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 Beth-el,

١ أَمَّا الأَرْضُ الَّتِي وَرِثَهَا أَبْنَاءُ يُوسُفَ فَقَدِ امْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهَا مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ عِنْدَ أَرِيحَا حَتَّى مِيَاهِ أَرِيحَا شَرْقاً، عَبْرَ الصَّحْرَاءِ الصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ أَرِيحَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ،

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

٢ وَتَسْتَمِرُّ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى لُوزَ، مُخْتَرِقَةً تُخْمَ الأَرَكِيِّينَ إِلَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَ عَطَارُوتَ،

3 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the limits of it are at the sea.

٣ ثُمَّ تَتَّجِهُ غَرْباً إِلَى حُدُودِ الْيَفْلَطِيِّينَ حَتَّى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ السُّفْلَى فَجَازَرَ، وَتَنْتَهِي عِنْدَ شَوَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ.

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

٤ وَهَكَذَا تَسَلَّمَتْ ذُرِّيَّتَا مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ ابْنَيْ يُوسُفَ مِيرَاثَهُمَا.

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 Ataroth-adar, to Beth-horon the upper:

٥ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ حُدُودُ أَرْضِ أَبْنَاءِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: تَبْدَأُ حُدُودُهُمُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ عَطَارُوتَ أَدَّارَ، وَتَمْتَدُّ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ الْعُلْيَا.

6 And the border went out towards the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

٦ وَتَسْتَمِرُّ حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ. وَتَبْدَأُ حُدُودُهُمُ الشِّمَالِيَّةُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَتَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْمَكْمَتَةِ، ثُمَّ تَلْتَفُّ شَرْقاً إِلَى تَآنَةِ شِيلُوهَ فَتَعْبُرُهَا شَرْقاً إِلَى يَنُوحَةَ،

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

٧ وَتَنْحَدِرُ مِنْ يَنُوحَةَ إِلَى عَطَارُوتَ وَنَعَرَاتَ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى أَرِيحَا، اِنْتِهَاءً بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

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

٨ وَتَتَّجِهُ الْحُدُودُ مِنْ تَفُّوحَ غَرْباً إِلَى وَادِي قَانَةَ وَتَنْتَهِي عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ.

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.

٩ هَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، مَعَ جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ وَالضِّيَاعِ الْمُخَصَّصَةِ لَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِ مَنَسَّى:

10 And they did not expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.

١٠ وَلَمْ يَنْفُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي جَازَرَ، فَظَلَّ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنِينَ فِي وَسَطِ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ كَعَبِيدٍ يَدْفَعُونَ الْجِزْيَةَ.
