¹Ndiwo mugove worudzi rwaManase; nekuti iye wakange ari mwana wedangwe waJosefa. Kana ari Makiri, mwana wedangwe waManase, baba vaGiriyadhi, iye wakapiwa Giriyadhi neBhashani, nekuti wakange ari murwi.

¹And [this] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

²Vamwe vana vaManase vakapiwa mugove nemhuri dzavo: Vana vaAbhiezeri, navana vaHereki, navana vaAsirieri, navana vaShekemu, navana vaHeferi, navana vaShemidha, ndivo vakanga vari vana vavakomana vaManase, mwanakomana waJosefa, nemhuri dzavo.

²So [the lot] was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to 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 according to their families.

³Asi Zerofeadhi, mwanakomana waHeferi, mwanakomana waGiriyadhi, mwanakomana waMakiri, mwanakomana waManase, wakange asina vanakomana, asi vanasikana chete; mazita avanasikana vake akanga ari Mara, naNowa, naHogira, naMirika, naTiriza.

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.

⁴Ivo vakaswedera kumupristi Ereazari, nokuna Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni, nokumachinda, vakati, Jehovha wakaraira Mozisi kuti atipe nhaka pakati pehama dzedu; naizvozvo akavapa nhaka pakati pavanin'ina vababa vavo, sezvakanga zvarairwa naJehovha.

⁴And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

⁵Manase akapiwa migove ine gumi, kunze kweGiriyadhi neBhashani mhiri kwaJoridhani;

⁵And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;

⁶nekuti vanasikana vaManase vakanga vane nhaka pakati pavanakomana vake; nyika yeGiriyadhi yakanga iri yavamwe vanakomana vaManase.

⁶because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

⁷Muganhu waManase wakabva kwaAsheri, ndokusvika paMikimetati, pamberi peShekemu; zvino muganhu ndokuenda kuruoko rworudyi, kusvikira kuvanhu vakanga vagere Eni-tapua.

⁷And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

⁸Nyika yeTapua yakanga iri yaManase; asi Tapua pamuganhu waManase rakanga riri guta ravana vaEfuremu.

⁸The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

⁹Zvino muganhu ndokuburuka kurukova Kana, nechezasi korukova; maguta iwayo akanga ari aEfuremu, pakati pamaguta aManase; muganhu waManase wakange uri nechokumusoro korukova, ndokuguma pagungwa.

⁹And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:

¹⁰Kurutivi rwezasi nyika yakanga iri yaEfuremu; kurutivi rwokumusoro yakanga iri yaManase; gungwa waiva muganhu wake; miganhu ikasvika kwaAsheri kumusoro, nokwaIsakari kumabvazuva.

¹⁰southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.

¹¹Pakati palsakari naAsheri Manase wakange ane Bhetisheani nemisha yaro, neJibhireami nemisha yaro, navanhu vakanga vagere Dhori

¹¹And Manasseh had 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, even the three heights.

¹²Asi vana vaManase vakanga vasingagoni kudzinga vanhu vakanga vagere mumaguta iwayo; asi vaKanani vakaramba vachida kugara panyika iyo.

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

¹³Zvino vana vaIsiraeri vakati vava nesimba, vakaita vaKanani vabati vechibharo, havana kuvadzinga chose.

¹³And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.

¹⁴Zvino vana vaJosefa vakataura naJoshua, vakati, Makatipireiko mugove mumwe chete nechikamu chimwe chete, kuti ive nhaka yedu, zvatiri vanhu vazhinji, nekuti Jehovha wakatiropafadza kusvikira zvino?

¹⁴And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me?

¹⁵Joshua akati kwavari, Kana muri vanhu vazhinji, endai henyu kudondo, mundozvitemera nzvimbo ipapo panyika yavaPerezi neyavaRefaimu; zvamusingakwaniri panyika yamakomo yaEfuremu.,

¹⁵And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

¹⁶Vana vaJosefa vakati, Nyika yamakomo haingatikwaniri; uye vaKanani vose vanogara munyika yomupata vane ngoro dzamatare, ivo vose vari paBhetisheani nemisha yaro, navari mumupata weJezireeri.

¹⁶And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country 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 in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.

¹⁷Zvino Joshua akataura naveimba yaJosefa, ivo vaEfuremu navaManase, akati, imwi muri vanhu vazhinji, mune simba guru, hamungavi nomugove mumwe chete;

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:

¹⁸asi nyika yamakomo ichava yenyu; nekuti kunyange riri dondo, muchafanira kuritema, mabudiro aro ose agova enyu; nekuti munofanira kudzinga vaKanani, kunyange vane ngoro dzamatare, uye kunyange vane simba.

¹⁸but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
