Ilizwe elanikwa isizwe sakoManase

1Kwasekusiba lenkatho yesizwe sakoManase, ngoba wayelizibulo likaJosefa a, engekaMakiri izibulo likaManase uyise kaGileyadi b; ngoba yena wayengumuntu wempi; ngakho waba leGileyadi leBashani c. 2Yayikhona njalo eyabaseleyo babantwana bakoManase ngokwensendo zabo d, eyabantwana bakoAbiyezeri, leyabantwana bakoHeleki, leyabantwana bakoAsiriyeli, leyabantwana bakoShekema e, leyabantwana bakoHeferi f, leyabantwana bakoShemida g. Laba ngabantwana besilisa bakaManase indodana kaJosefa ngokwensendo zabo.

3Kodwa uZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi indodana kaGileyadi indodana kaMakiri indodana kaManase wayengelamadodana, kodwa amadodakazi. Lala ngamabizo amadodakazi akhe: OMahla loNowa, uHogila, uMilka loTiriza h. 4Asesondela phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kukaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni i laphambi kweziphathamandla, esithi: INkosi yalaya uMozisi ukusinika ilifa phakathi kwabafowethu j. Ngakho wawanika ngokomlayo weNkosi ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise. 5Ngakho kwawela inkatho ezilitshumi kuManase k, ngaphandle kwelizwe leGileyadi leBashani, elingaphetsheya kweJordani l. 6Ngoba amadodakazi kaManase adla ilifa phakathi kwamadodana akhe. Lelizwe leGileyadi laba ngelabaseleyo bamadodana akoManase.

7Umngcele wakoManase wasusukela eAsheri usiya eMikimethathi m ephambi kweShekema n; lomngcele waya ngakwesokunene kubahlali beEni-Tapuwa o. 8UManase waba lelizwe leTapuwa p, kodwa iTapuwa emngceleni kaManase yayingeyabantwana bakoEfrayimi. 9Lomngcele wehlela esifuleni iKana eningizimu kwesifula. Imizi le ngeyakoEfrayimi phakathi kwemizi yakoManase q. Lomngcele wakoManase usenyakatho kwesifula, lokuphuma kwawo kuselwandle. 10Eningizimu lalingelakoEfrayimi, lenyakatho lalingelakoManase, lolwandle lungumngcele wakhe. LeAsheri bahlangana enyakatho, leIsakari empumalanga. 11Ngoba koIsakari loAsheri uManase r wayeleBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo s, leIbileyamu lemizana yayo t, labahlali beDori lemizana yayo, labahlali beEni-Dori lemizana yayo u, labahlali beThahanakhi lemizana yayo v, labahlali beMegido lemizana yayo w: Amadundulu amathathu. 12Kodwa abantwana bakoManase babengelakho ukuxotsha elifeni leyomizi x, kodwa amaKhanani ayefuna ukuhlala kulelolizwe. 13Kodwa kwathi lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli sebelamandla bawasebenzisa amaKhanani njengezibhalwa, kodwa kabawaxotshanga lokuwaxotsha elifeni y.

14Abantwana bakoJosefa z basebekhuluma kuJoshuwa aa besithi: Unginikeleni inkatho eyodwa lesabelo esisodwa ukuba yilifa ab, kube kanti ngiyisizwe esikhulu, njengoba iNkosi ingibusisile kuze kube lapha ac? 15UJoshuwa wasesithi kubo: Uba uyisizwe esikhulu, wena yenyukela eguswini ad, uzicentele khona elizweni lamaPerizi leleziqhwaga ae, nxa intaba yakoEfrayimi iminyene kuwe af. 16Abantwana bakoJosefa basebesithi: Intaba kayisanelanga, njalo kulenqola zensimbi ag lamaKhanani wonke ahlala elizweni lesihotsha, lawaseBeti-Sheyani lemizana yayo, lawasesigodini seJizereyeli ah. 17UJoshuwa wasekhuluma kundlu kaJosefa, kuEfrayimi lakuManase esithi: Uyisizwe esikhulu, futhi ulamandla amakhulu; kawuyikuba lenkatho eyodwa, 18kodwa intaba izakuba ngeyakho; ngoba iligusu, uzalicenta, lokuphuma kwalo kube ngokwakho, ngoba uzawaxotsha elifeni amaKhanani, lanxa elenqola zensimbi, lanxa elamandla ai , aj.
