< Jošua 16 >
1 Sinovima Josipovim pripao je ždrijebom posjed: od Jordana kod Jerihona, od Jerihonskih voda na istok, pa pustinjom k Betelskoj gori;
And the lot for the children of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to the wilderness, even to Beth-el.
2 od Betel-Luza međa se nastavljala područjem Arkijaca do Atarota.
And it went out from Beth-el-luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth.
3 Potom se spuštala na zapad do jafletske međe, sve do Donjeg Bet-Horona i do Gezera, odakle je izlazila na more.
And it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea.
4 To je bila baština Josipovih sinova: Manašea i Efrajima.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Područje sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama bilo je ovo: međa baštine njihove prema istoku išla je od Atrot Adara pa do Gornjega Bet-Horona.
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus; even the border of their inheritance eastward was Atroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper.
6 Odatle se pružala do mora ... (išla na) Mikmetat na sjeveru i zavijala dalje na istok prema Taanat Šilu i prolazila s istočne strane do Janoaha.
And the border went out westward, Mich-methath being on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.
7 Od Janoaha spuštala se u Atarot i Naarat i onda, dotičući se Jerihona, udarala na Jordan.
And it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 Od Tapuaha išla je ta međa prema zapadu do potoka Kane te izbijala na more. To je bila baština plemena sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama.
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
9 A Efrajimovi su sinovi imali sve te gradove s njihovim selima i još odvojene gradove usred baštine sinova Manašeovih.
together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Ali nisu uspjeli otjerati Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru. Tako su Kanaanci ostali među sinovima Efrajimovim do danas, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka.
And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do taskwork.
