UJoshuwa 17
1 Lesi kwakuyisabelo sesizwana sikaManase njengezibulo likaJosefa. UMakhiri izibulo likaManase, ukhokho wamaGiliyadi, wathatha iGiliyadi leBhashani ngenxa yokuthi amaMakhire ayengamaqhawe amakhulu.
Sie ipin acn roto in Infacl Jordan tuh itukyang nu sin kutu sou in sruf lal Manasseh, su tulik se oemeet natul Joseph. Na Machir, papa tumal Gilead, el wen se oemeet natul Manasseh ac el mwet pwengpeng ke mweun se, pa sis acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan itukyang lal.
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.
Acn roto in Infacl Jordan itukyang nu sin sou lula lal Manasseh: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, ac Shemida. Pa inge mukul lula natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, ac elos sifen kais sie sou.
3 UZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi, indodana kaGiliyadi, indodana kaMakhiri indodana kaManase, wayengelamadodana kodwa wayelamadodakazi wodwa, amabizo awo kwakunguMahila, uNowa, uHogila, uMilikha loThiza.
Na Zelophehad, su ma natul Hepher, natul Gilead, natul Machir, natul Manasseh, wangin mukul natul — mutan mukena, ac inelos pa Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Tirzah.
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.
Elos som nu yorol Eleazar mwet tol, ac nu yorol Joshua wen natul Nun, ac nu yurin mwet kol ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses elan ase ipin acn lasr in oapana ke mukul wiasr inge eis acn lalos.” Na elos sang acn sin mutan inge, in oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
5 Isabelo sikaManase sasigoqela iziqinti ezilitshumi zomhlabathi emhlubulweni weGiliyadi leBhashani empumalanga yeJodani,
Pa inge sripa se sis tuh oasr pac ip singoul itukyang nu sin Manasseh in weang acn Gilead ac Bashan su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan,
6 ngenxa yokuthi amadodakazi esizwana sikaManase athola ilifa kanye labafowabo. IGiliyadi yayingeyezizukulwana zikaManase.
mweyen itukyang acn sin mukul oayapa mutan natul Manasseh. Acn Gilead itukyang nu sin mwet lula nukewa in sruf lal Manasseh.
7 Ilizwe likaManase lalisukela e-Asheri lisiya eMikhimethathi empumalanga kweShekhemu. Umngcele wawudabula usiya usiyagoqela abantu ababehlala e-Eni-Thaphuwa.
Facl sel Manasseh pa som Asher lac nwe sun acn Michmethath, kutulap in acn Shechem. Na masrol sac fahla eir lac nu ke acn lun mwet Entappuah.
8 (UManase wayelomhlaba elizweni leThaphuwa, kodwa iThaphuwa ngokwayo, emngceleni kaManase, yayingeyama-Efrayimi.)
Acn ma raunela siti Tappuah ma lal Manasseh, tusruktu siti se inge Tappuah ma oan fin masrol an, ma lun tulik natul Ephraim.
9 Umngcele waqhubeka eningizimu usiya oDongeni lweKhana. Kwakulamadolobho ka-Efrayimi ayakhelwe phakathi kwamadolobho kaManase, kodwa umngcele kaManase wawulicele langenyakatho lodonga njalo uphelela olwandle.
Na masrol an putati som nwe ke infacl srisrik Kanah. Siti nukewa ma oan eir in infacl srisrik soko ah ma lun tulik natul Ephraim, finne siti inge oan in facl lal Manasseh. Masrol lal Manasseh uh fahla epang sisken infacl srisrik soko ah nwe safla Meoa Mediterranean.
10 Eningizimu ilizwe lalingelika-Efrayimi, enyakatho lingelikaManase. Ilizwe likaManase lalifika olwandle njalo lingcelezelane lo-Asheri enyakatho kanye lo-Isakhari empumalanga.
Acn eir ma lal Ephraim, ac acn epang ma lal Manasseh, ac masrol lalos nu roto pa Meoa Mediterranean. Ac masrol nu roto epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Asher, ac masrol nu kuta epang ke acn lal Manasseh sun acn lal Issachar.
11 Phakathi kuka-Isakhari lo-Asheri uManase wayeloBhethi-Shani, u-Ibhiliyami labantu beDori, abe-Endo, abeThanakhi leMegido, ndawonye lemizana ababakhelane layo (owesithathu eluhlwini kwakunguNafothi).
Luin acn sel Issachar ac Asher, acn ekasr inge oan loac, tuh ma lal Manasseh: Beth Shan ac Ibleam ac inkul nukewa ma raunela, oayapa acn Dor (su oan sisken Meoa Mediterranean), Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, ac inkul nukewa ma raunela.
12 Kodwa-ke abakoManase kabenelisanga ukuthatha amadolobho la ngoba amaKhenani ayezimisele ukuhlala kuleyondawo.
Tusruktu, mwet Manasseh elos koflana lusak mwet in siti ingo, oru mwet Canaan elos mutana we.
13 Lanxa kunjalo, kwathi abako-Israyeli sebelamandla amakhulu, benza amaKhenani izigqili zabo kodwa kababaxotshanga kokuphela.
Finne pacl se ma mwet Israel elos arulana kui, elos tiana luselosla, tusruktu elos sang orekma upa nu faclos.
14 Abantu bakoJosefa bathi kuJoshuwa, “Kungani lisinike isabelo esisodwa kuphela lengxenye eyodwa yelifa na? Singabantu abanengi kakhulu njalo uThixo usibusise kakhulu.”
Na tulik natul Joseph fahk nu sel Joshua, “Efu kom ku ase ipin acn sefanna tuh in ma lasr? Kut arulana pus, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kut.”
15 UJoshuwa wabaphendula wathi; “Nxa libanengi kakhulu, njalo nxa ilizwe lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi lilincinyane kini, ngenani eguswini liyecenta umhlaba ube ngowenu elizweni lamaPherizi lelamaRefayi.”
Ac Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Kowos fin arulana pus, ac fineol Ephraim fin srikla nu suwos, na kowos utyak nu insak uh ac sifacna sakunla nu suwos kutu acn sin mwet Periz ac mwet Rephaim.”
16 Abantu bakoJosefa baphendula bathi, “Ilizwe lamaqaqa kaliseneli njalo amaKhenani wonke ahlala emagcekeni alezinqola zensimbi, bonke abaseBhethi-Shani lemizana yakhona lalabo ababehlala esigodini seJezerili.”
Ac elos topuk, “Facl sesr fineol uh tia fal nu sesr, tuh mwet Canaan su muta acn tupasrpasr uh oasr chariot osra natulos, kewana elos su muta Beth Shan ac elos su muta Infahlfal Jezreel ac acn nukewa ma raunela acn ingan.”
17 Kodwa uJoshuwa wakhuluma labendlu kaJosefa, ku-Efrayimi loManase wathi, “Libanengi njalo lilamandla amakhulu kakhulu. Kalisoze libe lesabelo esisodwa kuphela,
Joshua el fahk nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh Roto, “Pwaye kowos arulana pus ac ku. Fal in pus liki ipin acn se na lowos.
18 kodwa lelizwe lamaqaqa aliligusu. Licenteni lize liyefika lapho eliphelela khona kube ngelenu; lanxa amaKhenani elezinqola zensimbi njalo lanxa elamandla, lingawaxotsha.”
Fineol uh ma lowos. Finne acn ingan insak, kowos ac fah sakunla ac fah ma lowos nufon. Ac nu ke mwet Canaan an, kowos ac fah luselosla, elos finne mwet ku ac oasr chariot osra natulos.”
