Joshua 16

1 And the lot, `ethir part, of the sones of Joseph felde fro Jordan ayens Jerico, and at the watris therof, fro the eest; is the wildirnesse, that stieth fro Jerico to the hil of Bethel,

約瑟的子孫拈鬮所得之地是從靠近耶利哥的約旦河起，以耶利哥東邊的水為界：從耶利哥上去，通過山地的曠野，到伯特利；

2 and it goith out fro Bethel `in to Luzan, and passith the terme of Architaroth,

又從伯特利到路斯，接連到亞基人的境界，至亞他綠；

3 and it goith doun to the west, bisidis the terme of Jefleti, `til to the termes of the lowere Bethoron, and of Gazer; and the cuntrees therof ben endid with the greet see,

又往西下到押利提人的境界，到下伯‧和崙的境界，直到基色，通到海為止。

4 whiche cuntreis Manasses and Effraym, the sones of Joseph, weldiden.

約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮就得了他們的地業。

5 And the terme of the sones of Effraym, bi her meynees, and `the possessioun of hem was maad ayens the eest, Accarothaddar `til to the hiyere Bethoron.

以法蓮子孫的境界，按着宗族所得的，記在下面：他們地業的東界是亞他綠‧亞達到上伯‧和崙；

6 And the coostis goon out in to the see; sotheli Mathmetath biholdith the north, and cumpassith the termes ayens the eest in Tharnarselo,

往西通到北邊的密米他，又向東繞到他納‧示羅，又接連到雅挪哈的東邊；

7 and passith fro the stronde of Janee; and it goith doun fro Janee in to Atharoth and Noathara, and cometh in to Jerico; and it goith out to Jordan fro Taphua,

從雅挪哈下到亞他綠，又到拿拉，達到耶利哥，通到約旦河為止；

8 and passith ayens the see in to the valey of `the place of rehedis; and the goyngis out therof ben to the salteste see. This is the possessioun of the sones of Effraym, bi her meynees;

從他普亞往西，到加拿河，直通到海為止。這就是以法蓮支派按着宗族所得的地業。

9 and citees and the townes of tho ben departid to the sones of Effraym, in the myddis of the possessioun of the sones of Manasses.

另外在瑪拿西人地業中得了些城邑和屬城的村莊。這都是分給以法蓮子孫的。

10 And the sones of Effraym killiden not Cananey, that dwellide in Gazer; and Cananey dwellide tributarie in the myddis of Effraym til in to this day.

他們沒有趕出住基色的迦南人；迦南人卻住在以法蓮人中間，成為做苦工的僕人，直到今日。
