Yosiua 17
1 Soge eno Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi ilia da Yousefe ea magobo mano Ma: na: se amo egaga fi mogili ilima ilegei. Gilia: de ea eda amo Ma: ige da Ma: na: se ea magobo mano. E da gegesu ganodini mae beda: iwane gegei. Amaiba: le, Mousese da Yodane eso mabadi la: idi soge amo Gilia: de amola Ba: isa: ne ema i dagoi.
This was the assignment of land for the tribe of Manasseh (who was the firstborn of Joseph)—that is, for Makir, who was Manasseh's firstborn and who himself was the father of Gilead. Makir's descendants were assigned the land of Gilead and Bashan, because Makir had been a man of war.
2 Be soge amo Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi diala amo Ma: na: se fi eno da lai dagoi. Amo fi da Ma: na: se (Yousefe egefe) amo egaga fi. Ilia dio da A: ibaise, Hilege, A:seliele, Siegeme, Hife amola Siemaida. Amola ilia da ilia sosogo fi ilima bisilua gala.
Land was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, given to their clans—Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, presented by their clans.
3 Siloufiha: de (e da Hife ea mano amola Hife da Gilia: de ea mano. Gilia: de da Ma: ige ea mano amola Ma: ige da Ma: na: se ea mano) da dunu mano hame. E da uda mano fawane lai. Ilia dio da Mala, Nowa, Hogola, Miliga amola Desa.
Now Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh had no sons, but only daughters. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
4 Ilia da Elia: isa (gobele salasu dunu), Yosiua (Nane ea mano) amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima misini, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da Mousesema, e da nini amo ninia dunu fi defele, soge mogili ninima ima: ne sia: i.” Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ilia da dunu fi defele, Siloufiha: de ea idiwilali ilima soge i.
They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, and they said, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So, following the commandment of Yahweh, he gave those women an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 Amaiba: le, Eso Mabe Ma: na: se fi da Yodane Hano eso mabe la: idi amoga Gilia: de amola Ba: isa: ne soge lai. Amola ilia da soge fifi nabuane gala eno lai.
Ten parcels of land were assigned to Manasseh in Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,
6 Bai Ma: na: se egaga fi dunu da soge lai amola egaga fi uda da soge eno lai.
because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was assigned to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh.
7 Ma: na: se ea soge alalo da A: sie fi ilia soge amoga asili, Migimida moilai (Siegeme moilai bai bagadega eso mabadi la: idi) amoga doaga: i. Amalu, alalo da ga (south) asili, Eneda: biua dunu fi ilia soge sisiga: i.
The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Mikmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the border went southward to those living near the spring of Tappuah.
8 Soge da Da: biua moilai bai bagadega sisiga: le dialu da Ma: na: se egaga fi ilia soge. Be Da: biua moilai bai bagade da soge alalo amoga dialu amola moilai amo Ifala: ime egaga fi da gagui.
(The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)
9 Alalo da asili Gana Hano amoga doaga: i. Moilai amo hano ga (south) dialu da Ifala: ime ea moilai. Be soge amo Ma: na: se da gagui. Ma: na: se soge alalo da hano ga (north) asili, Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade amoga doaga: i.
The border went down to the brook of Kanah. These cities south of the brook among the towns of Manasseh belonged to Ephraim. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea.
10 Ifala: ime da ga (south) dialu amola Ma: na: se da ga (north) dialu. Ilia eso dabe alalo da Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade. A: sie da ga (north) eso dabe la: idi dialu amola Isaga da ga (north) eso mabadi la: idi dialu.
The land to the south belonged to Ephraim, and the land to the north was Manasseh's; the sea was the border. On the north side Asher can be reached, and to the east, Issachar.
11 Ma: na: se da Isaga amola A: sie ela soge ganodini moilai bai bagade gagui galu. Amo da Bede Sia: ne, Ibilia: me, Do (amo da hano wayabo bagade bega: ), Enedo, Da: ina: ge, Megidou amola moilai ilima sisiga: le dialu.
Also in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shan and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Endor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages (and the third city is Napheth).
12 Be Ma: na: se fi dunu da Ga: ina: ne dunu amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu amo gadili sefasimusa: hamedei agoane ba: i.
Yet the tribe of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, for the Canaanites continued to live in this land.
13 Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa da heda: i be amo dunu hame sefasi. Be ilia da amo dunu udigili hawa: hamomusa: logei.
When the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not completely drive them out.
14 Yousefe egaga fi dunu da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Di da abuliba: le ninima soge afadafa fawane ibala: ? Hina Gode da nini hahawane fidibiba: le, ninia fi da bagade hamoi dagoi.”
Then the descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one assignment of land and one portion for an inheritance, since we are a people great in number, and all along Yahweh has blessed us?”
15 Yosiua da ilima bu adole i, “Dilia da dunu bagohameba: le amola Ifala: ime agolo soge da fonobahadi ba: beba: le, defea, iwila soge amo Belesaide dunu amola Lefa: ime dunu ilia sogega asili, moi dogone, dilia sogebi hahamoma.”
Joshua said to them, “If you are a people great in number, go up by yourselves to the forest and there clear the ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim. Do this, since the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you.”
16 Ilia da bu adole i, “Dafawane! Agolo soge da nini huluane fima: ne fonobahadi ba: sa. Be Ga: ina: naide dunu umi sogega esala da ouli sa: liode gala. Ilia da Bede Sia: ne amola Yeseliele Fago amo ganodini esala amola gasa bagade ba: sa.”
The descendants of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. But all the Canaanites who live in the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shan and its villages, and those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.”
17 Yosiua da Ifala: ime fi amola Eso Dabe Ma: na: se fi ilima amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Dilia da dunu bagohame fi. Amola dilia da gasa bagade. Dilia soge fifi amo afadafa baligimu da defea.
Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a people great in number, and you have great power. You must not have only one piece of land assigned to you.
18 Dilia da agolo soge huluane lamu da defea. Amo da iwila gala, be dilia da ifa huluane a: le fasili huluane lamu. Dafawane! Ga: ina: ne dunu da gasa bagade amola ilia da ouli sa: liode gala. Be amo mae dawa: le, dilia da amo dunu huluane gadili sefasimu.”
The hill country will also be yours. Though it is a forest, you will clear it and take possession of it to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron, and even though they are strong.”
