Joshua 17

1 Manasseh loe Josep ih calu ah oh; Makir doeh Manasseh ih calu ah oh pongah, Manasseh acaeng hanah taham khethaih phoisa to vah moe, qawktoep ih prae loe hae tiah oh; Makir loe misahoih misatuh kami ah oh moe, Gilead hoi Bashan prae to toep; Makir loe Gilead kaminawk ih ampa ah oh.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to know, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

2 Joseph capa Manasseh ih caa nongpa ah kaom, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shekem, Hepher hoi Shemida acaengnawk loe, taham khethaih phoisa vah o ih baktih toengah prae to a toep o.

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.

3 Manasseh capa Makir, Makir capa Gilead, Gilead capa Hepher, Hepher capa Zelophehad loe ca nongpa tawn ai, canu khue ni a tawnh; anih ih canu hminnawk loe Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah hoi Tirzah.

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.

4 Nihcae loe qaima Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua hoi zaehoikungnawk khaeah caeh o moe, Kam nawkamyanawk salakah qawktoep hanah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah lokpaek boeh, tiah a naa o. To pongah Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Joshua mah ampanawk ih nawkamyanawk salakah nihcae hanah qawk to paek.

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.

5 Manasseh loe Jordan vapui ni angyae bangah kaom, Gilead hoi Bashan pacoengah, kalah ahmuen hato doeh anih taham ah paek o bae vop;

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

6 Manasseh ih canunawk doeh capanawk hoi nawnto qawk to toep o pongah, kalah Manasseh ih capanawk mah Gilead prae to toep o.

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

7 Manasseh ih prae loe Asher prae thung hoiah caeh moe, Shekem vangpui hmaa ah kaom, Mikmethath karoek to kawk; to ahmuen hoi bantang bangah caeh tathuk moe, En-Tappuah kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen khoek to athum.

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lies before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

8 Manasseh mah Tappuah prae to toep; toe Manasseh ramri ah kaom, Tappuah vangpui loe Ephraim kaminawk mah toep o.

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

9 Ramri loe Kanah vapui aloih bangah caeh tathuk poe, Manasseh ih vangpuinawk salakah Ephraim ih thoemto vangpuinawk athum toeng; toe Manasseh ih ramri loe, vapui ranui bang khoek to caeh tahang moe, tuipui ah boeng.

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the utmost limit of it were at the sea:

10 Aloih bangah Ephraim ih prae to oh moe, aluek bangah loe Manasseh ih prae to oh; tuipui loe Manasseh prae ramri ah oh; aluek bangah loe Asher hoi angbet, ni angyae bangah loe Issakar hoi angbet.

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.

11 To prae thung hoi Manasseh mah toep ih prae thumtonawk loe, Beth-Shean vangpui hoi a taeng ih vangpuinawk, Ibleam vangpui hoi a taeng ih vangpuinawk, Dor vangpui hoi a taengah kaom vangpuinawk hoi kaminawk, En-Dor vangpui hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk, Taanak vangpui hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk, Megiddo vangpui hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk boih athum o.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

12 Toe Manasseh kaminawk loe to vangpuinawk thungah kaom kaminawk to haek o thai ai; to pongah Kanaan kaminawk loe to vangpuinawk thungah oh o poe.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

13 Toe Israel kaminawk thacak o aep aep naah loe, Kanaan kaminawk to haek boih ai, tamut to paek o sak.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were becoming strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

14 Joseph ih acaengnawk mah Joshua khaeah, Kaicae loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek pongah, paroeai kami ka pop o, toe tipongah kaicae han taham khethaih phoisa maeto khue nang vahsak moe, ahmuen maeto khue qawk ah nang paek loe? tiah a naa o.

And the children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD has blessed me until now?

15 To naah Joshua mah nihcae khaeah, Na pop o parai moe, Ephraim ahmuen maeto nangcae han khawt ai boeh nahaeloe, taw ah caeh o tahangh loe, Periz hoi kalen parai kaminawk ih prae to, nangmacae han lawk ah vaat oh, tiah a naa.

And Joshua answered them, If you be a great people, then get you up to the wood country, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for you.

16 Joseph ih caanawk mah, Mae nui loe kaicae han khawt ai boeh; azawn ah kaom Kanaan kaminawk, Beth-Shan hoi Jezreel azawn ah kaom kaminawk boih loe, sum hoi sak ih hrang lakok to tawnh o boih, tiah a naa o.

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 Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

17 Joshua mah Joseph imthung takoh, Ephraim imthung takoh hoi Manasseh imthung takoh khaeah, Nangcae loe paroeai na pop o moe, tha doeh na cak o; to pongah taham khethaih phoisa maeto khue na va o mak ai;

And Joshua spoke unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power: you shall not have one lot only:

18 mae loe nangcae taham ah ni om tih; taw ah oh pongah, lawk ah vaat oh loe, na vah o thai thung nangcae taham ah om tih; Kanaan kaminawk loe thacak o moe, sum hoi sak ih hrang lakok tawn o cadoeh, na haek o boih thai tih, tiah a naa.

But the mountain shall be yours; for it is a wood, and you shall cut it down: and the utmost limit of it shall be yours: for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
