Joshua 16

¹Mugove wavana vaJosefa wakatanga paJorodhani paJeriko, pamvura yeJeriko kumabvazuva kurenje, uchitanga paJeriko, ndokukwira napanyika yamakomo uchienda Bheti-eri;And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

²ndokubva Bheti-eri kusvikira paRuzi, ndokupfuura napamuganhu wavaArikiti kusvikira paAtaroti;And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

³ndokuburukira kumavirazuva kumuganhu wavaJafereti, kusvikira Gezeri, ndokuguma pagungwa.And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

⁴Vana vaJosefa, Manase naEfuremu, vakatora nhaka yavo.So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

⁵Muganhu wavana vaEfuremu nemhuri dzavo ndiwo: Muganhu wenhaka yavo kumabvazuva wakanga uri Atarotiadhari, kusvikira paBheti-horoni kumusoro;And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;

⁶zvino muganhu ndokuenda kumavirazuva paMikimetati kumusoro; zvino muganhu ndokudzoka kumabvazuva kusvikira paTanati-shiro, ndokupfuura ipapo kurutivi rwamabvazuva eJanoa;And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

⁷ndokubva paJanoa, ndokuburukira Ataroti, neNaara, ndokusvika paJeriko, ndokuguma paJorodhani.And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

⁸Kubva paTapua muganhu wakaenda kumavirazuva, kusvikira parukova Kana, ndokuguma pagungwa. Ndiyo nhaka yorudzi rwavana vaEfuremu nemhuri dzavo;The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

⁹pamwechete namaguta akanga akakamurirwa vana vaEfuremu pakati penhaka yavana vaManase, maguta ose nemisha yawo.And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

¹⁰havana kudzinga vaKenani vakanga vagere Gezeri; asi vaKenani vakagara pakati pavaEfuremu kusvikira nhasi; vakava vabati vechibharo.And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
