< यहोशू 16 >
1 योसेफको कुलको भू-भागको अंश यरीहोमा यर्दनबाट यरीहोको पानीका मुहानहरूको पूर्वतिर, मरुभूमितिर, बेथेलको पहाडी देश हुँदै यरीहोबाट माथि जान्छ ।
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth-el,
2 त्यसपछि यो बेथेलबाट लूजतिर, अरकीको क्षेत्रतिर गयो ।
And [the boundary] went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to 'Ataroth,
3 त्यसपछि यो तल्लो बेथ-होरोनको क्षेत्रसम्मै यल्पेतीको क्षेत्रसम्म पश्चिमतिर झर्यो र गेजेरतिर गयो; यो समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो ।
And went down westward to the boundary of the Yaphleti, unto the border of Beth-choron the lower, and to Gezer; and its terminations were toward the sea.
4 योसेफका कुल मनश्शे र एफ्राइमले तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार यसरी प्राप्त गरे ।
This did the children of Joseph, Menasseh and Ephraim, take as their inheritance.
5 कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको क्षेत्रः तिनीहरूको भागको पूर्वतिरको सिमाना अतारोत-अद्दारबाट माथिल्लो बेथ-होरोनसम्म निस्क्यो,
And [this] was the boundary of the children of Ephraim according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance on the east side was 'Atroth-addar, up to Beth-choron the upper;
6 र यो त्यहाँबाट सममुद्रसम्म पुग्यो । मिक्मतातबाट उत्तरतिर यो पूर्वतर्फ तानत-शीलोतिर मोडियो र यसभन्दा उता पूर्वतिर यानोह निस्क्यो ।
And the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;
7 त्यसपछि यो यानोहबाट अतारोतिर तल झर्यो, र यरीहो पुगेर यर्दनमा अन्त भयो ।
And it went down from Yanochah to 'Ataroth, and to Na'arath, and touched on Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 तप्पूहबाट पश्चिमतिर कना खोलातिर समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो । यो कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको भाग,
From Tappuach westward the border went out unto the brook Kanah; and its terminations were toward the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim after their families;
9 मनश्शेको कुलको उत्तराधिकारभित्र एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुनिएका सहरहरूसँगै तिनीहरूका गाउँहरूसहित सबै सहर थिए ।
And [in addition to this] the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menasseh, 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 drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.
