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 asefo no kyɛfa fi Asubɔnten Yordan fa a ɛbɛn Yeriko, wɔ Yeriko nsuwa no apuei fam, kɔfa sare no so kopue Bet-El bepɔw asase no so.

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

Efi Bet-El, a ɛyɛ Lus, a ɛfa Atarot a ɛwɔ Arkifo mantam mu.

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.

Esian fa atɔe fam kosi Bet-Horon Anafo a ɛwɔ Yafletifo mantam mu. Ɛtoa so kɔ Geser na afei akosi Po Kɛse no mu.

4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.

Yosef mmabarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapade.

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

Wɔde saa asase yi maa Efraim mmusua sɛ wɔn agyapade. Wɔn agyapade no hye a ɛwɔ apuei fam no fi Atarot-Adar. Efi hɔ kɔ Bet-Horon Soro,

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 akɔ Po Kɛse no ho. Atifi fam hye no fi Po Kɛse no, ɛfa apuei fam, twa mu wɔ Mikmetat, na akɔntɔn afa apuei fam, atwa mu wɔ Taanat-Silo akɔ Yanoa apuei fam.

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

Efi Yanoa a, ɛdan fa anafo fam kɔ Atarot ne Naara, ɛka Yeriko, na akɔpem Asubɔnten Yordan.

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,

Efi Tapua a, ɔhye no kɔ atɔe fam, nam Kana Suka no mu kosi Po Kɛse no. Saa agyapade yi na wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Efraim abusuakuw no.

9 along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.

Wɔde nkurow bi ne wɔn nkuraase a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuw no fa mantam mu maa Efraim.

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.

Wɔampam Kanaanfo no amfi Geser, enti Geserfo te hɔ sɛ nkoa de besi nnɛ.
