若蘇厄書 Joshua
1若瑟的子孫抽籤分得的土地,從耶里哥對面的約但河起,到耶里哥東面的水源,沿着曠野,由耶里哥向上到貝特耳山區, 1 The lot that fell to the Josephites extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho east of the desert; then the boundary went up from Jericho to the heights at Bethel.
2再由貝特耳路次,沿着阿爾基人的邊境,延至阿塔洛特。 2Leaving Bethel for Luz, it crossed the ridge to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,
3然後向西下至雅費肋提人的境界,直到下貝特曷龍的邊境,以迄於革則爾,直達於海。 3and descended westward to the border of the Japhletites, to that of the Lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer, ending thence at the sea.
4這是若瑟的兒子默納協和厄弗辣因分得的產業。 4Within the heritage of Manasseh and Ephraim, sons of Joseph,
5以下是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的土地:他們產業的邊界,東面是阿塔洛特阿達爾,直到上貝特曷龍, 5 the dividing line for the heritage of the clans of the Ephraimites ran from east of Ataroth-addar to Upper Bethhoron
6直達於海。北端是米革默塔特,由此向東轉向塔納特史羅,越過雅諾亞東部, 6and thence to the sea. From Michmethath on the north, their boundary curved eastward around Taanath-shiloh, and continued east of it to Janoah;
7再由雅諾亞下至阿塔洛特和納阿辣,經耶里哥直達約但河。 7from there it descended to Ataroth and Naarah, and skirting Jericho, it ended at the Jordan.
8又從塔普亞往西到卡納谷,直達於海:以上是厄弗辣因子孫按照家族分得的產業。 8From Tappuah the boundary ran westward to the Wadi Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the heritage of the clans of the Ephraimites,
9此外,屬默納協子孫的產業中,還有給厄弗辣因子孫保留的城市──城市和所屬的村鎮。 9including the villages that belonged to each city set aside for the Ephraimites within the territory of the Manassehites.
10但是他們未能將住在革則爾的客納罕人趕走,因此客納罕人直到今日還住在厄弗辣因人中間,充當苦役。 10But they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, who live on within Ephraim to the present day, though they have been impressed as laborers.
