1And 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.Questa è la porzione data a sorte alla tribù di Manasse (perocché questi fu primogenito di Giuseppe): a Machir primogenito di Manasse, padre di Galaad, il quale fu uomo guerriero, e possedè il paese di Galaad, e di Basan;AND this lotte fel to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the first borne of Ioseph) to Machir the first borne of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan:Cecidit autem sors tribui Manasse (ipse enim est primogenitus Joseph): Machir primogenito Manasse patri Galaad, qui fuit vir pugnator, habuitque possessionem Galaad et Basan: 2And 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.E (data) agli altri discendenti di Manasse famiglia per famiglia a' figliuoli di Abiezer, e ai figliuoli di Helec, ai figliuoli di Esriel, e a' figliuoli di Sechem, e a' figliuoli di Hepher, e a' figliuoli di Semida. Questi sono i figliuoli maschi di Manasse figliuolo di Giuseppe divisi nelle loro famiglie.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 children of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph, males by their kinredes.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. 3But 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.Ma Salphaad figliuolo di Hepher figliuolo di Galaad, figliuolo di Machir, figliuolo di Manasse, non ebbe figliuoli, ma sole figlie, i nomi delle quali son questi, Maala, e Noa, ed Hegla, e Melca, e Thersa.But Salphaad the sonne of Hepher the sonne of Galaad the sonne of Machir the sonne of Manasses had no sonnes, but onlie daughters: whose names be these, Maala, and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.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. 4And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue 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.Ed elle si presentaron dinanzi ad Eleazaro sommo sacerdote, e a Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, e a' principi, e dissero: Il Signore ordinò per mezzo di Mosè, che fosse data a noi la porzione in mezzo a' nostri fratelli. Diede perciò ad esse (Giosuè) la porzione in mezzo ai fratelli del padre loro secondo il comando del Signore.And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest, and of Iosue the sonne of Nun, and of the princes, saying: Our Lord commanded by the hand of Moyses, that a possession should be geuen vs in the middes of our brethren. And he gaue them according to the commandement of our Lord a possession in the middes of their fathers brethren.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.

5And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.E alla tribù di Manasse toccarono dieci porzioni oltre la terra di Galaad, e di Basan di là dal Giordano.And the cordes fel to Manasses ten, beside the Land of Galaad and Basan beyond Iordan.Et ceciderunt funiculi Manasse, decem, absque terra Galaad et Basan trans Jordanem. 6For 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.Imperocché le figlie di Manasse ebber la loro porzione ereditaria insieme co' figliuoli di lui. E la terra di Galaad toccò in sorte agli altri figliuoli di Manasse.For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the middes of his sonnes. And the Land of Galaad fel to the lotte of the children of Manasses that remayned.Filiæ enim Manasse possederunt hæreditatem in medio filiorum ejus. Terra autem Galaad cecidit in sortem filiorum Manasse qui reliqui erant. 7And 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.E i confini di Manasse furono da Aser a Machmethath che guarda Sichem, e si estendono a destra presso gli abitanti del fonte di Taphua.And the border of Manasses from Aser, was Machmat hath which looketh to Sichem: and goeth out on the right hand beside the inhabitantes of the Fountaine of Taphua.Fuitque terminus Manasse ab Aser, Machmethath quæ respicit Sichem: et egreditur ad dexteram juxta habitatores fontis Taphuæ. 8For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim.Imperocché la terra di Taphua era toccata in sorte a Manasse, ma Taphua, che è presso i confini di Manasse, fu de' figliuoli di Ephraim.For in the lotte of Manasses was fallen the Land of Taphua, which is beside the borders of Manasses, the childrens of Ephraim.Etenim in sorte Manasse ceciderat terra Taphuæ, quæ est juxta terminos Manasse filiorum Ephraim. 9And 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:E i confini (di Manasse) scendono dalla valle del canneto verso il mezzodì del torrente, e delle città di Ephraim, che sono in mezzo alle città di Manasse. Il confine di Manasse è dalla parte settentrionale del torrente, donde va a finire al mare:And the border of the Reede valley went downe into the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the middes of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses on the North of the torrent, and the issue therof goeth to the sea: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:

