Siosiua 17
1Then allotment was made to the people of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.
1PEA naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Manase; he ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Siosefa; kia Mekili ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo Manase, ko e tamai ʻa Kiliati: koeʻuhi ko e tangata tau ia, ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ai ʻa Kiliati mo Pesani.
2And allotments were made to the rest of the people of Manasseh by their clans, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, by their clans.
2Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki hono toe ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga: ki he faʻahinga ʻa Epiesa, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEleki, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEsileli, pea ki he fānau ʻa Sikemi, pea ki he fānau ʻa Hefeli pea ki he fānau ʻa Simita: ko e ngaahi fānau tangata eni ʻa Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
3Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
3Ka ko Sailofitati, ko e foha ʻo Hefeli, ko e foha ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ʻo Mekili, ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻikai hano foha, ka ko e ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ko Mala, mo Noa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Tilisa.
4They approached Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders and said, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So according to the mouth of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
4Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki he ʻao ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea ki he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimautolu hamau tofiʻa fakataha mo homau kāinga.” Ko ia naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo e kāinga ʻo ʻenau tamai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.
5Thus there fell to Manasseh ten portions, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,
5Pea naʻe hoko kia Manase ʻae ngaahi konga ʻe hongofulu, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fonua ʻo Kiliati mo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani;
6because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was allotted to the rest of the people of Manasseh.
6Koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu foki ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Manase hanau tofiʻa fakataha mo hono ngaahi foha: pea ko hono toe ʻoe foha ʻo Manase naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati.
7The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Michmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the boundary goes along southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
7Pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe potu ʻo Manase naʻe fai mei ʻAseli ki Mikimeta, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Sikemi; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hoko ki he kakai ʻo Enitapua.
8The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the boundary of Manasseh belonged to the people of Ephraim.
8Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻae fonua ko Tapua: ka ko Tapua ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Manase ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ia;
9Then the boundary went down to the brook Kanah. These cities, to the south of the brook, among the cities of Manasseh, belong to Ephraim. Then the boundary of Manasseh goes on the north side of the brook and ends at the sea,
9Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo Kana, ko e potu tonga ʻi he vaitafe: ko e ngaahi kolo ni ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻoku tuʻu fakataha mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase: ko e ngataʻanga foki ʻo Manase naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe vaitafe, pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki tahi:
10the land to the south being Ephraim’s and that to the north being Manasseh’s, with the sea forming its boundary. On the north Asher is reached, and on the east Issachar.
10Naʻe ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae potu tonga, pea ko e potu tokelau naʻe ʻo Manase ia, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e tahi: pea na fakataha ʻi ʻAseli ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻi ʻIsaka ʻi he potu hahake.
11Also in Issachar and in Asher Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, and Ibleam and its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Naphath.
11Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻi ʻIsaka, pea ʻi ʻAseli ʻa Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea mo e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Enitoa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, ʻio, ko e fonua ʻe tolu.
12Yet the people of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.
12Ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Manase ʻae kakai ʻoe ngaahi kolo ko ia; ka naʻe loto pe ʻae kau Kēnani kenau nonofo ʻi he fonua.
13Now when the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.
13Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke mālohi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kau Kēnani kenau tukuhau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
14Then the people of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, although I am a numerous people, since all along the LORD has blessed me?”
14Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Siosefa kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke foaki ai kiate au ʻae tofiʻa pe taha ke u maʻu, ka ko e kakai tokolahi au, he koeʻuhi kuo tāpuaki au maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova?”
15And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up by yourselves to the forest, and there clear ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ke fei mo ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ʻi ai maʻau, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Pelesi, pea mo e kakai lalahi, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ʻae moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi kiate koe.
16The people of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. Yet all the Canaanites who dwell in the plain have chariots of iron, both those in Beth-shean and its villages and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”
16Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Siosefa, ʻOku siʻi ʻae moʻunga kiate kimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻi he kau Kēnani kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he teleʻa, ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kau mo Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo kinautolu ʻoku kau mo e teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
17Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a numerous people and have great power. You shall not have one allotment only,
17Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he fale ʻo Siosefa, ʻio, kia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ʻoku ke mālohi lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ʻae tofiʻa pē taha:
18but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
18Ka ʻe ʻoʻou ʻae moʻunga; he ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ia: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: te ke kapusi ʻae kau Kēnani, neongo ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae saliote ʻaione, pea ʻoku nau mālohi.”
