分给西玛拿西半支派的土地
玛拿西是约瑟的长子，这是他的支派抽签所得之地。玛拿西的长子，基列的父亲玛吉，因为是勇士，就得了基列和巴珊。
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2玛拿西其余的子孙，就是亚比以谢的子孙，希勒的子孙，亚斯烈的子孙，示剑的子孙，希弗的子孙，示米大的子孙，都按着宗族抽签得了地。这都是约瑟的儿子玛拿西子孙中各宗族的男丁。There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by 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 by their families.
3玛拿西的玄孙，玛吉的曾孙，基列的孙子，希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子，只有女儿。他的女儿名叫玛拉、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.
4她们来到以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚以及众领袖面前，说：“耶和华曾吩咐摩西在我们兄弟中分产业给我们。”于是约书亚照耶和华的指示，在她们叔伯中，把产业分给她们。And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外，还有十份的地业是属于玛拿西的，And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
6因为玛拿西支派的女子也在男子中分得产业。基列地属于玛拿西其余的子孙。Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7玛拿西的地界是从亚设起，到示剑前面的密米他，往右☛“往右”或译“往南”。到隐．他普亚居民之地。And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
8他普亚地归于玛拿西，只是玛拿西边界的他普亚城却归于以法莲子孙。Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
9这地界从那里下到加拿河。河南边的城镇虽然在玛拿西境内，却是属于以法莲的。玛拿西的地界是在河的北边直通到海为止。And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10南边属于以法莲，北边属于玛拿西，以海为界；北边达到亚设，东边达到以萨迦。Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11玛拿西在以萨迦和亚设境内，有伯．善和所属的乡镇，以伯莲和所属的乡镇，多珥和所属乡镇的居民；还有隐．多珥和所属乡镇的居民，他纳和所属乡镇的居民，米吉多和所属乡镇的居民，共三个山冈☛“共三个山冈”：原文另译“第三个是山冈”。。And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
12只是玛拿西的子孙不能赶出这些城镇的居民，迦南人仍坚持住在那地。Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13以色列人强盛的时候，就叫迦南人做苦工，没有把他们全然赶走。Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.
约瑟的子孙要求更多土地
14约瑟的子孙对约书亚说：“耶和华到如今这样赐福给我，我百姓众多，你为什么只给我抽一签，分一份的土地为业呢？”And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
15约书亚对他们说：“如果你百姓众多，而以法莲山区太窄小，那么你可以上比利洗人和利乏音人之地的树林中，在那里开垦。”And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16约瑟的子孙说：“那山区容不下我们，而且住平原的迦南人，就是住伯．善和所属的乡镇，以及住在耶斯列平原的人，都有铁的战车。”And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
17约书亚对约瑟家，就是以法莲和玛拿西人，说：“你百姓众多，并且强大，不可只有一签而已。And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
18那山区也要归你，虽然是树林，你可以去开垦，边缘之地也必归你。迦南人纵然强盛，有铁的战车，你也能把他们赶出去。”But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
