ana nagara Josefe mofavre Manase nagapinti efora hu'naza vene'negi'za, mago mago naga'nofite'ma ugota hu'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagi'a me'ne.

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 Hagi Serofehati'a Heferi mofavre manigeno, Heferi'a Gileati mofavre manigeno, Gileati'a Makiri mofavre manigeno, Makiri'a Manase mofavre mani'ne. Hianagi Zelofehati'a mago ne' mofavrea onte'neanki, mofanege zmante'neankino zamagi'a amanahu hu'ne, Malaki, Noaki, Hoklaki, Milkaki Tirsaki huno zamante'ne.

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 Hanki ana mofa'nemo'za zamagra pristi ne' Eliesane, Nuni nemofo Josuane, mago'a Israeli kva vahete vu'za amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo Mosesena asamino, tasarehe'zama mopama erisafintira mago'a tagrikura mopa zamiho huno hunte'ne. E'ina hu'negu Josua'a Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteno mopazamifinti zamasarerehe'mokizmia mago'a mopa zami'ne.

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 Hagi Manase naga'mo'za Jodani timofo zage hanati kaziga Gileati mopane Bashani mopanena eri'ne'za, mago'ane 10niafi refkoma huzami'naza mopanena eri'naze.

Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,

6 Hagi Manase nagapinti mofa'nemo'za, vene'nemo'zama mopama erizafintira zamagranena anampinti mago'a mopa eri'naze. Hanki Gileati mopa mago'a Manase mofavremokizmi mopa me'ne.

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 Hanki Manase naga nofi'mofo mopamo'a, Aseriti agafa huteno Sekemu zage hanati kaziga Mikmetati vu'ne. Hagi anantetira mopamofo agema'amo'a henkamu sauti kaziga uramino En-Tapuama nemaniza vahera zamazerigu'a ate'ne.

The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.

8 Tapua mopa Manase naga nofi'mofo mopa megeno, Tapua rankumara Manase naga'mofo mopa agema'arega me'neanagi, Efraemi naga'mofo mopa me'ne.

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 Hagi anantetira mopamofo agema'amo'a fenkamu sauti kaziga uramino Kana osi tinte uhanati'ne. Ana timofo sauti kazigama me'nea rankuma tamina, Efraemi naga'mofo kumatamine. E'ina rankumatamimo'a Manase naga rankumatamimofo amu'nompi me'ne. Hianagi Manase naga'mofo mopa agema'amo'a Kana osi tinkagomu'mofo noti kaziga evuteno, vuno Mediterenia ra hagerintega uhanati'ne.

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 Hanki Sauti kazigama me'nea mopa Efraemi naga'mokizmi mope. Hagi noti kazigama me'nea mopa Manase naga'mokizmi mopagino zage fre kaziga Mediterenia ra hagerikenare ome atre'ne. Hagi Manase naga'mofo mopa agema'amo'a rugitagigeno, Aseli nagamofo mopa noti kaziga megeno, Isakar naga'mofo mopa zage hanati kaziga me'ne.

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 Hanki Manase naga'mofo mopa Isaka naga'ene Aseli naga'mokizmi mopafina me'neana, Betsani rankuma'ene ne'eonse kumatamima tavaoma'are'ma me'nea kumatamine, Ibliamu rankuma'ene, ne'onse kumatamima tava'oma'are'ma me'nea kumatamine, Nafat Dori rankuma'ene, Endori rankuma'ene, Tamak rankuma'ene, Megido rankuma'ene ana maka ra kumatamimofo tavao zamire'ma me'nea neonse kumatamia Manase naga'mo'za eri'naze.

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 Ana hu'neanagi Manase naga'mo'za ana rankumatamimpintira Kenani vahera zamahenati otre zamatrage'za ana mopafi mani'naze.

But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.

13 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama hankave nentake'ma nehu'za, Kenani vahera zamahenatitre vagaore'nazanki, mago'a zamatrage'za manine'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi kazokzo eri'za eri zamante'naze.

However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.

14 Henka Josefe naga'mo'za Josuankura amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo tagri nagara asomu hurantegeta rama'a vahe fore huta mani'nonanki, na'a higenka magoke mopagera tami'nane?

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 Hagi Josua'a ke nonazmia amanage hu'ne, Tamagrama tusi'a vahe'ma fore hu'ne'nageno Efraemi agona mopamo'ma osi'ma huramante'nigeta, Perisi vahe'ene, Refaimi vahe mopafi anagamu zafa tanoparega marerita kumara ome eriama huta maniho.

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 Hige'za Josefe naga'mo'za amanage hu'naze, agona mopamo'a knarera huorantegahie. Hianagi agupofima Kenani vahe'ma nemaniza vahe'ene, Bet Sani ran kumate'ene, ne'onse kuma'ma tava'oma'are'ma me'nea kumatamimpine, Jezrili agupofima nemaniza ha'ma hu'zana aenire karisi ante'naze.

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 Hianagi Josua'a amanage huno Josefe mofavrerare Manasene, Efraemi naga'mokizmia zamasami'ne, Tamagra tusi'a vahe fore hutma hankavenentake hu'nazankita magoke mopafina omanigahaze.

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 Hagi agonarega zafa mopa me'neanagi, tamagra amane ome eriama huta erigahaze. Inante zafa mopamo'a ome atre'neo, anama'a eriama'ma hanazama'amo'a tamagri mopa manegahie. Hanki Kenani vahe'mo'za aenire karisi ante'ne'za hanvenentake hu'nazanagi, tamagra amne zamahe natitregahaze.

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.”
