Josué 16

Te Rohe o Ēparaima me Manahi ki te Uru

1 Ā, ko te rota i ngā tama a Hōhepa, i rere atu i Horano i Heriko, i ngā wai o Heriko ki te rāwhiti, ā tae noa ki te koraha, e aupiki atu rā i Heriko mā te whenua pukepuke ki Pētēre. 2 Nā, ka haere atu i Pētēre ki Rutu, ā, tika tonu atu ki ngā rohe o Araki ki Ataroto. 3 Nā, ka haere ki raro whaka te hauāuru ki te rohe o Iaparēti tae noa ki te rohe o Petehorono ki raro, ki Kētere; ā, ko tōna putanga atu kei te moana.

4 Nā, ka riro i ngā tama a Hōhepa, i a Mānahi rāua ko Ēparaima tō rātou kāinga tupu.

5 Ā, ko te rohe tēnei ki ngā tama a Ēparaima, ki ō rātou hapū:

Ko te rohe o tō rātou kāinga whaka te rāwhiti ko Ataroto Arara, tae noa ki Petehorono ki runga; 6 ā, i puta atu te rohe whaka te hauāuru ki Mikimeta ki te raki; ā, i āwhio haere te rohe whaka te rāwhiti ki Taanata Hiro, ā, ka whakarērea atu a reira i te taha ki te rāwhiti o Ianoha. 7 Nā, ka anga i Ianoha ki raro ki Ataroto, ā, ki Naarata, ā, ka pā ki Heriko, puta rawa atu kei Horano. 8 I haere atu te rohe i Tapua whaka te hauāuru ki te awa ki Kanaha; ā, kei te moana ōna putanga atu. Ko te wāhi tupu tēnei o te iwi o ngā tama a Ēparaima, o ō rātou hapū; 9 me ngā pā i motuhia mō ngā tama a Ēparaima i roto i te wāhi o ngā tama a Mānahi, ngā pā katoa me ngā kāinga o aua pā.

10 Ā, kīhai i peia e rātou te Kanaani e noho ana i Kētere; heoi noho ana te Kanaani i waenganui o Ēparaima ā taea noatia tēnei rā, ā, ka meinga hei pononga, hei mahi i ngā mahi.

1 And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el; 2 and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth; 3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. 4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; 6 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah; 7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan. 8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families; 9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 10 And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.
