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.
Mgawanyo wa Yosefu ulianzia Yordani ya Yeriko, mashariki mwa miji ya Yeriko na kutoka hapo ulipanda kupitia jangwani na kuingia katika nchi ya vilima ya Betheli.
2 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
Ukaendelea kutoka Betheli (ndiyo Luzu), ukavuka kuingia eneo la Waariki huko Atarothi,
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.
ukateremkia kuelekea magharibi hadi eneo la Wayafleti ukienea hadi eneo la Beth-Horoni ya Chini hadi Gezeri, ukiishia baharini.
4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
Kwa hiyo Manase na Efraimu, wazao wa Yosefu, walipokea urithi wao.
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
Hili ndilo lilikuwa eneo la Efraimu, ukoo kwa ukoo: Mpaka wa urithi wao ulianzia Ataroth-Adari upande wa mashariki hadi Beth-Horoni ya Juu,
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.
na kuendelea mpaka baharini. Kutoka Mikmeta upande wa kaskazini ulipinda kuelekea mashariki hadi Taanath-Shilo, ukiupita hadi Yanoa upande wa mashariki.
7 From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
Kisha uliteremka kutoka Yanoa hadi Atarothi na Naara, ukagusa Yeriko na kutokea katika Mto Yordani.
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,
Kutoka Tapua mpaka ulikwenda magharibi hadi Bonde la Kana na kuishia baharini. Huu ulikuwa ndio urithi wa kabila la Waefraimu, ukoo kwa ukoo.
9 along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
Pia ulijumuisha miji yote na vijiji vyake ambavyo vilitengwa kwa ajili ya Waefraimu ndani ya urithi wa kabila la Manase.
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.
Hawakuwatoa Wakanaani waishio Gezeri; mpaka leo Wakanaani wanaishi miongoni mwa watu wa Efraimu lakini wanatakiwa kufanya kazi ngumu za kulazimishwa.
