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.

¹¶ A ko te rota tenei i te iwi o Manahi; ko ia hoki te matamua a Hohepa. I a Makiri, i te matamua a Manahi, matua o Kireara, i te mea he tangata hapai pakanga ia, i a ia a Kireara, a Pahana.

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.

²A ko te rota i era atu tama a Manahi, i o ratou hapu; i nga tama a Apietere, i nga tama a Hereke, i nga tama a Ahariere, i nga tama a Hekeme, i nga tama a Hewhere, i nga tama hoki a Hemira: ko nga tama enei a Manahi tama a Hohepa, i o ratou hapu.

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.

³Otiia kahore he tama a Teropehara, tama a Hewhere, tama a Kireara, tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi; engari he tamahine: a ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine, ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mireka, ko Tirita.

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.

⁴Na ka whakatata ratou ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro o Hohua tama a Nunu, ki te aroaro ano hoki o nga ariki, a ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa i a Mohi kia homai he kainga tupu ki a matou i roto i o matou tungane. Na homai ana e ia ki a ratou ta Ihowa i ki ai, he kainga tupu i roto i nga teina o to ratou papa.

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

⁵A tekau nga wahi i taka ki a Manahi, haunga te whenua o Kireara, o Pahana, i tawahi o Horano;

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

⁶No te mea i whiwhi nga tamahine a Manahi i te wahi tupu i roto i ana tama; a i riro te whenua o Kireara i nga tama a Manahi i mahue.

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.

⁷¶ A ko te rohe ki a Manahi kei a Ahera a tae noa ki Mikimeta, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Hekeme; a i haere tonu te rohe ki matau, ki nga tangata o Enetapua.

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

⁸I a Manahi te whenua o Tapua: ko Tapua ia i te rohe o Manahi, i nga tama a Eparaima tera.

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.

⁹A i puta atu te rohe ki te awa, ki Kana, whaka te tonga o te awa: ko enei pa no Eparaima i roto i nga pa o Manahi: a ko te rohe o Manahi i te taha tuaraki o te awa, a ko ona putanga kei te moana:

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.

¹⁰I a Eparaima te taha ki te tonga, a i a Manahi te taha ki te raki, a ko te moana te rohe ki a ia; a i tutaki raua ki a Ahera ki te raki, ki a Ihakara hoki ki te rawhiti.

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.

¹¹A i riro i a Manahi i roto i to Ihakara, i to Ahera, a Peteheana me ona pa ririki, a Ipireama me ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Eneroro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Taanaka, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki, ara e toru nga taumata.

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

¹²Otiia kihai i taea e nga tama a Manahi te pei nga tangata o aua pa; ko nga Kanaani ia i whakamate kia noho tonu i taua whenua.

¹³It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.

¹³Na, no ka kaha nga tama a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaimahi, a kahore i peia rawatia atu e ratou.

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?”

¹⁴¶ Na ka korero nga tama a Hohepa ki a Hohua, ka mea, Na te aha i kotahi tonu ai te rota, i kotahi ai te wahi i homai e koe ki ahau hei kainga tupu, he iwi nui nei hoki ahau, a he manaakitanga hoki ahau na Ihowa a mohoa noa nei?

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.”

¹⁵Na ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Ki te mea he iwi nui koe, haere ki te ngahere tua ai he wahi mau i reira, i te whenua o nga Perihi ratou ko nga Repaima; ina hoki he kuiti rawa te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima mou.

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.”

¹⁶Na ka mea nga tama a Hohepa, He iti rawa te whenua pukepuke mo matou: a ko nga Kanaani katoa e noho ana i te wahi mania he hariata o ratou, o era e noho ra i Peteheana, i ona pa ririki, o era hoki i te mania i Ietereere.

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;

¹⁷Na ka korero a Hohua ki te whare o Hohepa, ki a Eparaima raua ko Manahi, ka mea, He iwi nui koe, he nui hoki tou kaha: e kore e kotahi tonu te rota mou:

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.”

¹⁸Engari mou ano te whenua pukepuke; ahakoa hoki he ngahere ia, mau e tua, a mou ona putanga atu; ka peia atu hoki e koe nga Kanaani, he ahakoa to ratou whai hariata rino, me to ratou kaha.
