Yoshua 16
1 Nchi waliyopewa kabila la Yusufu ilianzia katika Yordani huko Yeriko, mashariki mwa chemichemi za Yeriko, kupitia nyikani, kupanda kutoka Yeriko kupitia nchi ya milima ya Betheli.
And the lot fell to the children of Ioseph from Iorden by Iericho vnto the water of Iericho Eastward, and to the wildernes that goeth vp from Iericho by the mount Beth-el:
2 Kisha uliendelea kutoka Betheli hadi Luzi na kupita hata Atarothi, iliyo miliki ya Waarkiti.
And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and runneth along vnto the borders of Archiataroth,
3 Kisha ilishuka chini upande wa magharibi kuelekea himaya ya Wayafuleti, hadi kufika miliki ya Loweri Bethi Horoni, na kisha iliendelea hadi Gezeri; na ilikomea katika bahari.
And goeth down Westward to the coast of Iaphleti, vnto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the endes thereof are at the Sea.
4 Ilikuwa ni kwa njia hii makabila ya Yusufu, yaani Manase na Efraimu yalipata urithi wao.
So the children of Ioseph, Manasseh and Ephraim tooke their inheritance.
5 Eneo la kabila la Efraimu ambalo lilikuwa limegawanya kwa koo zao lilikuwa kama ifuatavyo: mpaka wa urithi wao katika upande wa mashariki ulikuwa Atarothi Ada uliopanda kuelekea Bethi Horoni ya juu,
Also the borders of the children of Ephraim according to their families, euen the borders of their inheritance on the Eastside were Atroth-addar, vnto Beth-horon the vpper.
6 na kutoka pale uliendelea hadi katika bahari. Kutoka Mikimethathi katika upande wa Kasikazini ulipinda upande wa mashariki kuelkea Taanathi Shilo na kupita ng'ambo yake katika upande wa mashariki kukabili Yanoa.
And this border goeth out to the Sea vnto Michmethah on the Northside, and this border returneth Eastward vnto Taanathshiloh, and passeth it on the Eastside vnto Ianohah,
7 Kisha ulishuka kutoka Yanoa hadi Atarothi na hata Naara, na kisha ukafika Yeriko, na kuishia katika Yordani.
And goeth downe from Ianohah to Ataroth, and Naarath, and commeth to Iericho, and goeth out at Iorden.
8 Kutoka Tapua, mpaka uliendelea katika upande wa magharibi hata kijito cha Kana na ulikomea katika bahari. Huu ulikuwa ni urithi wa kabila la Efraimu, uliogawanywa katika koo zao,
And this border goeth from Tappuah Westward vnto the riuer Kanah, and the endes thereof are at the Sea: this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9 pamoja na miji yao iliyochaguliwa kwa ajili ya kabila la Efraimu iliyokuwa ndani ya urithi wa kabila la Manase - miji yote pamoja na vijiji vyao.
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 Lakini hawakuwafukuza Wakanaani walioishi katika Gezeri, hivyo basi Wakanaani wanaishi ndani ya Efraimu hadi leo, lakini watu hawa walifanywa kuwa watumwa.
And they cast not out the Canaanite that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanite dwelt among the Ephraimites vnto this day, and serued vnder tribute.
