1 Qoodni Yoosef Yordaanos Yerikoo biratti argamtu, karaa baʼa bishaanota Yerikootii kaʼee gammoojjii keessa qaxxaamuree biyya gaaraa Beetʼeelitti ol baʼa.
And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel.
2 Luuzi ishee Beetʼeel jedhamtu sanaa kaʼee gara biyya Arkaawotaa kan Axaaroti keessatti argamtu sanaatti ceʼa.
And [the border] went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,
3 Achii immoo gara lixaa biyya Yafleexotaatti gad buʼee Beet Horoon gaʼee gara Geezir itti fufee galaanicha gaʼee dhaabata.
and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea.
4 Akkasitti Minaasee fi Efreem, ilmaan Yoosef dhaala isaanii argatan.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Qoodni gosti Efreem balbala balbalaan argatte kunoo kana: Daariin dhaala isaanii gara baʼaatiin Axaaroti Adaarii kaʼee hamma Beet Horoon gara Ol aanuutti deemee
And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;
6 hamma galaanaatti itti fufa. Karaa kaabaatiin Mikmetaatii kaʼee karaa baʼaatiin gara Taanaat Shiiloo goree achiin darbee baʼa Yaanoʼaatti qajeela.
and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah,
7 Ergasii immoo Yaanoʼaadhaa kaʼee Axaarotii fi Naʼaraatti gad buʼee Yerikoo irra naannaʼee Yordaanositti gad baʼa.
and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.
8 Daariin sun Tafuuʼaadhaa kaʼee gama Lixaatiin Laga Qaanaatti gad buʼee galaana gaʼee dhaabata. Dhaalli gosti Efreem balbala balbalaan argatte kanaa dha.
From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,
9 Daariin kun magaalaawwanii fi olloota isaanii kanneen dhaala gosa Minaasee keessatti gosa Efreemiif hambifaman hundas ni dabalata.
with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.
10 Isaan Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraachaa turan sana ariʼanii achii hin baafne ture; hamma harʼaatti Kanaʼaanonni saba Efreem gidduu jiraatu; garuu akka hojii humnaa hojjetan dirqamu.
But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute.
