Iyyaasuu 16

1 Qoodni Yoosef Yordaanos Yerikoo biratti argamtu, karaa baʼa bishaanota Yerikootii kaʼee gammoojjii keessa qaxxaamuree biyya gaaraa Beetʼeelitti ol baʼa.

And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Beth-el,

2 Luuzi ishee Beetʼeel jedhamtu sanaa kaʼee gara biyya Arkaawotaa kan Axaaroti keessatti argamtu sanaatti ceʼa.

And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

3 Achii immoo gara lixaa biyya Yafleexotaatti gad buʼee Beet Horoon gaʼee gara Geezir itti fufee galaanicha gaʼee dhaabata.

And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the limits of it are at the sea.

4 Akkasitti Minaasee fi Efreem, ilmaan Yoosef dhaala isaanii argatan.

So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took 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

And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-adar, to Beth-horon the upper:

6 hamma galaanaatti itti fufa. Karaa kaabaatiin Mikmetaatii kaʼee karaa baʼaatiin gara Taanaat Shiiloo goree achiin darbee baʼa Yaanoʼaatti qajeela.

And the border went out towards the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

7 Ergasii immoo Yaanoʼaadhaa kaʼee Axaarotii fi Naʼaraatti gad buʼee Yerikoo irra naannaʼee Yordaanositti gad baʼa.

And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and terminated at Jordan.

8 Daariin sun Tafuuʼaadhaa kaʼee gama Lixaatiin Laga Qaanaatti gad buʼee galaana gaʼee dhaabata. Dhaalli gosti Efreem balbala balbalaan argatte kanaa dha.

The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the limits of it were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

9 Daariin kun magaalaawwanii fi olloota isaanii kanneen dhaala gosa Minaasee keessatti gosa Efreemiif hambifaman hundas ni dabalata.

And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

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.

And they did not expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
