< Yoshua 16 >

1 Mgawanyo wa Yosefu ulianzia Yordani ya Yeriko, mashariki mwa miji ya Yeriko na kutoka hapo ulipanda kupitia jangwani na kuingia katika nchi ya vilima ya Betheli.
And the lot for the sons of Joseph goes out from Jordan [by] Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,
2 Ukaendelea kutoka Betheli (ndiyo Luzu), ukavuka kuingia eneo la Waariki huko Atarothi,
and has gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over to the border of Archi [to] Ataroth,
3 ukateremkia kuelekea magharibi hadi eneo la Wayafleti ukienea hadi eneo la Beth-Horoni ya Chini hadi Gezeri, ukiishia baharini.
and gone down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of the lower Beth-Horon, and to Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
4 Kwa hiyo Manase na Efraimu, wazao wa Yosefu, walipokea urithi wao.
And the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—inherit.
5 Hili ndilo lilikuwa eneo la Efraimu, ukoo kwa ukoo: Mpaka wa urithi wao ulianzia Ataroth-Adari upande wa mashariki hadi Beth-Horoni ya Juu,
And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar to the upper Beth-Horon;
6 na kuendelea mpaka baharini. Kutoka Mikmeta upande wa kaskazini ulipinda kuelekea mashariki hadi Taanath-Shilo, ukiupita hadi Yanoa upande wa mashariki.
and the border has gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border has gone around eastward [to] Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,
7 Kisha uliteremka kutoka Yanoa hadi Atarothi na Naara, ukagusa Yeriko na kutokea katika Mto Yordani.
and gone down from Janohah [to] Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.
8 Kutoka Tapua mpaka ulikwenda magharibi hadi Bonde la Kana na kuishia baharini. Huu ulikuwa ndio urithi wa kabila la Waefraimu, ukoo kwa ukoo.
From Tappuah the border goes westward to the Brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their families.
9 Pia ulijumuisha miji yote na vijiji vyake ambavyo vilitengwa kwa ajili ya Waefraimu ndani ya urithi wa kabila la Manase.
And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;
10 Hawakuwatoa Wakanaani waishio Gezeri; mpaka leo Wakanaani wanaishi miongoni mwa watu wa Efraimu lakini wanatakiwa kufanya kazi ngumu za kulazimishwa.
and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and is for forced labor—serving.
