Ang Lupaing para sa Lipi ng Efraim at Manases
16 Ang lupaing napapunta sa angkan ni Jose ay nagsisimula sa Jordan sa tapat ng Jerico—sa silangan ng batis ng Jerico; papunta sa ilang, at umahon sa kaburulan hanggang sa Bethel; 2 buhat sa Bethel ay nagtuloy sa Luz at nilakbay ang Atarot na lupain ng mga Arkita; 3 bumabâ pakanluran sa lupain ng mga Jaflatita, nagdaan sa hangganan ng Timog Beth-horon, tumuloy ng Gezer, at nagwakas sa Dagat Mediteraneo.
4 Ito ang lupaing napapunta sa angkan ni Jose, sa mga lipi ni Efraim at Manases.
5 Ang hangganang silangan ng lupaing napunta sa lipi ni Efraim ay ang Atarot-adar, hanggang sa Hilagang Beth-horon. 6 Buhat doon ay naglakbay sa timog ng Micmetat, at nagtungo sa Dagat Mediteraneo. Sa gawing silanga'y lumikong patungo sa Taanat-silo, at buhat doo'y nagtuloy sa may silangan ng Janoa. 7 Lumampas ng Janoa at bumabâ sa Atarot at Naara, nagdaan sa tabi ng Jerico at nagtapos sa Jordan. 8 Pumakanluran buhat sa Tapua, namaybay ng batis ng Cana, at nagtapos sa Dagat Mediteraneo. Ito ang lupaing napapunta sa lipi ni Efraim, 9 bukod sa mga bayan at nayong ibinigay sa kanila sa nasasakupan ng lupain ng lipi ni Manases. 10 Hindi(A) na nila pinaalis ang mga Cananeong nakatira sa Gezer, kaya may mga Cananeong naninirahan sa Efraim hanggang ngayon. Subalit sapilitang pinagtrabaho ang mga ito bilang mga alipin.
Joshua 16
New International Version
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) 2 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz(C)),[a] crossed over to the territory of the Arkites(D) in Ataroth,(E) 3 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.
4 So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.(H)
5 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) 6 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. 7 Then it went down from Janoah(M) to Ataroth(N) and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. 8 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. 9 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)
