And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;
2 to afi ma yi Luz kple Atarɔt
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 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.
And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.
4 Esiae nye anyigba si Yosef ƒe viwo, Manase kple Efraim woxɔ.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.
5 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,
And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;
6 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
The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;
7 hetrɔ yi anyigbeme, yi Atarɔt kple Naara, ɖatɔ Yeriko, eye wòwu nu ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
8 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.
From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;
9 Wotsɔ du aɖewo tso Manase to la ƒe afã ƒe anyigba dzi hã na Efraim ƒe viwo.
Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.
10 Womenya Kanaantɔ siwo nɔ Gezer la ɖa le anyigba la dzi o, ale wogale Efraim ƒe viwo dome abe kluviwo ene.
And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.
