約書亞記 16

1 若瑟的子孫抽籤分得的土地，從耶利哥對面的約旦河起，到耶利哥東面的水源，沿著曠野，由耶利哥向上到貝特爾山區，

And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan over against Jericho and the waters thereof, on the east: the wilderness which goeth up from Jericho to the mountain of Bethel:

2 再由貝特耳路次，沿著阿爾基人的邊境，直到下貝特曷龍的邊境，以迄於革則爾，直達於海邊邊境

And goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Ataroth,

3 這是若瑟的兒子默納協和厄弗辣因分得的產業。

And goeth down westward, by the border of Jephleti, unto the borders of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gazer: and the countries of it are ended by the great sea:

4 這是若望的兒子默納協和厄弗辣因分得的產業。

And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it.

5 以下是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的土地：他們產業的邊界，東面是阿塔洛特阿達爾，直到上貝特曷龍，

And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their kindreds: and their possession towards the east was Ataroth-addar unto Beth-horon the upper.

6 直達於海。北端是米革默塔特，由此向東轉向塔納特史羅，越過雅諾亞東部，

And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo: and passeth along on the east side to Janoe.

7 再由雅諾亞下至阿塔洛特和納阿辣，經耶利哥直達約旦河。

And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan.

8 又從塔普亞往西到卡納谷，直達於海：以上是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的產業。

From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

9 此外，屬默納協子孫的產業中，還有給厄弗辣因子孫保留的城市──城市和所屬的村鎮。

And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses.

10 但是他們未能將住在革則爾的客納罕人趕走，因此客納罕人直到今天還住在厄弗辣因人中間，充當苦役。

And the children of Ephraim slew not the Chanaanite, who dwelt in Gazer: and the Chanaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim until this day, paying tribute.
