¹And 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,

¹Mugove wavana vaJosefa wakatanga paJoridhani paJeriko, pamvura yeJeriko kumabvazuva kurenje, uchitanga paJeriko, ndokukwira napanyika yamakomo uchienda Bheti-eri;

²And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

²ndokubva Bheti-eri kusvikira paRuzi, ndokupfuura napamuganhu wavaArikiti kusvikira paAtaroti;

³And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

³ndokuburukira kumavirazuva kumuganhu wavaJafereti, kusvikira Gezeri, ndokuguma pagungwa.

⁴So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

⁴Vana vaJosefa, Manase naEfuremu, vakatora nhaka yavo.

⁵And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

⁵Muganhu wavana vaEfuremu nemhuri dzavo ndiwo: Muganhu wenhaka yavo kumabvazuva wakange uri Atarotiadhari, kusvikira paBheti-horoni kumusoro;

⁶And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

⁶zvino muganhu ndokuenda kumavirazuva paMikimetati kumusoro; zvino muganhu ndokudzoka kumabvazuva kusvikira paTanati-shiro, ndokupfuura ipapo kurutivi rwamabvazuva eJaNowa;

⁷And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

⁷ndokubva paJaNowa, ndokuburukira Ataroti, neNaara, ndokusvika paJeriko, ndokuguma paJoridhani.

⁸The 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.

⁸Kubva paTapua muganhu wakaenda kumavirazuva, kusvikira parukova Kana, ndokuguma pagungwa. Ndiyo nhaka yorudzi rwavana vaEfuremu nemhuri dzavo;

⁹And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

⁹pamwechete namaguta akanga akakamurirwa vana vaEfuremu pakati penhaka yavana vaManase, maguta ose nemisha yawo.

¹⁰And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

¹⁰havana kudzinga vaKanani vakanga vagere Gezeri; asi vaKanani vakagara pakati pavaEfuremu kusvikira nhasi; vakava vabati vechibharo.
