Joshua 17

1 Gamloding kihopna abannachu Joseph chillhah chamasa Manasseh phung akehkhat chu akipen ahi. Makir Manesseh chamasa chu Gilead dia apa ahi. Ama chilhah hohi galhatmi ahiyehun Jordan solam gamkaija um Gilead le Bashan chu anakipesa ahi.

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.

2 Hitichun Jordan lhumlam gamkai Abizer, Helek, Asreil, Sechom, Hepher, chuleh Shemida hohi Manasseh phungkhai sung lah’a avatnalai insungho chan ding ahi. Hiche bahkhai hohin Joseph cha Manasseh chilhah pasalho thalheng ahiuve.

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.

3 Ahiyeng vang'in Manasseh chapa Makir, Makir chapa Gilead, Gilead chapa Hepher, Hepher chapa Zelophahad chu cha neilou ahin, aman chanubou aneijin amaho minchu Malah, Noah, Haglah, Milcah chuleh Tirzah ahiuve.

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.

4 Hiche numei hohi, thempupa Eleazer, Nun chapa Joshua, chuleh Israel lamkaiho kommah ahungun hitin ahungseijun ahi, “Pakaiyin, Mose jah’a eyhole kasopiteu pasalho gamlodi eipehdiovin thupeh anapen ahi” atiove. Hijeh chun Joshua’n jong ama hochu Pakai thupeh banga apa-ngahteo chan bangin gamchu anapen ahi.

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.

5 Hijeh chun Manasseh chan apumpi chu Jordan vadung galla Gilead leh Bashan gamchan banna chu gamchan oma hung lhingtan ahi.

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

6 Ajeh chu Manasseh chilhah numei hojong pasal chilhah chanto kibanga achanjeh’u ahi. (Gilead gamchu Manasseh chilhah pasal amoh ho kipeh ahi).

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.

7 Manasseh phung gamgichu Asher gamgi hina kon in Secheme kom Micmethath changei jin ahung kikholutnin ahi. Hichea konchun gamgichu Micmethath’a kon in achesuhin Tappuah twinah putna komma chenna munho geijin ahung kilhung lut in ahi.

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.

8 Tappuah velkolla gamho chu Manasseh chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi a um Tappuah khopi tah vang chu Ephraim phung mite chan ahi.

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

9 Tappuah twinah putna akonnin Manasseh gamgi chun Kanah vadungneo chu ajuijin Meditteranean twikhanglen'ah alutnin ahi. Hiche vadungneo lhanglanga khopi phabep chu Manasseh gamsung ahi, ahinla hiche hochu atah beh’in Ephraim phungho chan ahi.

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.

10 Alhanglhon invang, hiche vadungneo lhanglam gamchu Ephraimte chan ahi, chuleh vadungneo sahlang gamchu Manasseh te chan ahi. Manasseh gamgi vadungneo sahlang gamkai chutoh akilhonin Mediterranean nah a atangin ahi. Manasseh sahlang chu Asher gam ahin chuleh sahlang vangchu Issachar gam ahi.

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.

11 Ahivangin Issachar le Asher gamgi sunga um khopi ho, Beth-shan khopi, Ibleam khopi, Dor khopi (Hichu Naphoth-dor), Endor, Taanach khopi chule Megiddo khopi holeh agamsunga cheng hojouse chu Manasseh chan din anakipe tan ahi.

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.

12 Ahinlah Manasseh chilhah chengse chun hiche khopi ho chu analalut joupou vin ahi. Amahon Canaan mite chu anadel-mang jou pouvin tuni geijin aum nalaijun hai.

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

13 Ahinlah khonunga Israelte ahung hatdoh phatnuvin Canaan mite chu soh in amang taovin ahi. Ahinlah agam sunguva kon in anodoh joupouvin ahi.

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.

14 Joseph chilhahte Joshua kommah ahungun hiti hin ahung dong’ui, “Pakaiyin hibanga eipunsahuva ipi dinga kachenna dio gamhi chan khatbou neipeh ham?”

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.

15 Joshua’n adonbutnin “Nangho natamlheh jengtah uva Ephraim thinglhang gam nangho dinga aneotaha ahileh hiche Periz mitele Reph mite channa gammang lahkhu nangho dingin gakisuhtheng taovin atipeh in ahi.”

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.

16 Joseph chilhahte chun adonbutnin, “Thinglhang gamhi keiho dingin alhing joupoi katiu hi atahbeh ahi. Ahinlah Canaan mite gamnomma cheng holeh Jezreel phaichamma um hohin thih sakol kangtalai aneijun, amahohi keihon kadoudio vin ahahsa valle atiove.”

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.

17 Hichun Joshua’n Joseph chilhahte Ephraim le Manasseh phungmi teho kommah hitin aseije “Nanghohi natammuve nahatlheh jeng taove ahileh nangho dingahi chan khatval kipeding nahiuve.

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.

18 Thinglhang gammang lahkhu nangho nachan bediu ahi. Nanghon nasuhtheng nom chanun gakisuhthengun agam lapen aningkoi changeijin galo tauvin phaichamma Canaan mite jeng jongkhu hatlheh uhenlang thih sakol kangtalai neijongleo ganodoh taovin,” ati.

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.
