Yoshua 17

1 Huu ndio mgawo wa kabila la Manase kama mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Yosefu, yaani kwa ajili ya Makiri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Manase. Makiri alikuwa baba wa Wagileadi, ambao walipokea Gileadi na Bashani kwa sababu Wamakiri walikuwa askari wakuu.

Forsothe lot felde in to the lynage of Manasse, for he is the firste gendrid sone of Joseph; lot felde to Machir, the firste gendrid sone of Manasses, to the fadir of Galaad, that was a werriour, and he hadde possessioun Galaad and Basan.

2 Kwa hiyo mgawo huu ulikuwa kwa ajili ya watu wa Manase waliokuwa wamebaki, ambao ni koo za Abiezeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Shekemu, Heferi na Shemida. Hawa ndio wanaume wale wengine wa uzao wa Manase mwana wa Yosefu kwa koo zao.

And lot felde to the othere of the sones of Manasses, bi her meynees; to the sones of Abiezer, and to the sones of Heleth, and to the sones of Hesriel, and to the sones of Sichen, and to the sones of Epher, and to the sones of Semyda; these ben the sones of Manasse, sone of Joseph, the male children, bi her meynees.

3 Basi Selofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Gileadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase hakuwa na wana waume ila mabinti tu, ambao majina yao yalikuwa Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tirsa.

Sotheli to Salphaat, the sone of Epher, sone of Galaad, sone of Machir, sone of Manasses, weren not sones, but douytris aloone; of whiche these ben the names, Maala, and Noa, and Eegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.

4 Wakamwendea kuhani Eleazari, Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na viongozi, wakasema: “Bwana alimwagiza Mose atupatie urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zetu.” Kwa hiyo Yoshua akawapa urithi pamoja na ndugu wa baba yao, kufuatana na agizo la Bwana.

And thei camen in the siyt of Eleazar, preest, and of Josue, sone of Nun, and of the princes, and seiden, The Lord comaundide bi the hond of Moises, that possessioun should be youun to vs in the myddis of oure britheren. And Josue yaf to hem possessioun, bi comaundement of the Lord, in the myddis of the britheren of her fadir.

5 Fungu la Manase lilikuwa na sehemu kumi za nchi, licha ya Gileadi na Bashani mashariki mwa Yordani,

And ten cordis, `that is, londis mesurid bi ten cordis, felden to Manasses, without the lond of Galaad and of Basan biyende Jordan;

6 kwa sababu wale binti za kabila la Manase walipokea urithi miongoni mwa wana wa kiume. Nchi ya Gileadi ilikuwa mali ya wazao wa Manase waliobaki.

for the douytris of Manasses weldiden eritage in the myddis of the sones of hym. Sotheli the lond of Galaad felde in to the part of the sones of Manasses, that weren residue.

7 Eneo la Manase lilienea kuanzia Asheri hadi Mikmeta mashariki mwa Shekemu. Mpaka ule ulielekea upande wa kusini kutoka pale kujumuisha watu walioishi En-Tapua.

And the terme of Manasses was fro Azer Machynathath, that biholdeth Sichem, and goith out to the riyt side, bisidis the dwelleris of the welle Taphue;

8 (Nchi ya Tapua ilikuwa mali ya Manase, lakini Tapua yenyewe iliyo mpakani mwa nchi ya Manase ilikuwa ya Waefraimu.)

for the lond of Thaphue, which is bisidis the terme of Manasses, and of the sones of Effraym, felde in the lot of Manasses.

9 Kisha mpaka ule uliendelea kuelekea kusini hadi Bonde la Kana. Kulikuwepo miji ya Efraimu iliyokuwa miongoni mwa miji ya Manase, lakini mpaka wa Manase ulikuwa upande wa kaskazini wa lile bonde na kuishia kwenye bahari.

