1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit , for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Kisha hii ndiyo kura iliyoiangukia kabila ya Manase; maana, yeye alikuwa ni mzaliwa wa kwanza, wa Yusufu. Katika habari za Makiri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Manase, babaye Gileadi, kwa sababu alikuwa mtu wa vita, basi alikuwa na Gileadi na Bashani.
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
Na kura ilikuwa ni ya hao wana wa Manase waliosalia kwa kuandama jamaa zao; kwa wana wa Abiezeri, na kwa wana wa Heleki, na kwa wana wa Asrieli, na kwa wana wa Shekemu, na kwa wana wa Heferi, na kwa wana wa Shemida; hao ndio wana waume wa Manase, mwana wa Yusufu, kwa kuandama jamaa zao.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Lakini Selofehadi, mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Gileadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase, hakuwa na wana waume ila binti; na majina ya hao binti zake walikuwa wakiitwa Mala, na Noa, na Hogla, na Milka, na Tirsa.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Nao wakakaribia mbele ya Eleazari, kuhani, na mbele ya Yoshua, mwana wa Nuni, na mbele ya mashehe, wakasema, Bwana alimwamuru Musa kutupa sisi urithi kati ya ndugu zetu; basi kwa kuiandama hiyo amri ya Bwana akawapa urithi kati ya ndugu za baba yao.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
Kisha kura zilizomwangukia Manase zilikuwa ni sehemu kumi, mbali na nchi ya Gileadi na Bashani, iliyo ng'ambo ya Yordani;
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
kwa sababu hao binti za Manase walikuwa na urithi katika wanawe waume; na nchi ya Gileadi ilikuwa ni mali ya hao wana waume wa Manase waliosalia.
7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Mpaka wa Manase ulikuwa kutoka Asheri hata Mikmeta, ulioelekea Shekemu; tena mpaka ukaendelea upande wa kuume, hata kuwafikilia wenyeji wa Entapua.
8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
Hiyo nchi ya Tapua ilikuwa ni mali ya Manase; lakini ule mji wa Tapua uliokuwa katika mpaka wa Manase ulikuwa ni mali ya wana wa Efraimu.
9 and the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
Tena mpaka ulitelemkia mpaka kijito cha Kana, upande wa kusini wa hicho kijito; miji hiyo ilikuwa ya Efraimu kati ya miji ya Manase; na mpaka wa Manase ulikuwa upande wa kaskazini wa hicho kijito, na matokeo yake yalikuwa baharini;
10 southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
upande wa kusini ilikuwa ni mali ya Efraimu, na upande wa kaskazini ilikuwa ni mali ya Manase, na bahari ilikuwa mpaka wake; nao wakafikilia hata Asheri upande wa kaskazini, na kufikilia hata Isakari upande wa mashariki.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
Tena Manase alikuwa na miji katika Isakari na katika Asheri, nayo ni hii, Bethsheani na vijiji vyake, na Ibleamu na miji yake, na wenyeji wa Dori na miji yake, na wenyeji wa Endori na miji yake, na wenyeji wa Taanaki na miji yake, na wenyeji wa Megido na miji yake, hata mahali patatu palipoinuka.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Lakini wana wa Manase hawakuweza kuwafukuza wenyeji wa miji hiyo; bali hao Wakanaani walijikaza ili wakae katika nchi hiyo.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
Kisha ikawa, hapo hao wana wa Israeli walipokuwa wamepata nguvu zaidi, ndipo wakawatenza nguvu hao Wakanaani wafanye kazi ya shokoa, wala hawakuwafukuza kabisa.
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
Kisha wana wa Yusufu wakanena na Yoshua, wakasema, Kwa nini umenipa mimi kura moja tu na fungu moja kuwa ni urithi wangu, kwa kuwa mimi ni taifa kubwa la watu, kwa sababu Bwana amenibarikia hata hivi sasa?
15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country , and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Yoshua akawaambia, Kwamba wewe u taifa kubwa la watu, haya, kwea uende mwituni, ujikatie mahali hapo kwa ajili ya nafsi yako katika nchi ya Waperizi, na ya hao Warefai; ikiwa hiyo nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu ni nyembamba, haikutoshi.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
Wana wa Yusufu wakasema, Hiyo nchi ya vilima haitutoshi sisi; lakini Wakanaani wote wakaao katika nchi ya bondeni wana magari ya chuma, hao walio katika Bethsheani na miji yake, na hao walio katika bonde la Yezreeli pia.
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
Kisha Yoshua alinena na nyumba ya Yusufu, maana, ni Efraimu na Manase, akawaambia, Wewe u taifa kubwa la watu, nawe una uwezo mwingi; hutapata kura moja tu;
18 but the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
lakini hiyo nchi ya vilima itakuwa ni yako; maana, ijapokuwa ni mwitu, wewe utaukata, na matokeo yake yatakuwa ni yako; kwa kuwa wewe utawafukuza hao Wakanaani, wajapokuwa wana magari ya chuma, wajapokuwa ni wenye uwezo.
