Ilifa likaBawo wethu kuEfrayim
Umda wakwaEfrayim ulandelwa ukusuka eYeriko unyuka ucanda kweleentaba usiya elwandle, kunikwe nemizi eyongezelelweyo ngaphakathi kwesabelo sakwaManase. Esi sahluko siphela ngesivumo: amaKanan aseGezere azange agxothwe, asuka afakwa phantsi komsebenzi onyanzelweyo.
16 1Iqashiso loonyana bakaYosefu lathabathela eYordan ngaseYeriko, ngasempumalanga kwamanzi ayo, laya entlango enyuka isuka eYeriko, icanda kweleentaba, isiya eBheteli. 2Lathabathela eBheteli laya eLuzi, lagqitha laya emdeni wama-Arki eAtaroti. 3Lehla ngasentshonalanga, laya emdeni wamaYafleti, laya emdeni weBhete-horon yasezantsi, laya eGezere; ukuma kwalo, lema ngolwandle.
4Balizuza ke ilifa labo oonyana bakaYosefu, uManase noEfrayim. 5Umda woonyana bakaEfrayim ngokwemizalwane yabo waba ngulo: umda welifa labo ngasempumalanga wathabathela eAtaroti-adare, waya eBhete-horon engasentla. 6Waphuma umda waya elwandle, iMikemetati ingasentla; wajika umda waya empumalanga eTahanati-Shilo, wagqitha ngasempumalanga kwayo, waya eYanowa. 7Wehla usuka eYanowa waya eAtaroti naseNahara, wafikelela eYeriko, waphuma waya eYordan. 8Umda wathabathela eTapuwa waya entshonalanga, waya eMlanjaneni weKana; ukuma kwawo, wema ngolwandle. Lilo elo ilifa lesizwe soonyana bakaEfrayim ngokwemizalwane yabo. 9Oonyana bakaEfrayim babenemizi eyahlulwayo yaba yeyabo phakathi kwelifa loonyana bakaManase, yonke loo mizi nemizana yayo. 10Kodwa abawagqogqanga amaKanan abemi eGezere; ahlala amaKanan kumaEfrayim unanamhla, efakwa uviko.
