Josoa 17

1 Ary nahazo zara-tany tamin’ ny filokana koa ny firenen’ i Manase (fa izy no lahimatoan’ i Josefa), dia Makira, lahimatoan’ i Manase, rain’ i Gileada, fa izy no mpanafika ka nahazo an’ i Gileada sy Basana.

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 Ary nisy koa ho an’ ny taranak’ i Manase sisa araka ny fokony, dia ho an’ ny taranak’ i Abiezera sy Heleka sy Asriela sy Sekema sy Hefera ary Semida: ireo no zanakalahin’ i Manase, zanak’ i Josefa, araka ny fokony.

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 Fa Zelofada, zanak’ i Hefera, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Matira, zanak’ i Manase, kosa tsy mba nanan-janakalahy, fa zanakavavy ihany; ary izao no anaran’ ny zananivavy: Mahala sy Noa sy Hogla sy Milka ary Tirza.

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 Dia nanatona teo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny loholona izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Jehovah efa nandidy an’ i Mosesy hanome anay zara-tany eo amin’ ny anadahinay. Ary dia nomeny lova teo amin’ ny rahalahin-drainy izy araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.

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 Dia nahazo anjaram-polo Manase afa-tsy ny tany Gileada sy Basana, izay any an-dafin’ i Jordana,

And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.

6 satria ny zanakavavin’ i Manase niara-nahazo lova tamin’ ny zananilahy; ary ny tany Gileada dia an’ ny zanakalahin’ i Manase sisa.

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 Ary ny fari-tanin’ i Manase dia hatrany Asera ka hatrany Mikmeta, tandrifin’ i Sekema, dia nandroso tamin’ ny ankavanana hatramin’ ny mponina any En-tapoa.

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 Ary an’ i Manase ny tany Tapoa; fa Tapoa kosa, izay eo amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Manase, dia an’ ny taranak’ i Efraima.

It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.

9 Ary ny fari-taniny dia nidina hatreo atsimon’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Kana; ireo tanana teo amin’ ny tanànan’ i Manase ireo dia an’ i Efraima; ary ny faritaniny Manase dia teo avaratry ny lohasahan-driaka, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina.

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 Ny atsimo dia an’ i Efraima, ary ny avaratra dia an’ i Manase, ary ny ranomasina no fari-taniny; ary nihatra tamin’ i Asera teo avaratra sy tamin’ Isakara teo atsinanana izy.

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 Ary Manase nahazo anjara koa teo amin’ Isakara sy teo amin’ i Asera, dia Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary Ibleama sy ny zana-bohiny ay ny mponina any Dora sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any En-dora koa sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Tanaka sy ny zana-bohiny ary ny mponina any Megido sy ny zana-bohiny, dia amin’ ny havoana telo ireo.

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 Kanefa tsy nahazo ireo tanàna ireo ny taranak’ i Manase: fa tian’ ny Kananita hitoerana indrindra izany tany izany.

And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.

13 Fa rehefa nihahery ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nampanao fanompoana ny Kananita izy, fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra.

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 Dia niteny tamin’ i Josoa ny taranak’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no lova iray sy anjara iray ihany no nomenao ahy, kanefa aho efa tonga firenena lehibe, fa notahin’ Jehovah toy izao mandraka ankehitriny?

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 Dia hoy Josoa taminy: Raha firenena lehibe ary ianao, dia miakara any amin’ ny ala, ka miteveza honenanao any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Perizita sy ny Refaïta, fa terỳ loatra aminao ny tany havoan’ i Efraima.

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 Dia hoy ny taranak’ i Josefa: Tsy ampy ho anay ny tany havoana; ary manana kalesy vy ny Kananita rehetra, izay monina any amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia izay any Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny ary izay any amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela.

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 Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa, dia Efraima sy Manase: Firenena lehibe ianao ka mahery indrindra: tsy anjara iray ihany no ho azonao, fa tany havoana koa;

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 fa ala izany ka tevezo, dia ho anao ny an-tsisiny: fa handroaka ny Kananita ianao, na dia manana kalesy vy aza izy ireo sady mahery.

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.
