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.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had 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.
There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by 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 [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. (Abiezer: also called, Jeezer)
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.
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 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 came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, YHWH commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of YHWH he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Minaaseen Giliʼaadii fi Baashaan keessaa gama baʼa Yordaanositti lafa iddoo kudhanitti hiramu qaba ture.
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;
6 Kunis sababii intallan gosa Minaasee sun ilmaan dhiiraa gidduutti qooda argataniif. Lafti Giliʼaad ilmaan Minaasee kanneen hafaniif kennamte.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
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 coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
8 Biyyi Tafuuʼaa kan Minaasee turte; Tafuuʼaan mataan ishee garuu karaa daangaa Minaaseetiin kan ilmaan Efreem turte.
[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children 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 coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: (river Kanah: or, brook of reeds)
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.
Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on 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 Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.
12 Taʼus sababii Kanaʼaanonni biyya sana jiraachuuf kutatanii turaniif gosti Minaasee magaalaawwan kanneen qabachuu hin dandeenye.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Garuu Israaʼeloonni yommuu jabina argachaa dhufanitti akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan godhan malee Kanaʼaanota achii hin baafne.
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
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 children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as YHWH hath blessed me hitherto?
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 answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. (giants: or, Rephaims)
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 children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
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 spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:
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.”
But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.
