Joshua 17

وَكَانَتِ الْقُرْعَةُ لِسِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ بِكْرُ يُوسُفَ. لِمَاكِيرَ بِكْرِ مَنَسَّى أَبِي جِلْعَادَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلَ حَرْبٍ، وَكَانَتْ جِلْعَادُ وَبَاشَانُ لَهُ.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

وَكَانَتْ لِبَنِي مَنَسَّى الْبَاقِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. لِبَنِي أَبِيعَزَرَ وَلِبَنِي حَالَقَ، وَلِبَنِي أَسْرِيئِيلَ، وَلِبَنِي شَكَمَ، وَلِبَنِي حَافَرَ، وَلِبَنِي شَمِيدَاعَ، هؤُلاَءِ هُمْ بَنُو مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، الذُّكُورُ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by 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 by their families.

وَأَمَّا صَلُفْحَادُ بْنُ حَافَرَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ بَلْ بَنَاتٌ. وَهذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنَاتِهِ: مَحْلَةُ وَنُوعَةُ وَحُجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

But 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.

فَتَقَدَّمْنَ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَأَمَامَ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونَ وَأَمَامَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَقُلْنَ: «الرَّبُّ أَمَرَ مُوسَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِنَا». فَأَعْطَاهُنَّ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَةِ أَبِيهِنَّ.

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

فَأَصَابَ مَنَسَّى عَشَرُ حِصَصٍ، مَا عَدَا أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ الَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

لأَنَّ بَنَاتِ مَنَسَّى أَخَذْنَ نَصِيبًا بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُ جِلْعَادَ لِبَنِي مَنَسَّى الْبَاقِينَ.

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

وَكَانَ تُخُمُ مَنَسَّى مِنْ أَشِيرَ إِلَى الْمَكْمَتَةِ الَّتِي مُقَابِلَ شَكِيمَ، وَامْتَدَّ التُّخُمُ نَحْوَ الْيَمِينِ إِلَى سُكَّانِ عَيْنِ تَفُّوحَ.

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En–tappuah.

كَانَ لِمَنَسَّى أَرْضُ تَفُّوحَ. وَأَمَّا تَفُّوحُ إِلَى تُخُمِ مَنَسَّى هِيَ لِبَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ.

Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

وَنَزَلَ التُّخُمُ إِلَى وَادِي قَانَةَ جَنُوبِيَّ الْوَادِي. هذِهِ مُدُنُ أَفْرَايِمَ بَيْنَ مُدُنِ مَنَسَّى. وَتُخُمُ مَنَسَّى شِمَالِيُّ الْوَادِي، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عَُِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ.

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ لأَفْرَايِمَ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ لِمَنَسَّى. وَكَانَ الْبَحْرُ تُخُمَهُ. وَوَصَلَ إِلَى أَشِيرَ شِمَالاً، وَإِلَى يَسَّاكَرَ نَحْوَ الشُّرُوقِ.

Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

وَكَانَ لِمَنَسَّى فِي يَسَّاكَرَ وَفِي أَشِيرَ بَيْتُ شَانَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَيَبْلَعَامُ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ دُوَرٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ عَيْنِ دُوَرٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ تَعْنَكَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانُ مَجِدُّو وَقُرَاهَا الْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ الثَّلاَثُ.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth–shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو مَنَسَّى أَنْ يَمْلِكُوا هذِهِ الْمُدُنَ، فَعَزَمَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ عَلَى السَّكَنِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ.

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

وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَشَدَّدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ، وَلَمْ يَطْرُدُوهُمْ طَرْدًا.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

وَكَلَّمَ بَنُو يُوسُفَ يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي قُرْعَةً وَاحِدَةً وَحِصَّةً وَاحِدَةً نَصِيبًا وَأَنَا شَعْبٌ عَظِيمٌ، لأَنَّهُ إِلَى الآنَ قَدْ بَارَكَنِيَ الرَّبُّ؟»

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ شَعْبًا عَظِيمًا، فَاصْعَدْ إِلَى الْوَعْرِ وَاقْطَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْضِ الْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ، إِذَا ضَاقَ عَلَيْكَ جَبَلُ أَفْرَايِمَ».

And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

فَقَالَ بَنُو يُوسُفَ: «لاَ يَكْفِينَا الْجَبَلُ. وَلِجَمِيعِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِ الْوَادِي مَرْكَبَاتُ حَدِيدٍ. لِلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ شَانٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَلِلَّذِينَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».

And the children of Joseph said, The hill 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 of Beth–shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

فَكَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ، أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى، قَائِلاً: «أَنْتَ شَعْبٌ عَظِيمٌ وَلَكَ قُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، لاَ تَكُونُ لَكَ قُرْعَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ.

And 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:

بَلْ يَكُونُ لَكَ الْجَبَلُ لأَنَّهُ وَعْرٌ، فَتَقْطَعُهُ وَتَكُونُ لَكَ مَخَارِجُهُ. فَتَطْرُدُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ لأَنَّ لَهُمْ مَرْكَبَاتِ حَدِيدٍ لأَنَّهُمْ أَشِدَّاءُ».

But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
