Joshua 16

1 Ala e kenyere ụmụ ụmụ Josef bidoro nʼosimiri Jọdan nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jeriko gbatịrị ruo nʼọzara. O sitere na Jeriko gbagoo ala ugwu ugwu ahụ, ruokwa Betel.

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 goes up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

2 O sitekwara Betel (ya bụ Luz), gafee ruo Atarọt, ebe ndị Akai bi.

And goes out from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

3 Site nʼebe ahụ, ọ gbatịrị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ rute ala ndị Jaflet, ruo ala mgbada mgbada Bet-Horon. O si nʼebe ahụ ruo Gaza, tutu kwụsị nʼosimiri Mediterenịa.

And goes down westward to the coast of Japhleti, to the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

4 Ụmụ Josef bụ Ifrem, na Manase nwetara ihe nketa ha.

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

5 Ndị a bụ ala nke ikwu dị iche iche dị nʼebo Ifrem nwetara. Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ malitere nʼAtarọt-Ada. Site nʼebe ahụ, o ruru nʼakụkụ elu elu Bet-Horon;

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 Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;

6 sitekwa nʼebe ahụ ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu malitere na Mikmetat, gafee nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ruo Taanat Shaịlo, gafee ya ruo na Janoa.

And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

7 O sitere na Janoa gbadaa ruo Atarọt, na Naara, bịaruo Jeriko, gafee, kwụsị nʼosimiri Jọdan.

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

8 Oke ala ahụ nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ sitere na Tapụọa gaa ruo iyi Kana, na ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. Nke a bụ ala ebo Ifrem ketara, dịka ikwu ha si dị.

The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

9 E tinyere obodo ukwu na obodo nta niile ekepụtara iche nʼihi ebo Ifrem nʼetiti ihe nketa ụmụ Manase.

And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10 Ma ha achụpụghị ndị Kenan ndị bi na Gaza. Nʼihi nke a, ndị Kenan binyere ndị Ifrem ruo taa, ma e mere ka ha bụrụ ndị ọrụ ngo.

And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelled in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
