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 assignment of land for the tribe of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel.
2 dia hatrany Betela ka hatrany Lozy, ka nandroso hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Arkita hatrany Atarota,
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
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 went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth Horon, and then on to Gezer; it ended at the sea.
4 Dia azon’ i Manase sy Efraima, taranak’ i Josefa, ny lovany.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim 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.
The territory of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan: The border of their inheritance on the east went from Ataroth Addar as far as 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 from there it continued to the sea. From Mikmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passed beyond it on the east to Janoah.
7 dia nidina hatrany Janoha ka hatrany Atarota sy Narata, dia nipaka tamin’ i Jeriko ary dia nihatra tany Jordana.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending 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 tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan,
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.
together with the cities that were chosen for the tribe of Ephraim within the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh—all the cities, including their villages.
10 Ary tsy nandroaka ny Kananita izay nonina tany Gazera izy; fa monina eo amin’ i Efraima ny Kananita mandraka androany ka ampanaovina fanompoana.
They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.
