< Yoswa 16 >
1 N’omugabo gw’ettaka ly’abaana ba Yusufu ne guva ku Yoludaani awali Yeriko ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olw’amazzi g’e Yeriko, okutuuka mu ddungu, n’erinnya okuva e Yeriko n’eyita mu nsi ey’ensozi n’etuuka e Beseri
And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan over against Jericho and the waters thereof, on the east: the wilderness which goeth up from Jericho to the mountain of Bethel:
2 N’eyita e Beseri okutuuka e Eruzi n’okuyita ku nsalo ey’Abaluki mu Atalosi
And goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Ataroth,
3 n’okukka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba ku nsalo ey’Abayafuleti ku nsalo ey’e Besukolooni eky’emmanga ku Gezeri n’ekoma ku nnyanja.
And goeth down westward, by the border of Jephleti, unto the borders of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gazer: and the countries of it are ended by the great sea:
4 Bwe batyo abaana ba Yusufu: Manase ne Efulayimu ne batwala omugabo gwabwe.
And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it.
5 Ettaka ly’abaana ba Efulayimu ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali eno gye lyayitanga; ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ku Atalosuaddali n’okutuuka ku Besukolooni ey’Ekyengulu,
And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their kindreds: and their possession towards the east was Ataroth-addar unto Beth-horon the upper.
6 ne yeeyongera ku nnyanja ne ku Mikumesasi mu bukiikakkono ne yeetooloola ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ku Taanasi Siiro, n’olwebuvanjuba olw’e Yanoa,
And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo: and passeth along on the east side to Janoe.
7 n’ekka ku Atalosi ne ku Naala n’ekwata ku Yeriko n’etuuka ku Yoludaani.
And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan.
8 N’eva ku Tappua n’eyita ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’etuuka ku mugga Kana n’ekoma ku nnyanja. Bino bye bitundu ekika ky’abaana ba Efulayimu bye baagabana ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9 Ku bino kwaliko ebibuga n’ebyalo byakwo byonna ebyaterekerwa abaana ba Efulayimu abaali mu kitundu kya Manase ebibuga byonna n’ebyalo byabwe.
And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses.
10 Wabula tebaagoba Bakanani abaali mu Gezeri, baasigala wakati mu Efulayimu n’okutuusa leero nga balimu ng’abaddu nga bakola.
And the children of Ephraim slew not the Chanaanite, who dwelt in Gazer: and the Chanaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim until this day, paying tribute.
