Joshua 16
1 And the lot for the sons of Joseph goes out from Jordan [by] Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,
Nchi waliyopewa kabila la Yusufu ilianzia katika Yordani huko Yeriko, mashariki mwa chemichemi za Yeriko, kupitia nyikani, kupanda kutoka Yeriko kupitia nchi ya milima ya Betheli.
2 and has gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over to the border of Archi [to] Ataroth,
Kisha uliendelea kutoka Betheli hadi Luzi na kupita hata Atarothi, iliyo miliki ya Waarkiti.
3 and gone down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of the lower Beth-Horon, and to Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
Kisha ilishuka chini upande wa magharibi kuelekea himaya ya Wayafuleti, hadi kufika miliki ya Loweri Bethi Horoni, na kisha iliendelea hadi Gezeri; na ilikomea katika bahari.
4 And the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—inherit.
Ilikuwa ni kwa njia hii makabila ya Yusufu, yaani Manase na Efraimu yalipata urithi wao.
5 And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar to the upper Beth-Horon;
Eneo la kabila la Efraimu ambalo lilikuwa limegawanya kwa koo zao lilikuwa kama ifuatavyo: mpaka wa urithi wao katika upande wa mashariki ulikuwa Atarothi Ada uliopanda kuelekea Bethi Horoni ya juu,
6 and the border has gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border has gone around eastward [to] Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,
na kutoka pale uliendelea hadi katika bahari. Kutoka Mikimethathi katika upande wa Kasikazini ulipinda upande wa mashariki kuelkea Taanathi Shilo na kupita ng'ambo yake katika upande wa mashariki kukabili Yanoa.
7 and gone down from Janohah [to] Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.
Kisha ulishuka kutoka Yanoa hadi Atarothi na hata Naara, na kisha ukafika Yeriko, na kuishia katika Yordani.
8 From Tappuah the border goes westward to the Brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their families.
Kutoka Tapua, mpaka uliendelea katika upande wa magharibi hata kijito cha Kana na ulikomea katika bahari. Huu ulikuwa ni urithi wa kabila la Efraimu, uliogawanywa katika koo zao,
9 And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;
pamoja na miji yao iliyochaguliwa kwa ajili ya kabila la Efraimu iliyokuwa ndani ya urithi wa kabila la Manase - miji yote pamoja na vijiji vyao.
10 and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and is for forced labor—serving.
Lakini hawakuwafukuza Wakanaani walioishi katika Gezeri, hivyo basi Wakanaani wanaishi ndani ya Efraimu hadi leo, lakini watu hawa walifanywa kuwa watumwa.
