< 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:
A, ko te rota i nga tama a Hohepa, i rere atu i Horano i Heriko, i nga wai o Heriko ki te rawhiti, a tae noa ki te koraha, e aupiki atu ra i Heriko ma te whenua pukepuke ki Peteere;
2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Ataroth,
Na ka haere atu i Peteere ki Rutu, a tika tonu atu ki nga rohe o Araki ki Ataroto,
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:
Na ka haere ki raro whaka te hauauru ki te rohe o Iapareti tae noa ki te rohe o Petehorono ki raro, ki Ketere: a ko tona putanga atu kei te moana.
4 And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it.
Na ka riro i nga tama a Hohepa, i a Manahi raua ko Eparaima to ratou kainga tupu.
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.
A ko te rohe tenei ki nga tama a Eparaima, ki o ratou kainga whaka te rawhiti ko Ataroto Arara, tae noa ki Petehorono ki runga;
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.
A i puta atu te rohe whaka te hauauru ki Mikimeta ki te raki; a i awhio haere te rohe whaka te rawhiti ki Taanata Hiro, a ka whakarerea atu a reira i te taha ki te rawhiti o Ianoha;
7 And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan.
Na ka anga i Ianoha ki raro ki Ataroto, a ki Naarata, a ka pa ki Heriko, puta rawa atu kei Horano.
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.
I haere atu te rohe i Tapua whaka te hauauru ki te awa ki Kanaha; a kei te moana ona putanga atu. Ko te wahi tupu tenei o te iwi o nga tama a Eparaima, o o ratou hapu:
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.
Me nga pa i motuhia mo nga tama a Eparaima i roto i te wahi o nga tama a Manahi, nga pa katoa me nga kainga o aua pa.
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.
A kihai i peia e ratou te Kanaani e noho ana i Ketere: heoi noho ana te Kanaani i waenganui o Eparaima a taea noatia tenei ra, a ka meinga hei pononga, hei mahi i nga mahi.
