Joshua 16
1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth-el,
La parte toccata a sorte ai figliuoli di Giuseppe si estendeva dal Giordano presso Gerico, verso le acque di Gerico a oriente, seguendo il deserto che sale da Gerico a Bethel per la contrada montuosa.
2 And [the boundary] went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to 'Ataroth,
Il confine continuava poi da Bethel a Luz, e passava per la frontiera degli Archei ad Ataroth,
3 And went down westward to the boundary of the Yaphleti, unto the border of Beth-choron the lower, and to Gezer; and its terminations were toward the sea.
scendeva a occidente verso il confine dei Giafletei sino al confine di Beth-Horon disotto e fino a Ghezer, e faceva capo al mare.
4 This did the children of Joseph, Menasseh and Ephraim, take as their inheritance.
I figliuoli di Giuseppe, Manasse ed Efraim, ebbero ciascuno la loro eredità.
5 And [this] was the boundary of the children of Ephraim according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance on the east side was 'Atroth-addar, up to Beth-choron the upper;
Or questi furono i confini de’ figliuoli di Efraim, secondo le loro famiglie. Il confine della loro eredità era, a oriente, Atharoth-Addar, fino a Beth-Horon disopra;
6 And the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;
continuava, dal lato di occidente, verso Micmetath al nord, girava a oriente verso Taanath-Scilo e le passava davanti, a oriente di Ianoah.
7 And it went down from Yanochah to 'Ataroth, and to Na'arath, and touched on Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
Poi da Ianoah scendeva ad Ataroth e a Naarah, toccava Gerico, e faceva capo al Giordano.
8 From Tappuach westward the border went out unto the brook Kanah; and its terminations were toward the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim after their families;
Da Tappuah il confine andava verso occidente fino al torrente di Kana, per far capo al mare. Tale fu l’eredità della tribù dei figliuoli d’Efraim, secondo le loro famiglie,
9 And [in addition to this] the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menasseh, all the cities with their villages.
con l’aggiunta delle città (tutte città coi loro villaggi), messe a parte per i figliuoli di Efraim in mezzo all’eredità dei figliuoli di Manasse.
10 And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.
Or essi non cacciarono i Cananei che abitavano a Ghezer; e i Cananei hanno dimorato in mezzo a Efraim fino al dì d’oggi, ma sono stati soggetti a servitù.
