And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;
2 le boake Betele mb’e Loze miary amy efe’ i Arký e Atarotey,
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.
4 Aa le nandrambe ty lova’ iareo i ana’ Iosefe rey: i Menasè naho i Efraime.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.

And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;

The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;
7 le boake Ianoake re mizotso mb’e Atarote naho mb’e Naarate naho mioza am’ Ieriko vaho mandoak’ am’ Iardeney mb’eo.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.

From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;
9 naho o rova navaheñe ho a’ o ana’ i Efraimeo amo ana’ i Menasèo, i rova iaby rey rekets’ o tanà’eo.
Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.
10 Tsy rinoa’ iareo o nte-Kanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo, fa tambatse añivo’ o nte-Efraimeo pake henaneo o nte-Kanàneo mitoroñe aman-kàba.
And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.
