Mu mugabane wa Manase harimwo abakobwa batanu basaba, bishingiye ku vyo Data wacu yategetse Musa, iragi se wabo atari afise abahungu bo kuryakira, kandi bararihabwa. Abakomoka kuri Yozefu binuba ko umugabane wabo ari muto; Yosuwa ababwira gutema ishamba no kureka gutinya amagare y'intambara y'icuma.
17 1Akalulu k’umuryango wa Manasi, imfura ya Yozefu: Makiri, imfura ya Manasi, na se wa Gileyadi, yahawe Gileyadi na Bashani, kuko yari umunyintambara. 2Abandi bana ba Manasi bahawe ivyibare bakurikije imiryango yabo: Abiyezeri, Heleki, Asiriyeli, Shekemu, Heferi, Shemida—ni abo mu rutonde rw’abahungu ba Manasi mwene Yozefu, bakurikije imiryango yabo. 3Zelofehadi—uwavuye kuri Manasi biciye kuri Makiri, kuri Gileyadi, kuri Heferi—ntiyari afise abahungu, yari afise abakobwa gusa: Mahila, Nowa, Hogula, Milika na Tiruza. 4Baje imbere ya Eleyazari umuherezi, na Yosuwa mwene Nuni, n’abakuru, bati: “Data wa twese yategetse Musa ngo aduhe intoranwa hagati y’abavukanyi bacu.” Nuko ku rw’itegeko rya Data wa twese, Yosuwa abaha intoranwa hagati y’abavukanyi ba se wabo. 5Ibice cumi vyagwa kuri Manasi, kiretse igihugu ca Gileyadi na Bashani vyari hakurya ya Yorodani, 6kuko abakobwa ba Manasi bahawe intoranwa hagati y’abahungu biwe. Igihugu ca Gileyadi cari ic’abandi bahungu ba Manasi. 7Akarere ka Manasi kava kuri Asheri gashika kuri Mikimetati, iburasirazuba bwa Shekemu; maze kamanuka mu bumanuko gushika ku bantu bo muri Eni-Tapuwa. 8Manasi yari afise igihugu ca Tapuwa, mugabo Tapuwa yo ku rubibe rwa Manasi yari iy’abahungu ba Efurayimu. 9Urubibe rwamanuka rushika ku mwonga wa Kana. Mu bumanuko bw’uwo mwonga, ivyo bisagara biri hagati y’ivya Manasi vyari ivya Efurayimu; urubibe rwa Manasi rwaca mu buraruko bw’uwo mwonga rugashika ku kiyaga. 10Igihugu ca Efurayimu cari mu bumanuko, ica Manasi mu buraruko, kibe ikiyaga ni co rubibe rwaco. Mu buraruko bashika kuri Asheri, mu buseruko bashika kuri Isakari. 11Muri Isakari na muri Asheri, Manasi kandi yari afise Beti-Sheyani n’ivyaro vyaho, Ibuleyamu n’ivyaro vyaho, abenegihugu ba Dori n’ivyaro vyaho, aba Eni-Dori n’ivyaro vyaho, aba Taanaki n’ivyaro vyaho, n’aba Megido n’ivyaro vyaho—udusozi dutatu. 12Mugabo abahungu ba Manasi ntibashoboye gufata ivyo bisagara, Abanyakanani baguma baba muri ico gihugu. 13Igihe Abisirayeli bagwiza inguvu, batsindagiriza Abanyakanani ngo bakore uburetwa, mugabo ntibabirukana rwose. 14Abahungu ba Yozefu babaza Yosuwa bati: “Kubera iki waduhaye akalulu kamwe n’igice kimwe kibe intoranwa? Twebwe turi igisata kinini, kuko Data wa twese yaduhezagiye gushika ubu.”
15Yosuwa arabishura ati: “Nimba muri benshi cane, nimuduge mu ishamba muciye igihugu ng’aho mu karere k’Abaperizi n’Abarefayimu, ko igisagara c’imisozi ca Efurayimu kibabera gifunganye.”
16Abahungu ba Yozefu bati: “Igisagara c’imisozi ntikiraduhaza, kandi Abanyakanani bose bo mu kibaya bafise amagare y’icuma—abo i Beti-Sheyani n’ivyaro vyaho n’abo mu kibaya ca Yezireyeli.”
17Nuko Yosuwa abwira inzu ya Yozefu—Efurayimu na Manasi—ati: “Muri benshi kandi mufise inguvu nyinshi cane. Ntimuzogira akalulu kamwe gusa, 18kuko igisagara c’imisozi na co kizoba icanyu. Ni ishamba, mugabo muzorikata, n’imbibe zaryo za kure zizoba izanyu. Muzokwirukana Abanyakanani, naho amagare yabo ari ay’icuma kandi bakomeye.”
