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
The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.
2 N’eyita e Beseri okutuuka e Eruzi n’okuyita ku nsalo ey’Abaluki mu Atalosi
It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites 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 it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.
4 Bwe batyo abaana ba Yusufu: Manase ne Efulayimu ne batwala omugabo gwabwe.
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,
This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, 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,
The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.
7 n’ekka ku Atalosi ne ku Naala n’ekwata ku Yeriko n’etuuka ku Yoludaani.
It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at 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 Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to 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.
together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of 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.
They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.
