Josua 17

1 Og Lodden faldt for Manasse Stamme, thi han er Josefs førstefødte; for Makir, Manasse førstefødte, Gileads Fader, fordi han var en Krigsmand, derfor blev Gilead og Basan hans.

And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he [is] firstborn of Joseph), for Machir firstborn of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he has been a man of war, and his are Gilead and Bashan.

2 Men for de øvrige af Manasse Børn iblandt deres Slægter var og falden en Lod, nemlig for Abiesers Børn og for Heleks Børn og for Asriels Børn og for Sekems Børn og for Hefers Børn og for Semidas Børn; disse ere Manasse, Josefs Søns, Børn, de af Mandkøn iblandt deres Slægter.

And there is [a lot] for the sons of Manasseh who are left, for their families; for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these [are] the children of Manasseh son of Joseph—the males—by their families.

3 Men Zelafehad, en Søn af Hefer, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Makir, en Søn af Manasse, han havde ikke Sønner, men Døtre; og disse ere hans Døtres Navne: Mahela og Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza.

As for Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, he has no children except daughters, and these [are] the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah,

4 Og de kom frem for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt, og for Josvas, Nuns Søns, Ansigt, og for Fyrsternes Ansigt, og sagde: Herren bød Mose, at han skulde give os Arv midt iblandt vore Brødre; og man gav dem Arv efter Herrens Mund, midt iblandt deres Faders Brødre.

and they draw near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, “YHWH commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us in the midst of our brothers”; and he gives to them, at the command of YHWH, an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.

5 Og der faldt ti Parter for Manasse, foruden Gileads Land og Basan, som ligger paa hin Side Jordanen.

And ten portions fall [to] Manasseh, apart from the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [are] beyond the Jordan;

6 Thi Manasse Døtre fik Arv midt iblandt hans Sønner; men Manasse øvrige Børn havde faaet Landet Gilead.

for the daughters of Manasseh have inherited an inheritance in the midst of his sons, and the land of Gilead has been for the sons of Manasseh who are left.

7 Og Manasse Landemærke var fra Aser til Mikmethath, som ligger lige for Sikem; og Landemærket gaar ud paa den højre Side til Indbyggerne i En-Thappua.

And the border of Manasseh is from Asher to Michmethah, which [is] on the front of Shechem, and the border has gone on to the right, to the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.

8 Thappua Land hørte Manasse til; men Thappua ved Manasse Landemærke hørte Efraims Børn til.

The land of Tappuah has been for Manasseh, and Tappuah to the border of Manasseh for the sons of Ephraim.

9 Og Landemærket gaar ned til Bækken Kana, Sønden for Bækken; disse Stæder høre Efraim til midt iblandt Manasse Stæder; men Manasse Landemærke er Norden for Bækken, og dets Udgang er ved Havet.

And the border has come down [to] the Brook of Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the border of Manasseh [is] on the north of the brook, and its outgoings are at the sea.

10 Mod Sønden var Efraims og mod Norden var Manasse Arv, og Havet var hans Landemærke; og de støde op til Aser mod Norden og til Isaskar mod Østen.

Southward [is] for Ephraim and northward for Manasseh, and the sea is his border, and in Asher they meet on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

11 Men Manasse havde iblandt Isaskar og iblandt Aser: Beth-Sean med dens tilhørende Stæder og Jibleam med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i En-Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Thaanak med dens tilhørende Stæder og Indbyggerne i Megiddo med dens tilhørende Stæder, som ere de tre Høje.

And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh has Beth-Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns—three counties.

12 Og Manasse Børn kunde ikke indtage disse Stæder, men Kananiten boede roligt i samme Land.

And the sons of Manasseh have not been able to occupy these cities, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in this land,

13 Og det skete, der Israels Børn bleve stærke, da gjorde de Kananiten skatskyldig; men de fordreve ham ikke aldeles.

and it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have been strong, that they put the Canaanite to forced labor, and have not utterly dispossessed him.

14 Og Josefs Børn talede med Josva og sagde: Hvorfor gav du mig ikkun een Lod og een Part til Arv? Jeg er et stort Folk, eftersom Herren har velsignet mig hidindtil.

And the sons of Joseph speak with Joshua, saying, “Why have you given an inheritance to me—one lot and one portion, and I [am] a numerous people? YHWH has blessed me until now.”

15 Og Josva sagde til dem: Dersom du er et stort Folk, da gak op i Skoven og udhug dig der et Stykke i Feresiternes og Kæmpernes Land, efterdi Efraims Bjerg er dig for trangt.

And Joshua says to them, “If you [are] a numerous people, go up to the forest for yourself, then you have created [a place] for yourself there in the land of the Perizzite and of the Rephaim, when Mount Ephraim has been narrow for you.”

16 Da sagde Josefs Børn: Dette Bjerg er ikke tilstrækkeligt for os; tilmed er der Jernvogne hos alle Kananiterne, som bo i Dallandet, hos dem, som bo i Beth-Sean med dens tilliggende Stæder, og hos dem, som bo i Jisreels Dal.

And the sons of Joseph say, “The mountain is not enough for us, and a chariot of iron [is] with every Canaanite who is dwelling in the land of the valley—to him who [is] in Beth-Shean and its towns, and to him who [is] in the Valley of Jezreel.”

17 Og Josva sagde til Josefs Hus, til Efraim og til Manasse, sigende: Du er et stort Folk, og du har stor Styrke, du skal ikke have een Lod blot.

And Joshua speaks to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You [are] a numerous people, and have great power; you do not have [only] one lot,

18 Thi et Bjerg skal høre dig til, og fordi det er en Skov, da skal du hugge den af, og dens Udgange skulle høre dig til; thi du skal fordrive Kananiten, enddog han har Jernvogne, enddog han er stærk.

because the mountain is yours; because it [is] a forest—you have created it, and its outgoings have been yours; because you dispossess the Canaanite, though it has chariots of iron—though it [is] strong.”
