16 A rhandir meibion Joseff oedd yn myned o’r Iorddonen wrth Jericho, i ddyfroedd Jericho o du y dwyrain, i’r anialwch sydd yn myned i fyny o Jericho i fynydd Bethel; Ac yn myned o Bethel i Lus, ac yn myned rhagddo i derfyn Arci i Ataroth; Ac yn disgyn tua’r gorllewin i ardal Jaffleti, hyd derfyn Beth‐horon isaf, ac hyd Geser: a’i gyrrau eithaf sydd hyd y môr. Felly meibion Joseff, Manasse ac Effraim, a gymerasant eu hetifeddiaeth.

A therfyn meibion Effraim oedd yn ôl eu teuluoedd; a therfyn eu hetifeddiaeth hwynt o du y dwyrain, oedd Ataroth‐adar, hyd Beth‐horon uchaf. A’r terfyn sydd yn myned tua’r môr, i Michmethath o du y gogledd; a’r terfyn sydd yn amgylchu o du y dwyrain i Taanath‐Seilo, ac yn myned heibio iddo o du y dwyrain i Janoha: Ac yn myned i waered o Janoha, i Ataroth, a Naarath; ac yn cyrhaeddyd i Jericho, ac yn myned allan i’r Iorddonen. O Tappua y mae y terfyn yn myned tua’r gorllewin i afon Cana; a’i gyrrau eithaf sydd wrth y môr. Dyma etifeddiaeth llwyth meibion Effraim, yn ôl eu teuluoedd. A dinasoedd neilltuedig meibion Effraim oedd ymysg etifeddiaeth meibion Manasse; yr holl ddinasoedd, a’u pentrefydd. 10 Ond ni oresgynasant hwy y Canaaneaid, y rhai oedd yn trigo yn Geser: am hynny y trigodd y Canaaneaid ymhlith yr Effraimiaid hyd y dydd hwn, ac y maent yn gwasanaethu dan dreth.

Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh

16 The allotment for Joseph began at the Jordan, east of the springs of Jericho, and went up from there through the desert(A) into the hill country of Bethel.(B) It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz(C)),[a] crossed over to the territory of the Arkites(D) in Ataroth,(E) descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon(F) and on to Gezer,(G) ending at the Mediterranean Sea.

So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.(H)

This was the territory of Ephraim, according to its clans:

The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar(I) in the east to Upper Beth Horon(J) and continued to the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath(K) on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah(L) on the east. Then it went down from Janoah(M) to Ataroth(N) and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. From Tappuah(O) the border went west to the Kanah Ravine(P) and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, according to its clans. It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.(Q)

10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.(R)
