Liber Josue

Cecidit autem sors tribui Manasse (ipse enim est primogenitus Joseph): Machir primogenito Manasse patri Galaad, qui fuit vir pugnator, habuitque possessionem Galaad et Basan:

And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses for he is the firstborn of Joseph to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan.

Cade autem sorte tribue Manasse (ipso nam es primogenito Ioseph): machire primogenito Manasse ad patre Galaade, qui es viro pugnatore, et habe possessione Galaade et Basan:

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.

And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.

Et reliqua de filios Manasse juxta familia suo, ad filios Abiezro, et ad filios Helece, et ad filios Esriele, et ad filios Secheme, et ad filios Hephro, et filios Semida. Isto es filios Manasse filios Ioseph, maris, per cognationes suo.

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.

But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.

Salphaade vero ad filio Hephro filios Galaade filios Machire filios Manasse non es filios, sed solo filias: de qui isto es nomines: maala et Noa et Hegla et Melcha et Thersa.

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.

And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Joshua the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father.

Et veni in conspectu Eleazario de sacerdote, et Ioso filios Nune, et de principes, dicente: domino praecipie per manu de Moysi, ut possessione ad nos da in medio de fratres nostro. Et da ad illos juxta imperio de Domino possessione in medio de fratres de patre de illas.

Et ceciderunt funiculi Manasse, decem, absque terra Galaad et Basan trans Jordanem.

And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.

Et funiculos Manasse cade, deceme, absque terra Galaade et Basan trans Iordane.

Filiæ enim Manasse possederunt hæreditatem in medio filiorum ejus. Terra autem Galaad cecidit in sortem filiorum Manasse qui reliqui erant.

For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses.

Filia nam Manasse posside haereditate in medio de filios de illo. Terra autem Galaade cade in sorte de filios Manasse qui reliqua es.

Fuitque terminus Manasse ab Aser, Machmethath quæ respicit Sichem: et egreditur ad dexteram juxta habitatores fontis Taphuæ.

And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua.

Et es termino Manasse ab Asro, Machmethath que respice Sicheme: et egredior ad dextera juxta habitatores de fonte de Taphuase.

Etenim in sorte Manasse ceciderat terra Taphuæ, quæ est juxta terminos Manasse filiorum Ephraim.

For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim.

Etenim in sorte Manasse cade terra de Taphuase, que es juxta terminos Manasse de filios Ephraeme.

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:

And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are at the sea:

Et termino de valle de arundine descende in meridie de torrento de civitates Ephraeme, que in medio es de urbes Manasse: termino Manasse ab aquilone de torrento, et exitu de illo perge ad mari:

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.

So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east.

Ita ut possessione Ephraeme es ab austro, et ab aquilone Manasse, et et utro claude mari, et coniunge ad se in tribu Asro ab aquilone, et in tribu Issachare ab oriente.

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.

And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.

Et es haereditate Manasse in Issachare et in Asro, Bethsane et viculos de illo, et Ieblaame cum viculos suo, et habitatores Dore cum oppidos suo, habitatores etiam Endore cum viculos suo: et similiter habitatores Thenace cum viculos suo, et habitatores Mageddo cum viculos suo, et tertio parte de urbe Nopheth.

Nec potuerunt filii Manasse has civitates subvertere, sed cœpit Chananæus habitare in terra sua.

Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.

Nec filios Manasse pote hoc civitates subverte, sed Chananaeo incipe habita in terra suo.

Postquam autem convaluerunt filii Israël, subjecerunt Chananæos, et fecerunt sibi tributarios, nec interfecerunt eos.

But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them.

Postquam autem filios Israële convalesce, subicie Chananaeis, et fac ad se tributario, nec interfice illos.

Locutique sunt filii Joseph ad Josue, et dixerunt: Quare dedisti mihi possessionem sortis et funiculi unius, cum sim tantæ multitudinis, et benedixerit mihi Dominus?

And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?

Et loque es filios Ioseph ad Ioso, et dic: quare da ad me possessione de sorto et de funiculo de uno, cum es tanto de multitudine, et Domino ad me benedic?

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.

And Joshua said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

Ad que Ioso dic: si populo multo es, ascende in silva, et succide ad te spatios in terra Pherezaeo et Raphaime: quia angusto es ad te possessione de monte Ephraeme.

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.

And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.

Ad que filios Ioseph responde: non pote ad montano conscende, cum ferrea curres ute Chananaeis, qui habita in terra campestri, in quo sita es Bethsane cum viculos suo, et Fezraele medio posside valle.

Dixitque Josue ad domum Joseph, Ephraim et Manasse: Populus multus es, et magnæ fortitudinis: non habebis sortem unam,

And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:

Et Ioso dic ad domo Ioseph, Ephraeme et Manasse: populo multo es, et magna de fortitudine: non habe sorte uno,

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.

But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.

Sed transi ad monte, et succide ad te, et purga ad habita spatios: et pote ultra procede cum subverte Chananaeo, quem dic ferrea habere currus, et es forti.
