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.
This was the assignment of land for the tribe of Manasseh (who was the firstborn of Joseph)—that is, for Makir, who was Manasseh's firstborn and who himself was the father of Gilead. Makir's descendants were assigned the land of Gilead and Bashan, because Makir had been a man of war.
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.
Land was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, given to their clans—Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, presented by their clans.
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.
Now Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh had no sons, but only daughters. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, 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.
They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and they said, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So, following the commandment of Yahweh, he gave those women an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 Anjara folo ty nitsatoke ho a i Menasè mandikoatse i tane Gilade naho i Basaney, alafe’ Iardeney añe;
Ten parcels of land were assigned to Manasseh in Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the 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 received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was assigned to the rest of the tribe 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.
The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Mikmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the border went southward to those living near the spring of 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 the town of Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the tribe 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.
The border went down to the brook of Kanah. These cities south of the brook among the towns of Manasseh belonged to Ephraim. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended 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.
The land to the south belonged to Ephraim, and the land to the north was Manasseh's; the sea was the border. On the north side Asher can be reached, and to the east, 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.
Also in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shan and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Endor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages (and the third city is Napheth).
12 Tsy nahafandroake o mpimone’ i rova reio t’i Menasè; fe nifonem-pitobok’ amy taney o nte-Kanàneo.
Yet the tribe of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, for the Canaanites continued to live in this land.
13 Aa naho nitombo ty haozara’ o ana’ Israeleo le nametsaha’ iareo haba o nte-Kanàneo, fa tsy fonga rinoake.
When the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not completely 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?
Then the descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one assignment of land and one portion for an inheritance, since we are a people great in number, and all along Yahweh has blessed us?”
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.
Joshua said to them, “If you are a people great in number, go up by yourselves to the forest and there clear the ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim. Do this, since the hill country of Ephraim is too small 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.
The descendants of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. But all the Canaanites who live in the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shan and its villages, and those 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;
Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a people great in number, and you have great power. You must not have only one piece of land assigned to you.
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.
The hill country will also be yours. Though it is a forest, you will clear it and take possession of it to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron, and even though they are strong.”
