1 A ko te rota tenei i te iwi o Manahi; ko ia hoki te matamua a Hohepa. I a Makiri, i te matamua a Manahi, matua o Kireara, i te mea he tangata hapai pakanga ia, i a ia a Kireara, a Pahana.

Now this was the lot for the tribe 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.

2 A ko te rota i era atu tama a Manahi, i o ratou hapu; i nga tama a Apietere, i nga tama a Hereke, i nga tama a Ahariere, i nga tama a Hekeme, i nga tama a Hewhere, i nga tama hoki a Hemira: ko nga tama enei a Manahi tama a Hohepa, i o ratou hapu.

So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to 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 descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

3 O tiia kahore he tama a Teropehara, tama a Hewhere, tama a Kireara, tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi; engari he tamahine: a ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine, ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mireka, ko Tirita.

However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

4 N a ka whakatata ratou ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro o Hohua tama a Nunu, ki te aroaro ano hoki o nga ariki, a ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa i a Mohi kia homai he kainga tupu ki a matou i roto i o matou tungane. Na homai ana e ia ki a ratou ta Ihowa i ki ai, he kainga tupu i roto i nga teina o to ratou papa.

They came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So according to the command of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.

5 A tekau nga wahi i taka ki a Manahi, haunga te whenua o Kireara, o Pahana, i tawahi o Horano;

Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,

6 N o te mea i whiwhi nga tamahine a Manahi i te wahi tupu i roto i ana tama; a i riro te whenua o Kireara i nga tama a Manahi i mahue.

because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

7 A ko te rohe ki a Manahi kei a Ahera a tae noa ki Mikimeta, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Hekeme; a i haere tonu te rohe ki matau, ki nga tangata o Enetapua.

The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

8 I a Manahi te whenua o Tapua: ko Tapua ia i te rohe o Manahi, i nga tama a Eparaima tera.

The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.

9 A i puta atu te rohe ki te awa, ki Kana, whaka te tonga o te awa: ko enei pa no Eparaima i roto i nga pa o Manahi: a ko te rohe o Manahi i te taha tuaraki o te awa, a ko ona putanga kei te moana:

The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.

10 I a Eparaima te taha ki te tonga, a i a Manahi te taha ki te raki, a ko te moana te rohe ki a ia; a i tutaki raua ki a Ahera ki te raki, ki a Ihakara hoki ki te rawhiti.

The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

11 A i riro i a Manahi i roto i to Ihakara, i to Ahera, a Peteheana me ona pa ririki, a Ipireama me ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Eneroro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Taanaka, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki, ara e toru nga taumata.

In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, the third is Napheth.

12 O tiia kihai i taea e nga tama a Manahi te pei nga tangata o aua pa; ko nga Kanaani ia i whakamate kia noho tonu i taua whenua.

But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

13 N a, no ka kaha nga tama a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaimahi, a kahore i peia rawatia atu e ratou.

It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

14 N a ka korero nga tama a Hohepa ki a Hohua, ka mea, Na te aha i kotahi tonu ai te rota, i kotahi ai te wahi i homai e koe ki ahau hei kainga tupu, he iwi nui nei hoki ahau, a he manaakitanga hoki ahau na Ihowa a mohoa noa nei?

Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me only one lot and one portion for an inheritance, since I am a numerous people whom the Lord has thus far blessed?”

15 N a ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Ki te mea he iwi nui koe, haere ki te ngahere tua ai he wahi mau i reira, i te whenua o nga Perihi ratou ko nga Repaima; ina hoki he kuiti rawa te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima mou.

Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”

16 N a ka mea nga tama a Hohepa, He iti rawa te whenua pukepuke mo matou: a ko nga Kanaani katoa e noho ana i te wahi mania he hariata o ratou, o era e noho ra i Peteheana, i ona pa ririki, o era hoki i te mania i Ietereere.

The sons of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”

17 N a ka korero a Hohua ki te whare o Hohepa, ki a Eparaima raua ko Manahi, ka mea, He iwi nui koe, he nui hoki tou kaha: e kore e kotahi tonu te rota mou:

Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,

18 E ngari mou ano te whenua pukepuke; ahakoa hoki he ngahere ia, mau e tua, a mou ona putanga atu; ka peia atu hoki e koe nga Kanaani, he ahakoa to ratou whai hariata rino, me to ratou kaha.

but the hill country shall be yours. For though it is a forest, you shall clear it, and to its farthest borders it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron and though they are strong.”
