| 1. | Saba neqashiso naso isizwe sakwaManase; ngokuba ngowamazibulo kuYosefu. Laba noMakire, owamazibulo kuManase, laba noyise kaGiliyadi; laba naye elaseGiliyadi nelaseBhashan, |
| 2. | kuba ebeyindoda yokulwa; laba nabanye oonyana bakaManase ngokwemizalwane yabo; laba noonyana baka-Abhihezere, noonyana bakaHeleki, noonyana baka-Aseriyeli, noonyana bakaShekem, noonyana bakaHefere, noonyana bakaShemida; ngabo abo abantwana abangamadoda bakaManase, unyana kaYosefu, ngokwemizalwane yabo. |
| 3. | Ke uTselofehade, unyana kaHefere, unyana kaGiliyadi, unyana kaMakire, unyana kaManase, ebengenanyana; ebeneentombi zodwa. Ngawo la amagama eentombi zakhe: uMala, noNoha, noHogela, neMilka, noTirtsa. |
| 4. | Zasondela phambi koElazare umbingeleli, naphambi koYoshuwa unyana kaNun, naphambi kwezikhulu, zathi, UYehova wamwisela umthetho uMoses, ukuba asinike ilifa phakathi kwabazalwana bethu. Wazinika ke ngokomlomo kaYehova ilifa phakathi kwabazalwana bakayise. |
| 5. | Zaba lishumi ke izabelo kuManase, ngaphandle kwelizwe laseGiliyadi, neBhashan ephesheya kweYordan; |
| 6. | ngokuba iintombi zikaManase zabelwa ilifa phakathi koonyana bakhe; lathi nelizwe laseGiliyadi laba lelabanye oonyana bakaManase. |
| 7. | Umda kaManase wathabathela kwa-Ashere, waya eMikemetati ephambi kowakwaShekem; wahamba umda ngasekunene, waya kubemi base-En-tapuwa. |
| 8. | UManase waba nelizwe laseTapuwa; ke iTapuwa, ngasemdeni wakwaManase, yaba yeyonyana bakaEfrayim. |
| 9. | Wehla umda waya eMlanjaneni weeNgcongolo, ezantsi komlanjana. Le mizi ilunge kuEfrayim yaba phakathi kwemizi kaManase: nommandla wakwaManase wawungasentla komlanjana; ukuma kwawo waya wema ngolwandle. |
| 10. | Ngasezantsi laba lelikaEfrayim, ngasentla laba lelikaManase; ulwandle lwaba ngumda wakhe. Baqubisana noAshere ngasentla, baqubisana noIsakare ngasempumalanga. |
| 11. | KwaIsakare nakwa-Ashere uManase waba neBhete-shehan namagxamesi ayo, neIbleyam namagxamesi ayo, nabemi baseDore namagxamesi ayo, nabemi base-Endore namagxamesi ayo, nabemi baseTahanaki namagxamesi ayo, nabemi baseMegido namagxamesi ayo, ummandla onduli zintathu. |
| 12. | Babengenako oonyana bakaManase akuyihlutha loo mizi; amaKanan akuphikela ukuma lwelo zwe. |
| 13. | Kwathi, bakomelela oonyana bakaSirayeli, bawafaka uviko amaKanan, abawagqogqa kuphele. |
| 14. | Bathetha oonyana bakaYosefu noYoshuwa, besithi, Yini na ukuba usinike ilifa laqashiso linye, nasabelo sinye, singabantu abaninzi nje, esisikelele nje uYehova kangakanana unangoku? |
| 15. | Wathi uYoshuwa kubo, Ukuba ningabantu abaninzi, nyukani niye emahlathini, nizihlahlele ezweni lamaPerizi nelamaRafa, xa kuxineneyo kuni ezintabeni zakwaEfrayim. |
| 16. | Bathi oonyana bakaYosefu, Ilizwe eli leentaba alisilingene; ke ziinqwelo zesinyithi kumaKanan onke amiyo ezweni lamathafa aseBhete-shehan namagxamesi ayo, kwanasemathafeni aseYizereli. |
| 17. | Wathi uYoshuwa kwindlu kaYosefu, kuEfrayim nakuManase, Ningabantu abaninzi, ninamandla amakhulu; aliyi kuba linye iqashiso lenu; |
| 18. | kuba eleentaba liya kuba lelenu, ngokuba lingamahlathi. Nowa hlahla, iinyele zawo zibe zezenu; kuba niya kuwagqogqa amaKanan, nakuba eneenqwelo zesinyithi, nakuba omelele. |
