UJoshuwa 17
1 Kwasekusiba lenkatho yesizwe sakoManase, ngoba wayelizibulo likaJosefa, engekaMakiri izibulo likaManase uyise kaGileyadi; ngoba yena wayengumuntu wempi; ngakho waba leGileyadi leBashani.
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 Yayikhona njalo eyabaseleyo babantwana bakoManase ngokwensendo zabo, eyabantwana bakoAbiyezeri, leyabantwana bakoHeleki, leyabantwana bakoAsiriyeli, leyabantwana bakoShekema, leyabantwana bakoHeferi, leyabantwana bakoShemida. Laba ngabantwana besilisa bakaManase indodana kaJosefa ngokwensendo zabo.
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 Kodwa uZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi indodana kaGileyadi indodana kaMakiri indodana kaManase wayengelamadodana, kodwa amadodakazi. Lala ngamabizo amadodakazi akhe: OMahla loNowa, uHogila, uMilka loTiriza.
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 Asesondela phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kukaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni laphambi kweziphathamandla, esithi: INkosi yalaya uMozisi ukusinika ilifa phakathi kwabafowethu. Ngakho wawanika ngokomlayo weNkosi ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise.
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 Ngakho kwawela inkatho ezilitshumi kuManase, ngaphandle kwelizwe leGileyadi leBashani, elingaphetsheya kweJordani.
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 Ngoba amadodakazi kaManase adla ilifa phakathi kwamadodana akhe. Lelizwe leGileyadi laba ngelabaseleyo bamadodana akoManase.
mweyen itukyang acn sin mukul oayapa mutan natul Manasseh. Acn Gilead itukyang nu sin mwet lula nukewa in sruf lal Manasseh.
7 Umngcele wakoManase wasusukela eAsheri usiya eMikimethathi ephambi kweShekema; lomngcele waya ngakwesokunene kubahlali beEni-Tapuwa.
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 waba lelizwe leTapuwa, kodwa iTapuwa emngceleni kaManase yayingeyabantwana bakoEfrayimi.
Acn ma raunela siti Tappuah ma lal Manasseh, tusruktu siti se inge Tappuah ma oan fin masrol an, ma lun tulik natul Ephraim.
9 Lomngcele wehlela esifuleni iKana eningizimu kwesifula. Imizi le ngeyakoEfrayimi phakathi kwemizi yakoManase. Lomngcele wakoManase usenyakatho kwesifula, lokuphuma kwawo kuselwandle.
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 lalingelakoEfrayimi, lenyakatho lalingelakoManase, lolwandle lungumngcele wakhe. LeAsheri bahlangana enyakatho, leIsakari 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 Ngoba koIsakari loAsheri uManase wayeleBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo, leIbileyamu lemizana yayo, labahlali beDori lemizana yayo, labahlali beEni-Dori lemizana yayo, labahlali beThahanakhi lemizana yayo, labahlali beMegido lemizana yayo: Amadundulu amathathu.
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 abantwana bakoManase babengelakho ukuxotsha elifeni leyomizi, kodwa amaKhanani ayefuna ukuhlala kulelolizwe.
Tusruktu, mwet Manasseh elos koflana lusak mwet in siti ingo, oru mwet Canaan elos mutana we.
13 Kodwa kwathi lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli sebelamandla bawasebenzisa amaKhanani njengezibhalwa, kodwa kabawaxotshanga lokuwaxotsha elifeni.
Finne pacl se ma mwet Israel elos arulana kui, elos tiana luselosla, tusruktu elos sang orekma upa nu faclos.
14 Abantwana bakoJosefa basebekhuluma kuJoshuwa besithi: Unginikeleni inkatho eyodwa lesabelo esisodwa ukuba yilifa, kube kanti ngiyisizwe esikhulu, njengoba iNkosi ingibusisile kuze kube lapha?
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 wasesithi kubo: Uba uyisizwe esikhulu, wena yenyukela eguswini, uzicentele khona elizweni lamaPerizi leleziqhwaga, nxa intaba yakoEfrayimi iminyene kuwe.
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 Abantwana bakoJosefa basebesithi: Intaba kayisanelanga, njalo kulenqola zensimbi lamaKhanani wonke ahlala elizweni lesihotsha, lawaseBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo, lawasesigodini seJizereyeli.
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 UJoshuwa wasekhuluma kundlu kaJosefa, kuEfrayimi lakuManase esithi: Uyisizwe esikhulu, futhi ulamandla amakhulu; kawuyikuba lenkatho eyodwa,
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 intaba izakuba ngeyakho; ngoba iligusu, uzalicenta, lokuphuma kwalo kube ngokwakho, ngoba uzawaxotsha elifeni amaKhanani, lanxa elenqola zensimbi, lanxa elamandla.
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.”
