Dette var lodd for Manasses stamme; for han var Josefs førstefødte. Når det gjelder Makir, Manasses førstefødte, far til Gilead, fordi han var en krigsmann, fikk han Gilead og Basan.

[This] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

Så var dette lodd for resten av barna til Manasse etter deres slekter: for Abiesers barn, for heleks barn, for asriels barn, for sekems barn, for hefers barn og for semidas barn. Disse var mannlige etterkommere av Manasse, Josefs sønn, etter deres slekter.

So [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.

Men Selofhad, sønn av Hefer, sønn av Gilead, sønn av Makir, sønn av Manasse, hadde ingen sønner, men bare døtre. Disse er navnene på hans døtre: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirsa.

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.

De kom fram for Eleazar, presten, for Josva, Nuns sønn, og for fyrstene og sa: Herren befalte Moses å gi oss en arv blant våre brødre. Etter Herrens bud ga han dem derfor en arv blant våre fars brødre.

They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers: therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.

Der falt ti deler til Manasse, foruten landet Gilead og Basan, som er bortenfor Jordan.

There fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;

For Manasses døtre fikk arv blant hans sønner. Landet Gilead tilhørte de øvrige sønner av Manasse.

because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

Grensen for Manasse gikk fra Asjer til Mikmetat, som ligger foran Sikem, og grensen gikk videre til høyre, til innbyggerne i En-Tappuach.

The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

Landet Tappuach tilhørte Manasse, men Tappuach på Manasses grense tilhørte Efraims barn.

The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

Grensen gikk ned til Kanas bekk, sør for bekken. Disse byene tilhørte Efraim blant Manasses byer. Manasses grense var på nordsiden av bekken, og den endte ved havet.

The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out of it were at the sea:

Mot sør var det Efraims, og mot nord var det Manasses, og havet var hans grense. De nådde Asjer i nord og Isaskar i øst.

southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.

Manasse hadde i Isaskar og i Asjer Bet-Sjean med sine byer, Ibleam med sine byer, innbyggerne i Dor med sine byer, innbyggerne i En-Dor med sine byer, innbyggerne i Taanak med sine byer og innbyggerne i Megiddo med sine byer, nemlig de tre høydene.

Manasseh had in Issachar and in 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, even the three heights.

Men Manasses barn klarte ikke å drive ut innbyggerne i disse byene, og kananittene bodde i dette landet.

Yet the children of Manasseh couldn't drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

Men da Israels barn ble sterke, gjorde de kananittene til tvangsarbeidere, men de drev dem ikke fullstendig ut.

It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn't utterly drive them out.

Josefs barn talte til Josva og sa: Hvorfor har du bare gitt meg én lodd og én del til en arv, siden jeg er et stort folk? Herren har velsignet meg så langt?

The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, because hitherto Yahweh has blessed me?

Josva sa til dem: Hvis du er et stort folk, gå opp til skogen og hugg deg et der i perisittenes og refaims land, siden Efraims fjellområde er for trangt for deg.

Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.

Josefs barn sa: Fjellområdet er ikke nok for oss, og alle kananittene som bor i dalenes land har jernvogner, både de som er i Bet-Sjean med sine byer og de som er i Jisreels dal.

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 they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.

Josva talte til Josefs hus, til Efraim og til Manasse, og sa: Du er et stort folk og har stor styrke, du skal ikke ha bare én lodd.

Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot only:

Men fjellområdet skal være ditt; selv om det er skog, skal du hugge det ned, og endene av det skal være ditt; for du skal drive ut kananittene, selv om de har jernvogner og er sterke.

but the hill-country shall be yours; for though it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
