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.
1Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Manase; he ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Siosefa; kia Mekili ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo Manase, ko e tamai ʻa Kiliati: koeʻuhi ko e tangata tau ia, ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ai ʻa Kiliati mo Pesani.
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.
2Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki hono toe ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga: ki he faʻahinga ʻa Epiesa, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEleki, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEsileli, pea ki he fānau ʻa Sikemi, pea ki he fānau ʻa Hefeli pea ki he fānau ʻa Simita: ko e ngaahi fānau tangata eni ʻa Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
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¶ Ka ko Sailofitati, ko e foha ʻo Hefeli, ko e foha ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ʻo Mekili, ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻikai hano foha, ka ko e ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ko Mala, mo Noa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Tilisa.
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.
4Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki he ʻao ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea ki he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimautolu hamau tofiʻa fakataha mo homau kāinga.” Ko ia naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo e kāinga ʻo ʻenau tamai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.
5And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.
5Pea naʻe hoko kia Manase ʻae ngaahi konga ʻe hongofulu, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fonua ʻo Kiliati mo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani;
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.
6Koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu foki ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Manase hanau tofiʻa fakataha mo hono ngaahi foha: pea ko hono toe ʻoe foha ʻo Manase naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati.
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¶ Pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe potu ʻo Manase naʻe fai mei ʻAseli ki Mikimeta, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Sikemi; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hoko ki he kakai ʻo Enitapua.
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.
8Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻae fonua ko Tapua: ka ko Tapua ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Manase ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ia;
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:
9Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo Kana, ko e potu tonga ʻi he vaitafe: ko e ngaahi kolo ni ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻoku tuʻu fakataha mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase: ko e ngataʻanga foki ʻo Manase naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe vaitafe, pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki tahi:
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.
10Naʻe ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae potu tonga, pea ko e potu tokelau naʻe ʻo Manase ia, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e tahi: pea na fakataha ʻi ʻAseli ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻi ʻIsaka ʻi he potu hahake.
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.
11Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻi ʻIsaka, pea ʻi ʻAseli ʻa Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea mo e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Enitoa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, ʻio, ko e fonua ʻe tolu.
12Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.
12Ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Manase ʻae kakai ʻoe ngaahi kolo ko ia; ka naʻe loto pe ʻae kau Kēnani kenau nonofo ʻi he fonua.
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.
13Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke mālohi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kau Kēnani kenau tukuhau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
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?
14Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Siosefa kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke foaki ai kiate au ʻae tofiʻa pe taha ke u maʻu, ka ko e kakai tokolahi au, he koeʻuhi kuo tāpuaki au maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova?”
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.
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ke fei mo ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ʻi ai maʻau, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Pelesi, pea mo e kakai lalahi, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ʻae moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi kiate koe.
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.
16Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Siosefa, ʻOku siʻi ʻae moʻunga kiate kimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻi he kau Kēnani kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he teleʻa, ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kau mo Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo kinautolu ʻoku kau mo e teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
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:
17Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he fale ʻo Siosefa, ʻio, kia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ʻoku ke mālohi lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ʻae tofiʻa pē taha:
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.
18Ka ʻe ʻoʻou ʻae moʻunga; he ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ia: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: te ke kapusi ʻae kau Kēnani, neongo ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae saliote ʻaione, pea ʻoku nau mālohi.”
