Joshua 16

1 And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan over against Jericho and the waters thereof, on the east: the wilderness which goeth up from Jericho to the mountain 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 goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Ataroth,

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

3 And goeth down westward, by the border of Jephleti, unto the borders of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gazer: and the countries of it are ended by the great sea:

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

4 And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it.

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 kindreds: and their possession towards the east was Ataroth-addar unto Beth-horon the upper.

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

6 And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo: and passeth along on the east side to Janoe.

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

7 And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan.

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

8 From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

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

9 And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses.

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 And the children of Ephraim slew not the Chanaanite, who dwelt in Gazer: and the Chanaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim until this day, paying 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.
