Kura ya wana wa Yusufu ilianza kutoka mto wa Yordani hapo Yeriko, hapo penye maji ya Yeriko upande wa mashariki, maana, ni hiyo nyika, kukwea kutoka Yeriko kati ya hiyo nchi ya vilima mpaka Betheli;
The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.
2
kisha ikatoka huko Betheli kwendelea Luzu, kisha ikaendelea hata kuufikilia mpaka wa Waarki mpaka Atarothi;
It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
3
kisha ikatelemkia upande wa magharibi hata kuufikilia mpaka wa Wayafleti, hata mpaka wa Beth-horoni ya chini, hata kufikilia Gezeri; na matokeo yake yalikuwa hapo baharini.
Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
4
Na wana wa Yusufu, Manase na Efraimu, walitwaa urithi wao.
So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5
Na mpaka wa wana wa Efraimu kwa kuandama jamaa zao ulikuwa hivi; mpaka na urithi wao upande wa mashariki ulikuwa ni Ataroth-adari, hata Beth-horoni wa juu;
This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon
6
kisha mpaka ukatokea kwendelea upande wa magharibi huko Mikmeta upande wa kaskazini; kisha mpaka ukazunguka kwendea upande wa mashariki hata Taanath-shilo, kisha ukaendelea upande wa mashariki wa Yanoa;
and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
7
kisha ulitelemka kutoka Yanoa hata Atarothi, na Naara, kisha ukafikilia Yeriko, na kutokea hapo penye mto wa Yordani.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
8
Kutoka hapo Tapua mpaka ukaendelea upande wa magharibi hata kijito cha Kana; na matokeo yake yalikuwa baharini. Huo ndio urithi wa hao wana wa Efraimu kwa kuandama jamaa zao;
From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
9
pamoja na ile miji iliyotengwa kwa ajili ya wana wa Efraimu katikati ya urithi wa hao wana wa Manase, miji yote pamoja na vijiji vyake.
along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.

Nao hawakuwatoa Wakanaani waliokuwa Wakikaa Gezeri; lakini hao Wakanaani waliketi kati ya Efraimu, hata hivi leo, wakawa watumishi wa kufanya kazi za shokoa.
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
