Yashuuca 17
1 Oo intanuna waxay ahayd qaybtii qabiilka reer Manaseh, waayo, isagu wuxuu ahaa curadkii Yuusuf. Maakiir oo ahaa curadkii Manaseh oo aabbe u ahaa Gilecaad, wuxuu helay Gilecaad iyo Baashaan, maxaa yeelay, isagu wuxuu ahaa dagaalyahan.
[This is a list of] the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh’s oldest son was Makir and his grandson was Gilead. Makir’s descendants were great warriors, so the lands in the Gilead and Bashan regions were allotted to their clan.
2 Oo reer Manaseh iyo reerahoodii intii hadhay iyana qayb bay heleen; kuwaas oo ahaa reer Abiiceser, iyo reer Xeeleq, iyo reer Asrii'eel, iyo reer Shekem, iyo reer Heefer, iyo reer Shemiidaac; intaasu waxay ahaayeen ilmihii labka ahaa ee Manaseh ina Yuusuf sidii reerahoodii ahaayeen.
Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
3 Laakiinse Seloofexaad ina Heefer, ina Gilecaad, ina Maakiir, ina Manaseh wiilal ma uu lahayn gabdho mooyaane, oo magacyadii gabdhihiisu waa kuwan: Maxlaah, Nocaah, Xoglaah, Milkaah, iyo Tirsaah.
Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Oo waxay u dhowaadeen wadaadkii la odhan jiray Elecaasaar, iyo Yashuuca ina Nuun, iyo amiirradii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku amray inuu walaalahayo dhexdooda dhaxal naga siiyo. Oo sidaas daraaddeed amarkii Rabbiga aawadiis ayuu Yashuuca dhaxal ku siiyey walaalihii aabbahood dhexdooda.
They went to Eleazar the Supreme Priest, and to Joshua and to the other Israeli leaders. They said, “[We want you to give us some land, because] Yahweh told Moses that he should give to us some land, just like you gave to the men.” So Eleazar did what Yahweh had commanded, and he allotted to them some land, just like he allotted to their uncles.
5 Oo reer Manaseh waxaa ku soo hagaagay toban meelood oo aan ahayn dalkii Gilecaad iyo Baashaan oo Webi Urdun ka shishaysa;
So the tribe of Manasseh eventually had ten sections [of land west of the Jordan River] and [two sections, ] Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
6 maxaa yeelay, gabdhihii Manaseh waxay dhaxal ka dhex heleen wiilashiisii; oo dalkii Gilecaadna waxaa lahaa wiilashii Manaseh intoodii hadhay.
So those female descendants of Manasseh also were allotted land [on the west side of the river] just like the men were allotted. The other parts of the Gilead area were allotted to the male descendants of Manasseh.
7 Oo soohdintii reer Manasehna waxay ahayd ilaa Aasheer iyo tan iyo Mikmetaah, taasoo ku hor taal Shekem, oo soohdintu waxay ka baxday xagga midigta, iyo ilaa dadkii degganaa Ceyn Tafuu'ax.
The land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was between the land where the tribe of Asher lives and Michmethath [town], near Shechem [city]. The border extended south to the Tappuah Spring.
8 Oo dalkii Tafuu'axna waxaa iska lahaa reer Manaseh; laakiinse Tafuu'ax tii ku tiil soohdinta waxaa iska lahaa reer Efrayim.
The land near the Tappuah area belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was at the border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
9 Oo soohdintu waxay u baxday durdurkii Qaanaah, oo durdurka xagga koonfureed ka ahaa. Magaalooyinkaas ku dhex yiil magaalooyinkii reer Manaseh waxaa lahaa reer Efrayim. Soohdintii Efrayimna waxay ahayd durdurka xaggiisa woqooyi, oo waxaa soohdintii dhammaadkeedu ahaa badda.
