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 [this] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
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 [the lot] was 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 were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph 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.
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 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 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 Boye, ndambo ya libota ya Manase ezwaki biteni zomi, bakisa mokili ya Galadi mpe ya Bashani oyo ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, 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.
because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
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 border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 Manase azwaki eteni ya mabele ya Tapua, kasi yango moko Tapua oyo ezalaki na bandelo ya Manase ezalaki ya bakitani ya Efrayimi.
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children 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 border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:
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 it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
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 Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even the three heights.
12 Nzokande, bakitani ya Manase bazalaki na makoki te ya kozwa bingumba oyo, pamba te bato ya Kanana batingamaki kaka kovanda na etuka yango.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants] of those cities; but the Canaanites would 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, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
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 children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto the LORD hath 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 unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
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 the children of Joseph said, The hill country 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 in Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.
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 spake unto 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 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.
but the hill country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they be strong.
