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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?”

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?

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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;

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.

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.”

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.
