< Joshua 16 >

1 Bũrũri ũrĩa wagaĩirwo ciana cia Jusufu wambĩrĩirie kuuma Jorodani o kũu Jeriko, mwena wa irathĩro wa maaĩ ma Jeriko, ũkambata kuuma kũu Jeriko, ũgatuĩkanĩria kũu werũ-inĩ nginya bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma ũgakinya Betheli.
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 Wacookete ũgathiĩ na mbere kuuma Betheli (na nokuo Luzu), ũkaringa ũgakinya bũrũri wa Aariki o kũu Atarothu,
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 ningĩ ũgaikũrũka na mwena wa ithũĩro, ũgakinya mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wa Ajafileti, nginya rũgongo rwa Bethi-Horoni ya Mũhuro, na ũgacooka ũgathiĩ ũgakinya Gezeri, ũkarĩkĩrĩria iria-inĩ.
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Manase na Efiraimu, njiaro cia Jusufu, ikĩĩgwatĩra igai rĩao.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.
5 Ũyũ nĩguo warĩ bũrũri wa Efiraimu, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ: mwena wa irathĩro, mũhaka wa igai rĩao woimĩte Atarothu-Adari ũgathiĩ nginya Bethi-Horoni ya Rũgongo,
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 ũgathiĩ na mbere nginya iria-inĩ. Kuuma Mikemethathu mwena wa gathigathini, ũkarigiicũka na mwena wa irathĩro ũgakinya Taanathu-Shilo, ũkahĩtũkĩra kuo ũrorete na mwena wa irathĩro wa Janoa.
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 Ũgacooka ũgaikũrũka kuuma Janoa nginya Atarothu na Naara, ũkahutia Jeriko, na ũkoimĩrĩra Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
8 Kuuma Tapua mũhaka ũcio ũgathiĩ ũrorete na mwena wa ithũĩro, ũgakinya mũkuru wa Kana, na ũkarĩkĩrĩria iria-inĩ. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
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 Bũrũri ũcio wothe warĩ hamwe na matũũra mothe na tũtũũra twamo tũrĩa Efiraimu maagaĩirwo thĩinĩ wa igai rĩa andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.
Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.
10 No andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu matiigana kũrutũrũra andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga Gezeri; nginya ũmũthĩ andũ a Kaanani matũũranagia hamwe na andũ a Efiraimu, nao magĩtuĩka ndungata marutage wĩra o ũrĩa mangĩathwo marute.
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.
