< 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 then came the lot for the tribe of Menasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph: to wit, for Machir the first-born of Menasseh, the father of Gil'ad; because he was a man of war, therefore he obtained Gil'ad and Bashan.
2 यो भू-भागलाई मनश्शेका बाँकी कुल अबीएजेर, हेलेक, अस्रीएल, शकेम, हेपेर, शमीदालाई तिनीहरूका कुलअनुसार दिइयो ।
There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Menasseh after their families; for the children of Abi'ezer, and for the children of Chelek, and for the children of Assriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Chepher, and for the children of Shemida': these were the male children of Menasseh the son of Joseph after 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 Zelophchad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, and No'ah, Choglah, 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 Elazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give unto us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them, according to the order of the Lord, 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 of Menasseh, beside the lands of Gil'ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan;
6 किनभने मनश्शेका छोरीहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूसँगै उत्तराधिकार पाए । गिलादको भू-भाग मनश्शेका बाँकी कुललाई दिइयो ।
Because the daughters of Menasseh obtained an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gil'ad 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 boundary of Menasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of 'En-tappuach.
8 (तप्पूहको भू-भाग मनश्शेको थियो, तर मनश्शेको सिमानामा पर्ने तप्पूहको नगर एफ्राइम कुलको थियो ।)
To Menasseh belonged the land of Tappuach; but Tappuach on the borders of Menasseh 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 boundary descended unto the brook Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities belonging to Ephraim are in the midst of the cities of Menasseh; and the boundary of Menasseh was on the north side of the river, and its terminations were toward 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 Menasseh's, and the sea was [there] his boundary; and on Asher they touched on the north, and on 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 to Menasseh belonged in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Yible'am and its towns, together with the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of 'En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ta'anach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, namely the three districts.
12 तैपनि मनश्शेको कुलले ती सहरहरू अधिकार गर्न सकेनन्, किनभने यस भू-भागमा कनानीहरू निरन्तर बस्दै रहे ।
Yet the children of Menasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities; but the Canaanites succeeded to dwell in this land;
13 जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू वृद्धि भए, तिनीहरूले कनानीहरूलाई बेगारी काममा लगाए, तर तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा धपाएनन् ।
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were become strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but they did not 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 children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, seeing I am a numerous people, to which extent the Lord hath hitherto 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 unto them, If thou art a numerous people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down [a space] for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, if the mountain of Ephraim be 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 mountain will not be enough for us; and chariots of iron are belonging to all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, to those who are at Beth-shean and its towns, and to those who are in the valley of Yizre'el.
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 said unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Menasseh, as followeth, Thou art a numerous 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 mountain shall be thine; it is indeed a wood, yet thou canst cut it down; and the terminations of it shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, though they be strong.
