< 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 for the sons of Joseph goeth out from Jordan [by] Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,
2 N’eyita e Beseri okutuuka e Eruzi n’okuyita ku nsalo ey’Abaluki mu Atalosi
and hath gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over unto 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 gone down westward unto the border of Japhleti, unto the border of Beth-Horon the lower, and unto Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
4 Bwe batyo abaana ba Yusufu: Manase ne Efulayimu ne batwala omugabo gwabwe.
And the sons of Joseph — Manasseh and Ephraim — inherit.
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 sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-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 border hath gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border hath gone round eastward [to] Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,
7 n’ekka ku Atalosi ne ku Naala n’ekwata ku Yeriko n’etuuka ku Yoludaani.
and gone down from Janohah [to] Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone 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 goeth westward unto the brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for 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 of the sons of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;
10 Wabula tebaagoba Bakanani abaali mu Gezeri, baasigala wakati mu Efulayimu n’okutuusa leero nga balimu ng’abaddu nga bakola.
and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and is to tribute — a servant.
