Joshua 16

1 The assignment of land for the tribe of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel.

Joseph catounnaw ni cungpam a khoe awh teh a pang awh e râw talai ramri teh, Jordan palang teng, Jeriko kho kanîtholah Jeriko kho tui koehoi kahrawng lam lahoi Bethel mon pueng dawkvah a cei.

2 Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.

Bethel hoi Luz kho lah, Ataroth e Ark taminaw e khori totouh,

3 Then it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth Horon, and then on to Gezer; it ended at the sea.

kanîloumlah, Japhlet kho lah, Bethhoron kho lah, Gezer kho lah a pha teh tuipui dawk a pout.

4 It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received their inheritance.

Hottelah Joseph e ca Manasseh hoi Ephraim naw ni râw teh a coe awh.

5 The territory of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan: The border of their inheritance on the east went from Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon,

Ephraim ni imthung lahoi kaawm e talai ramri teh kanîtholah, Atarothaddar kho hoi Bethhoron koe lah,

6 and from there it continued to the sea. From Mikmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passed beyond it on the east to Janoah.

atunglah tuipui teng, Mikmethath kho koe a tâco. Hahoi kanîtholah Taanathshiloh kho, kanîtholah a cei teh,

7 Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending at the Jordan.

Janoah kho koe lah, Ataroth, Naarah, Jeriko lah a pha teh, Jordan palang dawk a pout.

8 From Tappuah the border went westward to the brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan,

Tappuah kho hoi kanîloumlah a cei teh Kanah palang koe lah a cei teh, tuipui dawk a pout.

9 together with the cities that were chosen for the tribe of Ephraim within the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh—all the cities, including their villages.

Hetheteh Manasseh miphunnaw râw a coe awh e talai dawk Ephraim miphunnaw hanelah a khuen pouh e khonaw hoi Ephraim miphun imthung lahoi râw a coe awh e khonaw lah ao.

10 They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.

Gezer kho dawk kaawm e kanaan naw hah pâlei laipalah ahnimouh teh sahnin totouh Ephraim miphunnaw hoi rei ao awh teh aphawng a cawng awh.
