Jozye 16
1 Tiraj osò fis a Joseph yo te sòti nan Jourdain vè Jéricho pou rive nan dlo a Jéricho yo, vè lès nan dezè a. Yo te monte soti Jéricho pou pase nan peyi ti kolin yo pou rive Béthel.
The assignment of land for the tribe of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel.
2 Li te sòti Béthel vè Luz pou te kontinye rive jis nan fwontyè Akiyen yo nan Atharoth.
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
3 Li te kouri desann vè lwès nan teritwa a Jafletyen yo, jis rive nan teritwa pati Beth-Horon ki piba a, jis rive nan Guézer; epi li te fè bout li nan lanmè.
Then it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth Horon, and then on to Gezer; it ended at the sea.
4 Fis a Joseph, Manassé avèk Éphraïm te resevwa eritaj pa yo.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received their inheritance.
5 Men teritwa fis a Éphraïm yo selon fanmi pa yo: lizyè a eritaj pa yo, vè lès se te Atharoth-Addar, pou rive nan Wo Beth-Horon.
The territory of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan: The border of their inheritance on the east went from Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon,
6 Epi lizyè a te vire nan lwès nan Micmethath nan nò; epi lizyè a te vire vè lès pou Thaanath-Silo e te kouri depase li nan lès a Janoach.
and from there it continued to the sea. From Mikmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passed beyond it on the east to Janoah.
7 Li te vin desann soti nan Janoach a Ataroth, a Naaratha, li te rive nan Jéricho e te sòti nan Jourdain an.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending at the Jordan.
8 Soti nan Tappuach, lizyè a te kontinye vè lwès nan ti rivyè Kana a e te fè bout li nan lanmè. Sa se te eritaj a tribi fis Éphraïm yo selon fanmi pa yo,
From Tappuah the border went westward to the brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan,
9 avèk vil ki te mete apa pou fis Éphraïm yo nan mitan eritaj a fis Manassé yo, tout vil yo avèk bouk pa yo.
together with the cities that were chosen for the tribe of Ephraim within the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh—all the cities, including their villages.
10 Men yo pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki te rete Guézer yo; epi pou sa, Kananeyen yo rete pami Éphraïm jis jodi a. Konsa, yo te vin ouvriye yo nan travay fòse.
They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.
