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 [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 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 [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 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.
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 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 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 Anjara folo ty nitsatoke ho a i Menasè mandikoatse i tane Gilade naho i Basaney, alafe’ Iardeney añe;
And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, 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.
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 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 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 A i Menasè ty tane’ i Tapoà’ fe a o ana’ i Efraimeo ty ila’ i Tapoà mifañefetse amy Menasè.
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children 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 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 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 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 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 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 Tsy nahafandroake o mpimone’ i rova reio t’i Menasè; fe nifonem-pitobok’ amy taney o nte-Kanàneo.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants] of those cities; but the Canaanites would 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, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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.
