Iosue 17
1 Cecidit autem sors tribui Manasse: (ipse enim est primogenitus Ioseph) Machir primogenito Manasse patri Galaad, qui fuit vir pugnator, habuitque possessionem Galaad et Basan:
And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the first-born of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the first-born of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
2 et reliquis filiorum Manasse iuxta familias suas, filiis Abiezer, et filiis Helec, et filiis Esriel, et filiis Sechem, et filiis Hepher, et filiis Semida. Isti sunt filii Manasse filii Ioseph, mares, per cognationes suas.
And there was [land] assigned to the other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi, and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these [are] the males according to their families.
3 Salphaad vero filio Hepher filii Galaad filii Machir filii Manasse non erant filii, sed solæ filiæ: quarum ista sunt nomina, Maala et Noa et Hegla et Melcha et Thersa.
And Salpaad the sons of Opher had no sons but daughters: and these [are] the names of the daughters of Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
4 Veneruntque in conspectu Eleazari sacerdotis, et Iosue filii Nun, et principum dicentes: Dominus præcepit per manum Moysi, ut daretur nobis possessio in medio fratrum nostrorum. Deditque eis iuxta imperium Domini possessionem in medio fratrum patris earum.
And they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Et ceciderunt funiculi Manasse, decem, absque Terra Galaad et Basan trans Iordanem.
And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
6 Filiæ enim Manasse possederunt hereditatem in medio filiorum eius. Terra autem Galaad cecidit in sortem filiorum Manasse qui reliqui erant.
For the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
7 Fuitque terminus Manasse ab Aser, Machmethath quæ respicit Sichem: et egreditur ad dexteram iuxta habitatores Fontis Taphuæ.
And the borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders [even] to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
8 Etenim in sorte Manasse ceciderat Terra Taphuæ, quæ est iuxta terminos Manasse filiorum Ephraim.
It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.
9 Descenditque terminus Vallis Arundineti in meridiem torrentis civitatum Ephraim, quæ in medio sunt urbium Manasse: terminus Manasse ab Aquilone torrentis, et exitus eius pergit ad mare:
And the borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ([there is] a turpentine tree [belonging] to Ephraim between [that and] the city of Manasse: ) and the borders of Manasse [are] northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.
10 ita ut possessio Ephraim sit ab Austro, et ab Aquilone Manasse, et utramque claudat mare, et coniungantur sibi in tribu Aser ab Aquilone, et in tribu Issachar ab Oriente.
Southward [the land belongs] to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
11 Fuitque hereditas Manasse in Issachar et in Aser, Bethsan et viculi eius, et Ieblaam cum viculis suis, et habitatores Dor cum oppidis suis, habitatores quoque Endor cum viculis suis: similiterque habitatores Thenac cum viculis suis, et habitatores Mageddo cum viculis suis, et tertia pars urbis Nopheth.
And Manasses shall have in [the portion of] Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
12 Nec potuerunt filii Manasse has civitates subvertere, sed cœpit Chananæus habitare in terra sua.
And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
13 Postquam autem convaluerunt filii Israel, subiecerunt Chananæos, et fecerunt sibi tributarios, nec interfecerunt eos.
And it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.
14 Locutique sunt filii Ioseph ad Iosue, et dixerunt: Quare dedisti mihi possessionem sortis et funiculi unius, cum sim tantæ multitudinis, et benedixerit mihi Dominus?
And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Wherefore hast thou caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
15 Ad quos Iosue ait: Si populus multus es, ascende in silvam, et succide tibi spatia in Terra Pherezæi et Raphaim: quia angusta est tibi possessio montis Ephraim.
And Joshua said to them, If thou be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for thyself, If mount Ephraim be too little for thee.
16 Cui responderunt filii Ioseph: Non poterimus ad montana conscendere, cum ferreis curribus utantur Chananæi, qui habitant in terra campestri, in qua sitæ sunt Bethsan cum viculis suis, et Iezrael mediam possidens vallem.
And they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan, and in its villages, [and] in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.
17 Dixitque Iosue ad domum Ioseph, Ephraim et Manasse: Populus multus es, et magnæ fortitudinis, non habebis sortem unam,
And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If thou art a great people, and hast great strength, thou shalt not have [only] one inheritance.
18 sed transibis ad montem, et succides tibi, atque purgabis ad habitandum spatia: et poteris ultra procedere cum subverteris Chananæum, quem dicis ferreos habere currus, et esse fortissimum.
For thou shalt have the wood, for there is a wood, and thou shalt clear it, and [the land] shall be thine; even when thou shalt have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet thou art stronger than he.
