Joshua 16

1 And the lot for the children of Joseph went out 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 Beth-el;

Pea naʻe tō ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa mei Soatani ʻo ofi ki Seliko, ki he vai ʻo Seliko ʻi he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu mei Seliko ʻo ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ko Peteli,

2 and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;

Pea ʻoku ʻalu ai mei Peteli ki Lusa, ʻo ʻalu ai pe ki he ngaahi potu fonua ʻo ʻAliki, mo ʻAtaloti.

3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer: and the goings out thereof were at the sea.

Pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ʻi he potu lulunga ki he potu ʻo Safileti, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo Pete-Holoni ʻi lalo, pea ki Kesa: pea ʻoku aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki he tahi.

4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Pea ko e fānau ʻa Siosefa ko Manase mo ʻIfalemi, naʻa na maʻu hona tofiʻa.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;

Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga naʻe pehē: ʻio, ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo honau tofiʻa ki he potu hahake naʻe ʻi ʻAtaloti ata, ʻo aʻu atu ki Pete-holoni ʻi hahake;

6 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu hono ngataʻanga ʻo hanga atu ki tahi ki Mikimeta ʻi he potu tokelau; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he potu hahake ki Tenate-Sailo, pea mole ai ʻi he potu hahake ki Sanoa;

7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

Pea ʻalu hifo mei Sanoa ki ʻAtaloti, pea ki Neelati, ʻo aʻu ki Seliko, pea ngata atu ia ki Soatani.

8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;

Pea naʻe ʻalu hono ngataʻanga mei Tapua ʻi he potu lulunga ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko Kana; pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia ko e tahi. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.

9 together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

Pea ko e ngaahi kolo tuʻu kehe naʻe tuku ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase, ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kolo mo honau ngaahi potu kakai.

10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do taskwork.

Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi kituaʻā ʻae kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa: ka kuo nofo ʻae kau Kēnani fakataha mo e kakai ʻIfalemi, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻonau tauhi mo tukuhau ki ai.
