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 children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Beth-el,
2 N’eyita e Beseri okutuuka e Eruzi n’okuyita ku nsalo ey’Abaluki mu Atalosi
And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along to the borders 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 to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the limits of it are at the sea.
4 Bwe batyo abaana ba Yusufu: Manase ne Efulayimu ne batwala omugabo gwabwe.
So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
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 according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-adar, to 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 border went out towards the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7 n’ekka ku Atalosi ne ku Naala n’ekwata ku Yeriko n’etuuka ku Yoludaani.
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and terminated at 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.
The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the limits of it were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance 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 the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Wabula tebaagoba Bakanani abaali mu Gezeri, baasigala wakati mu Efulayimu n’okutuusa leero nga balimu ng’abaddu nga bakola.
And they did not expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
