1 Qoodni Yoosef Yordaanos Yerikoo biratti argamtu, karaa baʼa bishaanota Yerikootii kaʼee gammoojjii keessa qaxxaamuree biyya gaaraa Beetʼeelitti ol baʼa.
The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.
2 Luuzi ishee Beetʼeel jedhamtu sanaa kaʼee gara biyya Arkaawotaa kan Axaaroti keessatti argamtu sanaatti ceʼa.
It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
3 Achii immoo gara lixaa biyya Yafleexotaatti gad buʼee Beet Horoon gaʼee gara Geezir itti fufee galaanicha gaʼee dhaabata.
Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
4 Akkasitti Minaasee fi Efreem, ilmaan Yoosef dhaala isaanii argatan.
So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5 Qoodni gosti Efreem balbala balbalaan argatte kunoo kana: Daariin dhaala isaanii gara baʼaatiin Axaaroti Adaarii kaʼee hamma Beet Horoon gara Ol aanuutti deemee
This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon
6 hamma galaanaatti itti fufa. Karaa kaabaatiin Mikmetaatii kaʼee karaa baʼaatiin gara Taanaat Shiiloo goree achiin darbee baʼa Yaanoʼaatti qajeela.
and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
7 Ergasii immoo Yaanoʼaadhaa kaʼee Axaarotii fi Naʼaraatti gad buʼee Yerikoo irra naannaʼee Yordaanositti gad baʼa.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
8 Daariin sun Tafuuʼaadhaa kaʼee gama Lixaatiin Laga Qaanaatti gad buʼee galaana gaʼee dhaabata. Dhaalli gosti Efreem balbala balbalaan argatte kanaa dha.
From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
9 Daariin kun magaalaawwanii fi olloota isaanii kanneen dhaala gosa Minaasee keessatti gosa Efreemiif hambifaman hundas ni dabalata.
along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
10 Isaan Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraachaa turan sana ariʼanii achii hin baafne ture; hamma harʼaatti Kanaʼaanonni saba Efreem gidduu jiraatu; garuu akka hojii humnaa hojjetan dirqamu.
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
