1 ¶ There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh and father of Gilead, who was a man of war, had Gilead and Bashan.

Estas foram as terras distribuídas à tribo de Manassés, filho mais velho de José. Foram entregues a Maquir, filho mais velho de Manassés. Maquir, pai de Gileade, guerreiro valente, recebeu Gileade e Basã.

2 T here was also a lot for the rest of the sons of Manasseh by their families: for the sons of Abiezer and for the sons of Helek and for the sons of Asriel and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher and for the sons of Shemida: these were the male sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

Também foram dadas terras para os clãs dos outros filhos de Manassés: Abiezer, Heleque, Asriel, Siquém, Héfer e Semida. Esses são os filhos homens de Manassés, filho de José, de acordo com os seus clãs.

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, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Zelofeade, porém, filho de Héfer, neto de Gileade, bisneto de Maquir, trineto de Manassés, não teve nenhum filho, somente filhas. Seus nomes eram Maalá, Noa, Hogla, Milca e Tirza.

4 A nd they came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the princes and said, 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.

Elas foram ao sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, filho de Num, e aos líderes, e disseram: “O Senhor ordenou a Moisés que nos desse uma herança entre os nossos parentes”. Josué deu-lhes então uma herança entre os irmãos de seu pai, de acordo com a ordem do Senhor.

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

A tribo de Manassés recebeu dez quinhões de terra, além de Gileade e Basã, que ficam a leste do Jordão,

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.

pois tanto as descendentes de Manassés como os filhos dele receberam herança. A terra de Gileade ficou para os outros descendentes de Manassés.

7 ¶ And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, which is before Shechem; and this border goes along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah.

O território de Manassés estendia-se desde Aser até Micmetá, a leste de Siquém. A fronteira ia dali para o sul, chegando até o povo que vivia em En-Tapua.

8 N ow Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but the Tappuah next to the border of Manasseh belongs to the sons of Ephraim;

As terras de Tapua eram de Manassés, mas a cidade de Tapua, na fronteira de Manassés, pertencia aos efraimitas.

9 A nd this border descends to the river Kanah towards the Negev of the river. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh; and the border of Manasseh is from the north side of the same river, and it comes out at the sea.

Depois a fronteira descia até o ribeiro de Caná. Ao sul do ribeiro havia cidades pertencentes a Efraim que ficavam em meio às cidades de Manassés, mas a fronteira de Manassés ficava ao norte do ribeiro e terminava no mar.

10 E phraim towards the Negev and Manasseh to the north and the sea is his border; and they meet with Asher on the side of the north and with Issachar to the east.

Do lado sul a terra pertencia a Efraim; do lado norte, a Manassés. O território de Manassés chegava até o mar e alcançava Aser, ao norte, e Issacar, a leste.

11 A nd Manasseh also 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, three provinces.

Em Issacar e Aser, Manassés tinha também Bete-Seã, Ibleã e as populações de Dor, En-Dor, Taanaque e Megido, com os seus respectivos povoados. A terceira da lista, isto é, Dor, é Nafote.

12 B ut the sons of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; to the contrary the Canaanite desired to dwell in that land.

Mas os manassitas não conseguiram expulsar os habitantes dessas cidades, pois os cananeus estavam decididos a viver naquela região.

13 Y et it came to pass when the sons of Israel waxed strong that they put the Canaanite under tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

Entretanto, quando os israelitas se fortaleceram, submeteram os cananeus a trabalhos forçados, mas não os expulsaram totalmente.

14 ¶ And the sons of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people and that the LORD has blessed me as such until now?

Os descendentes de José disseram então a Josué: “Por que nos deste apenas um quinhão, uma só porção de herança? Somos um povo numeroso, e o Senhor nos tem abençoado ricamente”.

15 A nd Joshua answered them, If thou art such a great people, then go up to the forest and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzite and of the giants, if mountain of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

Respondeu Josué: “Se vocês são tão numerosos, e se os montes de Efraim têm pouco espaço para vocês, subam, entrem na floresta e limpem o terreno para vocês na terra dos ferezeus e dos refains”.

16 A nd the sons of Joseph said, This mountain is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Bethshean and her towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.

Os descendentes de José responderam: “Os montes não são suficientes para nós; além disso todos os cananeus que vivem na planície possuem carros de ferro, tanto os que vivem em Bete-Seã e seus povoados como os que vivem no vale de Jezreel”.

17 T hen Joshua replied unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people and hast great strength; thou shalt not have only one lot;

Josué, porém, disse à tribo de José, a Efraim e a Manassés: “Vocês são numerosos e poderosos. Vocês não terão apenas um quinhão.

18 b ut that mountain shall be thine, for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down, and the borders of it shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanite, though he has iron chariots and though he is strong.

Os montes cobertos de floresta serão de vocês. Limpem o terreno, e será de vocês, até os seus limites mais distantes. Embora os cananeus possuam carros de ferro e sejam fortes, vocês poderão expulsá-los”.
