UJoshuwa 16

1 Kwasekuphuma inkatho yabantwana bakoJosefa kusukela eJordani eJeriko, kusiya emanzini eJeriko ngempumalanga, inkangala isenyuka isuka eJeriko entabeni yeBhetheli;

And the lot for the sons of Joseph goes 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 yasiphuma eBhetheli isiya eLuzi, yadlulela emngceleni wamaAriki eAtarothi,

and has gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over to the border of Archi [to] Ataroth,

3 yehlela entshonalanga emngceleni wamaJafilethi, isiya emngceleni weBhethi-Horoni ngaphansi, kwaze kwaba seGezeri; lokuphuma kwayo kwakuselwandle.

and gone down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of the lower Beth-Horon, and to Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

4 Ngakho abantwana bakoJosefa, uManase loEfrayimi, balidla ilifa.

And the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—inherit.

5 Lomngcele wabantwana bakoEfrayimi ngokwensendo zabo wawunje: Ngitsho umngcele welifa labo empumalanga wawuyiAtarothi-Adari kuze kufike eBhethi-Horoni ngaphezulu.

And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar to the upper Beth-Horon;

6 Umngcele wasuphumela elwandle, eMikimethathi enyakatho; lomngcele waphendukela empumalanga eTanathi-Shilo, wedlula empumalanga usiya eJanowa;

and the border has gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border has gone around eastward [to] Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,

7 wasusehla usuka eJanowa usiya eAtarothi leNahara, wagudla iJeriko, waphumela eJordani.

and gone down from Janohah [to] Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.

8 Kusukela eTapuwa umngcele waya entshonalanga esifuleni iKana, lokuphuma kwawo kwaba selwandle. Leli yilifa lesizwe sabantwana bakoEfrayimi ngokwensendo zabo.

From Tappuah the border goes westward to 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 Lemizi eyayehlukaniselwe abantwana bakoEfrayimi yayiphakathi kwelifa labantwana bakoManase, yonke imizi lemizana yayo.

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 Kodwa kabawaxotshanga elifeni amaKhanani ayehlala eGezeri. Ngakho amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwabakoEfrayimi kuze kube lamuhla, ayesebenza njengezibhalwa.

and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and is for forced labor—serving.