The border [of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh] extended south to Kanah Gorge. From there it extended [west] along the north side of the gorge and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
10 Dhanka koonfureed waxaa lahaa reer Efrayim, dhanka woqooyina waxaa lahaa reer Manaseh, oo badduna waxay ahayd soohdintiisa, oo waxay gaadheen ilaa reer Aasheer oo woqooyi jira, iyo tan iyo reer Isaakaar oo ku yaal xagga bari.
The land on the south side of the gorge belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and the land on the north side belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. The western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was the [Mediterranean] Sea. To the north, the border of their land extended from the land allotted to the tribe of Asher [at the northwest] to the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar [at the northeast.]
11 Oo reer Manaseh waxay reer Isaakaar iyo reer Aasheer ku dhex lahaayeen Beytshe'aan, iyo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhan, iyo Yiblecaam iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo dadkii degganaa Door iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo dadkii degganaa Ceyn Door iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo dadkii degganaa Tacanaag, iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo dadkii degganaa Megiddoo iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo xataa saddexdii meelood ee dhaadheerayd.
But there are cities inside the area allotted to the tribes of Issachar and Asher. Those cities, along with their surrounding villages, were allotted to people from the tribe of Manasseh. These cities are Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Dor (which is also named Naphoth-Dor, ) Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.
12 Laakiin reer Manaseh ma ay eryi karin dadkii degganaa magaalooyinkaas; reer Kancaanse waxay doonayeen inay dalkaas sii degganaadaan.
The men of the tribe of Manasseh were not able to force the people who lived in those cities to leave, so the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live in those cities.
13 Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil aad u xoogaysteen ayay hawl saareen reer Kancaan, oo ma ay wada eryin.
But [years later] when the Israelis became better [warriors], they forced the Canaan people-group to work for them as slaves, although they did not force them to leave the land.
14 Oo reerkii Yuusuf Yashuuca bay la hadleen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Maxaad qayb keliya dhaxal noogu siisay? Maxaa yeelay, annagu waxaannu nahay dad badan, oo Rabbigu waa na barakeeyey ilaa haatan.
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh said to Joshua, “You allotted to us only one area of land, but there are a lot of us. Yahweh has blessed us very much [with the result that our tribe has grown very large]. So why did you give us only a small part of the land [RHQ]?”
15 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Haddaad dad badan tihiin, haddaba kaca oo duudda taga, oo waxaad soo goosataan dalka reer Feris iyo kan reer Rafaa; maxaa yeelay, dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim waa idinku cidhiidhi.
Joshua replied to them, “[I agree that] you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to [cut down the trees] in the forest [and] make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.”
16 Markaasaa reerkii Yuusuf waxay yidhaahdeen, Dalka buuraha lahu naguma filna; oo reer Kancaanka deggan dalka dooxada leh oo dhammu waxay leeyihiin gaadhifardood bir ah, kuwooda deggan Beytshe'aan iyo magaalooyinkeeda, iyo kuwooda deggan dooxadii Yesreceelba.
The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh replied, “It is true that the land in the hilly area is not big enough for us, but the Canaan people-group who live in the lowlands, in Beth-Shan and the surrounding villages in that area, and in the Jezreel Valley, have iron chariots, [so we will not be able to defeat them]!”
17 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu la hadlay reer Yuusuf, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Efrayim iyo reer Manaseh, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Idinku waxaad tihiin dad badan, oo waxaad leedihiin xoog badan; haddaba qayb keliya heli maysaan;
Joshua replied to them, “Your tribe is very numerous and very powerful. So I will allot more land for you in the hilly area,
18 laakiinse dalka buuraha leh idinkaa yeelan doona; waayo, in kastoo uu duud yahay, waad jari doontaan, oo meelaha laga baxona idinkaa yeelan doona, maxaa yeelay, waxaad eryi doontaan reer Kancaan in kastay leeyihiin gaadhifardood bir ah, oo ay xoog badan yihiin.
but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. [It is true that] the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.”
