Josue 17

1At ito ang kapalaran ng lipi ni Manases; sapagka't siya ang panganay ni Jose. Tungkol kay Machir na panganay ni Manases, na ama ni Galaad, sapagka't siya'y lalaking mangdidigma, ay kaniya ngang tinangkilik ang Galaad at ang Basan. 2At ang napasa ibang mga anak ni Manases ayon sa kanilang mga angkan, sa mga anak ng Abiezer, at sa mga anak ng Helec, at sa mga anak ng Esriel, at sa mga anak ng Sichem, at sa mga anak ng Hepher, at sa mga anak ng Semida; ang mga ito ang mga anak na lalake ni Manases na anak ni Jose, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan. 3Nguni't si Salphaad na anak ni Hepher, na anak ni Galaad na anak ni Machir, na anak ni Manases, ay hindi nagkaroon ng mga anak na lalake kundi mga babae: at ito ang mga pangalan ng kaniyang mga anak: Maala, at Noa, Hogla, Milcha, at Tirsa. 4At sila'y lumapit sa harap ni Eleazar na saserdote at sa harap ni Josue na anak ni Nun, at sa harap ng mga prinsipe, na sinasabi, Iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises na bigyan kami ng mana sa gitna ng aming mga kapatid: kaya't ayon sa utos ng Panginoon ay binigyan niya sila ng mana sa gitna ng mga kapatid ng kanilang ama. 5At nahulog ang sangpung bahagi kay Manases, bukod sa lupain ng Galaad at ang Basan, na nasa dako roon ng Jordan; 6Sapagka't ang mga anak na babae ni Manases ay nagkaroon ng mana sa gitna ng kaniyang mga anak; at ang lupain ng Galaad ay ukol sa nalabi sa mga anak ni Manases. 7At ang hangganan ng Manases ay mula sa Aser hanggang sa Michmetat, na nasa tapat ng Sichem; at ang hangganan ay patuloy sa kanan, hanggang sa mga taga En-tappua. 8Ang lupain ng Tappua ay ukol sa Manases: nguni't ang Tappua sa hangganan ng Manases ay ukol sa mga anak ni Ephraim. 9At ang hangganan ay pababa hanggang sa batis ng Cana, na dakong timugan ng batis: ang mga bayang ito ay ukol sa Ephraim sa gitna ng mga bayan ng Manases: at ang hangganan ng Manases ay nasa dakong hilagaan ng batis, at ang labasan niyaon ay sa dagat; 10Ang dakong timugan ay ang sa Ephraim, at ang dakong hilagaan ay ang sa Manases, at ang dagat ay hangganan niyaon; at abot sa Aser sa hilagaan at sa Issachar sa silanganan. 11At tinatangkilik ng Manases sa Issachar at sa Aser ang Beth-san at ang mga nayon niyaon, at ang Ibleam at ang mga nayon niyaon, at ang mga taga Dor, at ang mga nayon niyaon, at ang mga taga En-dor at ang mga nayon niyaon, at ang mga taga Taanach at ang mga nayon niyaon, at ang mga taga Megiddo, at ang mga nayon niyaon, ang tatlong kaitaasan. 12Gayon ma'y hindi napalayas ng mga anak ni Manases ang mga taga-roon sa mga bayang yaon; kundi ang mga Cananeo ay nanahan sa lupaing yaon. 13At nangyari, nang ang mga anak ni Israel ay lumakas, na kanilang inilagay ang mga Cananeo sa pagaatag, at hindi nila lubos na pinalayas. 14At ang mga anak ni Jose ay nagsalita kay Josue, na sinasabi, Bakit ang ibinigay mo sa akin ay isang kapalaran at isang bahagi lamang na pinakamana, dangang malaking bayan ako, sapagka't pinagpala ako hanggang ngayon ng Panginoon? 15At sinabi ni Josue sa kanila, Kung ikaw ay malaking bayan, sumampa ka sa gubat, at iyong malalawag doon sa iyong sarili ang lupain ng mga Pherezeo at ng mga Rephaim; yamang ang lupaing maburol ng Ephraim ay totoong makipot sa ganang iyo. 16At sinabi ng mga anak ni Jose, Ang lupaing maburol ay hindi sukat sa amin; at ang lahat ng mga Cananeo na tumatahan sa lupain ng libis ay may mga karong bakal, sila na tumatahan sa Beth-san at sa mga nayon niyaon, at gayon din sila na nasa libis ng Jezreel. 17At si Josue ay nagsalita sa sangbahayan ni Jose, ni Ephraim at ni Manases, na sinasabi, Ikaw ay malaking bayan, at may dakilang kapangyarihan: hindi marapat sa iyo ang isang kapalaran lamang: 18Kundi ang lupaing maburol ay magiging iyo; sapagka't bagaman isang gubat ay iyong malalawag, at ang labasan niyaon ay magiging iyo, sapagka't iyong palalayasin ang mga Cananeo, bagaman sila'y may mga karong bakal, at bagaman sila'y matibay.

1This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 2So this was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, for the children of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the children of Shechem, for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families. 3But 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, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father. 5Ten parts fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan; 6because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh. 7The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah. 8The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. 9The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and ended at the sea. 10Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. 11Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, in Asher Beth Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns. 12Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out. 14The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since I am a great people, because Yahweh has blessed me so far?” 15Joshua said to them, “If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.” 16The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.” 17Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a great people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only; 18but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”

1De stam van Manasse had ook een lot, omdat hij de eerstgeborene van Jozef was: te weten Machir, de eerstgeborene van Manasse, de vader van Gilead; omdat hij een krijgsman was, zo had hij Gilead en Bazan. 2Ook hadden de overgebleven kinderen van Manasse een lot, naar hun huisgezinnen; te weten de kinderen van Abiezer, en de kinderen van Helek, en de kinderen van Asriel, en de kinderen van Sechem, en de kinderen van Hefer, en de kinderen van Semida. Dit zijn de mannelijke kinderen van Manasse, den zoon van Jozef, naar hun huisgezinnen. 3Zelafead nu, de zoon van Hefer, den zoon van Gilead, den zoon van Machir, den zoon van Manasse, had geen zonen, maar dochters; en dit zijn de namen zijner dochteren: Machla en Noa, Hogla, Milka en Tirza. 4Dezen dan traden toe voor het aangezicht van Eleazar, den priester, en voor het aangezicht van Jozua, den zoon van Nun, en voor het aangezicht der oversten, zeggende: De HEERE heeft Mozes geboden, dat men ons een erfdeel geven zou in het midden onzer broederen. Daarom gaf hij haar, naar den mond des HEEREN, een erfdeel in het midden der broederen van haar vader. 5En aan Manasse vielen tien snoeren toe, behalve het land Gilead en Bazan, dat op gene zijde van de Jordaan is. 6Want de dochteren van Manasse erfden een erfdeel in het midden zijner zonen; en het land Gilead hadden de overgebleven kinderen van Manasse. 7Zodat de landpale van Manasse was van Aser af tot Michmetath, die voor aan Sichem is; en deze landpale gaat ter rechterhand tot aan de inwoners van En-Tappuah. 8Manasse had wel het land van Tappuah, maar Tappuah zelve, aan de landpale van Manasse, hadden de kinderen van Efraim. 9Daarna komt de landpale af naar de beek Kana tegen het zuiden der beek. Deze steden zijn van Efraim in het midden der steden van Manasse; en de landpale van Manasse is aan het noorden der beek, en haar uitgangen zijn aan de zee. 10Het was van Efraim tegen het zuiden, en tegen het noorden was het van Manasse, en de zee was zijn landpale; en aan het noorden stieten zij aan Aser, en aan het oosten aan Issaschar. 11Want Manasse had, in Issaschar en in Aser, Beth-Sean en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en Jibleam en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en de inwoners te Dor en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en de inwoners te En-Dor en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en de inwoners te Thaanach en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en de inwoners te Megiddo en haar onderhorige plaatsen: drie landstreken. 12En de kinderen van Manasse konden de inwoners van die steden niet verdrijven; want de Kanaanieten wilden in hetzelve land wonen. 13En het geschiedde, als de kinderen Israels sterk werden, zo maakten zij de Kanaanieten cijnsbaar; maar zij verdreven hen niet ganselijk. 14Toen spraken de kinderen van Jozef tot Jozua, zeggende: Waarom hebt gij mij ten erfdeel maar een lot en een snoer gegeven, daar ik toch een groot volk ben, voor zoveel de HEERE mij dus verre gezegend heeft? 15Jozua nu zeide tot henlieden: Dewijl gij een groot volk zijt, zo ga op naar het woud, en houw daar voor u af in het land der Ferezieten en der Refaieten, dewijl u het gebergte van Efraim te eng is. 16Toen zeiden de kinderen van Jozef: Dat gebergte zou ons niet genoegzaam zijn; er zijn ook ijzeren wagens bij alle Kanaanieten, die in het land des dals wonen, bij die te Beth-Sean en haar onderhorige plaatsen, en die in het dal van Jizreel zijn. 17Verder sprak Jozua tot het huis van Jozef, tot Efraim en tot Manasse, zeggende: Gij zijt een groot volk, en gij hebt grote kracht, gij zult geen een lot hebben; 18Maar het gebergte zal het uwe zijn; en dewijl het een woud is, zo houw het af, zo zullen zijn uitgangen de uwe zijn; want gij zult de Kanaanieten verdrijven, al hebben zij ijzeren wagens, al zijn zij sterk.
