1Oku nikwo baabaganisiize oruganda rwa Manaase, ahabw'okuba omujigaijo gwa Yosefu. Kandi Makiri omujigaijo gwa Manaase, ishenkuru wa Gileadi, akaheebwa ebyanga bya Gileadi na Bashani, ahakuba akaba ari emanzi omu ngamba.

2Kandi baijukuru ba Manaase abaatsigaireho baababaganisiza, nk'oku emiryango yaabo yaabaire eri; abo nibo, Abiezeeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Shekemu, Heferi, na Shemiida, batabani ba Manaase mwene Yosefu, nk'oku emiryango yaabo yaabaire eri.

3Kwonka Zelofehaadi mwene Heferi, mwene Gileadi, mwene Makiri, mwene Manaase, tarazaire boojo, kureka abaishiki; kandi aga nigo maziina gaabo, Maala, Noa, Hogula, Milika na Tiruza.

4Baimuka baashanga Eleazaari omunyamurwa, na Yoshua mwene Nuuni, n'abakuru b'eihanga, baagira bati: MUKAMA akaragiira Musa kutuha obuhunguzi na banyaanyaitwe. Nikyo Yoshua yaabaheereire obuhunguzi na beene ishe, nk'ekiragiro kya MUKAMA oku kyabaire kiri.

5Abamanaase baaheebwa ebicweka ikumi, otabariiremu ebyanga bya Gileadi na Bashani seeri ya Yorudani,

6ahabw'okuba bahara ba Manaase bakaheebwa obuhunguzi na baanyaanyabo; kandi Abamanaase abandi baaheebwa ekyanga kya Gileadi.

7Omwatano gw'ekyanga ky'Abamanaase gukaba gutandikira Asheri, guhika Mikemeesa, eri kureeba Shekemu; gugumizamu aha bukiizi-bwa-buryo, guhika omu bantu abatwire Eni-tapua.

8Kandi ekyanga kya Tapua kikaba kiri ekya Manaase, kwonka Tapua aha mwatano gwa Manaase ekaba eri ey'Abaefuraimu.

9Gutyo omwatano gushuuma, guhika aha kagyera Kaana aha rubaju rwako rw'obukiizi-bwa-buryo; endembo ezo zikaba ziri ez'Abaefuraimu ahagati omu ndembo za Manaase; kandi omwatano gwa Manaase gukaba guri aha rubaju rw'obukiizi-bwa-bumosho bw'ako kagyera; nigugarukira aha Nyanja.

10Aha rubaju rw'obukiizi-bwa-buryo ekaba eri eya Efuraimu, kandi aha rubaju rw'obukiizi-bwa-bumosho eri eya Manaase; n'enyanja ekaba eri omwatano gwe; kandi aha bukiizi-bwa-bumosho baahika aha kyanga kya Asheri, kandi oburugwa-izooba bahika aha kya Isakaari.

11Kandi omu byanga bya Isakaari na Asheri, aba Manaase bakaheebwa Besi-sheani na tauni zaarwo, Ibuleamu na tauni zaarwo, n'abantu abatwire Doori na tauni zaarwo, n'abatwire Endoori na tauni zaarwo, n'abatwire Tanaki na tauni zaarwo, n'abatwire Megido na tauni zaarwo, nibyo bibungo bishatu.

12Kwonka aba Manaase tibarabaasize kubinga abantu abaabaire batwire omu ndembo ezo, kureka Abanyakanaani bakenda kuguma batwire omu nsi egyo.

13Kwonka Abaisraeli ku baaherize kuhama, baakoresa Abanyakanaani emirimo y'obuhuuku, tibaababingiramu kimwe.

14Baijukuru ba Yosefu baabuuza Yoshua bati: Ahabwe'enki otuhaire omugabo gw'ekyanga kimwe omu kicweka kimwe kuba obuhunguzi bwaitu; haza turi oruganda ruhango, kandi MUKAMA atuhaire omugisha n'okuhitsya hati?

15Yoshua yaabagarukamu ati: Ku muraabe muri oruganda ruhango, mwinamukye muze omu kibira ky'omu nsi y'Abaperizi n'aba Reefa, mukyetemere, mweshanze; ahabw'okuba ensi y'ebibungo eya Efuraimu efunzire munonga ahariimwe.

16Aba Yosefu baagira bati: Ensi y'ebibungo terikutuhika; kandi Abanyakanaani boona abatwire omu nsi y'empita baine ebigaari by'ebyoma, nibo ba Besi-sheani na tauni zaarwo, n'abatwire omu ruhita rwa Yezereeli.

17Yoshua nikwo kugambira ab'omuryango gwa Yosefu, nibo ba Efuraimu n'aba Manaase, ati: N'ekya buzima muri oruganda ruhango, kandi mwine amaani maingi; timushemereire kuheebwa omugabo gw'ekyanga kimwe kyonka;

18kureka ensi y'ebibungo eryaba eyaanyu; n'obu eraabe eri ey'ekibira, muryakitema, mukikubuure okuhika aha muheru gwakyo; ahakuba Abanyakanaani, n'obu baraabe baine ebigaari by'ebyoma, kandi bari ab'amaani, muryababinga.
