1And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the firstborn of Joseph) to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan.
1瑪拿西 是 約瑟 的長子，他的支派拈鬮所得之地記在下面。至於 瑪拿西 的長子 基列 之父 瑪吉 ，因為是勇士就得了 基列 和 巴珊 。
2And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.
2瑪拿西 其餘的子孫，按着宗族 拈鬮分地 ，就是 亞比以謝 子孫， 希勒 子孫， 亞斯列 子孫， 示劍 子孫， 希弗 子孫， 示米大 子孫；這些按着宗族，都是 約瑟 兒子 瑪拿西 子孫的男丁。
3But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.
3瑪拿西 的玄孫， 瑪吉 的曾孫， 基列 的孫子， 希弗 的兒子 西羅非哈 沒有兒子，只有女兒。他的女兒名叫 瑪拉 、 挪阿 、 曷拉 、 密迦 、 得撒 ；
4And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father.
4她們來到祭司 以利亞撒 和 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 並眾首領面前，說：「耶和華曾吩咐 摩西 在我們弟兄中分給我們產業。」於是 約書亞 照耶和華所吩咐的，在她們伯叔中，把產業分給她們。
5And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.
5除了 約旦河 東的 基列 和 巴珊 地之外，還有十分地歸 瑪拿西 ，
6For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses.
6因為 瑪拿西 的孫女們在 瑪拿西 的孫子中得了產業。 基列 地是屬 瑪拿西 其餘的子孫。
7And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua.
7瑪拿西 的境界：從 亞設 起，到 示劍 前的 密米他 ，往北到 隱‧他普亞 居民 之地 。
8For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim.
8他普亞 地歸 瑪拿西 ，只是 瑪拿西 境界上的 他普亞 城 歸 以法蓮 子孫。
9And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are at the sea:
9其界下到 加拿河 的南邊。在 瑪拿西 城邑中的這些城邑都歸 以法蓮 。 瑪拿西 的地界是在河北直通到海為止；
10So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east.
10南歸 以法蓮 ，北歸 瑪拿西 ，以海為界；北邊到 亞設 ，東邊到 以薩迦 。
11And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.
11瑪拿西 在 以薩迦 和 亞設 境內，有 伯‧善 和屬 伯‧善 的鎮市， 以伯蓮 和屬 以伯蓮 的鎮市， 多珥 的居民和屬 多珥 的鎮市；又有三處山岡，就是 隱‧多珥 和屬 隱‧多珥 的鎮市； 他納 的居民和屬 他納 的鎮市， 米吉多 的居民和屬 米吉多 的鎮市。
12Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.
12只是 瑪拿西 子孫不能趕出這些城的 居民 ， 迦南 人偏要住在那地。
13But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them.
13及至 以色列 人強盛了，就使 迦南 人做苦工，沒有把他們全然趕出。
14And the children of Joseph spoke to Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?
14約瑟 的子孫對 約書亞 說：「耶和華到如今既然賜福與我們，我們也族大人多，你為甚麼僅將一鬮一段之地分給我們為業呢？」
15And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
15約書亞 說：「你們如果族大人多，嫌 以法蓮 山地窄小，就可以上 比利洗 人、 利乏音 人之地，在樹林中砍伐 樹木 。」
16And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.
16約瑟 的子孫說：「那山地容不下我們，並且住平原的 迦南 人，就是住 伯‧善 和屬 伯‧善 的鎮市，並住 耶斯列 平原的人，都有鐵車。」
17And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:
17約書亞 對 約瑟 家，就是 以法蓮 和 瑪拿西 人，說：「你是族大人多，並且強盛，不可僅有一鬮之地，
18But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.
18山地也要歸你，雖是樹林，你也可以砍伐；靠近之地必歸你。 迦南 人雖有鐵車，雖是強盛，你也能把他們趕出去。」
