يَشُوع 16

١ 1 أَمَّا الأَرْضُ الَّتِي وَرِثَهَا أَبْنَاءُ يُوسُفَ فَقَدِ امْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهَا مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ عِنْدَ أَرِيحَا حَتَّى مِيَاهِ أَرِيحَا شَرْقاً، عَبْرَ الصَّحْرَاءِ الصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ أَرِيحَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ،

And the lot for the sons of Joseph goes out from Jordan [by] Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,

٢ 2 وَتَسْتَمِرُّ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى لُوزَ، مُخْتَرِقَةً تُخْمَ الأَرَكِيِّينَ إِلَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَ عَطَارُوتَ،

and has gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over to the border of Archi [to] Ataroth,

٣ 3 ثُمَّ تَتَّجِهُ غَرْباً إِلَى حُدُودِ الْيَفْلَطِيِّينَ حَتَّى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ السُّفْلَى فَجَازَرَ، وَتَنْتَهِي عِنْدَ شَوَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ.

and gone down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of the lower Beth-Horon, and to Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

٤ 4 وَهَكَذَا تَسَلَّمَتْ ذُرِّيَّتَا مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ ابْنَيْ يُوسُفَ مِيرَاثَهُمَا.

And the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—inherit.

٥ 5 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ حُدُودُ أَرْضِ أَبْنَاءِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: تَبْدَأُ حُدُودُهُمُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ عَطَارُوتَ أَدَّارَ، وَتَمْتَدُّ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ الْعُلْيَا.

And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar to the upper Beth-Horon;

٦ 6 وَتَسْتَمِرُّ حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ. وَتَبْدَأُ حُدُودُهُمُ الشِّمَالِيَّةُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَتَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْمَكْمَتَةِ، ثُمَّ تَلْتَفُّ شَرْقاً إِلَى تَآنَةِ شِيلُوهَ فَتَعْبُرُهَا شَرْقاً إِلَى يَنُوحَةَ،

and the border has gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border has gone around eastward [to] Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,

٧ 7 وَتَنْحَدِرُ مِنْ يَنُوحَةَ إِلَى عَطَارُوتَ وَنَعَرَاتَ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى أَرِيحَا، اِنْتِهَاءً بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

and gone down from Janohah [to] Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.

٨ 8 وَتَتَّجِهُ الْحُدُودُ مِنْ تَفُّوحَ غَرْباً إِلَى وَادِي قَانَةَ وَتَنْتَهِي عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ.

From Tappuah the border goes westward to the Brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their families.

٩ 9 هَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، مَعَ جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ وَالضِّيَاعِ الْمُخَصَّصَةِ لَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِ مَنَسَّى:

And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;

١٠ 10 وَلَمْ يَنْفُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي جَازَرَ، فَظَلَّ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنِينَ فِي وَسَطِ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ كَعَبِيدٍ يَدْفَعُونَ الْجِزْيَةَ.

and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and is for forced labor—serving.
