Joshua 16

1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

Yosef ƒe vi siawo, ame siwo nye Efraim kple Manase ƒe viwo la, ƒe anyigba dze egɔme tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la ŋu le Yeriko, to gbegbe la va yi tonyigba la dzi le Betel,

2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

to afi ma yi Luz kple Atarɔt

3 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Bethhoron the lower, and to Gezer: and the ends of it are at the sea.

le Arkitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, ɖo ta ɣetoɖoƒe, yi Yafletitɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi, yi keke Bet Horon le gbadzaƒe, to Gezer heyi ɖatɔ Domeƒu la.

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

Esiae nye anyigba si Yosef ƒe viwo, Manase kple Efraim woxɔ.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;

Esiae nye Efraim ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba le woƒe ƒome nu. Efraim ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe liƒo tso Atarot Ada ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe heyi Bet Horon le toawo dzi,

6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

eye wòtso afi ma yi Domeƒu la ŋu. Mixmetat nɔ eƒe anyiehe lɔƒo. Liƒo la bi ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe; edze le Taanat Silo ŋu le Yanoa ƒe ɣedzeƒe

7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and came out at Jordan.

hetrɔ yi anyigbeme, yi Atarɔt kple Naara, ɖatɔ Yeriko, eye wòwu nu ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.

8 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the ends of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

Eƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo ƒe afã le dzigbeme gome tso Tapua, to Kana tɔʋu la ŋu yi ɖatɔ Domeƒu la. Esia nye Efraimviwo ƒe to la ƒe anyigba le woƒe ƒomeawo nu.

9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

Wotsɔ du aɖewo tso Manase to la ƒe afã ƒe anyigba dzi hã na Efraim ƒe viwo.

10 And they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve at forced labour.

Womenya Kanaantɔ siwo nɔ Gezer la ɖa le anyigba la dzi o, ale wogale Efraim ƒe viwo dome abe kluviwo ene.
