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 of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel, (fell: Heb. went forth)

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

And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi 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 goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

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

So 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 according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

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 out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

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

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

The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by 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.

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 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.

And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
