約書亞記-Joshua 第 17 章

17:1	瑪拿西是約瑟的長子，他的支派拈鬮所得之地記在下麵。瑪拿西的長子，基列之父瑪吉，因為是戰士就得了基列和巴珊。 And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was Joseph's firstborn. To Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, Gilead and Bashan had been given, since he was a man of war.
17:2	瑪拿西其餘的子孫，按著家族拈鬮分地，就是亞比以謝的子孫，希勒的子孫，亞斯列的子孫，示劍的子孫，希弗的子孫，示米大的子孫；這些按著家族，都是約瑟兒子瑪拿西子孫中的男丁。 Therefore 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.
17:3	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，隻有女兒。他的女兒名叫瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒； 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.
17:4	她們來到祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞並眾首領麵前，說，耶和華曾吩咐摩西在我們弟兄中給我們產業。於是約書亞照耶和華所吩咐的，在她們伯叔中，把產業給了她們。 And they came before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers. Therefore he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers according to the commandment of Jehovah.
17:5	除了約但河東的基列和巴珊地之外，還有十分地歸瑪拿西， And ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is across the Jordan,
17:6	因為瑪拿西的孫女們在瑪拿西的子孫中得了產業。基列地是屬瑪拿西其餘的子孫。 Because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the children of Manasseh.
17:7	瑪拿西的境界，是從亞設到示劍前的密米他，往南到隱他普亞的居民那裏。 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which was opposite Shechem; and the border went south to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
17:8	他普亞地歸瑪拿西，隻是瑪拿西邊界上的他普亞城歸以法蓮的子孫。 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to the children of Ephraim.
17:9	瑪拿西的境界又下到加拿河。在瑪拿西的城邑中，河南邊的這些城邑都歸以法蓮。瑪拿西的地界是在河的北邊，直通到海為止； And the border went down to the brook of Kanah. These cities to the south of the brook belonged to Ephraim, among the cities of Manasseh; and the border of Manasseh was to the north of the brook, and its end was the sea.
17:10	南歸以法蓮，北歸瑪拿西，以海為界；北邊與亞設相接，東邊與以薩迦相接。 To the south was Ephraim's, and to the north was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. And they touched Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
17:11	瑪拿西在以薩迦和亞設境內，有伯善和屬伯善的鄉鎮，以伯蓮和屬以伯蓮的鄉鎮，多珥的居民和屬多珥的鄉鎮，隱多珥的居民和屬隱多珥的鄉鎮，他納的居民和屬他納的鄉鎮，米吉多的居民和屬米吉多的鄉鎮。(以上第三個城是拿法。) And to Manasseh there belonged in Issachar and 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 (the third is Napheth).
17:12	隻是瑪拿西的子孫不能趕出這些城的居民，迦南人執意住在那地。 Yet the children of Manasseh could not dispossess these cities, but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in this land.
17:13	及至以色列人強盛了，就使迦南人服苦役，沒有把他們全然趕出。 And when the children of Israel became strong, they made the Canaanites forced labor; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
17:14	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，你為什麼僅僅將一鬮一分之地給我們為業呢？ Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me an inheritance of only one lot and one portion, although I am still a numerous people, whom Jehovah has thus far blessed?
17:15	約書亞說，你們如果族大人多，嫌以法蓮山地窄小，就可以上到森林去，在比利洗人和利乏音人之地為自己開出地來。 And Joshua said to them, If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and cut out land there for yourself in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.
17:16	約瑟的子孫說，那山地容不下我們，並且所有住山穀之地的迦南人，就是住伯善和屬伯善的鄉鎮，並住耶斯列穀的人，都有鐵車。 And the children of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those of Beth-shean and its towns and those in the Valley of Jezreel.
17:17	約書亞對約瑟家，就是以法蓮和瑪拿西人說，你族大人多，勢力強大，不可僅有一鬮之地， And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, You are a numerous people, and you have great strength; you shall not have one lot only,
17:18	山地也要歸你；雖是森林，你也可以開出地來，山地的盡邊必歸你。迦南人雖有鐵車，雖是強盛，你也能把他們趕出去。 But the hill country shall be yours. Though it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and its end will be yours; for you shall dispossess the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron and though they are strong.
