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；

The boundary for the allocation of the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan near Jericho, then east of the springs of Jericho and through the wilderness from Jericho up into the hill country of Bethel.

2 又從伯特利到路斯，接連到亞基人的境界，至亞他綠；

From Bethel (or Luz) it continued to the border of Ataroth the Arkite.

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。

Then it descended west to the border of the Japhletites and the border of Lower Beth-horon, on up to Gezer, and then out to the sea.

4 約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮就得了他們的地業。

This was the allocation received by the descendants of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.

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；

This was the territory allocated to the tribe of Ephraim, by families. The boundary of their allocation ran from Ataroth-addar in the east to 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 then on to the sea. From Michmethath in the north the boundary turned east passing Taanath-shiloh to the east of 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；

From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, then touched Jericho and ended at 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 the boundary ran west to the Brook of Kanah and then out to the sea. This was the land allotted to the tribe of Ephraim, by 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。

Also some towns with their associated villages that lay in the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh were assigned to the tribe of Ephraim.

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。

However, they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites live among the tribe of Ephraim to this very day, but as forced laborers.
