Joshua 16
1 The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.
Joseph koca rhoek ham hmulung a naan vaengah Jordan khocuk Jerikho kah Jerikho tui kaepah khosoek la luei tih Jerikho lamloh Bethel tlang la,
2 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
Bethel lamloh Luz la cet tih Arkii Ataroth khorhi la kat.
3 Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
Te phoeiah khotlak kah Japhletee khorhi la suntla tih a dang Bethhoron neh Gezer khorhi, tuili kah a hmoi a hmoi ah om uh.
4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
Te tlam te ni Joseph koca Manasseh neh Ephraim te phaeng la om.
5 This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon
Ephraim koca ah amih cako kah khorhi aka om tah khocuk ah Atarothaddar lamkah Bethhoron kholu due te amih kah rho khorhi la om.
6 and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
Te phoeiah tlangpuei kah Mikmthath tuili rhi te a paan tih khocuk Taanathshiloh rhi la a ken phoeiah khocuk kah Janoah la kat.
7 From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
Te phoeiah Janoah lamkah Ataroth neh Naarah la aka suntla te Jerikho a doo tih Jordan la pawk.
8 From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
Tapuah lamloh tuili rhi ah Kanah soklong la cet tih tuitunli ah a bawtnah om. He Ephraim ca rhoek kah koca rhoek ah amah cako kah rho la om.
9 along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
Hekah khopuei he Manasseh ca rhoek kah rho la aka om khopuei vangca rhoek boeih khui ah Ephraim ca rhoek ham khotlueh la om.
10 But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
Tedae Gezer kah khosa Kanaani te tah haek uh pawh. Te dongah Kanaani loh Ephraim lakli ah tihnin due kho a sak tih aka thotat saldong la om.