10So 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.Talmente che la porzione di Ephraim è dalla parte di mezzodì, e quella di Manasse da settentrione, e l'una e l'altra sono chiuse dal mare, e si congiungono da settentrione colla tribù di Aser, e da levante colla tribù d'Issachar.so that the possession of Ephraim is on the South, and on the North of Manasses, and the sea incloseth both, and they be ioyned one to an other in the tribe of Aser on the Noth, and in the tribe of Islachar on the East.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. 11And 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.E Manasse ebbe in Issachar, e in Aser di suo retaggio Bethsan co' suoi villaggi, e Jeblaam co' suoi villaggi, e gli abitanti di Dor co' loro borghi, e anche gli abitanti di En-dor co' loro borghi: e parimente gli abitanti di Thenac co' loro borghi, e gli abitatori di Mageddo co' loro borghi, e la terza parte della città di Nopheth.And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser was Bethlan and the villages therof, and Ieblaam with the villages therof, and the inhabitantes of Dor, with the townes therof, the inhabitantes also of Endor with the townes therof. and in like maner the inhabitantes of Thenac with the townes therof, and the inhabitantes of Mageddo with the townes therof, and the third part of the citie of Nopheth.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. 12Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.E non poterono i figliuoli di Manasse distruggere queste città; ma i Cananei cominciarono ad abitare nel loro paese.Neither could the children of Manasses ouerthrow the cities, but the Chananeite began to dwel in his Land.Nec potuerunt filii Manasse has civitates subvertere, sed cœpit Chananæus habitare in terra sua. 13But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them.Quando poi i figliuoli d'Israele si furono rinforzati, soggettarono i Cananei, e se li fecero tributarii, e non gli uccisero.But after that the children of Israel grew to be strong, they subdewed the Chananeites, and made them their tributaries, neither did they kil them.Postquam autem convaluerunt filii Israël, subjecerunt Chananæos, et fecerunt sibi tributarios, nec interfecerunt eos.

14And the children of Joseph spoke to Josue, 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?Ma i figliuoli di Giuseppe parlarono a Giosuè, e dissero: Per qual motivo hai tu dato a me una sola porzione tirata a sorte, essendo io una moltitudine così grande per la benedizione datami dal Signore?And the children of Ioseph spake to Iosue, and said: Why hast thou geuen me the possession of one lotte and corde, wheras I am of so great a multitude, and our Lord hath blessed me?Locutique sunt filii Joseph ad Josue, et dixerunt: Quare dedisti mihi possessionem sortis et funiculi unius, cum sim tantæ multitudinis, et benedixerit mihi Dominus ? 15And Josue 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.Disse loro Giosuè: Se tu se' un gran popolo, va al bosco, e taglia, e fatti largo nella terra de' Pherezei, e de' Raphaimi: giacché angusta regione è per te il monte di Ephraim.To whom Iosue said: If thou be a great people, goe vp into the wood, and cutte thee roome in the Land of the Pherezeite and Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is narrow for thee.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. 16And 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.Gli risposero i figliuoli di Giuseppe: Noi non potremo salire sulla montagna, mentre i Cananei che abitano nella pianura (dov'è Bethsan coi suoi villaggi, e Jezrael, che tiene il mezzo della valle) hanno cocchi armati di ferro.To whom the children of Ioseph answered: We can not goe vp to the mountaines, wheras the Chananeite that dwel in the champayne countrie, wherein are situated Bethsan with the townes therof, and Iezrael possessing the middes of the valley, vse yron chariottes.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. 17And Josue 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:E Giosuè disse alla casa di Giuseppe, Ephraim, e Manasse: Tu sei un popolo numeroso, e molto forte; tu non avrai una sola porzione:And Iosue said to the house of Ioseph, of Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not haue one lotte,Dixitque Josue ad domum Joseph, Ephraim et Manasse: Populus multus es, et magnæ fortitudinis: non habebis sortem unam,

18But 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.Ma salirai al monte, e taglierai, e ti farai luogo pulito da abitare, e potrai allargarti, quando avrai sterminati i Cananei, i quali tu dici che hanno cocchi armati di ferro, e che sono fortissimi.but thou shalt passe to the mountaine, and shalt cutte and make glades for thee to inhabite: and mayest procede farder, when thou hast subuerted the Chananeite, whom thou sayest to haue yron chariotes, and to be very strong.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.
