Jozue 17
1 Libota ya Manase, mwana liboso ya Jozefi, bazwaki eteni ya mabele; pamba te Makiri, mwana liboso ya Manase, tata ya Galadi, azalaki moto ya bitumba mpe azwaki Galadi mpe Bashani.
And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
2 Bakitani mosusu ya Manase, kolanda mabota na bango, bazwaki eteni ya mabele: bakitani ya Abiezeri, ya Eleki, ya Asirieli, ya Sishemi, ya Eferi mpe ya Shemida. Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi, kolanda bituka na bango.
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 Tselofikadi, mwana mobali ya Eferi, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, atikalaki kobota bana mibali te; azalaki kaka na bana basi oyo bakombo na bango ezalaki: Mala, Noa, Ogila, Milika mpe Tiritsa.
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 Bayaki liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, liboso ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe liboso ya bakambi. Balobaki: « Yawe apesaki mitindo epai ya Moyize ete apesa biso eteni ya mabele kati ya bandeko na biso ya mibali. » Boye, Jozue apesaki bango libula elongo na bandeko mibali ya tata na bango, kolanda mitindo na Yawe.
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 Boye, ndambo ya libota ya Manase ezwaki biteni zomi, bakisa mokili ya Galadi mpe ya Bashani oyo ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
6 Na bongo, bakitani ya Manase ya basi bazwaki libula ya mabele kati na bakitani na ye ya mibali, kasi mokili ya Galadi ezalaki ya bana mibali mosusu ya Manase.
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 Eteni ya mabele ya Manase ezalaki longwa na Aseri, na mokili ya Mikimeta oyo ezalaki ya kotalana na Sishemi, kino na ngambo ya Yamini, na ngambo ya bavandi ya Eyini-Tapua.
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 Manase azwaki eteni ya mabele ya Tapua, kasi yango moko Tapua oyo ezalaki na bandelo ya Manase ezalaki ya bakitani ya Efrayimi.
It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.
9 Bongo mondelo ekitaki kino na ngambo ya sude ya moluka ya Kana. Bingumba oyo ezalaki na zingazinga ya bingumba ya Manase ezalaki ya Efrayimi. Kasi mondelo ya Manase elekaki na ngambo ya nor ya moluka mpe ekendeki kosuka na Ebale monene.
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 Efrayimi azwaki eteni ya mabele oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya sude; mpe Manase azwaki oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya nor. Eteni ya mabele ya Manase ekomaki kino na Ebale monene, na mondelo ya Aseri, na ngambo ya nor mpe ya Isakari, na ngambo ya este.
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 Kati na Isakari mpe Aseri, Manase azwaki Beti-Sheani elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Yibileayimi elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Dori elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Eyini-Dori elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, Taanaki elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, mpe Megido elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike (engumba ya misato, kati na molongo, ezali Nafoti).
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 Nzokande, bakitani ya Manase bazalaki na makoki te ya kozwa bingumba oyo, pamba te bato ya Kanana batingamaki kaka kovanda na etuka yango.
And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
13 Atako bongo, tango bana ya Isalaele bakomaki makasi koleka, bakomaki kosalisa bato ya Kanana misala makasi oyo ekoki na bawumbu, kasi bakokaki te kobengana bango.
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 Bakitani ya Jozefi balobaki na Jozue: — Mpo na nini opesi biso lokola libula, kaka eteni moko ya mabele? Tozali penza bato ebele na motango mpe Yawe apamboli biso makasi.
And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Therefore have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
15 Jozue azongiselaki bango: — Soki bozali bato ebele mpe etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi ezali moke mpo na bino, bokende komikatela eteni ya mabele na bazamba ya bato ya Perizi mpe ya Refayimi.
And Joshua said to them, If you be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for yourself, If mount Ephraim be too little for you.
16 Bakitani ya Jozefi balobaki na ye: — Mokili ya bangomba ezali moke mpo na biso, mpe bato nyonso ya Kanana oyo bavandaka na etando ya Beti-Sheani elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, mpe bavandi ya lubwaku ya Jizireyeli, bazalaka na bashar ya bibende mpo na kobunda.
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 Jozue alobaki na bato ya Efrayimi mpe ya Manase, bakitani ya Jozefi: — Bozali ebele mpe bozali makasi. Bokozala kaka na eteni ya mabele moko te.
And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have [only] one inheritance.
18 Kasi bozwa etuka mobimba ya bangomba, atako ezali bazamba; bokata bazamba yango mpe bovanda kuna kino na basuka na yango, bobengana bato ya Kanana, atako bazali na bashar ya bibende mpe bazali makasi.
For you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and [the land] shall be your; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.
