Joshua 16

1 And the lot came out for the sons of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Bethel.

Yosef ƒe vi siawo, ame siwo nye Efraim kple Manase ƒe viwo la, ƒe anyigba dze egɔme tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la ŋu le Yeriko, to gbegbe la va yi tonyigba la dzi le Betel,

2 And it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,

to afi ma yi Luz kple Atarɔt

3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, even to Gezer. And the goings out of it were at the sea.

le Arkitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, ɖo ta ɣetoɖoƒe, yi Yafletitɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi, yi keke Bet Horon le gbadzaƒe, to Gezer heyi ɖatɔ Domeƒu la.

4 And the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Esiae nye anyigba si Yosef ƒe viwo, Manase kple Efraim woxɔ.

5 And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper,

Esiae nye Efraim ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba le woƒe ƒome nu. Efraim ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe liƒo tso Atarot Ada ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe heyi Bet Horon le toawo dzi,

6 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah,

eye wòtso afi ma yi Domeƒu la ŋu. Mixmetat nɔ eƒe anyiehe lɔƒo. Liƒo la bi ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe; edze le Taanat Silo ŋu le Yanoa ƒe ɣedzeƒe

7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

hetrɔ yi anyigbeme, yi Atarɔt kple Naara, ɖatɔ Yeriko, eye wòwu nu ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.

8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah. And the goings out of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,

Eƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo ƒe afã le dzigbeme gome tso Tapua, to Kana tɔʋu la ŋu yi ɖatɔ Domeƒu la. Esia nye Efraimviwo ƒe to la ƒe anyigba le woƒe ƒomeawo nu.

9 together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

Wotsɔ du aɖewo tso Manase to la ƒe afã ƒe anyigba dzi hã na Efraim ƒe viwo.

10 And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do task work.

Womenya Kanaantɔ siwo nɔ Gezer la ɖa le anyigba la dzi o, ale wogale Efraim ƒe viwo dome abe kluviwo ene.
