< Joshua 17 >

1 [This is a list of] the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh’s oldest son was Makir and his grandson was Gilead. Makir’s descendants were great warriors, so the lands in the Gilead and Bashan regions were allotted to their clan.
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 Land was also allotted to the other clans of the tribe of Manasseh: The clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.
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 Hepher’s son Zelophehad had no sons, but he had five daughters: 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 went to Eleazar the Supreme Priest, and to Joshua and to the other Israeli leaders. They said, “[We want you to give us some land, because] Yahweh told Moses that he should give to us some land, just like you gave to the men.” So Eleazar did what Yahweh had commanded, and he allotted to them some land, just like he allotted to their uncles.
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 So the tribe of Manasseh eventually had ten sections [of land west of the Jordan River] and [two sections, ] Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
E cairam a Manasseh dez quinhões, afóra a terra de Gilead, e Basan que está d'além do Jordão:
6 So those female descendants of Manasseh also were allotted land [on the west side of the river] just like the men were allotted. The other parts of the Gilead area were allotted to the male 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 land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was between the land where the tribe of Asher lives and Michmethath [town], near Shechem [city]. The border extended south to the Tappuah Spring.
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 near the Tappuah area belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, which was at the border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
Tinha Manasseh a terra de Tappuah: porém a Tappuah, no termo de Manasseh, tinham os filhos d'Ephraim.
9 The border [of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh] extended south to Kanah Gorge. From there it extended [west] along the north side of the gorge and ended at the [Mediterranean] 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 The land on the south side of the gorge belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and the land on the north side belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. The western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh was the [Mediterranean] Sea. To the north, the border of their land extended from the land allotted to the tribe of Asher [at the northwest] to the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar [at the northeast.]
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 But there are cities inside the area allotted to the tribes of Issachar and Asher. Those cities, along with their surrounding villages, were allotted to people from the tribe of Manasseh. These cities are Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Dor (which is also named Naphoth-Dor, ) 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 The men of the tribe of Manasseh were not able to force the people who lived in those cities to leave, so the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live in those cities.
E os filhos de Manasseh não poderam expellir os habitantes d'aquellas cidades: porquanto os cananeos queriam habitar na mesma terra.
13 But [years later] when the Israelis became better [warriors], they forced the Canaan people-group to work for them as slaves, although they did not force them to leave the land.
E succedeu que, engrossando em forças os filhos de Israel, fizeram tributarios aos cananeos; porém não os expelliram de todo.
14 The people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh said to Joshua, “You allotted to us only one area of land, but there are a lot of us. Yahweh has blessed us very much [with the result that our tribe has grown very large]. So why did you give us only a small part of the land [RHQ]?”
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 replied to them, “[I agree that] you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to [cut down the trees] in the forest [and] make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.”
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 people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh replied, “It is true that the land in the hilly area is not big enough for us, but the Canaan people-group who live in the lowlands, in Beth-Shan and the surrounding villages in that area, and in the Jezreel Valley, have iron chariots, [so we will not be able to defeat them]!”
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 replied to them, “Your tribe is very numerous and very powerful. So I will allot more land for you in the hilly area,
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 but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. [It is true that] the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.”
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.
