1 Yosef asefoɔ no kyɛfa firi Asubɔnten Yordan fa a ɛbɛn Yeriko, wɔ Yeriko nsuwa no apueeɛ fam, kɔfa ɛserɛ no so kɔpue Bet-El bepɔ asase no so.
The land that was allotted to [the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh that were descended from] Joseph started at the Jordan [River], east of the springs at Jericho.
2 Ɛfiri Bet-El (a ɛyɛ Lus) a, ɛfa Atarot a ɛwɔ Arkifoɔ mantam mu.
It extended west from Jericho to the hilly area near Bethel, which is also called Luz. It extended as far as Ataroth, at the border of the land where the Arki people-group lived.
3 Esiane fa atɔeɛ fam kɔsi Bet-Horon Anafoɔ a ɛwɔ Yafletifoɔ mantam mu. Ɛtoa so kɔ Geser na afei akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mu.
From there it extended west to the border of the land where the Japhleti people-group lived, and then it extended west to the area near Lower Beth-Horon. From there it extended west to Gezer [city] and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
4 Yosef mmammarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapadeɛ.
That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.
5 Wɔde saa asase yi maa Efraim mmusua sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ. Wɔn agyapadeɛ no ɛhyeɛ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no firi Atarot-Adar. Ɛfiri hɔ kɔ Bet-Horon Soro,
The border of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim started at Ataroth-Addar [city] in the east. It extended to Upper Beth-Horon

and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
7 Ɛfiri Yanoa a, ɛdane fa anafoɔ fam kɔ Atarot ne Naara, ɛka Yeriko, na akɔpem Asubɔnten Yordan.
From Michmethath [on the north] it extended east to Taanath and from there on to Janoah. From there it extended [south] to Ataroth [city] and to Naarah [town]. From there it extended to Jericho and from there to the Jordan [River].
8 Ɛfiri Tapua a, ɛhyeɛ no kɔ atɔeɛ fam, nam Kana Suka no mu kɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no. Saa agyapadeɛ yi na wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Efraim abusuakuo no.
The [northern] border extended from Tappuah west to Kanah Ravine, and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the land that was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.
9 Wɔde nkuro bi ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuo no fa mantam mu maa Efraim.
Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.
10 Wɔampamo Kanaanfoɔ no amfiri Geser, enti Geserfoɔ te hɔ sɛ nkoa bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
The people of the tribe of Ephraim could not force the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer, so the Canaan people-group still live among the people of the tribe of Ephraim, but the Israelis forced the people of the Canaan people-group to become their slaves.
