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.
Sinovima Josipovim pripao je ždrijebom posjed: od Jordana kod Jerihona, od Jerihonskih voda na istok, pa pustinjom k Betelskoj gori;
2 And [the border] went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,
od Betel-Luza međa se nastavljala područjem Arkijaca do Atarota.
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.
Potom se spuštala na zapad do jafletske međe, sve do Donjeg Bet-Horona i do Gezera, odakle je izlazila na more.
4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
To je bila baština Josipovih sinova: Manašea i Efrajima.
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;
Područje sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama bilo je ovo: međa baštine njihove prema istoku išla je od Atrot Adara pa do Gornjega Bet-Horona.
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,
Odatle se pružala do mora ... (išla na) Mikmetat na sjeveru i zavijala dalje na istok prema Taanat Šilu i prolazila s istočne strane do Janoaha.
7 and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.
Od Janoaha spuštala se u Atarot i Naarat i onda, dotičući se Jerihona, udarala na Jordan.
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,
Od Tapuaha išla je ta međa prema zapadu do potoka Kane te izbijala na more. To je bila baština plemena sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama.
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.
A Efrajimovi su sinovi imali sve te gradove s njihovim selima i još odvojene gradove usred baštine sinova Manašeovih.
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.
Ali nisu uspjeli otjerati Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru. Tako su Kanaanci ostali među sinovima Efrajimovim do danas, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka.
