10 Kasi babenganaki te bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Gezeri. Yango wana, bato ya Kanana bazali kovanda kati na bato ya Efrayimi kino na mokolo ya lelo. Kasi bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi oyo ekoki na bawumbu.

They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.
