Joshua 16

1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

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.

2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

Efi Bet-El, a ɛyɛ Lus, a ɛfa Atarot a ɛwɔ Arkifo mantam mu.

3 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Bethhoron the lower, and to Gezer: and the ends of it are at the sea.

Esian fa atɔe fam kosi Bet-Horon Anafo a ɛwɔ Yafletifo mantam mu. Ɛtoa so kɔ Geser na afei akosi Po Kɛse no mu.

4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Yosef mmabarima Manase ne Efraim mmusua nyaa wɔn agyapade.

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 Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;

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,

6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

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.

7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and came out at Jordan.

Efi Yanoa a, ɛdan fa anafo fam kɔ Atarot ne Naara, ɛka Yeriko, na akɔpem Asubɔnten Yordan.

8 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the ends of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

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.

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.

Wɔde nkurow bi ne wɔn nkuraase a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuw no fa mantam mu maa Efraim.

10 And they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve at forced labour.

Wɔampam Kanaanfo no amfi Geser, enti Geserfo te hɔ sɛ nkoa de besi nnɛ.
