Joshua 16

1 And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel.

Joseph catounnaw ni cungpam a khoe awh teh a pang awh e râw talai ramri teh, Jordan palang teng, Jeriko kho kanîtholah Jeriko kho tui koehoi kahrawng lam lahoi Bethel mon pueng dawkvah a cei.

2 And [the border] went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,

Bethel hoi Luz kho lah, Ataroth e Ark taminaw e khori totouh,

3 and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

kanîloumlah, Japhlet kho lah, Bethhoron kho lah, Gezer kho lah a pha teh tuipui dawk a pout.

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

Hottelah Joseph e ca Manasseh hoi Ephraim naw ni râw teh a coe awh.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;

Ephraim ni imthung lahoi kaawm e talai ramri teh kanîtholah, Atarothaddar kho hoi Bethhoron koe lah,

6 and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah,

atunglah tuipui teng, Mikmethath kho koe a tâco. Hahoi kanîtholah Taanathshiloh kho, kanîtholah a cei teh,

7 and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.

Janoah kho koe lah, Ataroth, Naarah, Jeriko lah a pha teh, Jordan palang dawk a pout.

8 From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,

Tappuah kho hoi kanîloumlah a cei teh Kanah palang koe lah a cei teh, tuipui dawk a pout.

9 with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.

Hetheteh Manasseh miphunnaw râw a coe awh e talai dawk Ephraim miphunnaw hanelah a khuen pouh e khonaw hoi Ephraim miphun imthung lahoi râw a coe awh e khonaw lah ao.

10 But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute.

Gezer kho dawk kaawm e kanaan naw hah pâlei laipalah ahnimouh teh sahnin totouh Ephraim miphunnaw hoi rei ao awh teh aphawng a cawng awh.
