1 T here 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.

وَتَمَّ تَحدِيدُ أرْضِ قَبِيلَةِ مَنَسَّى، بِكْرِ يُوسُفَ، بِالقُرعَةِ. فَقَدْ أُعطِيَتْ جِلعادُ وَباشانُ لِنسلِ ماكِيرَ بِكْرِ مَنَسَّى، وَأبِي جِلعادَ، لِأنَّهُ كانَ مُحارِباً شَدِيداً.

2 T here 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.

أمَّا باقِي شَعبِ مَنَسَّى، الذي أُعْطِيَ حِصَّةً من الأرْض، فأَخَذُوا بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِمْ، لِنَسلِ أبِيعَزَرَ وَحالَقَ وَأسْرِيئِيلَ وَشَكَمَ وَحافَرَ وَشَمِيداعَ. فَهَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الأبناءُ الذُّكُورُ لِمَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِمْ.

3 B ut 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.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِصَلُفْحادَ بْنِ حافَرَ بْنِ جِلعادَ بْنِ ماكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسِّى أولادٌ ذُكُورٌ، فَقَدْ كانَ لَهُ بَناتٌ فَقَطْ. وَهَذَهِ هِيَ أسماءُ بَناتِهِ: مَحلَةُ وَنَوْعَةُ وَحُجلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

4 A nd 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.

فَأتَينَ إلَى ألِعازَرَ الكاهِنِ وَيَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونَ وَالقادَةِ وَقُلْنَ: «أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى بِأنْ يُعطِيَنا مِيراثاً فِي وَسَطِ أقرِبائِنا الذُّكُورِ.» فَأعطاهُنَّ مِيراثاً مَعَ أعْمامِهِنَّ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ.

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

فَنالَتْ قَبِيلَةُ مَنَسَّى عَشْرَ حِصَصٍ مِنَ الأرْضِ بِالإضافَةِ إلَى أرْضِ جِلْعادَ وَباشانَ فِي الجِهَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ مِنْ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ،

6 b ecause the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.

لِأنَّ بَناتَ مَنَسَّى أخَذْنَ مِيراثاً مَعَ أبنائِهِ الذُّكُورِ. وَكانَتْ أرْضُ جِلعادَ لِبَقِيَّةِ نَسلِ مَنَسَّى.

7 A nd 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.

وَيَمتَدُّ حَدُّ مَنَسَّى مِنْ أشِيرَ إلَى مَكْمَتَةَ الَّتِي تَقَعُ مُقابِلَ شَكِيمَ. ثُمَّ يَتَّجِهُ إلَى الجَنُوبِ إلَى سُكّانِ عَينِ تَفُّوحَ.

8 N ow Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

وَكانَتْ أرْضُ تَفُّوحَ لِمَنَسَّى. وَأمّا مَدِينَةُ تَفُّوحَ الَّتِي عَلَى حُدُودِ أرْضِ مَنَسَّى فَكانَتْ لِقَبِيلَةِ أفْرايِمَ.

9 a nd 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:

ثُمَّ يَنزِلُ الحَدُّ إلَى وادِي قانَةَ. وَكانَتِ المُدُنُ الواقِعَةُ إلَى الجَنُوبِ مِنَ الوادِي فِي وَسَطِ مُدُنِ المَنَسِّيِّينَ لِأفرايِمَ، وَلَكِنَّ حُدُودَ مَنَسَّى كانَتْ شَمالِ الوادِي، وَقَدِ انتَهَتْ عِندَ البَحْرِ.

10 s outhward 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.

الأرْضُ الَّتِي فِي الجَنُوبِ كانَتْ لِأفرايِمَ، وَالأرْضُ الَّتِي فِي الشَّمالِ كانَتْ لِمَنَسَّى. وَكانَ البَحرُ هُوَ حَدُّ مَنَسَّى الغَربِيُّ، وَقَدْ وَصَلَ حَدُّهُمْ إلَى أشِيرَ فِي الشَّمالِ وَإلَى يَسّاكَرَ فِي الشَّرقِ.

11 A nd 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.

وَفِي داخِلَ أرْضِ أشِيرَ وَيَسّاكَرَ كانَ لِمَنَسَّى المُدُنُ التّالِيَةُ: بَيتُ شانَ وَيَبلَعامُ وَقُراهُما، وَسُكّانُ دُورَ وَعْينُ دُورَ وَتَعْنَكَ وَمَجِدُّو وَقُراها جَمِيعاً، وَكَذَلِكَ التِّلالُ الثَّلاثَةُ.

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

وَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ شَعبُ مَنَسَّى مِنَ امتِلاكِ هَذَهِ المُدُنِ، فَبَقِيَ الكَنعانِيُّونَ ساكِنَينَ فِي هَذِهِ الأرْضِ.

13 Y et 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.

وَحِينَ قَوِيَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ، أجبَرُوا الكَنعانِيِّينَ عَلَى العَمَلِ كَعَبِيدٍ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَطرُدُوهُمْ تَماماً.

14 A nd 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?

وَقالَتْ عَشِيرَةُ يُوسُفَ لِيَشُوعَ: «لِماذا أعطَيتَنا قُرْعَةً واحِدَةً وَحَصَّةً واحِدَةً مِيراثاً لَنا؟ إنَّنا شَعبٌ كَبِيرٌ لِأنَّ اللهَ بارَكَنا حَتَّى الآنَ.»

15 A nd 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.

فَقالَ يَشُوعُ لَهُمْ: «إنْ كُنْتُمْ شَعباً كَبِيراً فاصعَدُوا إلَى الغابَةِ، وَاقطَعُوا الأشجارَ مِنها لِتُعِدُّوا لَكُمْ مَكاناً فِي أرْضِ الفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفائِيِّينَ، لِأنَّ أرْضَ أفْرايِمَ الجَبَلِيَّةَ صَغِيرَةٌ عَلَيكُمْ.»

16 A nd 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.

فَقالَ شَعبُ يُوسُفَ: «المِنطَقَةُ الجَبَلِيَّةُ غَيرُ كافِيَةٍ لَنا، وَلَكِنَّ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ السّاكِنِينَ فِي الوادِي يَملِكُونَ مَركَباتٍ حَدِيدِيَّةً فِي بَيتِ شانَ وَقُراها فِي وادِي يَزرَعِيلَ.»

17 A nd 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:

ثُمَّ قالَ يَشُوعُ لِشَعبِ يُوسُفَ، أفْرايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى: «إنَّكُمْ شَعبٌ كَبِيرٌ وَلَدَيكُمْ قُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ. لَنْ تَكُونَ لَكُمْ حِصَّةٌ واحِدَةٌ مِنَ الأرْضِ،

18 b ut 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.

فَالمِنطَقَةُ الجَبَلِيَّةُ سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ. فَمَعْ أنَّها غاباتٌ، لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَقطَعُونَ الأشجارَ وَتُمَهِّدُونَها وَتَمتَلِكُونَها. وَسَتَطرُدُونَ الكَنعانِيِّينَ مَعَ أنَّهُمْ أقوِياءُ وَلَدَيهِمْ مَركَباتٌ حَدِيدِيَّةٌ.»
