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 of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth-el,
2 Kisha uliendelea kutoka Betheli hadi Luzi na kupita hata Atarothi, iliyo miliki ya Waarkiti.
And [the boundary] went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to 'Ataroth,
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 went down westward to the boundary of the Yaphleti, unto the border of Beth-choron the lower, and to Gezer; and its terminations were toward the sea.
4 Ilikuwa ni kwa njia hii makabila ya Yusufu, yaani Manase na Efraimu yalipata urithi wao.
This did the children of Joseph, Menasseh and Ephraim, take as 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,
And [this] was the boundary of the children of Ephraim according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance on the east side was 'Atroth-addar, up to Beth-choron the upper;
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 the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;
7 Kisha ulishuka kutoka Yanoa hadi Atarothi na hata Naara, na kisha ukafika Yeriko, na kuishia katika Yordani.
And it went down from Yanochah to 'Ataroth, and to Na'arath, and touched on Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
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,
From Tappuach westward the border went out unto the brook Kanah; and its terminations were toward the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim after 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 [in addition to this] the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menasseh, 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 drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.
