Joshua 17

Så fikk Manasse stamme sin arvelodd, for han var Josefs førstefødte. Makir, Manasses førstefødte sønn, gileadittenes stamfar, fikk Gilead og Basan, fordi han var en stridsmann.

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.

Manasses andre barn fikk og arvelodd efter sine ætter: Abiesers barn og Heleks barn og Asriels barn og Sekems barn og Hefers barn og Semidas barn; dette var Manasses, Josefs sønns barn på mannssiden, efter sine ætter.

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.

Men Selofhad, en sønn av Hefer, som var sønn av Gilead og sønnesønn av Makir, Manasses sønn, hadde ikke sønner, men bare døtre; og dette var navnene på hans døtre: Mahla og Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirsa.

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.

De gikk frem for Eleasar, presten, og for Josva, Nuns sønn, og høvdingene og sa: Herren bød Moses at han skulde gi oss arv midt iblandt våre brødre. Så fikk de efter Herrens ord arv midt iblandt sin fars brødre.

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.

Således falt det ti deler på Manasse, foruten Gilead- og Basan-landet på hin side Jordan.

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

For Manasses døtre fikk arv midt iblandt hans sønner, og Gilead-landet hadde Manasses andre barn fått.

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

Og Manasses grense gikk fra Aser til Mikmetat, som ligger midt imot Sikem; så tok grensen til høire til En-Tappuah-bygden.

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.

Manasse fikk Tappuah-landet, men Tappuah selv på grensen av Manasse tilfalt Efra'ims barn.

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

Så gikk grensen ned til Kana-bekken, sønnenfor bekken; men byene der tilfalt Efra'im, enda de lå mellem Manasses byer. Derfra gikk Manasses grense nordenfor bekken og endte ute ved havet.

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:

Alt som lå sønnenfor, tilfalt Efra'im, og det som lå nordenfor, tilfalt Manasse, og havet blev hans grense; og i nord støtte de op til Aser og i øst til Issakar.

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.

I Issakar og i Aser fikk Manasse Bet-Sean med tilhørende småbyer og Jibleam med tilhørende småbyer og innbyggerne i Dor med tilhørende småbyer og innbyggerne i En-Dor med tilhørende småbyer og innbyggerne i Ta'anak med tilhørende småbyer og innbyggerne i Megiddo med tilhørende småbyer, de tre høidedrag.

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.

Men Manasses barn maktet ikke å innta disse byer, og det lyktes kana'anittene å bli boende der i landet.

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

Da Israels barn siden blev sterkere, gjorde de kana'anittene arbeidspliktige, men de drev dem ikke bort.

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.

Og Josefs barn talte til Josva og sa: Hvorfor har du gitt mig bare én lodd og én arvedel, enda jeg er et stort folk, fordi Herren hittil har velsignet mig?

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?

Da sa Josva til dem: Er du så stort et folk, så gå op i skogen og rydd dig jord der i ferisittenes og refa'ittenes land, siden Efra'ims fjellbygd er for trang for dig.

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.

Men Josefs barn sa: Fjellbygden strekker ikke til for oss, og kana'anittene som bor i dalbygdene, har alle sammen jernvogner, både de som bor i Bet-Sean med tilhørende småbyer, og de som bor i Jisre'els dal.

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.

Da sa Josva til Josefs hus, til Efra'im og Manasse: Du er et stort folk og har stor styrke; du skal ikke ha bare én lodd,

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:

men en fjellbygd skal du få, og da det er skog der, skal du hugge den ned, så endog dens utkanter skal tilhøre dig; for du skal drive bort kana'anittene, om de enn har jernvogner og er sterke.

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.
