Joshua 17

1 This was the allocation to the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn son. Machir was Manasseh's firstborn son who was the father of Gilead. Because Machir had been an excellent fighter, Gilead and Bashan had already been allocated to him.

Tambem caiu a sorte á tribu de Manasseh, porquanto era o primogenito de José, a saber: Machir, o primogenito de Manasseh, pae de Gilead, porquanto era homem de guerra, teve a Gilead e Basan.

2 The allocation was for the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, to the families of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by families.

Tambem os mais filhos de Manasseh tiveram sorte, segundo as suas familias, a saber: os filhos d'Abiezer, e os filhos de Helek, e os filhos d'Asriel, e os filhos de Sechem, e os filhos de Hepher, e os filhos de Semida: estes são os filhos machos de Manasseh, filho de José, segundo as suas familias.

3 But Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons. He only had daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Selofad, porém, filho d'Hepher, o filho de Gilead, filho de Machir, o filho de Manasseh, não teve filhos, mas só filhas: e estes são os nomes de suas filhas: Machla, Noa, Hogla, Milka e Tirsa.

4 They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, and told them, “The Lord ordered Moses to give us an allocation of land along with our brothers.” So Joshua allotted land to them along with their brothers, as the Lord had ordered.

Estas, pois, chegaram diante d'Eleazar, o sacerdote, e diante de Josué, filho de Nun, e diante dos principes, dizendo: O Senhor ordenou a Moysés que se nos désse herança no meio de nossos irmãos: pelo que, conforme ao dito do Senhor, lhes deu herança no meio dos irmãos de seu pae.

5 Consequently Manasseh received ten shares of land beside the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,

E cairam a Manasseh dez quinhões, afóra a terra de Gilead, e Basan que está d'além do Jordão:

6 because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an allocation along with the sons. (The land of Gilead had been allotted to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh).

Porque as filhas de Manasseh no meio de seus filhos possuiram herança: e a terra de Gilead tiveram os outros filhos de Manasseh.

7 The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath, near Shechem, then south to the spring of Tappuah.

E o termo de Manasseh foi desde Aser até Mikmetath, que está diante de Sechem: e vae este termo á mão direita, até aos moradores d'En-tappuah.

8 The land around Tappuah was allocated to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was on the border of Manasseh's land, was allocated to Ephraim.

Tinha Manasseh a terra de Tappuah: porém a Tappuah, no termo de Manasseh, tinham os filhos d'Ephraim.

9 From there the boundary ran down to the valley of Kenah. South of the valley some of the towns belonged to Ephraim among the towns of Manasseh. The boundary ran along the north side of the valley and ended at the sea.

Então desce este termo ao ribeiro de Cana, para o sul do ribeiro: d'Ephraim são estas cidades no meio das cidades de Manasseh: e o termo de Manasseh está ao norte do ribeiro, sendo as suas saidas no mar.

10 To the south the land belonged to Ephraim, and to the north, to Manasseh. The sea is the boundary. The boundary to the north was with Asher, and with Issachar to the east.

Ephraim ao sul, e Manasseh ao norte, e o mar é o seu termo: pelo norte tocam em Aser, e pelo oriente em Issacar.

11 The following towns with their associated villages were allocated to Manasseh but lay within the land of Issachar and Asher: Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor (on the coast), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo.

Porque em Issacar e em Aser tinha Manasseh a Beth-sean e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e Ibleam e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e os habitantes de Dor e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e os habitantes d'En-dor e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e os habitantes de Thaanak e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e os habitantes de Megiddo e os logares da sua jurisdicção: tres comarcas.

12 But the descendants of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns because the Canaanites were determined to go on occupying the land.

E os filhos de Manasseh não poderam expellir os habitantes d'aquellas cidades: porquanto os cananeos queriam habitar na mesma terra.

13 However, later on, when the Israelites grew strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor—but they did not drive them out.

E succedeu que, engrossando em forças os filhos de Israel, fizeram tributarios aos cananeos; porém não os expelliram de todo.

14 Then the descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked him, “Why have you given us only one allocation—only one share of the land—when there's so many of us because the Lord has blessed us so much?”

Então os filhos de José fallaram a Josué, dizendo: Porque me déste por herança só uma sorte e um quinhão, sendo eu um tão grande povo, visto que o Senhor até aqui me tem abençoado?

15 Joshua told them, “If there's so many of you, if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, then go and clear ground for yourselves from the forest in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”

E disse-lhes Josué: Se tão grande povo és, sobe ao bosque, e corta para ti ali logar na terra dos phereseos e dos rephains: pois que as montanhas de Ephraim te são tão estreitas.

16 The descendants of Joseph replied, “The hill country isn't big enough for us, but the Canaanites living in the lowlands have iron chariots, both those in Beth-shan and its villages, and those in the valley of Jezreel.”

Então disseram os filhos de José: As montanhas nos não bastariam: tambem carros ferrados ha entre todos os cananeos que habitam na terra do valle, entre os de Beth-sean e os logares da sua jurisdicção, e entre os que estão no valle de Jezreel.

17 Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, “Since you are so many, and you are so strong, you will be given more than just one share.

Então Josué fallou á casa de José, a Ephraim e a Manasseh, dizendo: Grande povo és, e grande força tens; uma só sorte não terás;

18 You will be allocated the hill country in addition. Though it is forest, you will clear it and own it, from one end to the other. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots, and even though they are strong.”

Porém as montanhas serão tuas: e, pois que bosque é, corta-o, e as suas saidas serão tuas: porque expellirás os cananeos, ainda que tenham carros ferrados, ainda que sejam fortes.
