Siosiua 16

1 Pea naʻe tō ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa mei Soatani ʻo ofi ki Seliko, ki he vai ʻo Seliko ʻi he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu mei Seliko ʻo ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ko Peteli,

And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel.

2 Pea ʻoku ʻalu ai mei Peteli ki Lusa, ʻo ʻalu ai pe ki he ngaahi potu fonua ʻo ʻAliki, mo ʻAtaloti.

And [the border] went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,

3 Pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ʻi he potu lulunga ki he potu ʻo Safileti, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo Pete-Holoni ʻi lalo, pea ki Kesa: pea ʻoku aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki he tahi.

and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

4 Pea ko e fānau ʻa Siosefa ko Manase mo ʻIfalemi, naʻa na maʻu hona tofiʻa.

And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5 Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga naʻe pehē: ʻio, ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo honau tofiʻa ki he potu hahake naʻe ʻi ʻAtaloti ata, ʻo aʻu atu ki Pete-holoni ʻi hahake;

And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;

6 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu hono ngataʻanga ʻo hanga atu ki tahi ki Mikimeta ʻi he potu tokelau; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he potu hahake ki Tenate-Sailo, pea mole ai ʻi he potu hahake ki Sanoa;

and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah,

7 Pea ʻalu hifo mei Sanoa ki ʻAtaloti, pea ki Neelati, ʻo aʻu ki Seliko, pea ngata atu ia ki Soatani.

and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.

8 Pea naʻe ʻalu hono ngataʻanga mei Tapua ʻi he potu lulunga ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko Kana; pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia ko e tahi. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.

From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,

9 Pea ko e ngaahi kolo tuʻu kehe naʻe tuku ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase, ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kolo mo honau ngaahi potu kakai.

with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.

10 Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi kituaʻā ʻae kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa: ka kuo nofo ʻae kau Kēnani fakataha mo e kakai ʻIfalemi, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻonau tauhi mo tukuhau ki ai.

But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute.
