Josvas 16
1 Den lodd som tilfalt Josefs barn, gikk fra Jordan ved Jeriko, østenom vannet ved Jeriko, gjennem ørkenen som stiger fra Jeriko opover fjellene til Betel.
The land that was allotted to [the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh that were descended from] Joseph started at the Jordan [River], east of the springs at Jericho.
2 Fra Betel gikk grensen frem til Luz og videre bort til arkittenes land, til Atarot,
It extended west from Jericho to the hilly area near Bethel, which is also called Luz. It extended as far as Ataroth, at the border of the land where the Arki people-group lived.
3 tok så vestover ned til jafletittenes land, til Nedre-Bet-Horons landemerke og til Geser og endte ute ved havet.
From there it extended west to the border of the land where the Japhleti people-group lived, and then it extended west to the area near Lower Beth-Horon. From there it extended west to Gezer [city] and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
4 Dette var den arv som Josefs barn, Manasse og Efra'im, fikk.
That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.
5 Efra'ims barns land efter deres ætter lå således til: Mot øst gikk grensen for deres arvelodd over Atrot-Addar frem til Øvre-Bet-Horon
The border of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim started at Ataroth-Addar [city] in the east. It extended to Upper Beth-Horon
6 og endte ute ved havet. Mot nord gikk grensen over Mikmetat og bøide sig mot øst til Ta'anat-Silo og holdt frem østover til Janoah.
and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
7 Fra Janoah tok den så ned til Atarot og Na'ara, rørte ved Jeriko og endte ved Jordan.
From Michmethath [on the north] it extended east to Taanath and from there on to Janoah. From there it extended [south] to Ataroth [city] and to Naarah [town]. From there it extended to Jericho and from there to the Jordan [River].
8 Fra Tappuah gikk grensen vestover til Kana-bekken og endte ute ved havet. Dette var den arvelodd som Efra'ims barns stamme fikk efter sine ætter,
The [northern] border extended from Tappuah west to Kanah Ravine, and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the land that was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
9 dessuten de byer som blev utskilt for Efra'ims barn inne i Manasses barns arvelodd, både byene og de tilhørende landsbyer.
Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.
10 Men de drev ikke bort de kana'anitter som bodde i Geser; kana'anittene blev boende blandt Efra'ims barn, som de gjør den dag idag, men blev arbeidspliktige træler.
The people of the tribe of Ephraim could not force the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer, so the Canaan people-group still live among the people of the tribe of Ephraim, but the Israelis forced the people of the Canaan people-group to become their slaves.
