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 Woone mo, nga no ga ti Manasse kunda baa, zama nga no ga ti Yusufu hay-jina. Macir, Manasse hay-jina ciine ra, kaŋ ga ti Jileyad baaba, zama nga wo boro no kaŋ ga wongu. Woodin se no a du Jileyad da Basan laabey.
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.
2 Manasse ize cindey mo, i almayaaley boŋ no i fay-fay i se: Abiyezer, da Helek, da Azriyel, da Sekem, da Hefer, da Semida almayaaley. Ngey no ga ti Yusufu izo Manasse ize arey waney, i almayaaley boŋ.
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.
3 Amma Zelofehad, Hefer izo, Jileyad ize, Macir ize, Manasse ize, a sinda ize alboro, kala wayboroyaŋ. A ize wayey maayey neeya: Mala, da Noha, da Hogla, da Milka, da 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.
4 I maan ka to Alfa Eliyezar da Yasuwa Nun izo da jama jine borey jine. I ne: «Rabbi na Musa lordi ka ne a m'iri no tubu iri nya-izey game ra.» Woodin se no, Rabbi lordo boŋ Yasuwa n'i no tubu ngey baaba nya-izey game ra.
5Ten parts fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
5 Kanandi way no Manasse du, Jileyad da Basan kaŋ yaŋ go Urdun daaranta baa si,
6because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
6 zama Manasse ize wayey gonda tubu a ize arey banda. Jileyad laabo mo, Manasse ize cindey wane no.
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 Manasse hirro mo tun za Aser ka koy Mikmetat, kaŋ go Sekem jine. Hirro ye ka gana kambe ŋwaari haray ka koy hala En-Tappuwa.
8The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
8 Tappuwa laabo mo Manasse wane no. Amma Tappuwa, kaŋ go Manasse hirro boŋ, Ifraymu izey wane no.
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.
9 Hirro zulli mo ka koy kala Kana gooro gaa, gooro se dandi kamba. Birni woodin yaŋ, Ifraymu wane yaŋ no Manasse birney ra. Manasse hirro mo go gooro se azawa kambe, kaŋ koy ka kay teeko gaa.
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.
10 Dandi kamba Ifraymu wane no, azawa kamba mo Manasse wane no, teeko no ga ti i hirro. I to Aser azawa kamba haray, da Isakar mo wayna funay haray.
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.
11 Isakar da Aser ra Manasse gonda Bayt-Seyan da nga kwaarey, da Ibleyam da nga kwaarey, da Dor gorokoy da ngey kwaarey, da En-Dor gorokoy da ngey kwaarey, da Taanak da nga kwaarey, da Mejiddo gorokoy da ngey kwaarey, danga tudu hinza nooya.
12Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
12 Amma Manasse izey mana hin ka birney din gorokoy gaaray, yaadin gaa Kanaanancey, kal i ma ngey goray te laabo din ra.
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.
13 A ciya mo, saaya kaŋ cine Israyla izey ga te gaabi, i ga tamtaray goy dake Kanaanancey boŋ, amma i mana i kulu gaaray pat-pat bo.
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 Kala Yusufu izey salaŋ Yasuwa se ka ne: «Ifo se no ni n'ay no baa folloŋ hinne, da hirri folloŋ tubu se, ay kaŋ go, ay ya kunda bambata no? Woodin banda mo, Rabbi n'ay albarkandi.»
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.”
15 Yasuwa binde ne i se: «Da day ni ya kunda bambata no, ma tun ka koy saaji beero ra ka zooru ni boŋ se noodin Perizancey laabo ra, da Refayim laabu, za kaŋ Ifraymu tondey laabo kankam ni se.»
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.”
16 Yusufu izey ne a se: «Tondey laabo mana wasa iri se. Amma Kanaanancey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro gooro batamey ra, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ go Bayt-Seyan d'a kwaarey kulu ra, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Yezreyel gooro ra, i kulu gonda guuru torkoyaŋ.»
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;
17 Kala Yasuwa salaŋ Yusufu kunda se, kaŋ ga ti Ifraymu da Manasse, ka ne: «Ni ya kunda bambata no, ni gonda gaabi gumo. Ni si du baa folloŋ hinne bo,
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.”
18 amma tondey laabo ga goro ni wane-taray ra, zama baa kaŋ saaji fimbi no, ni g'a beeri. Hal a hirrey me mo, i ga ciya ni wane, zama ni ga Kanaanancey gaaray, baa kaŋ i gonda guuru torkoyaŋ, i gonda gaabi mo.»