And the terme of the valey of place of rehedis goith doun in the south of the stronde of the citees of Effraym, that ben in the myddis of the citees of Manasses. The terme of Manasses is fro the north of the stronde, and the goyng out therof goith to the see;

10 Nchi ya kusini ilikuwa ya Efraimu, na ile iliyokuwa upande wa kaskazini ilikuwa ya Manase. Eneo la Manase lilifika bahari na ikapakana na Asheri upande wa kaskazini, na Isakari upande wa mashariki.

so that the possessioun of Effraym is fro the south, and the possessioun of Manasses fro the north, and the see closith euer either; and tho ben ioyned to hem silf in the linage of Aser fro the north, and in the lynage of Isachar fro the eest.

11 Katika Isakari na Asheri Manase alikuwa na miji pia: Beth-Shani, Ibleamu na watu wa Dori, Endori, Taanaki na Megido, pamoja na vijiji vyote vinavyohusika na miji hiyo (ya tatu katika orodha ni Nafothi).

And the eritage of Manasses was in Isachar and in Aser, Bersan, and the townes therof, and Jeblaan, with hise townes, and the dwellers of Dor, with her citees; and the dwelleris of Endor, with her townes, and also the dwelleris of Thanath, with her townes, and the dwelleris of Maiedo, with her townes, and the thridde part of the citee Nophet.

12 Lakini Wamanase hawakuweza kuimiliki miji hii, kwa kuwa Wakanaani walikazana kuishi katika maeneo hayo.

And the sones of Manasses miyten not distrie these citees, but Cananei bigan to dwelle in this lond.

13 Hata hivyo, Waisraeli walivyoendelea kupata nguvu waliwatumikisha Wakanaani na kuwatia katika kazi za kulazimishwa, lakini hawakuwafukuza kabisa.

Sotheli aftir that the sones of Israel weren stronge, thei maden suget Cananeis, and maden tributaries to hem silf, and killiden not Cananeis.

14 Watu wa Yosefu wakamwambia Yoshua, “Kwa nini umetupa sisi mgawo mmoja tu na sehemu moja tu kuwa urithi? Sisi tu watu wengi sana, na Bwana ametubariki kwa wingi.”

And the sones of Joseph spaken to Josue, and seiden, Whi hast thou youe to me lond in to possessioun of o lot and part, sithen Y am of so greet multitude, and the Lord hath blesside me, `that is, hath alargid me in children?

15 Yoshua akajibu, “Kama ninyi ni wengi sana, na kama nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu ni ndogo sana kwenu, pandeni msituni mkafyeke eneo kwa ajili yenu wenyewe huko kwenye nchi ya Waperizi na Warefai.”

To whiche Josue seide, If thou art myche puple, stie thou into the wode, and kitte doun to thee spaces in the lond of Feresei, and of Raphaym, for the possessioun of the hil of Effraym is streiyt to thee.

16 Watu wa Yosefu wakajibu, “Hiyo nchi ya vilima haitutoshi, nao Wakanaani wote wanaoishi katika tambarare wanayo magari ya vita ya chuma, wote wa Beth-Shani na miji yake, na wale walio katika Bonde la Yezreeli.”

To whom the sones of Joseph answerden, We moun not stie to the hilli places, sithen Cananeis, that dwellen in the `lond of the feeld, vsen ironne charis; in which lond Bersan, with hise townes, and Jesrael, weldynge the myddil valey, ben set.

17 Lakini Yoshua akanena na nyumba ya Yosefu, yaani Efraimu na Manase: “Ninyi ni wengi sana na wenye nguvu sana. Hamtakuwa na mgawo mmoja tu,

And Josue seide to the hows of Joseph, and of Effraym, and of Manasses, Thou art myche puple, and of greet strengthe; thou schalt not haue o lot,

18 bali pia nchi hii ya kilima yenye msitu. Ifyekeni, nayo mipaka yake itakuwa yenu umbali mtakaoweza kufika. Ingawa Wakanaani wana magari ya chuma, nao wana nguvu, mwaweza kuwafukuza humo.”

but thou schalt passe to the hil, and thou schalt kitte doun to thee; and thou schalt clense spaces to dwelle. And thou schalt mow go forth ferthere, whanne thou hast distried Cananei, whom thou seist to haue irone charis, and to be moost strong.
