< Hohua 16 >

1 A, ko te rota i nga tama a Hohepa, i rere atu i Horano i Heriko, i nga wai o Heriko ki te rawhiti, a tae noa ki te koraha, e aupiki atu ra i Heriko ma te whenua pukepuke ki Peteere;
And the lot for the children of Joseph went out 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 Beth-el;
2 Na ka haere atu i Peteere ki Rutu, a tika tonu atu ki nga rohe o Araki ki Ataroto,
and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 Na ka haere ki raro whaka te hauauru ki te rohe o Iapareti tae noa ki te rohe o Petehorono ki raro, ki Ketere: a ko tona putanga atu kei te moana.
and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer: and the goings out thereof were at the sea.
4 Na ka riro i nga tama a Hohepa, i a Manahi raua ko Eparaima to ratou kainga tupu.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 A ko te rohe tenei ki nga tama a Eparaima, ki o ratou kainga whaka te rawhiti ko Ataroto Arara, tae noa ki Petehorono ki runga;
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
6 A i puta atu te rohe whaka te hauauru ki Mikimeta ki te raki; a i awhio haere te rohe whaka te rawhiti ki Taanata Hiro, a ka whakarerea atu a reira i te taha ki te rawhiti o Ianoha;
and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;
7 Na ka anga i Ianoha ki raro ki Ataroto, a ki Naarata, a ka pa ki Heriko, puta rawa atu kei Horano.
and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
8 I haere atu te rohe i Tapua whaka te hauauru ki te awa ki Kanaha; a kei te moana ona putanga atu. Ko te wahi tupu tenei o te iwi o nga tama a Eparaima, o o ratou hapu:
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
9 Me nga pa i motuhia mo nga tama a Eparaima i roto i te wahi o nga tama a Manahi, nga pa katoa me nga kainga o aua pa.
together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 A kihai i peia e ratou te Kanaani e noho ana i Ketere: heoi noho ana te Kanaani i waenganui o Eparaima a taea noatia tenei ra, a ka meinga hei pononga, hei mahi i nga mahi.
And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do taskwork.
