UJoshuwa 17
1 Lesi kwakuyisabelo sesizwana sikaManase njengezibulo likaJosefa. UMakhiri izibulo likaManase, ukhokho wamaGiliyadi, wathatha iGiliyadi leBhashani ngenxa yokuthi amaMakhire ayengamaqhawe amakhulu.
A IA he aina no hoi no ka ohana a Manase; no ka mea, oia ka hiapo a Iosepa: no Makira hoi ka makahiapo a Manase, ka makua o Gileada, no ka mea, he kanaka kaua no ia, a lilo ia ia o Gileada a me Basana.
2 Ngakho isabelo lesi sasingesabantu bonke bakoManase, insendo zika-Abhiyezeri, uHelekhi, u-Asiriyeli, uShekhemu, uHeferi loShemida. Lezi ngezinye izizukulwane zesilisa zikaManase indodana kaJosefa ngokwensendo zazo.
Pela no hoi no ke koena o na mamo a Manase ma ko lakou poe ohua; no na keiki a Abiezera, a no na keiki a Heleka, a no na keiki a Aseriela, a no na keiki a Sekema, a no na keiki a Hepera, a no na keiki a Semida: oia na Keikikane a Manase, a ke keiki a Iosepa ma ko lakou poe ohua.
3 UZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi, indodana kaGiliyadi, indodana kaMakhiri indodana kaManase, wayengelamadodana kodwa wayelamadodakazi wodwa, amabizo awo kwakunguMahila, uNowa, uHogila, uMilikha loThiza.
Aka, o Zelopehada ke keiki a Hepera, ke keiki a Gileada, ke keiki a Makira, ke keiki a Manase, aole ana keikikane, he mau kaikamahine wale no: a eia na inoa o kana mau kaikamahine, o Mahela, a me Noa, a me Hogela, a me Mileka, a me Tireza.
4 Aya ku-Eliyazari umphristi, loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye labakhokheli athi, “UThixo walaya uMosi ukuthi asabele ilifa kanye labanewethu.” Ngakho uJoshuwa wabanika ilifa ndawonye labanewabo bakayise, kulandelwa umlayo kaThixo.
Ua hookokoke lakou imua o Eleazara ke kahuna, a imua o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, a imua o na luna, i ka i ana ae, Ua kauoha mai o Iehova ia Mose e haawi mai ia makou i ainahooili iwaena o ko makou poe hoahanau. No ia mea, haawi aku no ia i ainahooili no lakou iwaena o ka poe hoahanau o ko lakou makua e like me ke kauoha a Iehova.
5 Isabelo sikaManase sasigoqela iziqinti ezilitshumi zomhlabathi emhlubulweni weGiliyadi leBhashani empumalanga yeJodani,
Ua lilo ia Manase na aina he umi; he okoa ka aina o Gileada, a me Basana ma kela kapa o Ioredane.
6 ngenxa yokuthi amadodakazi esizwana sikaManase athola ilifa kanye labafowabo. IGiliyadi yayingeyezizukulwana zikaManase.
No ka mea, ua loaa i na kaikamahine a Manase ka ainahooili iwaena o kana mau keikikane; a ua lilo ka aina o Gileada i ka poe i koe o ko Manase poe mamo.
7 Ilizwe likaManase lalisukela e-Asheri lisiya eMikhimethathi empumalanga kweShekhemu. Umngcele wawudabula usiya usiyagoqela abantu ababehlala e-Eni-Thaphuwa.
A o ka aoao o Manase mai Asera ia, a i Mikemeta, aia imua o Sekema; a ua moe ae la ka mokuna ma ka aoao akau, a hiki i ko Enetapua poe.
8 (UManase wayelomhlaba elizweni leThaphuwa, kodwa iThaphuwa ngokwayo, emngceleni kaManase, yayingeyama-Efrayimi.)
Aia ia Manase ka aina o Tapua: aka, o Tapua ma ka mokuna o Manase aia i ka poe mamo a Eperaima.
9 Umngcele waqhubeka eningizimu usiya oDongeni lweKhana. Kwakulamadolobho ka-Efrayimi ayakhelwe phakathi kwamadolobho kaManase, kodwa umngcele kaManase wawulicele langenyakatho lodonga njalo uphelela olwandle.
Iho ilalo ka aoao i ka muliwai o Kana ma ka aoao hema o ua muliwai la. O keia mau kulanakauhale o Eperaima, aia no mawaena o na kulanakauhale o Manase; o ka mokuna o Manase aia no ia ma ka aoao akau o ua muliwai la, a o kona welau, aia ma ke kai.
