約書亞記 16

1 約瑟的子孫拈鬮所得之地是從靠近耶利哥的約旦河起，以耶利哥東邊的水為界：從耶利哥上去，通過山地的曠野，到伯特利；

Similarly, the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan, opposite Jericho and its waters, to the east, to the wilderness that ascends from Jericho to the mountain of Bethel.

2 又從伯特利到路斯，接連到亞基人的境界，至亞他綠；

And it goes out from Bethel to Luz. And it crosses the border of Archi to Ataroth.

3 又往西下到押利提人的境界，到下伯‧和崙的境界，直到基色，通到海為止。

And it descends to the west, beside the border of Japhleti, as far as the borders of lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer. And the last parts of its regions are by the great sea.

4 約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮就得了他們的地業。

And Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons of Joseph, possessed it.

5 以法蓮子孫的境界，按着宗族所得的，記在下面：他們地業的東界是亞他綠‧亞達到上伯‧和崙；

And the border of the sons of Ephraim was made by their families. And their possession toward the east was from Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-horon,

6 往西通到北邊的密米他，又向東繞到他納‧示羅，又接連到雅挪哈的東邊；

and the confines extend to the sea. Yet truly, Michmethath looks toward the north, and it circles around the borders, toward the east, into Taanath-shiloh. And it continues on, from the east, to Janoah.

7 從雅挪哈下到亞他綠，又到拿拉，達到耶利哥，通到約旦河為止；

And it descends from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah. and it continues to Jericho, and it extends to the Jordan.

8 從他普亞往西，到加拿河，直通到海為止。這就是以法蓮支派按着宗族所得的地業。

From Tappuah, it passes on, opposite the sea, into the Valley of Reeds. And its exit is at the very salty sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their families.

9 另外在瑪拿西人地業中得了些城邑和屬城的村莊。這都是分給以法蓮子孫的。

And there were cities, with their villages, which were set aside for the sons of Ephraim, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Manasseh.

10 他們沒有趕出住基色的迦南人；迦南人卻住在以法蓮人中間，成為做苦工的僕人，直到今日。

And the sons of Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite that was living at Gezer. And the Canaanite lived in the midst of Ephraim, even to this day, paying tribute.
