1 योसेफको कुलको भू-भागको अंश यरीहोमा यर्दनबाट यरीहोको पानीका मुहानहरूको पूर्वतिर, मरुभूमितिर, बेथेलको पहाडी देश हुँदै यरीहोबाट माथि जान्छ ।
Then came out the lot, for the sons of Joseph, from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho, eastward, —the desert, going up from Jericho, through the hill country to Bethel;
2 त्यसपछि यो बेथेलबाट लूजतिर, अरकीको क्षेत्रतिर गयो ।
and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz, —and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth;
3 त्यसपछि यो तल्‍लो बेथ-होरोनको क्षेत्रसम्मै यल्पेतीको क्षेत्रसम्म पश्‍चिमतिर झर्‍यो र गेजेरतिर गयो; यो समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो ।
and descendeth westward, unto the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Bethhoron the nether, and as far as Gezer, —and the extensions thereof are to the sea.
4 योसेफका कुल मनश्शे र एफ्राइमले तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार यसरी प्राप्‍त गरे ।
So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
5 कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको क्षेत्रः तिनीहरूको भागको पूर्वतिरको सिमाना अतारोत-अद्दारबाट माथिल्‍लो बेथ-होरोनसम्म निस्क्यो,
And the boundary of the sons of Ephraim, by their families, was, —yea the boundary of their inheritance on the east, was Ataroth-addar, as far as 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 boundary goeth out westward at Michmethath, on the north, then the boundary bendeth round easward, to Taanath-shiloh, —and passeth by it on the east to Janoah;
7 त्यसपछि यो यानोहबाट अतारोतिर तल झर्‍यो, र यरीहो पुगेर यर्दनमा अन्त भयो ।
and goeth down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, —and toucheth upon Jericho, and goeth out at the Jordan.
8 तप्‍पूहबाट पश्‍चिमतिर कना खोलातिर समुद्रमा टुङ्गियो । यो कुल-कुलअनुसार एफ्राइमको कुलको भाग,
From Tappuah, runneth the boundary along westward, to the ravine of Kanah, and the extensions thereof are to the sea, —this, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their families;
9 मनश्शेको कुलको उत्तराधिकारभित्र एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुनिएका सहरहरूसँगै तिनीहरूका गाउँहरूसहित सबै सहर थिए ।
together with the cities which were separated 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 ।
But they did not dispossess the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gazer, —so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and have become tributary servants.
