Joshua 17
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.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; that is, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore 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 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 offspring of Manasseh the son of Joseph by 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.
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 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, 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 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 were on the other side of Jordan;
6 mweyen itukyang acn sin mukul oayapa mutan natul Manasseh. Acn Gilead itukyang nu sin mwet lula nukewa in sruf lal Manasseh.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had 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 land of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah.
8 Acn ma raunela siti Tappuah ma lal Manasseh, tusruktu siti se inge Tappuah ma oan fin masrol an, ma lun tulik natul Ephraim.
Now 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 river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the ends of it were 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 is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in 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 Bethshean 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, even three countries.
12 Tusruktu, mwet Manasseh elos koflana lusak mwet in siti ingo, oru mwet Canaan elos mutana we.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but 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.
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour; but did not utterly drive them out.
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 but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me until now?
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 answered them, If thou art a great people, then go up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too small 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 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 Bethshean and its towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
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, even 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 mountain shall be thine; for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down: and the borders of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong.
