| 15 ܐ̇ܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܥܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܣܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܓܒܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܘܓܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܙܝܐ ܘܕܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܝܨ ܗܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ | 15 And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee. |
| 16 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܐ ܣ̇ܦܩ ܠܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܘܡܕܝܢ̈ܬܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܙܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܢ̈ܥܢܝܐ ܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܥܘܡܩܐ ܘܒܒܝܬ ܝܫܢ ܘܒܟܦܪ̈ܘܢܝܗ̇ ܘܒܥܘܡܩܐ ܕܐܝܙܪܥܝܠ | 16 And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron |
| 17 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܡܢܫܐ ܥܡܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܣܦܩܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ | 17 And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only: |
| 18 ܓܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܘܣ̇ܦܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܓܒ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܦܩ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܘܚܪܘܒܘ ܠܟܢܥܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܦܪ̈ܙܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܕܥܫܝ̈ܢܢ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܥܫܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ | 18 But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong. |
