1Isizwe sakwaManase besisabaninzi; ngokuba ebengowamazibulo kuYosefu; Lowo nguMagire, amazibulo kaManase, uyise kaGiliyadi; ngokuba ebeyindoda yokulwa, wayidla ilifa iGiliyadi neBhashan.

2Baba baninzi koonyana bakaManase ngokwemizalwane yabo; koonyana baka-Abhiyezere, noonyana bakaHeleki, noonyana baka-Aseriyeli, noonyana bakaShekem, noonyana bakaHefere, noonyana bakaShemida; ngabo abo oonyana bakaManase, unyana kaYosefu, ngokwemizalwane yabo.

3Ke uTselofehadi, unyana kaHefere, unyana kaGiliyadi, unyana kaMagire, unyana kaManase, ebengenanyana; eneentombi zodwa; Ngawo la amagama eentombi zakhe: nguMagla, noNowa, noHogla, noMilka, noTirtsa.

4Beza kuElazare umbingeleli, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaNun, nakubathetheli, bathi, uYehova wamwisela umthetho uMoses, ukuba asinike ilifa phakathi kwabazalwana bethu. Ngoko wabanika ilifa phakathi kwabantakwaboyise ngokomyalelo kaYehova.

5Zaba lishumi izahlulo kuManase ngaphandle kwelizwe laseGiliyadi, neBhashan ephesheya kweYordan;

6Ngokuba iintombi zikaManase zabelwa ilifa phakathi koonyana bakhe; nelizwe laseGiliyadi laba nabanye oonyana bakaManase.

7Umda kaManase wathabathela kwa-Ashere, waya eMigmeta ephambi kweShekem; kwaye umgca uhamba ngqo kubantu base-Entapuag.

8Ilizwe laseTapuwa laba lelakwaManase, kodwa iTapuwa, emdeni kaManase, yaba yeyoonyana bakaEfrayim;

9Wehla umda wommandla waya emfuleni iKana, ezantsi komlambo; Le mizi yakwaEfrayim yayiphakathi kwemizi yakwaManase; Umda kaManase waba ngasentla koMlambo, ukuma kwawo waya wema ngolwandle;

10Ngasezantsi laba lelakwaEfrayim, ngasentla laba lelikaManase; ulwandle lwaba ngumda walo; bahlanganisana kwa-Ashere ngasentla, nakwaIsakare ngasempumalanga.

11uManase wayidla ilifa iBhete-shehan namadlelo ayo, neIbleyam namadlelo ayo, nabemi beDore namadlelo ayo, nabemi base-Endore namadlelo ayo, nabemi baseTahanaki namadlelo ayo abemi baseMegido namagxamesi ayo: amazwe amathathu.

12Babengenako oonyana bakaManase ukuyigqogqa loo mizi; kodwa amaKanan afuna ukuhlala kwelo lizwe.

13Ke oonyana bakaSirayeli bazinikela amandla, bawahlawulisa amaKanan; kodwa akabakhuphanga konke konke.

14Bathetha oonyana bakaYosefu kuYoshuwa, bathi, Yini na ukuba usinike ilifa lalinye, nesabelo sibe sinye, ekubeni ndiluhlanga olukhulu, uYehova endisikelele unangoku?

15Wathi uYoshuwa kubo, Ukuba niluhlanga olukhulu, nyukani niye ehlathini, nimise ezweni lamaPersi nelakwaEfrayim, njengokuba ixinene kuni intaba yakwaEfrayim.

16Bathi oonyana bakaYosefu, Induli le ayisilingene; yaye onke amaKanan awayehlala kwilizwe elisentlanjeni aneenqwelo zokulwa zentsimbi, lawo ayevela eBheteshan needolophu ezilapho nabo babevela entlanjeni eYizereli.

17Wathi uYoshuwa kwindlu kaYosefu, uEfrayim noManase, Niluhlanga olukhulu, ninamandla amakhulu; mhlawumbi awunalo ikamva elinye.

18Ke yona intaba iya kuba yeyenu; kuba lungumthi, wowugawula; nezithako zayo ziya kuba zezakho; kuba niya kuwagqogqa amaKanan, nakuba eneenqwelo zentsimbi yaye omelele.
