Joshua 16

1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel, (fell: Heb. went forth)

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 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

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

3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are 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 the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Yosef mmabarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapade.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

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 the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

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 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

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

8 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

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 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

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

10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

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