10 Eningizimu ilizwe lalingelika-Efrayimi, enyakatho lingelikaManase. Ilizwe likaManase lalifika olwandle njalo lingcelezelane lo-Asheri enyakatho kanye lo-Isakhari empumalanga.
No Eperaima ko ka hema, a no Manase ko ka akau, a o ke kai kona aoao; a ua hui pu ia laua maloko o ko Asera ma ka akau, a iloko o Isakara ma ka hikina.
11 Phakathi kuka-Isakhari lo-Asheri uManase wayeloBhethi-Shani, u-Ibhiliyami labantu beDori, abe-Endo, abeThanakhi leMegido, ndawonye lemizana ababakhelane layo (owesithathu eluhlwini kwakunguNafothi).
Ua loaa ia Manase ma Isakara a me Asera Beteseana a me kona mau kauhale, o Ibeleama a me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Dora me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Enedora, a me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Taanaka me kona mau kauhale, a me ko Megido me kona mau kauhale; ekolu no aina.
12 Kodwa-ke abakoManase kabenelisanga ukuthatha amadolobho la ngoba amaKhenani ayezimisele ukuhlala kuleyondawo.
Aole nae e hiki i ka poe mamo a Manase ke kipaku aku i ko keia mau kulanakauhale; ua noho no ka poe Kanaana ma ia aina.
13 Lanxa kunjalo, kwathi abako-Israyeli sebelamandla amakhulu, benza amaKhenani izigqili zabo kodwa kababaxotshanga kokuphela.
Aka, i ka lilo ana o ka poe mamo a Iseraela i poe ikaika, ua hoolilo lakou i ko Kanaana i poe hookupu na lakou; aole nae i kipaku loa aku ia lakou.
14 Abantu bakoJosefa bathi kuJoshuwa, “Kungani lisinike isabelo esisodwa kuphela lengxenye eyodwa yelifa na? Singabantu abanengi kakhulu njalo uThixo usibusise kakhulu.”
Olelo aku la na mamo a Iosepa ia Iosua, i aku, No ke aha la i haawi mai oe ia'u i hookahi wale no puu, a i hookahi ainahooili? He lahui nui no au, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova ia'u a hiki ia nei.
15 UJoshuwa wabaphendula wathi; “Nxa libanengi kakhulu, njalo nxa ilizwe lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi lilincinyane kini, ngenani eguswini liyecenta umhlaba ube ngowenu elizweni lamaPherizi lelamaRefayi.”
I mai la o Iosua ia lakou, Ina he lahui nui oe, e pii oe nou iho i ka ululaau, a e kua iho nou malaila ma ka aina o ko Pereza, a me ka poe Repaima, ke noho pilikia oe ma ka mauna o Eperaima.
16 Abantu bakoJosefa baphendula bathi, “Ilizwe lamaqaqa kaliseneli njalo amaKhenani wonke ahlala emagcekeni alezinqola zensimbi, bonke abaseBhethi-Shani lemizana yakhona lalabo ababehlala esigodini seJezerili.”
I aku la ka poe mamo a Iosepa, Aole i lawa ka mauna no makou, a aia no na kaa hao i ko Kanaana, i ka poe e noho ana i ka aina awawa, i ko Beteseana a me na kulanakauhale ona, a ia lakou no hoi e noho la ma ke awawa o Iezereela.
17 Kodwa uJoshuwa wakhuluma labendlu kaJosefa, ku-Efrayimi loManase wathi, “Libanengi njalo lilamandla amakhulu kakhulu. Kalisoze libe lesabelo esisodwa kuphela,
I mai la o Iosua i ko ka hale o Iosepa, ia Eperaima, a me Manase, i mai la, He lahui nui oe, a ikaika loa hoi, aole ia oe ka puu hookahi wale no.
18 kodwa lelizwe lamaqaqa aliligusu. Licenteni lize liyefika lapho eliphelela khona kube ngelenu; lanxa amaKhenani elezinqola zensimbi njalo lanxa elamandla, lingawaxotsha.”
Aka, ia oe no hoi ka mauna; no ka mea, he ululaau no ia, a nau no e kua ilalo; a ia oe kona mau mokuna; no ka mea, e kipaku aku oe i ko Kanaana poe, i ka poe nona na kaa hao, a nona hoi ka ikaika.
