Joshua 17

1 And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, ) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.

Tam je bil tudi žreb za Manásejev rod, kajti on je bil Jožefov prvorojenec. Namreč zaradi Manásejevega prvorojenca Mahírja, Gileádovega očeta, ker je bil bojevnik, zato je imel Gileád in Bašán.

2 And there was [land] assigned to the other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi, and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these [are] the males according to their families.

Tam je bil tudi žreb za preostanek Manásejevih otrok po njihovih družinah za otroke Abiézerja in za otroke Heleka in za otroke Asriéla in za otroke Sihema in za otroke Heferja in za otroke Šemidája. To so bili dečki Manáseja, Jožefovega sina po njihovih družinah.

3 And Salpaad the sons of Opher had no sons but daughters: and these [are] the names of the daughters of Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.

Toda Celofhád, sin Heferja, sin Gileáda, sin Mahírja, sin Manáseja, ni imel sinov, temveč hčere. To so imena njegovih hčera: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka in Tirca.

4 And they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance amongst the brethren of their father.

Prišle so blizu, pred duhovnika Eleazarja in pred Nunovega sina Józueta in pred prince, rekoč: » Gospod je zapovedal Mojzesu, da nam daste dediščino med našimi brati.« Zato jim je glede na Gospodovo zapoved dal dediščino med brati njihovega očeta.

5 And their lot fell [to them] from Anassa, and [to the] plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.

Tam je padlo deset deležev Manáseju, poleg gileádske in bašánske dežele, ki sta bili na drugi strani Jordana,

6 For the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.

kajti Manásejeve hčere so imele dediščino med njegovimi sinovi. Preostanek Manásejevih sinov pa je imel deželo Gileád.

7 And the borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders [even] to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.

Manásejeva pokrajina je bila od Aserja do Mihmetáta, ki leži pred Sihemom. Meja je potekala vzdolž desne roke do prebivalcev En Tapúaha.

8 It shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse [shall belong] to the sons of Ephraim.

Torej Manáse je imel deželo Tapúah, toda Tapúah na Manásejevi meji je pripadal Efrájimovim otrokom

9 And the borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ([there is] a turpentine tree [belonging] to Ephraim between [that and] the city of Manasse: ) and the borders of Manasse [are] northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.

in pokrajina se je spustila k reki Kano, južno od reke; ta Efrájimova mesta so med Manásejevimi mesti. Tudi Manásejeve pokrajine so bile na severni strani reke in njihovi izhodi so bili pri morju.

10 Southward [the land belongs] to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.

Proti jugu je bilo Efrájimovo in proti severu je bilo Manásejevo in morje je njegova meja in na severu sta se srečala v Aserju in na vzhodu v Isahárju.

11 And Manasses shall have in [the portion of] Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.

Manáse je imel v Isahárju in v Aserju Bet Šeán in njegova mesta, Jibleám in njegova mesta, prebivalce Dora in njegova mesta, prebivalce En Dora in njegova mesta, prebivalce Taanáha in njegova mesta in prebivalce Megída ter njegova mesta, torej tri dežele.

12 And the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.

Vendar Manásejevi otroci niso mogli napoditi prebivalcev teh mest, temveč so v tej deželi hoteli prebivati Kánaanci.

13 And it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.

Vendar se je pripetilo, ko so Izraelovi otroci postali močni, da so Kánaance podvrgli davku, toda niso jih popolnoma pognali ven.

14 And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Therefore have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.

Jožefovi otroci so spregovorili Józuetu, rekoč: »Zakaj si mi dal, da podedujem samo en žreb in en delež, glede na to, da sem veliko ljudstvo, ker me je Gospod doslej blagoslavljal?«

15 And Joshua said to them, If you be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear [the land] for yourself, If mount Ephraim be too little for you.

Józue jim je odgovoril: »Če si veliko ljudstvo, potem se dvigni v gozdnato deželo in tam posekaj zase, v deželi Perizéjcev in velikanov, če je gora Efrájim zate preozka.«

16 And they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan, and in its villages, [and] in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.

Jožefovi otroci so rekli: »Hrib ni dovolj za nas in vsi Kánaanci, ki prebivajo v dolinski deželi, imajo vozove iz železa, tako tisti, ki so iz Bet Šeána in njegovih mest in tisti, ki so iz doline Jezreél.«

17 And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have [only] one inheritance.

Józue je spregovoril Jožefovi hiši, torej Efrájimu in Manáseju, rekoč: »Ti si veliko ljudstvo in imaš veliko moč. Ne boš imel samo enega deleža.

18 For you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and [the land] shall be your; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.

Toda gora bo tvoja, kajti to je les in ti ga boš posekal in dohodek od tega bo tvoj, kajti napodil boš Kánaance, čeprav imajo železne vozove in čeprav so močni.«
