Chapter 17

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.

Também coube sorte à tribo de Manassés, porquanto era o primogênito de José. Quanto a Maquir, o primogênito de Manassés, pai de Gileade, porquanto era homem de guerra, obtivera Gileade e Basã.   

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.

Também os outros filhos de Manassés tiveram a sua parte, segundo as suas famílias, a saber: os filhos de Abiezer, os filhos de Heleque, os filhos de Asriel, os filhos de Siquém, os filhos de Hefer, e os filhos de semida. Esses são os filhos de Manassés, filho de José, segundo as suas famílias.   

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.

Zelofeade, porém, filho de Hefer, filho de Gileade, filho de Maquir, filho de Manassés, não teve filhos, mas só filhas; e estes são os nomes de suas filhas: Macla, Noa, Hogla, Milca e Tirza.   

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.

Estas, pois, se apresentaram diante de Eleazar, o sacerdote, e diante de Josué, filho de Num, e diante dos príncipes, dizendo: O Senhor ordenou a Moisés que se nos desse herança no meio de nossos irmãos. Pelo que se lhes deu herança no meio dos irmãos de seu pai, conforme a ordem do Senhor.   

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

E couberam a Manassés dez quinhões, afora a terra de Gileade e Basã, que está além do Jordão;   

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

porque as filhas de Manassés possuíram herança entre os filhos dele; e a terra de Gileade coube aos outros filhos de Manassés.   

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.

Ora, o termo de Manassés vai desde Aser até Micmetá, que está defronte de Siquém; e estende-se pela direita até os moradores de En-Tapua.   

Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

A terra de Tapua ficou pertencendo a Manassés; porém Tapua, junto ao termo de Manassés, pertencia aos filhos de Efraim .   

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:

Então desce este termo ao ribeiro de Caná; a Efraim couberam as cidades ao sul do ribeiro no meio das cidades de Manassés; o termo de Manassés está ao norte do ribeiro, e vai até o mar.   

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.

Ao sul a terra é de Efraim, e ao norte de Manassés, sendo o mar o seu termo. Estendem-se ao norte até Aser, e ao oriente até Issacar   

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.

Porque em Issacar e em Aser couberam a Manassés Bete-Seã e suas vilas, Ibleão e suas vilas, os habitantes de Dor e suas vilas, os habitantes de En-Dor e suas vilas, os habitantes de Taanaque e suas vilas, e os habitantes de Megido e suas vilas, com os seus três outeiros.   

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

Contudo os filhos de Manassés não puderam expulsar os habitantes daquelas cidades, porquanto os cananeus persistiram em habitar naquela terra.   

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.

Mas quando os filhos de Israel se tornaram fortes, sujeitaram os cananeus a trabalhos forçados, porém não os expulsaram de todo.   

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?

Então os filhos de José falaram a Josué, dizendo: Por que me deste por herança apenas uma sorte e um quinhão, sendo eu um povo numeroso, porquanto o Senhor até aqui me tem abençoado?   

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.

Respondeu-lhes Josué: Se és povo numeroso, sobe ao bosque, e corta para ti lugar ali na terra dos perizeus e dos refains, desde que a região montanhosa de Efraim te é estreita demais.   

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.

Tornaram os filhos de José: A região montanhosa não nos bastaria; além disso todos os cananeus que habitam na terra do vale têm carros de ferro, tanto os de Bete-Seã e das suas vilas, como os que estão no vale de Jizreel.   

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:

Então Josué falou a casa de José, isto é, a Efraim e a Manassés, dizendo: Povo numeroso és tu, e tens grande força; não terás uma sorte apenas;   

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.

porém a região montanhosa será tua; ainda que é bosque, cortá-lo-ás, e as suas extremidades serão tuas; porque expulsarás os cananeus, não obstante terem eles carros de ferro e serem fortes:
