< 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 the lot came to the tribe of Manasseh (for he was the firstborn of Joseph), to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war, and he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 यो भू-भागलाई मनश्शेका बाँकी कुल अबीएजेर, हेलेक, अस्रीएल, शकेम, हेपेर, शमीदालाई तिनीहरूका कुलअनुसार दिइयो ।
There was also [a portion] for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these are the children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, 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 ।
And 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 princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of Jehovah an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 गिलाद र बाशानमा मनश्शेलाई दस भाग जमिन दिइयो, जुन यर्दन पारिपट्टि छ,
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan.
6 किनभने मनश्शेका छोरीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार पाए । गिलादको भू-भाग मनश्शेका बाँकी कुललाई दिइयो ।
For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 मनश्शेको क्षेत्र आसेरबाट मिक्मतातसम्म पुग्यो, जुन शकेमको पूर्वमा छ । त्यसको सिमाना तप्पूहको पानीको मुहान नजिक बसोबास गर्नेहरूकहाँसम्म दक्षिणतिर निस्क्यो ।
And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is before Shechem, and the border went on the right hand toward the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.
8 (तप्पूहको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो, तर मनश्शेको सिमानामा पर्ने तप्पूहको नगर एफ्राइम कुलको थियो ।)
Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children 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 descended to the torrent Kanah, south of the torrent. These cities were Ephraim's among the cities of Manasseh. And the territory of Manasseh was on the north side of the torrent, and ended 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 touched upon Asher on the north, and upon 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 dependent villages, and Ibleam and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages, the three hilly regions.
12 तैपनि मनश्शेको कुलले ती सहरहरू अधिकार गर्न सकेनन्, किनभने यस भू-भागमा कनानीहरू निरन्तर बस्दै रहे ।
But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess [the inhabitants of] those cities; and 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 children of Israel were become strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
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 children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me as inheritance one lot and one portion, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed me hitherto?
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 unto them, If thou art a great people, then get thee up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if 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 children of Joseph said, The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and those that are in the valley of Jizreel.
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, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only,
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, as it is a wood, thou shalt cut it down, and its outgoings shall be thine; for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots; for they are powerful.
