Yoswa 16
1 Dziko limene linapatsidwa kwa fuko la Yosefe linayambira ku mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko, kummawa kwa akasupe a Yeriko, ndiponso kuyambira mtsinje wa Yorodaniwo nʼkumakwera, kudutsa mʼchipululu mpaka ku mapiri a ku Beteli.
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
2 Kuchokera ku Beteli malire ake anakafika ku Luzi, kudutsa dziko la Ataroti kumene kumakhala Aariki.
And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
3 Malirewo anatsikira cha kumadzulo kwa dziko la Yafuleti mpaka ku chigawo cha kumunsi kwa Beti-Horoni. Kuchokera kumeneko anapitirira mpaka ku Gezeri nʼkuthera ku Nyanja.
And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Bethhoron the lower, and to Gezer: and the ends of it are at the sea.
4 Choncho Manase ndi Efereimu, ana a Yosefe analandira cholowa chawo.
So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Dziko la mabanja a fuko la Efereimu ndi ili: Malire a dzikolo anachokera kummawa kwa Ataroti Adari mpaka ku mtunda kwa Beti-Horoni.
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;
6 Malirewo anapitirira mpaka ku nyanja. Mikimetati anali kumpoto kwake. Kuchokera kumeneko anakhotera cha kummawa kuloza ku Taanati Silo ndi kudutsa kumeneko cha kummawa mpaka ku Yanowa.
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7 Ndipo kuchokera ku Yanowa anatsikira ku Ataroti ndi Naara, nakafika ku Yeriko ndi kukathera ku mtsinje wa Yorodani.
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and came out at Jordan.
8 Kuchokera ku Tapuwa anapita kumadzulo mpaka ku mtsinje wa Kana ndi kukathera ku nyanja. Dziko ili linali cholowa cha mabanja afuko la Efereimu,
The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the ends of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9 kuphatikizapo mizinda yonse ndi midzi yake yopatsidwa kwa Efereimu, koma yokhala mʼkati mwa dziko la Manase.
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Iwo sanapirikitse Akanaani amene amakhala ku Gezeri ndipo mpaka lero Akanaani akukhala pakati pa Aefereimu koma amagwira ntchito ngati akapolo.
And they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve at forced labour.
