1 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 Beth-el,
Kura ya wana wa Yusufu ilianza kutoka mto wa Yordani hapo Yeriko, hapo penye maji ya Yeriko upande wa mashariki, maana, ni hiyo nyika, kukwea kutoka Yeriko kati ya hiyo nchi ya vilima mpaka Betheli;
2 and goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
kisha ikatoka huko Betheli kwendelea Luzu, kisha ikaendelea hata kuufikilia mpaka wa Waarki mpaka Atarothi;
3 and goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
kisha ikatelemkia upande wa magharibi hata kuufikilia mpaka wa Wayafleti, hata mpaka wa Beth-horoni ya chini, hata kufikilia Gezeri; na matokeo yake yalikuwa hapo baharini.
4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Na wana wa Yusufu, Manase na Efraimu, walitwaa urithi wao.
5 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 Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
Na mpaka wa wana wa Efraimu kwa kuandama jamaa zao ulikuwa hivi; mpaka na urithi wao upande wa mashariki ulikuwa ni Ataroth-adari, hata Beth-horoni wa juu;
6 and the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
kisha mpaka ukatokea kwendelea upande wa magharibi huko Mikmeta upande wa kaskazini; kisha mpaka ukazunguka kwendea upande wa mashariki hata Taanath-shilo, kisha ukaendelea upande wa mashariki wa Yanoa;
7 and it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
kisha ulitelemka kutoka Yanoa hata Atarothi, na Naara, kisha ukafikilia Yeriko, na kutokea hapo penye mto wa Yordani.
8 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.
Kutoka hapo Tapua mpaka ukaendelea upande wa magharibi hata kijito cha Kana; na matokeo yake yalikuwa baharini. Huo ndio urithi wa hao wana wa Efraimu kwa kuandama jamaa zao;
9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
pamoja na ile miji iliyotengwa kwa ajili ya wana wa Efraimu katikati ya urithi wa hao wana wa Manase, miji yote pamoja na vijiji vyake.
10 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.
Nao hawakuwatoa Wakanaani waliokuwa Wakikaa Gezeri; lakini hao Wakanaani waliketi kati ya Efraimu, hata hivi leo, wakawa watumishi wa kufanya kazi za shokoa.
