ヨシュア記 16

1 ヨセフの子孫が籤によりて獲たる地の境界はヱリコの邊なるヨルダンすなはちヱリコの東の水の邊より起りてヱリコにかかり更に上りて山地を過ぎベテルにいたりて荒野に沿ひ行き

The boundary for the allocation of the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan near Jericho, then east of the springs of Jericho and through the wilderness from Jericho up into the hill country of Bethel.

2 ベテルよりルズにおもむきアルキ人の境界なるアタロテに進み

From Bethel (or Luz) it continued to the border of Ataroth the Arkite.

3 また西の方ヤフレテ人の境界に下り下ベテホロンの境界に及びゲゼルにまで達し海にいたりて盡く

Then it descended west to the border of the Japhletites and the border of Lower Beth-horon, on up to Gezer, and then out to the sea.

4 かくヨセフの子孫マナセ及びエフライムその產業を受たり

This was the allocation received by the descendants of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.

5 エフライムの子孫がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる地の境界は是のごとしその產業の境界東はアタロテアダルにて上はベテホロンに達し

This was the territory allocated to the tribe of Ephraim, by families. The boundary of their allocation ran from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon

6 ミクメタの北より西におもむき東にをれてタアナテシロにいたり之に沿てヤノアの東を過ぎ

and then on to the sea. From Michmethath in the north the boundary turned east passing Taanath-shiloh to the east of Janoah.

7 ヤノアより下りてアタロテおよびナアラにいたりヱリコに達しヨルダンにいたりて盡き

From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, then touched Jericho and ended at the Jordan.

8 タツプアよりして西に進みカナの河にまで達し海にいたりて盡くエフライムの子孫の支派がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる產業は是のごとし

From Tappuah the boundary ran west to the Brook of Kanah and then out to the sea. This was the land allotted to the tribe of Ephraim, by families.

9 この外にマナセの子孫の產業の中にてエフライムの子孫に別ち與へし邑々ありエフライムの一切の邑およびその村々を得たり

Also some towns with their associated villages that lay in the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh were assigned to the tribe of Ephraim.

10 但しゲゼルに住るカナン人をば逐はらはざりき是をもてカナン人は今日までエフライムの中に住み僕となりて之に使役せらる

However, they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites live among the tribe of Ephraim to this very day, but as forced laborers.
