And the lot for the children of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Beth-el;

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

and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;

and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer: and the goings out thereof were at the sea.

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

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

And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon 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 westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;

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

and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto 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.

From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;

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

together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of 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 drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do taskwork.
