< Jozue 16 >

1 Eteni ya mabele ya bakitani ya Jozefi ebandaki wuta na Yordani, pene ya Jeriko, na ngambo ya este ya mayi ya Jeriko, na esobe oyo emata na Jeriko na mokili ya bangomba ya Beteli.
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth-el,
2 Ekendeki longwa na Beteli kino na Luze, elekaki na ngambo ya bandelo ya bato ya Ariki mpe Ataroti,
And [the boundary] went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to 'Ataroth,
3 ekitaki kino na ngambo ya weste na mondelo ya bato ya Yafeleti kino na etuka ya Beti-Oroni ya se, kino na Gezeri ya suka mpe esukaki na Ebale monene.
And went down westward to the boundary of the Yaphleti, unto the border of Beth-choron the lower, and to Gezer; and its terminations were toward the sea.
4 Boye bana mibali ya Jozefi, Manase mpe Efrayimi, bazwaki eteni ya mabele lokola libula.
This did the children of Joseph, Menasseh and Ephraim, take as their inheritance.
5 Tala eteni ya mabele ya bakitani ya Efrayimi kolanda bituka na bango: Mondelo ya eteni ya mabele na bango ezalaki na ngambo ya este, longwa na Ataroti-Adari kino na Beti-Oroni ya likolo;
And [this] was the boundary of the children of Ephraim according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance on the east side was 'Atroth-addar, up to Beth-choron the upper;
6 ekobaki kino na Ebale monene. Na ngambo ya weste, mondelo ezalaki longwa na Mikimeta na ngambo ya nor, ebalukaki na ngambo ya este na Tanati-Silo, elekelaki wana kino na Yanoa, na ngambo ya este.
And the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;
7 Mpe lisusu ekitaki longwa na Yanoa kino na Ataroti mpe na Naarata, etutanaki na Jeriko mpe ekendeki kobima kino na Yordani.
And it went down from Yanochah to 'Ataroth, and to Na'arath, and touched on Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 Longwa na Tapua, ekendeki na ngambo ya weste kino na moluka ya Kana mpe ekendeki kosuka na Ebale monene. Yango nde ezalaki eteni ya libula ya bakitani ya libota ya Efrayimi, kolanda bituka na bango.
From Tappuach westward the border went out unto the brook Kanah; and its terminations were toward the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim after their families;
9 Ebakisamaki mpe bingumba nyonso elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike oyo epesamelaki bato ya libota ya Efrayimi kati na libula ya bato ya libota ya Manase.
And [in addition to this] the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Kasi babenganaki te bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Gezeri. Yango wana, bato ya Kanana bazali kovanda kati na bato ya Efrayimi kino na mokolo ya lelo. Kasi bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi oyo ekoki na bawumbu.
And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.
