< 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.
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 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.

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.

4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
Esiae nye anyigba si Yosef ƒe viwo, Manase kple Efraim woxɔ.
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
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 out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.

7 From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came 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 westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
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 along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
Wotsɔ du aɖewo tso Manase to la ƒe afã ƒe anyigba dzi hã na Efraim ƒe viwo.
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.
Womenya Kanaantɔ siwo nɔ Gezer la ɖa le anyigba la dzi o, ale wogale Efraim ƒe viwo dome abe kluviwo ene.
