Joshua 16

1 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.

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 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.

又從伯特利到路斯，接連到亞基人的境界，至亞他綠；

3 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.

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 That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.

約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮就得了他們的地業。

5 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

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 from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.

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 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].

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 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.

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 Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.

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 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.

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。
