Joshua 16

1 The lot came out for the descendants of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

Yosef asefoɔ no kyɛfa firi Asubɔnten Yordan fa a ɛbɛn Yeriko, wɔ Yeriko nsuwa no apueeɛ fam, kɔfa ɛserɛ no so kɔpue Bet-El bepɔ asase no so.

2 It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth;

Ɛfiri Bet-El (a ɛyɛ Lus) a, ɛfa Atarot a ɛwɔ Arkifoɔ mantam mu.

3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Lower Beth Horon, even to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

Esiane fa atɔeɛ fam kɔsi Bet-Horon Anafoɔ a ɛwɔ Yafletifoɔ mantam mu. Ɛtoa so kɔ Geser na afei akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mu.

4 The descendants of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Yosef mmammarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapadeɛ.

5 This was the border of the descendants of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Upper Beth Horon.

Wɔde saa asase yi maa Efraim mmusua sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ. Wɔn agyapadeɛ no ɛhyeɛ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no firi Atarot-Adar. Ɛfiri hɔ kɔ Bet-Horon Soro,

6 The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north of Termah. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.

na akɔ Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no ho. Atifi fam ɛhyeɛ no firi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no, ɛfa apueeɛ fam, twam wɔ Mikmetat, na akontono afa apueeɛ fam, atwam wɔ Taanat-Silo akɔ Yanoa apueeɛ fam.

7 It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naaratah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

Ɛfiri Yanoa a, ɛdane fa anafoɔ fam kɔ Atarot ne Naara, ɛka Yeriko, na akɔpem Asubɔnten Yordan.

8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to Wadi Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim according to their families;

Ɛfiri Tapua a, ɛhyeɛ no kɔ atɔeɛ fam, nam Kana Suka no mu kɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no. Saa agyapadeɛ yi na wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Efraim abusuakuo no.

9 together with the cities which were set apart for the descendants of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the descendants of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

Wɔde nkuro bi ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuo no fa mantam mu maa Efraim.

10 They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.

Wɔampamo Kanaanfoɔ no amfiri Geser, enti Geserfoɔ te hɔ sɛ nkoa bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
