Joshua 17
1 Now this lot fell to the tribe of Manasseh, since he is the firstborn of Joseph: to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, who was a fighting man, and he had as a possession Gilead and Bashan;
Joseph caming Manasaeh koca ham hmulung a yueh vaengah Gilead napa Manasseh kah caming Makir tah caemtloek hlang la a om dongah anih ham tah Gilead neh Bashan a om pah.
2 and to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, according to their families: to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida. These are the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, by their families.
Manasseh ca rhoek neh amih cako khuiah aka mueh pueng Abiezer koca rhoek ham neh Helek koca rhoek ham khaw, Asriel koca rhoek ham neh Shekhem koca rhoek ham khaw, Hepher koca rhoek ham neh Shemida koca rhoek ham khaw a om pah. He rhoek he Joseph capa Manasseh koca khuikah amah tongpa cako rhoek ni.
3 Yet truly, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, whose names are these: Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
Tedae Manasseh koca, Makir capa Gilead kah a ca Hepher capa Zelophehad tah ca tongpa om pawt tih huta rhoek bueng ni aka om. Te dongah anih canu rhoek ka a ming tah Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah neh Tirzah ni.
4 And they went before the sight of Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying: “The Lord instructed by the hand of Moses that a possession ought to be given to us, in the midst of our brothers.” And so, he gave to them, in accord with the order of the Lord, a possession in the midst of the brothers of their father.
Te vaengah amih te khosoih Eleazar hmai neh Nun capa Joshua hmai ah khaw, khoboei rhoek hmai ah khaw moe uh tih, “Ka nganpa rhoek lakli ah kaimih he rho phaeng ham BOEIPA loh Moses a uen te ta,” a ti uh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah olpaek vanbangla a napa rhoek kah paca boeina taengah amih te rho a paek.
5 And by lot, there fell ten portions to Manasseh, aside from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan.
Te dongah Gilead kho neh Jordan rhalvangan ah Bashan phoeiah tah Manasseh kah khoyo parha te a koep thiluh.
6 And so the daughters of Manasseh possessed an inheritance in the midst of his sons. But the land of Gilead fell by lot to the sons of Manasseh that were left.
Manasseh nu rhoek he a nganpa lakli ah rho a dang uh phoeiah Manasseh ca rhoek taengkah aka coih Gilead kho te khaw a bawn thil.
7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which looks out toward Shechem. And it goes out, to the right, beside the inhabitants of the Fountain of Tappuah.
Te dongah Manasseh khorhi he Asher Mikmthath lamloh Shekhem hmai la cet tih Entappuah khosa rhoek taengkah bantang rhi la yong.
8 For by lot, there also fell to Manasseh the land of Tappuah, which is beside the borders of Manasseh, and which belongs to the sons of Ephraim.
Tappuah kho he Manasseh ham om coeng dae Manasseh khorhi kah Tappuah te tah Ephraim koca rhoek hamla om bal.
9 And the border descends to the Valley of Reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is to the north of the torrent, and its exit extends to the sea.
Te phoeiah khorhi te tuithim kah Kanah soklong la suntla. Soklong kah khopuei rhoek he Manasseh khopuei lakli ah om dae Ephraim hut la om. Tedae soklong tlangpuei kah Manasseh khorhi tah tuipuei ah ni a hmoi a om pueng.
10 So it is that the possession of Ephraim is in the south, and that of Manasseh is in the north, and both are enclosed by the sea, and they are joined together by the tribe of Asher to the north, and by the tribe of Issachar to the east.
Te dongah Ephraim ham he tuithim ah, Manasseh ham te tlangpuei ah om tih tuipuei rhi te a pha. Tedae tlangpuei ah Asher neh, khocuk ah Issakhar neh doo uh thae.
11 And the inheritance of Manasseh, in Issachar and in Asher, was Bethshean and its villages, and Ibleam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with their towns, likewise the inhabitants of Endor with their villages, and similarly the inhabitants of Taanach with their villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with their villages, and one third part of the city of Naphath.
Te dongah Issakhar, Asher Bethshan khuikah neh a khobuel rhoek, Ibleam neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Dore kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Endor kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Taanakh kah khosa rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Meggido kah a pathum khopuei la aka om rhoek neh a khopuei rhoek khaw Manasseh hut la om.
12 The sons of Manasseh were not able to overthrow these cities, and so the Canaanite began to dwell in their land.
Tedae he khopuei rhoek he huul hamla Manasseh ca rhoek loh coeng uh thai pawh. Te dongah te rhoek paengpang ah khosak ham Kanaani loh a na.
13 But after the sons of Israel had grown strong, they subdued the Canaanites, and made them their tributaries, but they did not kill them.
Israel ca rhoek kah a noeng la a om dongah Kanaani te saldong la a paek sak akhaw a haek rhoe a haek moenih.
14 And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, and they said, “Why have you given to me as a possession one lot and one portion, while I am of such a great multitude, and the Lord has blessed me?”
Te vaengah Joseph koca rhoek loh Joshua te a voek uh tih, “Balae tih hmulung pakhat neh khoyo pakhat bueng he kai taengah rho la nan paek. BOEIPA loh kai yoethen m'paek dongah tahae duela pilnam loh ka ping uh pueng ta,” a ti nah.
15 And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up into the forest, and cut out space for yourself in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
Te dongah amih te Joshua loh, “Pilnam na ping oeh atah namah te duup la cet. Ephraim tlang te nang ham a caek oeh atah Perizzi neh Rapha kho te namah ham pahoi hum thil,” a ti nah.
16 And the sons of Joseph responded to him: “We are not able to ascend to the mountains, since the Canaanites, who live in the plains, in which are situated Bethshean, with its villages, and Jezreel, possessing the middle of the valley, use chariots of iron.”
Joseph koca rhoek loh, “Tlang he kaimih ka cung uh moenih. Kol hmuen ah kho aka sa Kanaan boeih taengah thi leng khaw om tih Bethshan neh khobuel boeih ah khaw amih ham, Jezreel kol ah khaw amih ham coeng ni,” a ti uh.
17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh: “You are a numerous people, and you have great strength. You shall not have only one lot.
Tedae Joshua loh Joseph imko Ephraim neh Manasseh taengah, “Pilnam khaw na ping uh tih na thadueng khaw a yet dongah nangmih ham hmulung pakhat bueng om boel saeh.
18 Instead, you shall cross to the mountain, and you shall cut down and clear out for yourselves space in which to live. And you shall be able to advance further, when you will have destroyed the Canaanite, who, as you say, has iron chariots and is very strong.”
Nang ham tlang pakhat bueng om cakhaw duup khaw na hum vetih hmangrhong hmanglae loh nang ham ha om bitni. Kanaan rhoek te thi leng neh amah ham tlungluen ngawn cakhaw na haek bal bitni,” a ti nah.
