1 Sie ipin acn roto in Infacl Jordan tuh itukyang nu sin kutu sou in sruf lal Manasseh, su tulik se oemeet natul Joseph. Na Machir, papa tumal Gilead, el wen se oemeet natul Manasseh ac el mwet pwengpeng ke mweun se, pa sis acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan itukyang lal.
And the lot came to the tribe of Manasseh (for he was the firstborn of Joseph), to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war, and he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Acn roto in Infacl Jordan itukyang nu sin sou lula lal Manasseh: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, ac Shemida. Pa inge mukul lula natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, ac elos sifen kais sie sou.
There was also [a portion] for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to 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 are the children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, according to their families.
3 Na Zelophehad, su ma natul Hepher, natul Gilead, natul Machir, natul Manasseh, wangin mukul natul — mutan mukena, ac inelos pa Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Tirzah.
And 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 Elos som nu yorol Eleazar mwet tol, ac nu yorol Joshua wen natul Nun, ac nu yurin mwet kol ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses elan ase ipin acn lasr in oapana ke mukul wiasr inge eis acn lalos.” Na elos sang acn sin mutan inge, in oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of Jehovah an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Pa inge sripa se sis tuh oasr pac ip singoul itukyang nu sin Manasseh in weang acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan,
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan.
6 mweyen itukyang acn sin mukul oayapa mutan natul Manasseh. Acn Gilead itukyang nu sin mwet lula nukewa in sruf lal Manasseh.
For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 Facl sel Manasseh pa som Asher lac nwe sun acn Michmethath, kutulap in acn Shechem. Na masrol sac fahla eir lac nu ke acn lun mwet Entappuah.
And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is before Shechem, and the border went on the right hand toward the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.
8 Acn ma raunela siti Tappuah ma lal Manasseh, tusruktu siti se inge Tappuah ma oan fin masrol an, ma lun tulik natul Ephraim.
Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
9 Na masrol an putati som nwe ke infacl srisrik Kanah. Siti nukewa ma oan eir in infacl srisrik soko ah ma lun tulik natul Ephraim, finne siti inge oan in facl lal Manasseh. Masrol lal Manasseh uh fahla epang sisken infacl srisrik soko ah nwe safla Meoa Mediterranean.
And the border descended to the torrent Kanah, south of the torrent. These cities were Ephraim's among the cities of Manasseh. And the territory of Manasseh was on the north side of the torrent, and ended at the sea.
10 Acn eir ma lal Ephraim, ac acn epang ma lal Manasseh, ac masrol lalos nu roto pa Meoa Mediterranean. Ac masrol nu roto epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Asher, ac masrol nu kuta epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Issachar.
Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. And they touched upon Asher on the north, and upon Issachar on the east.
11 Luin acn sel Issachar ac Asher, acn ekasr inge oan loac, tuh ma lal Manasseh: Beth Shan ac Ibleam ac inkul nukewa ma raunela, oayapa acn Dor (su oan sisken Meoa Mediterranean), Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, ac inkul nukewa ma raunela.
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and Ibleam and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages, the three hilly regions.
12 Tusruktu, mwet Manasseh elos koflana lusak mwet in siti ingo, oru mwet Canaan elos mutana we.
But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess [the inhabitants of] those cities; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Finne pacl se ma mwet Israel elos arulana kui, elos tiana luselosla, tusruktu elos sang orekma upa nu faclos.
And it came to pass when the children of Israel were become strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
14 Na tulik natul Joseph fahk nu sel Joshua, “Efu kom ku ase ipin acn sefanna tuh in ma lasr? Kut arulana pus, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kut.”
And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me as inheritance one lot and one portion, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed me hitherto?
15 Ac Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Kowos fin arulana pus, ac fineol Ephraim fin srikla nu suwos, na kowos utyak nu insak uh ac sifacna sakunla nu suwos kutu acn sin mwet Periz ac mwet Rephaim.”
And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a great people, then get thee up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
16 Ac elos topuk, “Facl sesr fineol uh tia fal nu sesr, tuh mwet Canaan su muta acn tupasrpasr uh oasr chariot osra natulos, kewana elos su muta Beth Shan ac elos su muta Infahlfal Jezreel ac acn nukewa ma raunela acn ingan.”
And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and those that are in the valley of Jizreel.
17 Joshua el fahk nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh Roto, “Pwaye kowos arulana pus ac ku. Fal in pus liki ipin acn se na lowos.
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only,
18 Fineol uh ma lowos. Finne acn ingan insak, kowos ac fah sakunla ac fah ma lowos nufon. Ac nu ke mwet Canaan an, kowos ac fah luselosla, elos finne mwet ku ac oasr chariot osra natulos.”
but the hill-country shall be thine, as it is a wood, thou shalt cut it down, and its outgoings shall be thine; for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots; for they are powerful.
