¹In to je bil delež Manasejevemu rodu – kajti on je bil Jožefov prvenec –: Mahirju, Manasejevemu prvencu, očetu Gileadovemu, sta se pridelila Gilead in Basan, zato ker je bil vojščak.

¹And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he [is] first-born of Joseph), for Machir first-born of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he hath been a man of war, and his are Gilead and Bashan.

²Drugi Manasejevi sinovi so dobili tudi delež po svojih rodovinah, namreč otroci Abiezerjevi, otroci Helekovi, otroci Asrielovi, otroci Sihemovi, otroci Heferjevi in otroci Semidovi: to so bili moški potomci Manaseja, sinu Jožefovega, po svojih rodovinah.

²And there is for the sons of Manasseh who are left, for their families; for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these [are] the children of Manasseh son of Joseph — the males — by their families.

³Ali Zelofad, sin Heferja, sina Gileada, sina Mahirja, sina Manaseja, ni imel sinov, ampak hčere, in njih imena so ta: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka in Tirza.

³As to Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, he hath no children except daughters, and these [are] the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah,

⁴Te stopijo pred duhovnika Eleazarja in pred Jozueta, sina Nunovega, in pred kneze in reko: GOSPOD je zapovedal Mojzesu, naj nam da dediščino med našimi brati. Zato jim je dal po zapovedi GOSPODOVI dediščino med brati njih očeta.

⁴and they draw near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, `Jehovah commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren;` and he giveth to them, at the command of Jehovah, an inheritance in the midst of the brethren of their father.

⁵In tako je pripadlo Manaseju deset delov razen Gileadske dežele in Basana, ki je vzhodno od Jordana;

⁵And ten portions fall [to] Manasseh, apart from the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [are] beyond the Jordan;

⁶kajti Manasejeve hčere so prejele dediščino med njegovimi sinovi, Gileadska dežela pa je pripadla drugim Manasejevim sinovom.

⁶for the daughters of Manasseh have inherited an inheritance in the midst of his sons, and the land of Gilead hath been to the sons of Manasseh who are left.

⁷In Manasejeva meja je šla od Aserja do Mikmetata, ki je pred Sihemom, in je šla dalje na desno k prebivalcem Entapuaha.

⁷And the border of Manasseh is from Asher to Michmethah, which [is] on the front of Shechem, and the border hath gone on unto the right, unto the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.

⁸Kajti pokrajina Tapuah je bila Manasejeva, ali Tapuah ob Manasejevi meji je bil Efraimovih sinov.

⁸To Manasseh hath been the land of Tappuah, and Tappuah unto the border of Manasseh is to the sons of Ephraim.

⁹Potem je šla meja doli k potoku Kani, južno od potoka; ta mesta so bila Efraimova sredi med Manasejevimi mesti. Pokrajina Manasejeva pa je bila na severni strani potoka in njen konec je bil pri morju:

⁹And the border hath come down [to] the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the border of Manasseh [is] on the north of the brook, and its outgoings are at the sea.

¹⁰južno je bila Efraimova, severno pa Manasejeva, in morje mu je bilo v mejo; do Aserja se je raztezala proti severu in do Isaharja proti jutru.

¹⁰Southward [is] to Ephraim and northward to Manasseh, and the sea is his border, and in Asher they meet on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

¹¹Manase pa je imel v Isaharju in v Aserju: Betsean in njemu podložne vasi in Ibleam in njemu podložne vasi, in prebivalce v Doru in njih podložne vasi in prebivalce v Endoru in njih podložne vasi in prebivalce v Taanahu in njih podložne vasi in prebivalce v Megidu in njih podložne vasi, tiste tri višine.

¹¹And Manasseh hath in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, three counties.

¹²Toda Manasejevi sinovi niso mogli pregnati prebivalcev tistih mest, in Kanaancem se je zljubilo ostati v tej deželi.

¹²And the sons of Manasseh have not been able to occupy these cities, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in this land,

¹³Ko pa so se ojačili Izraelovi sinovi, so podvrgli Kanaance davku, a jih niso dočista pregnali.

¹³and it cometh to pass when the sons of Israel have been strong, that they put the Canaanite to tribute, and have not utterly dispossessed him.

¹⁴Jožefovi sinovi pa so govorili z Jozuetom in rekli: Zakaj si dal meni samo en delež in del v dediščino, ko sem vendar veliko ljudstvo, ker me je doslej blagoslovil GOSPOD?

¹⁴And the sons of Joseph speak with Joshua, saying, `Wherefore hast thou given to me an inheritance — one lot and one portion, and I a numerous people? hitherto hath Jehovah blessed me.`

¹⁵In Jozue jim reče: Ako si veliko ljudstvo, pojdi gori v gozd in si iztrebi ondi v deželi Ferizejcev in Refaimov, ko ti je Efraimsko gorovje pretesno.

¹⁵And Joshua saith unto them, `If thou [art] a numerous people, go up for thee to the forest, then thou hast prepared for thee there, in the land of the Perizzite, and of the Rephaim, when mount Ephraim hath been narrow for thee.`

¹⁶A Jožefovi sinovi reko: To gorovje nam ne bode zadosti; vsi Kanaanci pa, ki prebivajo v ravnini, imajo železne vozove, i oni, ki so v Betseanu in njemu podložnih mestih, i oni, ki so na Jezreelski ravnini.

¹⁶And the sons of Joseph say, `The hill is not found to us, and a chariot of iron [is] with every Canaanite who is dwelling in the land of the valley — to him who [is] in Beth-Shean and its towns, and to him who [is] in the valley of Jezreel.`

¹⁷Tedaj reče Jozue Jožefovi hiši, Efraimu in Manaseju: Veliko si ljudstvo in veliko imaš moč, ne boš imel le enega deleža,ampak gorovje bodi tvoje; ker pa je gozd, posekaj ga in do koncev gozda bodi tvoje; zakaj ti preženeš Kanaance, čeprav imajo železne vozove in čeprav so močni.

¹⁷And Joshua speaketh unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, `Thou [art] a numerous people, and hast great power; thou hast not one lot [only],

¹⁸ampak gorovje bodi tvoje; ker pa je gozd, posekaj ga in do koncev gozda bodi tvoje; zakaj ti preženeš Kanaance, čeprav imajo železne vozove in čeprav so močni.

¹⁸because the mountain is thine; because it [is] a forest — thou hast prepared it, and its outgoings have been thine; because thou dost dispossess the Canaanite, though it hath chariots of iron — though it [is] strong.`
