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.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσῆ, ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ἰωσήφ· τῷ Μαχὶρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασσῆ πατρὶ Γαλαάδ (ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν) ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι.
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.
2καὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζὲρ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελὲζ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἱεζιὴλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχὲμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαρὶμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ὀφέρ· οὗτοι ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.
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.
3καὶ τῷ Σαλπαὰδ υἱῷ Ὀφὲρ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοί, ἀλλ' ἢ θυγατέρες. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπαάδ· Μααλὰ καὶ Νουὰ καὶ Ἐγλὰ καὶ Μελχὰ καὶ Θερσά.
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.
4καὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐναντίον Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων λέγουσαι· ὁ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο διά χειρὸς Μωυσῆ δοῦναι ἡμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν. καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου κλῆρος ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
5And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.
5καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ἀνάσσα καὶ πεδίον Λαβὲκ ἐκ τῆς γῆς Γαλαάδ, ἥ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
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.
6ὅτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασσῆ ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν· ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλαὰδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις.
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.
7καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασσῆ Δηλανάθ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἀνάθ, καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ἰαμὶν καὶ Ἰασσὶβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθώθ·
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.
8τῷ Μανασσῇ ἔσται, καὶ Θαφὲθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασσῆ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἐφραίμ.
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:
9καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανὰ ἐπὶ λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ἰαριήλ, τερέβινθος τῷ Ἐφραὶμ ἀνὰ μέσον πόλεως Μανασσῆ· καὶ ὅρια Μανασσῆ ἐπὶ τὸν βορρᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα.
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.
10ἀπὸ λιβὸς τῷ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν Μανασσῆ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀσὴβ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ τῷ Ἰσσάχαρ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.
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.
11καὶ ἔσται Μανασσῆ ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ ἐν Ἀσὴρ Βαιθσὰν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδώ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Ναφετὰ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς.
12Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.
12καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας, καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ·
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.
13καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν.
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?
14ἀντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγοντες· διατί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν; ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς εὐλόγησέ με.
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.
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ, εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραίμ.
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.
16καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ἀρέσκει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσὰν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς, ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἰεσραέλ.
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:
17καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰωσήφ· εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις, οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς·
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.
18ὁ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι, ὅτι δρυμός ἐστι καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτόν, καὶ ἔσται σοι· καὶ ὅταν ἐξολοθρεύσῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον, ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος αὐτῷ ἐστι, σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ.
