若瑟的子孫抽籤分得的土地,從耶利哥對面的約旦河起,到耶利哥東面的水源,沿著曠野,由耶利哥向上到貝特爾山區,
2 and it goith out fro Bethel `in to Luzan, and passith the terme of Architaroth,
再由貝特耳路次,沿著阿爾基人的邊境,直到下貝特曷龍的邊境,以迄於革則爾,直達於海邊邊境
3 and it goith doun to the west, bisidis the terme of Jefleti, `til to the termes of the lowere Bethoron, and of Gazer; and the cuntrees therof ben endid with the greet see,
這是若瑟的兒子默納協和厄弗辣因分得的產業。
4 whiche cuntreis Manasses and Effraym, the sones of Joseph, weldiden.
這是若望的兒子默納協和厄弗辣因分得的產業。
5 And the terme of the sones of Effraym, bi her meynees, and `the possessioun of hem was maad ayens the eest, Accarothaddar `til to the hiyere Bethoron.
以下是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的土地:他們產業的邊界,東面是阿塔洛特阿達爾,直到上貝特曷龍,
6 And the coostis goon out in to the see; sotheli Mathmetath biholdith the north, and cumpassith the termes ayens the eest in Tharnarselo,
直達於海。北端是米革默塔特,由此向東轉向塔納特史羅,越過雅諾亞東部,
7 and passith fro the stronde of Janee; and it goith doun fro Janee in to Atharoth and Noathara, and cometh in to Jerico; and it goith out to Jordan fro Taphua,
再由雅諾亞下至阿塔洛特和納阿辣,經耶利哥直達約旦河。
8 and passith ayens the see in to the valey of `the place of rehedis; and the goyngis out therof ben to the salteste see. This is the possessioun of the sones of Effraym, bi her meynees;
又從塔普亞往西到卡納谷,直達於海:以上是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的產業。
9 and citees and the townes of tho ben departid to the sones of Effraym, in the myddis of the possessioun of the sones of Manasses.
此外,屬默納協子孫的產業中,還有給厄弗辣因子孫保留的城市──城市和所屬的村鎮。
10 And the sones of Effraym killiden not Cananey, that dwellide in Gazer; and Cananey dwellide tributarie in the myddis of Effraym til in to this day.
但是他們未能將住在革則爾的客納罕人趕走,因此客納罕人直到今天還住在厄弗辣因人中間,充當苦役。
