约书亚记 17
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
玛拿西半支派的分地
17 玛拿西是约瑟的长子，他的支派抽签所得的地业记在下面；至于玛拿西的长子，基列的父亲玛吉，因为是个战士，所以得到基列和巴珊。 2 玛拿西其余的子孙按着家族抽签分地，包括亚比以谢的子孙、希勒的子孙、亚斯列的子孙、示剑的子孙、希弗的子孙、示米大的子孙；这些都是约瑟的儿子玛拿西子孙中男丁的各家族。 3 玛拿西的玄孙、玛吉的曾孙、基列的孙子、希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子，只有女儿；他女儿们的名字是玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。 4 她们来到以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚，以及众首领的面前，说：“耶和华曾经吩咐摩西，在我们的兄弟中把产业分给我们。”于是约书亚照着耶和华所吩咐的，在她们的叔伯中间，把产业分给她们。 5 这样，除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外，还有十份地业归属玛拿西。 6 因为玛拿西的孙女，在玛拿西的孩子中，也得了产业；基列地是属于玛拿西其余的子孙的。 7 玛拿西的疆界，是从亚设起，到示剑东面的密米他；又向南走，到隐．他普亚的居民那里。 8 （他普亚地是属于玛拿西的，但是在玛拿西疆界上的他普亚城，却是属于以法莲的子孙的。） 9 玛拿西的疆界又下到加拿河，在加拿河的南边，玛拿西的众城镇中，有这些城镇是属于以法莲的。玛拿西的疆界，从河的北面起，直通到海。 10 南面是属于以法莲的，北面是属于玛拿西的；玛拿西在西边的疆界就是海，北面与亚设相接，东面和以萨迦相连； 11 在以萨迦和亚设的境内，伯．善和属于伯．善的市镇，以伯莲和属于以伯莲的市镇，多珥的居民和属于多珥的市镇，都属于玛拿西；还有三处山区，就是：隐．多珥的居民和属于隐．多珥的市镇，他衲的居民和属于他衲的市镇，米吉多的居民和属于米吉多的市镇。 12 可是玛拿西的子孙却不能把这些城的居民赶走，迦南人决意住在那地。 13 以色列人强盛以后，就迫使迦南人作苦工，却没有把他们完全赶出去。
约瑟的子孙获地两份
14 约瑟的子孙对约书亚说：“耶和华这样赐福我们，我们族大人多，你为甚么只给我们抽一份签，分一份地作产业呢？” 15 约书亚对他们说：“如果你们族大人多，又嫌以法莲山地过于窄小，就可以上森林区去，在比利洗人和利乏音人之地那里自己砍伐树木。” 16 约瑟的子孙回答：“那山地容不下我们，并且住在谷地的所有迦南人，就是住在伯．善和属于伯．善的市镇的人，以及住在耶斯列谷的人，都有铁车。” 17 约书亚对约瑟家，就是对以法莲人和玛拿西人说：“你们族大人多，势力强大，不可以只抽一份地业； 18 山地也要归给你们，那里虽然是森林，你们可以砍伐，开辟的土地都归给你们，直到它最远的边界；迦南人虽然拥有铁车，势力强大，你们也能把他们赶出去。”
Joshua 17
King James Version
17 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 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 Entappuah.
8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
9 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:
10 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.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean 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.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 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.
14 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?
15 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.
16 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 Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
17 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:
18 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.
Yehoshua 17
Orthodox Jewish Bible
17 There was also a goral (lot) for the tribe of Menasheh; for he was the bechor of Yosef; Machir was the bechor of Menasheh and the av of Gil`ad, and because he was an ish milchamah, therefore he got Gil`ad and Bashan.
2 There was also a goral (lot) for the rest of the Bnei Menasheh by their mishpekhot; for the Bnei Aviezer, for the Bnei Chelek, for the Bnei Asriel, for the Bnei Shechem, for the Bnei Chepher, and for the Bnei Shemida; these were the zekharim of the Menasheh ben Yosef by their mishpekhot.
3 But Tzelophechad ben Chepher ben Gil‘ad ben Machir ben Menasheh had no banim, but banot; and these are the shmot of his banot, Machlah, and Noah, Choglah, Milcah, and Tirtzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar HaKohen, and before Yehoshua ben Nun, and before the nasi’im saying, Hashem commanded Moshe to give us a nachalah among acheinu. Therefore according to the commandment of Hashem he gave them a nachalah among the achim of their av.
5 And there fell ten tracts of land to Menasheh, in addition to Eretz Gil‘ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Yarden;
6 Because the banot of Menasheh had inherited a nachalah among his banim; and the rest of the Bnei Menasheh had Eretz Gil‘ad.
7 And the boundary of Menasheh was from Asher to Michmetat, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary ran along to the right to the inhabitants of Ein Tapuach.
8 Now Menasheh had Eretz Tapuach; but Tapuach on the border of Menasheh belonged to the Bnei Ephrayim;
9 And the boundary descended unto the Wadi Kanah, southward of the Wadi; these towns of Ephrayim are among the towns of Menasheh; the boundary of Menasheh also was on the north side of the Wadi, and ended at the Yam;
10 Southward it was Ephrayim’s, and northward it was Menasheh’s, and the Yam is its boundary; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Yissakhar on the east.
11 And Menasheh had in Yissakhar and in Asher Beit Sh’an and its towns, and Yivleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ein-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, sheloshet (three) of Nafet.
12 Yet the Bnei Menasheh could not drive out the inhabitants of those towns; but the Kena’ani persisted dwelling in that land.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the Bnei Yisroel increased in chozek (strength) that they put the Kena’ani to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.
14 And the Bnei Yosef spoke unto Yehoshua, saying, Why hast thou given me for a nachalah but one goral and one chevel (portion, lot) to inherit, seeing I am an am rav, forasmuch as Hashem hath blessed me hitherto?
15 And Yehoshua answered them, If thou be an am rav, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the Eretz HaPerizzi and HaRepha’im, if Har Ephrayim be too small for thee.
16 And the Bnei Yosef said, The har is not enough for us; and all the Kena’ani that dwell in the eretz haemek have chariots of barzel (iron), both they who are of Beit Sh’an and her towns, and they who are of the emek Yizre’el.
17 And Yehoshua spoke unto Bais Yosef, even to Ephrayim and to Menasheh, saying, Thou art an am rav, and hast ko’ach gadol; thou shalt not have goral echad only;
18 But the har shall be thine; for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down; and the rest of the cleared land shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Kena’ani, though they have chariots of barzel (iron), and though they be chazak.
