Yosua 16
1 Yosef asefo no kyɛfa fi Asubɔnten Yordan fa a ɛbɛn Yeriko, wɔ Yeriko nsuwa no apuei fam, kɔfa sare no so kopue Bet-El bepɔw asase no so.
And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;
2 Efi Bet-El, a ɛyɛ Lus, a ɛfa Atarot a ɛwɔ Arkifo mantam mu.
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 Esian fa atɔe fam kosi Bet-Horon Anafo a ɛwɔ Yafletifo mantam mu. Ɛtoa so kɔ Geser na afei akosi Po Kɛse no mu.
And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.
4 Yosef mmabarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapade.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.
5 Wɔde saa asase yi maa Efraim mmusua sɛ wɔn agyapade. Wɔn agyapade no hye a ɛwɔ apuei fam no fi Atarot-Adar. Efi hɔ kɔ Bet-Horon Soro,
And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;
6 na akɔ Po Kɛse no ho. Atifi fam hye no fi Po Kɛse no, ɛfa apuei fam, twa mu wɔ Mikmetat, na akɔntɔn afa apuei fam, atwa mu wɔ Taanat-Silo akɔ Yanoa apuei fam.
The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;
7 Efi Yanoa a, ɛdan fa anafo fam kɔ Atarot ne Naara, ɛka Yeriko, na akɔpem Asubɔnten Yordan.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
8 Efi Tapua a, ɔhye no kɔ atɔe fam, nam Kana Suka no mu kosi Po Kɛse no. Saa agyapade yi na wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Efraim abusuakuw no.
From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;
9 Wɔde nkurow bi ne wɔn nkuraase a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuw no fa mantam mu maa Efraim.
Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.
10 Wɔampam Kanaanfo no amfi Geser, enti Geserfo te hɔ sɛ nkoa de besi nnɛ.
And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.
