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.

And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the firstborn of Joseph) to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan.

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.

And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.

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.

But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.

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.

And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren 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.

And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.

6 Bai Ma: na: se egaga fi dunu da soge lai amola egaga fi uda da soge eno lai.

For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses.

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.

And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua.

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.

For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children 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.

And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are 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.

So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east.

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.

And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.

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.

Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.

13 Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa da heda: i be amo dunu hame sefasi. Be ilia da amo dunu udigili hawa: hamomusa: logei.

But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them.

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.”

And the children of Joseph spoke to Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?

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.”

And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

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.”

And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.

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.

And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:

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.”

But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.
