يَشُوع 17

١ 1 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِسِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ بِكْرُ يُوسُفَ. لِمَاكِيرَ بِكْرِ مَنَسَّى أَبِي جِلْعَادَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلَ حَرْبٍ، وَكَانَتْ جِلْعَادُ وَبَاشَانُ لَهُ.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the first-born of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

٢ 2 وَكَانَتْ لِبَنِي مَنَسَّى ٱلْبَاقِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. لِبَنِي أَبِيعَزَرَ وَلِبَنِي حَالَقَ، وَلِبَنِي أَسْرِيئِيلَ، وَلِبَنِي شَكَمَ، وَلِبَنِي حَافَرَ، وَلِبَنِي شَمِيدَاعَ، هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، ٱلذُّكُورُ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

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.

٣ 3 وَأَمَّا صَلُفْحَادُ بْنُ حَافَرَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ بَلْ بَنَاتٌ. وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنَاتِهِ: مَحْلَةُ وَنُوعَةُ وَحُجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

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.

٤ 4 فَتَقَدَّمْنَ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَأَمَامَ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونَ وَأَمَامَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَقُلْنَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَرَ مُوسَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِنَا». فَأَعْطَاهُنَّ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَةِ أَبِيهِنَّ.

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

٥ 5 فَأَصَابَ مَنَسَّى عَشَرُ حِصَصٍ، مَا عَدَا أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side of Jordan;

٦ 6 لِأَنَّ بَنَاتِ مَنَسَّى أَخَذْنَ نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُ جِلْعَادَ لِبَنِي مَنَسَّى ٱلْبَاقِينَ.

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ تُخْمُ مَنَسَّى مِنْ أَشِيرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَكْمَتَةِ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ شَكِيمَ، وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ نَحْوَ ٱلْيَمِينِ إِلَى سُكَّانِ عَيْنِ تَفُّوحَ.

And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

٨ 8 كَانَ لِمَنَسَّى أَرْضُ تَفُّوحَ. وَأَمَّا تَفُّوحُ إِلَى تُخْمِ مَنَسَّى هِيَ لِبَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ.

[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;

٩ 9 وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى وَادِي قَانَةَ جَنُوبِيَّ ٱلْوَادِي. هَذِهِ مُدُنُ أَفْرَايِمَ بَيْنَ مُدُنِ مَنَسَّى. وَتُخْمُ مَنَسَّى شِمَالِيُّ ٱلْوَادِي، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river. These cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the limits of it were at the sea:

١٠ 10 مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ لِأَفْرَايِمَ، وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِمَنَسَّى. وَكَانَ ٱلْبَحْرُ تُخْمَهُ. وَوَصَلَ إِلَى أَشِيرَ شِمَالًا، وَإِلَى يَسَّاكَرَ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ.

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.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ لِمَنَسَّى فِي يَسَّاكَرَ وَفِي أَشِيرَ بَيْتُ شَانَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَيَبْلَعَامُ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ دُوَرٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ عَيْنِ دُوَرٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ تَعْنَكَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ مَجِدُّو وَقُرَاهَا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ ٱلثَّلَاثُ.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Tanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, [even] three countries.

١٢ 12 وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو مَنَسَّى أَنْ يَمْلِكُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنَ، فَعَزَمَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ عَلَى ٱلسَّكَنِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not expel [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَشَدَّدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوا ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ، وَلَمْ يَطْرُدُوهُمْ طَرْدًا.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly expel them.

١٤ 14 وَكَلَّمَ بَنُو يُوسُفَ يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي قُرْعَةً وَاحِدَةً وَحِصَّةً وَاحِدَةً نَصِيبًا وَأَنَا شَعْبٌ عَظِيمٌ، لِأَنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ قَدْ بَارَكَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟»

And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath hitherto blessed me?

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ شَعْبًا عَظِيمًا، فَٱصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱقْطَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ، إِذَا ضَاقَ عَلَيْكَ جَبَلُ أَفْرَايِمَ».

And Joshua answered them, If thou [art] a great people, [then] go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ بَنُو يُوسُفَ: «لَا يَكْفِينَا ٱلْجَبَلُ. وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْوَادِي مَرْكَبَاتُ حَدِيدٍ. لِلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ شَانٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَلِلَّذِينَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».

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 Beth-shean and its towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.

١٧ 17 فَكَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ بَيْتَ يُوسُفَ، أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى، قَائِلًا: «أَنْتَ شَعْبٌ عَظِيمٌ وَلَكَ قُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، لَا تَكُونُ لَكَ قُرْعَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ.

And Joshua spoke to 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]:

١٨ 18 بَلْ يَكُونُ لَكَ ٱلْجَبَلُ لِأَنَّهُ وَعْرٌ، فَتَقْطَعُهُ وَتَكُونُ لَكَ مَخَارِجُهُ. فَتَطْرُدُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ لِأَنَّ لَهُمْ مَرْكَبَاتِ حَدِيدٍ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشِدَّاءُ».

But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the limits of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [are] strong.
