Iyyaasuu 17
1 Gosti Minaasees qooda argatte; inni ilma Yoosef hangafa tureetii. Maakiir ilmi Minaasee hangaftichi abbaan Giliʼaadotaa sun sababii loltuu jabaa taʼeef Giliʼaadii fi Baashaan isaaf kennaman.
Now this lot fell to the tribe of Manasseh, since he is the firstborn of Joseph: to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, who was a fighting man, and he had as a possession Gilead and Bashan;
2 Kanaafuu qoodni kun saba Minaasee warra hafaniif jechuunis balbala Abiiʼezer, Heleq, Asriiʼeel, Sheekem, Heeferii fi Shemiidaaf kenname. Kunneenis balbala balbala isaaniitiin ilmaan Minaasee ilma Yoosef kanneen biraa ti.
and to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, according to their families: to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida. These are the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, by their families.
3 Zelofehaad ilmi Heefer, ilmi Giliʼaad, ilma Maakiir, ilmi Minaasee sun intallan malee ilmaan hin qabu ture. Maqaan intallan isaas Mahilaa, Nohii, Hoglaa, Miilkaa fi Tiirzaa.
Yet truly, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, whose names are these: Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
4 Isaanis gara Eleʼaazaar lubichaa, gara Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitii fi gara hooggantootaa dhaqanii “Waaqayyo akka inni obboloota keenya gidduutti dhaala nuu kennuuf Musee ajajeera” jedhan. Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun akkuma ajaja Waaqayyootti obboloota abbaa isaanii wajjin dhaala kenneef.
And they went before the sight of Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying: “The Lord instructed by the hand of Moses that a possession ought to be given to us, in the midst of our brothers.” And so, he gave to them, in accord with the order of the Lord, a possession in the midst of the brothers of their father.
5 Minaaseen Giliʼaadii fi Baashaan keessaa gama baʼa Yordaanositti lafa iddoo kudhanitti hiramu qaba ture.
And by lot, there fell ten portions to Manasseh, aside from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan.
6 Kunis sababii intallan gosa Minaasee sun ilmaan dhiiraa gidduutti qooda argataniif. Lafti Giliʼaad ilmaan Minaasee kanneen hafaniif kennamte.
And so the daughters of Manasseh possessed an inheritance in the midst of his sons. But the land of Gilead fell by lot to the sons of Manasseh that were left.
7 Daangaan gosa Minaasee Aasheerii kaʼee hamma Mikmetaati kan karaa baʼa Sheekem jirtu sanaatti balʼata. Daangaan sunis achii kaʼee kibbaan gad buʼee saba Een Tafuuʼaa keessa jiraatus dabalata.
And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which looks out toward Shechem. And it goes out, to the right, beside the inhabitants of the Fountain of Tappuah.
8 Biyyi Tafuuʼaa kan Minaasee turte; Tafuuʼaan mataan ishee garuu karaa daangaa Minaaseetiin kan ilmaan Efreem turte.
For by lot, there also fell to Manasseh the land of Tappuah, which is beside the borders of Manasseh, and which belongs to the sons of Ephraim.
9 Daangaan sun karaa kibbaatiin ittuma fufee Laga Qaanaa bira gaʼa. Magaalaawwan Efreem kanneen magaalaawwan Minaasee gidduutti argamanitu ture; daangaan Minaasee garuu Kaaba lagichaa irra darbee galaana bira gaʼee dhaabata.
And the border descends to the Valley of Reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is to the north of the torrent, and its exit extends to the sea.
10 Biyyi sun karaa kibbaatiin kan gosa Efreemiiti; karaa kaabaatiin immoo kan gosa Minaasee ti. Biyyi Minaasee hamma galaanaatti deemee karaa kaabaatiin Aasheerin, karaa baʼaatiin immoo Yisaakorin daangeessa.
So it is that the possession of Ephraim is in the south, and that of Manasseh is in the north, and both are enclosed by the sea, and they are joined together by the tribe of Asher to the north, and by the tribe of Issachar to the east.
11 Minaaseenis Yisaakorii fi Aasheer keessaa Beet Sheʼaan, Yibleʼaamii fi saba Door, Eendoor, Taʼanaakii fi Megidoo qubatawwan naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin qaba ture; sadaffaan immoo Naafootii dha.
And the inheritance of Manasseh, in Issachar and in Asher, was Bethshean and its villages, and Ibleam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with their towns, likewise the inhabitants of Endor with their villages, and similarly the inhabitants of Taanach with their villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with their villages, and one third part of the city of Naphath.
12 Taʼus sababii Kanaʼaanonni biyya sana jiraachuuf kutatanii turaniif gosti Minaasee magaalaawwan kanneen qabachuu hin dandeenye.
The sons of Manasseh were not able to overthrow these cities, and so the Canaanite began to dwell in their land.
13 Garuu Israaʼeloonni yommuu jabina argachaa dhufanitti akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan godhan malee Kanaʼaanota achii hin baafne.
But after the sons of Israel had grown strong, they subdued the Canaanites, and made them their tributaries, but they did not kill them.
14 Namoonni Yoosefis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Ati maaliif ixaa tokkoo fi qooda tokko qofa dhaala nuu kennite? Nu saba akka malee baayʼee fi saba Waaqayyo guddisee eebbisee dha” jedhan.
And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, and they said, “Why have you given to me as a possession one lot and one portion, while I am of such a great multitude, and the Lord has blessed me?”
15 Iyyaasuunis, “Yoo isin akka malee baayʼattanii biyyi gaaraa Efreem kun isinitti dhiphatte bosona seenaatii biyya Feerzotaatii fi Refaayimootaa keessatti iddoo jireenyaa qopheeffadhaa” jedhee deebiseef.
And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up into the forest, and cut out space for yourself in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
16 Namoonni Yoosefis, “Biyyi gaaraa kun nu hin gaʼu; Kanaʼaanonni lafa diriiraa irra jiraatan hundi, warri Beet Sheʼaanii fi qubatawwan ishee akkasumas warri Sulula Yizriʼeel keessa jiraatan hundi gaariiwwan sibiilaa qaban” jedhanii deebisan.
And the sons of Joseph responded to him: “We are not able to ascend to the mountains, since the Canaanites, who live in the plains, in which are situated Bethshean, with its villages, and Jezreel, possessing the middle of the valley, use chariots of iron.”
17 Iyyaasuun garuu mana Yoosefiin jechuunis Efreemii fi Minaaseedhaan akkana jedhe; “Isin saba akka malee baayʼee kan humna guddaa qabuu dha. Ixaa tokko qofa hin qabaattan.
And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh: “You are a numerous people, and you have great strength. You shall not have only one lot.
18 Biyya gaaraa kan bosonaa garuu ni qabaattu; bosona ciraa; biyyattiinis hamma qarqara daangaa isheetti kanuma keessan taati; Kanaʼaanonni yoo gaariiwwan sibiilaa qabaatanii jajjaboo taʼanis isin ariitanii isaan baasuu dandeessu.”
Instead, you shall cross to the mountain, and you shall cut down and clear out for yourselves space in which to live. And you shall be able to advance further, when you will have destroyed the Canaanite, who, as you say, has iron chariots and is very strong.”
