1 योसेफको कुलको भू-भागको अंश यरीहोमा यर्दनबाट यरीहोको पानीका मुहानहरूको पूर्वतिर, मरुभूमितिर, बेथेलको पहाडी देश हुँदै यरीहोबाट माथि जान्छ ।
And the lot came out for the sons of Joseph 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 Bethel.
2 त्यसपछि यो बेथेलबाट लूजतिर, अरकीको क्षेत्रतिर गयो ।
And it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,
3 त्यसपछि यो तल्‍लो बेथ-होरोनको क्षेत्रसम्मै यल्पेतीको क्षेत्रसम्म पश्‍चिमतिर झर्‍यो र गेजेरतिर गयो; यो समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो ।
and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, even to Gezer. And the goings out of it were at the sea.
4 योसेफका कुल मनश्शे र एफ्राइमले तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार यसरी प्राप्‍त गरे ।
And the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको क्षेत्रः तिनीहरूको भागको पूर्वतिरको सिमाना अतारोत-अद्दारबाट माथिल्‍लो बेथ-होरोनसम्म निस्क्यो,
And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper,
6 र यो त्यहाँबाट सममुद्रसम्म पुग्यो । मिक्मतातबाट उत्तरतिर यो पूर्वतर्फ तानत-शीलोतिर मोडियो र यसभन्दा उता पूर्वतिर यानोह निस्क्यो ।
and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah,
7 त्यसपछि यो यानोहबाट अतारोतिर तल झर्‍यो, र यरीहो पुगेर यर्दनमा अन्त भयो ।
and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 तप्‍पूहबाट पश्‍चिमतिर कना खोलातिर समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो । यो कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको भाग,
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah. And the goings out of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,
9 मनश्शेको कुलको उत्तराधिकारभित्र एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुनिएका सहरहरूसँगै तिनीहरूका गाउँहरूसहित सबै सहर थिए ।
together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 तिनीहरूले गेजेरमा बस्‍ने कनानीहरूलाई धपाएनन्, त्यसैले आजको दिनसम्म पनि एफ्राइमभित्र कनानीहरू बस्छन्, तर यी मानिसहरूलाई बेगारी काम गर्न लगाइएको थियो ।
And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do task work.
