1 καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασση ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ιωσηφ τῷ Μαχιρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασση πατρὶ Γαλααδ ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι 2 καὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασση τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιεζερ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελεζ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιεζιηλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχεμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαριμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Οφερ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν 3 καὶ τῷ Σαλπααδ υἱῷ Οφερ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἀλ{L'} ἢ θυγατέρες καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπααδ Μααλα καὶ Νουα καὶ Εγλα καὶ Μελχα καὶ Θερσα 4 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ελεαζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἐναντίον Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων λέγουσαι ὁ θεὸς ἐνετείλατο διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ δοῦναι ἡμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς διὰ προστάγματος κυρίου κλῆρος ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν 5 καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ανασσα καὶ πεδίον Λαβεκ ἐκ τῆς Γαλααδ ἥ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου 6 ὅτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασση ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλααδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασση τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις | 1 Lands, too, must be allotted to Manasses, Joseph’s first-born. The first-born of Manasses was Machir, that was father to Galaad, and he, by feat of arms, made Galaad and Basan his possession. 2 But there were six other lines descended from Manasses through Abiezer, Helec, Esriel, Sechem, Hegher, and Semida; all these were heirs male to Manasses, and so to Joseph. 3 But Hepher (who was descended from Manasses through Galaad and Machir) had a son, Salphaad, that died without male issue;[1] there were five daughters, Maala, Noa, Hegla, Melcha, and Thersa. 4 These appeared before the high priest Eleazar, and Josue the son of Nun, and the chieftains, to claim the right the Lord had granted them through Moses, of inheriting side by side with their father’s kinsmen. So the Lord’s command was obeyed, and they were allowed to inherit; 5 and now, apart from Galaad and Basan, beyond Jordan, ten portions of territory must be allowed to Manasses. 6 His other sons were provided for in Galaad, but five remained, and the five heiresses must have their portion too. | 1 Cecidit autem sors tribui Manasse (ipse enim est primogenitus Joseph): Machir primogenito Manasse patri Galaad, qui fuit vir pugnator, habuitque possessionem Galaad et Basan: 2 et reliquis filiorum Manasse juxta familias suas, filiis Abiezer, et filiis Helec, et filiis Esriel, et filiis Sechem, et filiis Hepher, et filiis Semida. Isti sunt filii Manasse filii Joseph, mares, per cognationes suas. 3 Salphaad vero filio Hepher filii Galaad filii Machir filii Manasse non erant filii, sed solæ filiæ: quarum ista sunt nomina: Maala et Noa et Hegla et Melcha et Thersa. 4 Veneruntque in conspectu Eleazari sacerdotis, et Josue filii Nun, et principum, dicentes: Dominus præcepit per manum Moysi, ut daretur nobis possessio in medio fratrum nostrorum. Deditque eis juxta imperium Domini possessionem in medio fratrum patris earum. 5 Et ceciderunt funiculi Manasse, decem, absque terra Galaad et Basan trans Jordanem. 6 Filiæ enim Manasse possederunt hæreditatem in medio filiorum ejus. Terra autem Galaad cecidit in sortem filiorum Manasse qui reliqui erant. |
7 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασση Δηλαναθ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Αναθ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ιαμιν καὶ Ιασσιβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθωθ 8 τῷ Μανασση ἔσται καὶ Θαφεθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασση τοῖς υἱοῖς Εφραιμ 9 καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανα ἐπὶ λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ιαριηλ τερέμινθος τῷ Εφραιμ ἀνὰ μέσον πόλεως Μανασση καὶ ὅρια Μανασση ἐπὶ τὸν βορρᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα 10 ἀπὸ λιβὸς τῷ Εφραιμ καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν Μανασση καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ Ασηρ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ τῷ Ισσαχαρ ἀ{P'} ἀνατολῶν 11 καὶ ἔσται Μανασση ἐν Ισσαχαρ καὶ ἐν Ασηρ Βαιθσαν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωρ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδω καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Ναφετα καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς 12 καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασση ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ 13 καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους ἐξολεθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλέθρευσαν | 7 The frontier of Manasses, from where it marched with Aser, came down to Machmethath, opposite Sichem, and then turned to the right so as to include the neighbourhood of the Springs of Taphua. 8 (Taphua itself, close to the border of Manasses, belonged to Ephraim, but Manasses held the adjoining lands.) 9 Then it went down to the southern side of the stream which flows through the Valley of Reeds, through cities belonging to Ephraim, which are here confused with those of Manasses. Thenceforward Manasses has a true frontier, on the north side of the stream, reaching down to the sea; 10 Ephraim lies to the south, Manasses to the north, both of them bounded by the sea coast; their joint territory marches with Aser on the north, and Issachar on the east. 11 Manasses also had lands in Issachar and in Aser, Bethsan, Jeblaam, Dor, Endor, Thenac and Mageddo, with the villages dependent on them, and a third part of Nopheth; 12 but they could not get the mastery of these cities; the Chanaanites made bold to live on in their own country. 13 When the Israelites had grown stronger, they subdued the Chanaanites and forced them to pay tribute, but did not exterminate them. | 7 Fuitque terminus Manasse ab Aser, Machmethath quæ respicit Sichem: et egreditur ad dexteram juxta habitatores fontis Taphuæ. 8 Etenim in sorte Manasse ceciderat terra Taphuæ, quæ est juxta terminos Manasse filiorum Ephraim. 9 Descenditque terminus vallis arundineti in meridiem torrentis civitatum Ephraim, quæ in medio sunt urbium Manasse: terminus Manasse ab aquilone torrentis, et exitus ejus pergit ad mare: 10 ita ut possessio Ephraim sit ab austro, et ab aquilone Manasse, et utramque claudat mare, et conjungantur sibi in tribu Aser ab aquilone, et in tribu Issachar ab oriente. 11 Fuitque hæreditas Manasse in Issachar et in Aser, Bethsan et viculi ejus, et Jeblaam cum viculis suis, et habitatores Dor cum oppidis suis, habitatores quoque Endor cum viculis suis: similiterque habitatores Thenac cum viculis suis, et habitatores Mageddo cum viculis suis, et tertia pars urbis Nopheth. 12 Nec potuerunt filii Manasse has civitates subvertere, sed cœpit Chananæus habitare in terra sua. 13 Postquam autem convaluerunt filii Israël, subjecerunt Chananæos, et fecerunt sibi tributarios, nec interfecerunt eos. |
14 ἀντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιωσηφ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες διὰ τί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι καὶ ὁ θεὸς εὐλόγησέν με 15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Εφραιμ 16 καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἀρκέσει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Εφραιμ καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσαν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ιεζραελ 17 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιωσηφ εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς 18 ὁ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι ὅτι δρυμός ἐστιν καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔσται σοι καὶ ὅταν ἐξολεθρεύσῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτός ἐστιν αὐτῷ σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ | 14 When the tribes descended from Joseph complained to Josue that he had allotted to them only a single division of the country, although the Lord’s blessing had made them so populous, 15 Josue replied, If there are so many of you, and the hill-country of Ephraim does not suffice you, make your way into the forest-country, and clear room for yourselves there, where the Pherezites and the Raphaim live. 16 We cannot go across to the hill-country, answered the sons of Joseph; there is a valley in between, where Bethsan lies, with its townships, and Jezrael; and on that low ground there are Chanaanites who have chariots made of iron. 17 But Josue still told the sons of Joseph, the men of Ephraim and Manasses, So great, so powerful a people as you are must not be content with one lot. 18 Cross over to the hill-country and fell the trees, to make yourselves room to dwell in; drive out these Chanaanites, for all their iron chariots, for all their great strength, and you will spread your frontiers further yet. | 14 Locutique sunt filii Joseph ad Josue, et dixerunt: Quare dedisti mihi possessionem sortis et funiculi unius, cum sim tantæ multitudinis, et benedixerit mihi Dominus? 15 Ad quos Josue ait: Si populus multus es, ascende in silvam, et succide tibi spatia in terra Pherezæi et Raphaim: quia angusta est tibi possessio montis Ephraim. 16 Cui responderunt filii Joseph: Non poterimus ad montana conscendere, cum ferreis curribus utantur Chananæi, qui habitant in terra campestri, in qua sitæ sunt Bethsan cum viculis suis, et Jezraël mediam possidens vallem. 17 Dixitque Josue ad domum Joseph, Ephraim et Manasse: Populus multus es, et magnæ fortitudinis: non habebis sortem unam, 18 sed transibis ad montem, et succides tibi, atque purgabis ad habitandum spatia: et poteris ultra procedere cum subverteris Chananæum, quem dicis ferreos habere currus, et esse fortissimum. |
