Josoa 16
1 Ary ny faritry ny tany azon’ ny taranak’ i Josefa tamin’ ny filokana dia hatrany Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko, dia tao amin’ ny ranon’ i Jeriko atsinanana, ka hatramin’ ny efitra izay fiakarana avy any Jeriko, mamaky ny tany havoan’ i Betela,
The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.
2 dia hatrany Betela ka hatrany Lozy, ka nandroso hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Arkita hatrany Atarota,
It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
3 dia nidina niankandrefana nahazo ny tanin’ ny Jafletita ka hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Bedhorona ambany sy Gazera ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina.
Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
4 Dia azon’ i Manase sy Efraima, taranak’ i Josefa, ny lovany.
So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5 Ary ny amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima araka ny fokony, ny fari-taniny atsinanana amin’ ny lovany dia hatrany Atarot-adara ka hatrany Beti-horona ambony.
This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon
6 Ary ny fari-taniny dia nandroso niankandrefana hatrany avaratr’ i Mikmeta, dia niolaka niantsinanana hatrany Tanata-silo ka nihoatra eo atsinanany hatrany Janoha,
and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
7 dia nidina hatrany Janoha ka hatrany Atarota sy Narata, dia nipaka tamin’ i Jeriko ary dia nihatra tany Jordana.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
8 Ary hatrany Tapoa dia niankandrefana ny fari-tany hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Kana, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina. Izany no lovan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Efraima araka ny fokony,
From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
9 mbamin’ ny tanàna natokana ho an’ ny taranak’ i Efraima teo amin’ ny lovan’ ny taranak’ i Manase koa, dia ny tanàna rehetra mbamin’ ny zana-bohiny.
along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
10 Ary tsy nandroaka ny Kananita izay nonina tany Gazera izy; fa monina eo amin’ i Efraima ny Kananita mandraka androany ka ampanaovina fanompoana.
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
