¹There 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.

¹وكانت القرعة لسبط منسّى. لانه هو بكر يوسف. لماكير بكر منسّى ابي جلعاد لانه كان رجل حرب وكانت جلعاد وباشان له.

²There 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.

²وكانت لبني منسّى الباقين حسب عشائرهم. لبني ابيعزر ولبني حالق ولبني اسريئيل ولبني شكم ولبني حافر ولبني شميداع هؤلاء هم بنو منسّى بن يوسف الذكور حسب عشائرهم.

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, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

³واما صلفحاد بن حافر بن جلعاد بن ماكير بن منسّى فلم يكن له بنون بل بنات. وهذه اسماء بناته محلة ونوعة وحجلة وملكة وترصة.

⁴And 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.

⁴فتقدمن امام العازار الكاهن وامام يشوع بن نون وامام الرؤساء وقلن. الرب أمر موسى ان يعطينا نصيبا بين اخوتنا. فاعطاهنّ حسب قول الرب نصيبا بين اخوة ابيهنّ.

⁵And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

⁵فاصاب منسّى عشر حصص ما عدا ارض جلعاد وباشان التي في عبر الاردن.

⁶Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

⁶لان بنات منسّى اخذن نصيبا بين بنيه وكانت ارض جلعاد لبني منسّى الباقين.

⁷And 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 Entappuah.

⁷وكان تخم منسّى من اشير الى المكمتة التي مقابل شكيم وامتد التخم نحو اليمين الى سكان عين تفوح.

⁸Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

⁸كان لمنسّى ارض تفوح. واما تفوح الى تخم منسّى هي لبني افرايم.

⁹And 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:

⁹ونزل التخم الى وادي قانة جنوبي الوادي. هذه مدن افرايم بين مدن منسّى. وتخم منسّى شمالي الوادي وكانت مخارجه عند البحر.

¹⁰Southward 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.

¹⁰من الجنوب لافرايم ومن الشمال لمنسّى وكان البحر تخمه. ووصل الى اشير شمالا والى يساكر نحو الشروق.

¹¹And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean 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.

¹¹وكان لمنسّى في يساكر وفي اشير بيت شان وقراها ويبلعام وقراها وسكان دور وقراها وسكان عين دور وقراها وسكان تعنك وقراها وسكان مجدّو وقراها المرتفعات الثلاث.

¹²Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

¹²ولم يقدر بنو منسّى ان يملكوا هذه المدن فعزم الكنعانيون على السكن في تلك الارض.

¹³Yet 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.

¹³وكان لما تشدد بنو اسرائيل انهم جعلوا الكنعانيين تحت الجزية ولم يطردوهم طردا

¹⁴And 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?

¹⁴وكلم بنو يوسف يشوع قائلين. لماذا اعطيتني قرعة واحدة وحصّة واحدة نصيبا وانا شعب عظيم لانه الى الآن قد باركني الرب.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵فقال لهم يشوع ان كنت شعبا عظيما فاصعد الى الوعر واقطع لنفسك هناك في ارض الفرزّيين والرفائيين. اذا ضاق عليك جبل افرايم.

¹⁶And 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 Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

¹⁶فقال بنو يوسف لا يكفينا الجبل. ولجميع الكنعانيين الساكنين في ارض الوادي مركبات حديد. للذين في بيت شان وقراها وللذين في وادي يزرعيل.

¹⁷And 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:

¹⁷فكلم يشوع بيت يوسف افرايم ومنسّى قائلا. انت شعب عظيم ولك قوة عظيمة لا تكون لك قرعة واحدة.

¹⁸But 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.

¹⁸بل يكون لك الجبل لانه وعر فتقطعه وتكون لك مخارجه. فتطرد الكنعانيين لان لهم مركبات حديد لانهم اشداء
