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.
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 Ekendeki longwa na Beteli kino na Luze, elekaki na ngambo ya bandelo ya bato ya Ariki mpe Ataroti,
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
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.
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 Boye bana mibali ya Jozefi, Manase mpe Efrayimi, bazwaki eteni ya mabele lokola libula.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received 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;
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 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 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 Mpe lisusu ekitaki longwa na Yanoa kino na Ataroti mpe na Naarata, etutanaki na Jeriko mpe ekendeki kobima kino na Yordani.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending 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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
