Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσῆ, ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, τῷ Μαχὶρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασσῆ πατρὶ Γαλαὰδ, ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν, ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι.
1 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.
2 Καὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν· τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζὶ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελὲζ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζιὴλ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχὲμ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαρὶμ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ὀφέρ· οὗτοι ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.
2 So this was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, for the children of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the children of Shechem, 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.
3 Καὶ τῷ Σαλπαὰδ υἱῷ Ὀφὲρ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἀλλʼ ἢ θυγατέρες· καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπαάδ· Μααλὰ, καὶ Νουὰ, καὶ Ἐγλὰ, καὶ Μελχὰ, καὶ Θερσά.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Καὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ἐλεάζαρ 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.
4 They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to 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.
5 Καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ἀνάσσα, καὶ πεδίον Λαβὲκ ἐκ τῆς γῆς Γαλαὰδ, ἥ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
6 Ὅτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασσὴ ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν· ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλαὰδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσὴ τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις.
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
7 Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασσῆ Δηλανὰθ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἀνὰθ, καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ἰαμὶν καὶ Ἰασσὶβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθώθ.
7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. The border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
8 Τῷ Μανασσῇ ἔσται· καὶ Θαφὲθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασσῆ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἐφραΐμ.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
9 Καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανὰ ἐπὶ Λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ἰαριὴλ· τερέμινθος τῷ Ἐφραῒμ ἀναμέσον πόλεως Μανασσῆ· καὶ ὅρια Μανασσῆ ἐπὶ τὸν βοῤῥᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα
9 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and ended at the sea.
10 ἀπὸ Λιβὸς τῷ Ἐφραῒμ, καὶ ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν Μανασσῇ· καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀσὴβ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ τῷ Ἰσσάχαρ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.
10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
11 Καὶ ἔσται Μανασσῇ ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ ἐν Ἀσὴρ Βαιθοὰν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδὼ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Μαφετὰ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς.
11 Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, in Asher Beth Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns.
12 Καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας· καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν.
13 When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
14 Ἀντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ νἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Ἰησοῦ, λέγοντες, διατί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα, καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν; ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς εὐλόγησέ με.
14 The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because Yahweh has blessed us so far?”
15 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς, εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν, καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραΐμ.
15 Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
16 Καὶ εἶπαν, οὐκ ἀρέσκει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραΐμ· καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος, καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσὰν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς, ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἰεζραέλ.
16 The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”
17 Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰωσὴφ, εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις, οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς·
17 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;
18 Ὁ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι, ὅτι δρυμός ἐστι καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔσται σοι· καὶ ὅταν ἐξολοθρεύ· σῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον, ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος αὐτῷ ἐστι· σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ.
18 but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
