Josué 17

Te Hapū kē o Manihi ki te Uru

1 Ā, ko te rota tēnei i te iwi o Mānahi; ko ia hoki te mātāmua a Hōhepa. I a Makiri, i te mātāmua a Mānahi, matua o Kireara, i te mea he tangata hāpai pakanga ia, i a ia a Kireara, a Pahana. 2 Ā, ko te rota i ērā atu tama a Mānahi, i ō rātou hapū; i ngā tama a Apiētere, i ngā tama a Hereke, i ngā tama a Ahariere, i ngā tama a Hekeme, i ngā tama a Hewhere, i ngā tama hoki a Hemira; ko ngā tama ēnei a Mānahi tama a Hōhepa, i ō rātou hapū.

3 Otiia kāhore he tama a Teropēhara, tama a Hewhere, tama a Kireara, tama a Makiri, tama a Mānahi; engari he tamāhine; ā, ko ngā ingoa ēnei o āna tamāhine: ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mireka, ko Tirita. 4 Nā, ka whakatata rātou ki te aroaro o Ereātara tohunga, ki te aroaro o Hohua tama a Nunu, ki te aroaro anō hoki o ngā ariki, ā, ka mea, "I whakahau a Ihowā i a Mohi kia hōmai he kāinga tupu ki a mātou i roto i ō mātou tungāne." Nā, hōmai ana e ia ki a rātou tā Ihowā i kī ai, he kāinga tupu i roto i ngā tēina o tō rātou pāpā. 5 Ā, tekau ngā wāhi i taka ki a Mānahi, hāunga te whenua o Kireara, o Pahana, i tāwāhi o Horano; 6 nō te mea i whiwhi ngā tamāhine a Mānahi i te wāhi tupu i roto i āna tama; ā, i riro te whenua o Kireara i ngā tama a Mānahi i mahue.

7 Ā, ko te rohe ki a Mānahi kei a Āhera ā tae noa ki Mikimeta, ki tērā i te ritenga atu o Hekeme; ā, i haere tonu te rohe ki matau, ki ngā tāngata o Enetapua. 8 I a Mānahi te whenua o Tapua; ko Tapua ia i te rohe o Mānahi, i ngā tama a Ēparaima tērā. 9 Ā, i puta atu te rohe ki te awa, ki Kana, whaka te tonga o te awa. Ko ēnei pā nō Ēparaima i roto i ngā pā o Mānahi; ā, ko te rohe o Mānahi i te taha tūāraki o te awa, ā, ko ōna putanga kei te moana. 10 I a Ēparaima te taha ki te tonga, ā, i a Mānahi te taha ki te raki, ā, ko te moana te rohe ki a ia; ā, i tūtaki rāua ki a Āhera ki te raki, ki a Ihākara hoki ki te rāwhiti.

11 Ā, i riro i a Mānahi i roto i tō Ihākara, i tō Āhera, a Peteheana me ōna pā ririki, a Ipireama me ōna pā ririki, ngā tāngata o Roro, o ōna pā ririki, ngā tāngata o Eneroro, o ōna pā ririki, ngā tāngata o Tānaka, o ōna pā ririki, ngā tāngata anō hoki o Mekiro, o ōna pā ririki, (arā e toru ngā taumata).

12 Otiia, kīhai i taea e ngā tama a Mānahi te pei ngā tāngata o aua pā; ko ngā Kanaani ia i whakamate kia noho tonu i taua whenua. 13 Nā, nō ka kaha ngā tama a Īharaira, ka meinga e rātou ngā Kanaani hei kaimahi, ā, kāhore i peia rawatia atu e rātou.

Ka Tautohe te Iwi o Hōhepa

14 Nā, ka kōrero ngā tama a Hōhepa ki a Hohua, ka mea, "Nā te aha i kotahi tonu ai te rota, i kotahi ai te wāhi i hōmai e koe ki ahau hei kāinga tupu, he iwi nui nei hoki ahau, ā, he manaakitanga hoki ahau nā Ihowā ā mohoa noa nei?"

15 Nā, ka mea a Hohua ki a rātou, "Ki te mea he iwi nui koe, haere ki te ngahere tua ai he wāhi māu i reira, i te whenua o ngā Perihi rātou ko ngā Repaima; inā hoki he kūiti rawa te whenua pukepuke o Ēparaima mōu."

16 Nā, ka mea ngā tama a Hōhepa, "He iti rawa te whenua pukepuke mō mātou; ā, ko ngā Kanaani katoa e noho ana i te wāhi mānia he hāriata o rātou, o ērā e noho rā i Peteheana, i ōna pā ririki, o ērā hoki i te mānia i Ietereere."

17 Nā, ka kōrero a Hohua ki te whare o Hōhepa, ki a Ēparaima rāua ko Mānahi, ka mea, "He iwi nui koe, he nui hoki tōu kaha; e kore e kotahi tonu te rota mōu, 18 engari, mōu anō te whenua pukepuke; ahakoa hoki he ngahere ia, māu e tua, ā, mōu ōna putanga atu; ka peia atu hoki e koe ngā Kanaani, he ahakoa tō rātou whai hāriata rino, me tō rātou kaha."

1 And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 2 So the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to 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 according to 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, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. 5 And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan; 6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. 9 And the border went down unto 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 the goings out thereof were at the sea: 10 southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. 11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher 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, even the three heights. 12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and 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 part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me? 15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee. 16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country 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 in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in 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 hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
