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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.»

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 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.»

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.

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.»

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.

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,

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:

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.»

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.
