Josoa 17
1 Nahazo anjara an-tsapake ka ty fifokoa’ i Menasè; toe ie ty tañoloñoloña’ Iosefe; I Makire ty tañoloñoloña’ i Menasè naho ty rae’ i Gilade, aa kanao nilahin-defoñe, ie ty nahazo i Gilade naho i Basane.
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 Nahazo tane an-tsapake ka o ana’ i Menasè ila’eo ty amo hasavereña’eo; ho amo ana’ i Abiezereo, naho o ana’ i Kelekeo, naho o ana’ i Asrieleo, naho o ana’ i Sekemeo, naho o ana’ i Hefereo, vaho o ana’ i Semidao; ie ro ana-dahi’ i Menasè, ana’ Iosefe, ty amo hasavereña’eo.
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 Fe tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy t’i Tselofekhade, ana’ i Hefere, ana’ i Gilade, ana’ i Makire, ana’ i Menasè, fa anak’ ampela avao, inao ty añara’ o anak’ ampela’eo: i Maklae, i Noae, i Koglae, i Milkae naho i Tirtsae.
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 Nimb’ añatrefa’ i Eleatsare mpisoroñe mb’eo iereo naho añatrefa’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, naho añatrefa’ o roandriañeo nanao ty hoe: Linili’ Iehovà t’i Mosè t’ie hitoloran-dova amo rahalahi’aio. Aa le amy lili’ Iehovày, nitolora’e lova amo longon-droae’eo.
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 Anjara folo ty nitsatoke ho a i Menasè mandikoatse i tane Gilade naho i Basaney, alafe’ Iardeney añe;
And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
6 amy te nanañ’ anjara amo ana-dahi’eo i anak’ ampela’ i Menasè rey; nahazo ty tane Gilade o ana’ i Menasè ila’eo.
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 Boak’ Asere pake Mikemetà aolo’ i Sekeme ty efe’ i Menasè; mionjomb’eo i efetsey añ’ila’e ankavana mb’ an-kiboho’ i En-Tapoà mb’eo.
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 A i Menasè ty tane’ i Tapoà’ fe a o ana’ i Efraimeo ty ila’ i Tapoà mifañefetse amy Menasè.
It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.
9 Mizotso mb’ an-tsaka Kanà mb’eo i efetsey, atimo’ i sakay, (a i Efraime añivo’ i Menasè ao i rova rey), mañolotse ty avara’ i sakay ty efe’ i Menasè vaho mandoak’ an-driakey.
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 Mañatimo ty a’ i Efraime naho mañavaratse ty a’ i Menasè, le i riakey ro efe’e; mahatakatse i Asere t’ie avaratse naho Isakhare te atiñanañe.
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 Hoe zao o rova’ i Menasè e Isakhare naho e Asereo: i Beteseane naho o tanà’eo naho Ibleame naho o tanà’eo naho o mpimone’ i Dore naho o tanà’eo naho o mpimone’ i Endore rekets’ o tanà’eo, naho o mpimone’ i Taanàke rekets’ o tanà’eo vaho o mpimone’ i Megido rekets’ o tanà’eo, fifeheañe telo.
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 Tsy nahafandroake o mpimone’ i rova reio t’i Menasè; fe nifonem-pitobok’ amy taney o nte-Kanàneo.
And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
13 Aa naho nitombo ty haozara’ o ana’ Israeleo le nametsaha’ iareo haba o nte-Kanàneo, fa tsy fonga rinoake.
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 Ninday saontsy am’ Iehosoa ka o ana’ Iosefeo nanao ty hoe: Aa vaho akore te tinolo’o anjara raike naho vaki’e ho lovako, ie oniñe te ondaty jabajaba ami’ty fitahia’ Iehovà ahy?
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 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iehosoa: Aa kanao ondaty ra’elahy irehe, akia mb’ añ’ala mb’eo vaho hatsafo ho azo ty tanen-te Perize naho ty a o Rafào, ie maifitse ama’o o vohibohi’ i Efraimeo.
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 Le hoe o ana’ Iosefeo: Tsy mahatsak’ anay o vohibohitseo, naho songa manan-tsarete viñe o nte-Kanàne mimoneñe am-bavataneo, o e Beteseane naho amo tanà’eo vaho o amy vavatane’ Iizreeleio.
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 Tinoi’ Iehosoa i anjomba’ Iosefey, i Efraime naho i Menasè, ty hoe: Kanao ondaty jabajaba irehe, lifots-aozarañe; tsy ho anjara raik’ avao ty ho azo;
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 fe ho azo i vohibohitsey, fa ndra t’ie ala, ho hatsafe’o, le ho azo pak’añ’ efe’e lavitse añe; fa ho roahe’o o nte-Kanàneo ndra t’ie aman-tsarete viñe, ndra te maozatse.
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.
