< यहोशू 17 >
1 यो मनश्शेको (जो योसेफका जेठा छोरा थिए) कुलको भूमिको भाग थियो, माकीरका निम्ति, जो जेठा छोरा थिए र तिनी गिलादका पिता थिए । माकीरका सन्तानहरूलाई गिलाद र बाशानको भू-भाग दिइयो, किनभने माकीर योद्धा थिए ।
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 यो भू-भागलाई मनश्शेका बाँकी कुल अबीएजेर, हेलेक, अस्रीएल, शकेम, हेपेर, शमीदालाई तिनीहरूका कुलअनुसार दिइयो ।
So it was for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida. These were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
3 मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरका छोरा गिलादला छोरा हेपेरका छोरा सलोफादको कुनै छोरा थिएन, तर छोरीहरू मात्र थिए । तिनकी छोरीहरूका नाउँ महला, नोआह, होग्ला, मिल्का र तिर्सा थिए ।
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 तिनीहरू पुजारी एलाजार, यहोशू र अगुवाहरूकहाँ आए र भने, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार दिनू भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो ।” त्यसैले, परमप्रभुको आज्ञाअनुसार, तिनले ती महिलाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका बुबाका दाजुभाइहरूमाझ उत्तराधिकार दिए ।
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers. Therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 गिलाद र बाशानमा मनश्शेलाई दस भाग जमिन दिइयो, जुन यर्दन पारिपट्टि छ,
And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,
6 किनभने मनश्शेका छोरीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार पाए । गिलादको भू-भाग मनश्शेका बाँकी कुललाई दिइयो ।
because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
7 मनश्शेको क्षेत्र आसेरबाट मिक्मतातसम्म पुग्यो, जुन शकेमको पूर्वमा छ । त्यसको सिमाना तप्पूहको पानीको मुहान नजिक बसोबास गर्नेहरूकहाँसम्म दक्षिणतिर निस्क्यो ।
And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. And the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 (तप्पूहको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो, तर मनश्शेको सिमानामा पर्ने तप्पूहको नगर एफ्राइम कुलको थियो ।)
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.
9 त्यो सिमाना कनाको खोलासम्मै तल गएर निस्क्यो । मनश्शेका नगरहरू माझका खोलाको दक्षिणतिरका यी सहरहरू एफ्राइमका थिए । मनश्शेको सिमाना खोलाको उत्तरतिर थियो र यो समुद्रमा टुङ्गिएको थियो ।
And the border went down to 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 of it were at the sea.
10 दक्षिणतिरको भू-भाग एफ्राइमको थियो, र उत्तरतिरको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो; यसको सिमाना समुद्र थियो । उत्तरतिर आशेरसम्म र पूर्वतिर इस्साखारसम्म पुगेको थियो ।
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 इस्साखार र आशेरमा पनि मनश्शेले बेथ-शान र यसका गाउँहरू, योबलाम र यसका गाउँहरू, डोरका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू, एन्दोर र यसका गाउँहरू, तानाका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू, मगिद्दोका बासिन्दाहरू र यसका गाउँहरू (र तेस्रो सहरचाहिँ नपेत हो) ।
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.
12 तैपनि मनश्शेको कुलले ती सहरहरू अधिकार गर्न सकेनन्, किनभने यस भू-भागमा कनानीहरू निरन्तर बस्दै रहे ।
Yet the sons of Manasseh could not drive out those cities, but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू वृद्धि भए, तिनीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई बेगारी काममा लगाए, तर तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा धपाएनन् ।
And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to task work, and did not utterly drive them out.
14 त्यसपछि योसेफका सन्तानहरूले यहोशूलाई यसो भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई किन जमिन एक भाग र उत्तराधिकारको निम्ति एक अंश मात्र दिनुभएको, किनभने हामी धेरै सङ्ख्यामा भएका मानिसहरू हौँ र परमप्रभुले हामीलाई पर्याप्त आशिष् दिनुभएको छ?”
And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, inasmuch as until now Jehovah has blessed me?
15 यहोशूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यदि तिमीहरू धेरै सङ्ख्यामा छौ भने, तिमीहरू जङ्गलतिर जाओ र परिज्जीहरू र रपाईहरूको भू-भागमा आफ्नो निम्ति फँडानी गर । यसो गर, किनभने एफ्राइमको पहाडी देश तिमीहरूको निम्ति साह्रै सानो छ ।”
And Joshua said to 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 योसेफका सन्तानहरूले भने, “पहाडी देश हामीलाई पर्याप्त हुँदैन । तर बेथ-शान र यसका गाउँहरू अनि यिजरेलको बेँसी दुवैमा बस्ने कनानीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू छन् ।
And the sons of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.
17 त्यपछि यहोशूले योसेफका घराना एफ्राइम र मनश्शेलाई भने, “तिमीहरू धेरै सङ्ख्यामा भएका मानिसहरू हौ र तिमीहरूसँग धेरै शक्ति छ । तिमीहरूसँग एक भाग मात्र हुनुहुँदैन ।
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou are a great people, and have great power. Thou shall not have only one lot,
18 पहाडी देश पनि तिमीहरूको नै हुने छ । तथापि यो जङ्गल हो, तिमीहरूले यसलाई फँडानी गर र यसलाई र यसका टाढा-टाढाको सिमानासम्म अधीन गर । तिमीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई धपाउने छौ, तथापि तिनीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू छन् र तिनीहरू बलिया छन् ।”
but the hill-country shall be thine, for though it is a forest, thou shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be thine. For thou shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
