Yosua 17

1 Bagian undian yang ditentukan bagi suku Manasye, sebab dialah anak sulung Yusuf, ialah demikian: Kepada Makhir, anak sulung Manasye, bapa Gilead, telah diberikan Gilead dan Basan, karena ia seorang tentara.

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 Jadi bagian itulah yang ditentukan bagi anak-anak Manasye yang lain, menurut kaum-kaum mereka, yakni bagi bani Abiezer, bani Helek, bani Asriel, bani Sekhem, bani Hefer dan bani Semida; itulah keturunan yang laki-laki dari Manasye bin Yusuf, menurut kaum-kaum mereka.

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 Tetapi Zelafehad bin Hefer bin Gilead bin Makhir bin Manasye tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, tetapi hanya anak perempuan. Inilah nama anak-anaknya itu: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka dan Tirza.

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 Mereka datang menghadap imam Eleazar, dan menghadap Yosua bin Nun, serta para pemimpin, dan berkata: "TUHAN telah memerintahkan kepada Musa untuk memberikan milik pusaka kepada kami di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara kami." Sebab itu diberikannya kepada mereka, milik pusaka di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara ayah mereka, sesuai dengan titah TUHAN.

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 Demikianlah kepada suku Manasye jatuh sepuluh bidang tanah, selain dari tanah Gilead dan Basan yang di seberang Yordan,

Ten parcels of land were assigned to Manasseh in Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,

6 sebab anak-anak perempuan Manasye telah menerima milik pusaka di tengah-tengah anak-anaknya lelaki, sedang tanah Gilead ditentukan bagi anak-anak lelaki Manasye yang lain.

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 Jadi batas daerah Manasye ialah dari Asyer ke Mikhmetat yang di sebelah timur Sikhem; kemudian batas itu terus ke selatan ke daerah penduduk En-Tapuah.

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 Tanah Tapuah adalah kepunyaan suku Manasye, tetapi kota Tapuah, dekat batas daerah Manasye, adalah kepunyaan bani Efraim.

(The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)

9 Kemudian batas itu turun ke sungai Kana, ke sebelah selatan sungai itu. Kota-kota di sana adalah kepunyaan suku Efraim, sekalipun di tengah-tengah kota-kota suku Manasye. Selanjutnya batas daerah Manasye itu lewat dari sebelah utara sungai itu dan berakhir ke laut.

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 Ke selatan daerah itu kepunyaan suku Efraim dan ke utara kepunyaan suku Manasye. Batasnya ialah laut; di sebelah utara batas daerah itu menyinggung daerah Asyer, di sebelah timur menyinggung daerah Isakhar.

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 Tetapi di daerah Isakhar dan Asyer ada juga kepunyaan suku Manasye, yakni Bet-Sean dengan segala anak kotanya, Yibleam dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk En-Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Taanakh dengan segala anak kotanya, dan penduduk Megido dengan segala anak kotanya, yakni ketiga daerah bukit itu.

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 Tetapi bani Manasye tidak dapat menduduki kota-kota itu, sebab orang Kanaan berhasil untuk tetap diam di negeri itu.

Yet the tribe of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, for the Canaanites continued to live in this land.

13 Setelah orang Israel menjadi kuat, orang Kanaan itu dibuatnya menjadi orang rodi, tetapi tidaklah sama sekali mereka itu dihalaunya.

When the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not completely drive them out.

14 Berkatalah bani Yusuf kepada Yosua, demikian: "Mengapa engkau memberikan kepadaku hanya satu bagian undian dan satu bidang tanah saja menjadi milik pusaka, padahal aku ini bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya, karena TUHAN sampai sekarang memberkati aku?"

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 Jawab Yosua kepada mereka: "Kalau engkau bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya, pergilah ke hutan dan bukalah tanah bagimu di sana di negeri orang Feris dan orang Refaim, jika pegunungan Efraim terlalu sesak bagimu."

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 Kemudian berkatalah bani Yusuf: "Pegunungan itu tidak cukup bagi kami, dan semua orang Kanaan yang diam di dataran itu mempunyai kereta besi, baik yang diam di Bet-Sean dengan segala anak kotanya maupun yang diam di lembah Yizreel."

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 Lalu berkatalah Yosua kepada keturunan Yusuf, kepada suku Efraim dan suku Manasye: "Engkau ini bangsa yang banyak jumlahnya dan mempunyai kekuatan yang besar; tidak hanya satu bagian undian ditentukan bagimu,

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 tetapi pegunungan itu akan ditentukan bagimu juga, dan karena tanah itu hutan, haruslah kamu membukanya; kamu akan memilikinya sampai kepada ujung-ujungnya, sebab kamu akan menghalau orang Kanaan itu, sekalipun mereka mempunyai kereta besi dan sekalipun mereka kuat."

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.”
