Josué 17

1 Também caiu a sorte à tribo de Manasseh, porquanto era o primogênito de José, a saber: Machir, o primogênito de Manasseh, pai de Gilead, porquanto era homem de guerra, teve a Gilead e Basan.

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 Também os mais filhos de Manasseh tiveram sorte, segundo as suas famílias, a saber: os filhos de Abiezer, e os filhos de Helek, e os filhos de Asriel, e os filhos de Sechem, e os filhos de Hepher, e os filhos de Semida: estes são os filhos machos de Manasseh, filho de José, segundo as suas famílias.

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 Selofad, porém, filho de Hepher, o filho de Gilead, filho de Machir, o filho de Manasseh, não teve filhos, mas só filhas: e estes são os nomes de suas filhas: Machla, Noa, Hogla, Milka e Tirsa.

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 Estas, pois, chegaram diante de Eleazar, o sacerdote, e diante de Josué, filho de Nun, e diante dos príncipes, dizendo: O Senhor ordenou a Moisés que se nos desse herança no meio de nossos irmãos: pelo que, conforme ao dito do Senhor, lhes deu herança no meio dos irmãos de seu pai.

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 E cairam a Manasseh dez quinhões, a fora a terra de Gilead, e Basan que está de além do Jordão:

And by lot, there fell ten portions to Manasseh, aside from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan.

6 Porque as filhas de Manasseh no meio de seus filhos possuiram herança: e a terra de Gilead tiveram os outros filhos de Manasseh.

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 E o termo de Manasseh foi desde Aser até Mikmetath, que está diante de Sechem: e vai este termo à mão direita, até aos moradores de En-Tappuah.

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 Tinha Manasseh a terra de Tappuah: porém a Tappuah, no termo de Manasseh, tinham os filhos de Ephraim.

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 Então desce este termo ao ribeiro de Cana, para o sul do ribeiro: de Ephraim são estas cidades no meio das cidades de Manasseh: e o termo de Manasseh está ao norte do ribeiro, sendo as suas saídas no mar.

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 Ephraim ao sul, e Manasseh ao norte, e o mar é o seu termo: pelo norte tocam em Aser, e pelo oriente em Issacar.

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 Porque em Issacar e em Aser tinha Manasseh a Beth-sean e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e Ibleam e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e os habitantes de Dor e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e os habitantes de En-Dor e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e os habitantes de Thaanak e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e os habitantes de Megiddo e os lugares da sua jurisdição: três comarcas.

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 E os filhos de Manasseh não puderam expelir os habitantes daquelas cidades: porquanto os cananeus queriam habitar na mesma terra.

The sons of Manasseh were not able to overthrow these cities, and so the Canaanite began to dwell in their land.

13 E sucedeu que, engrossando em forças os filhos de Israel, fizeram tributários aos cananeus; porém não os expeliram de todo.

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 Então os filhos de José falaram a Josué, dizendo: Porque me deste por herança só uma sorte e um quinhão, sendo eu um tão grande povo, visto que o Senhor até aqui me tem abençoado?

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 E disse-lhes Josué: Se tão grande povo és, sobe ao bosque, e corta para ti ali lugar na terra dos phereseus e dos rephains: pois que as montanhas de Ephraim te são tão estreitas.

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 Então disseram os filhos de José: As montanhas nos não bastariam: também carros ferrados há entre todos os cananeus que habitam na terra do vale, entre os de Beth-sean e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e entre os que estão no vale de Jezreel.

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 Então Josué falou à casa de José, a Ephraim e a Manasseh, dizendo: Grande povo és, e grande força tens; uma só sorte não terás;

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 Porém as montanhas serão tuas: e, pois que bosque é, corta-o, e as suas saídas serão tuas: porque expelirás os cananeus, ainda que tenham carros ferrados, ainda que sejam fortes.

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.”
