Joshua 21
1 Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel
Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Levita dia nanatona an’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely
2 at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”
ka niteny taminy tao Silo tao amin’ ny tany Kanana hoe: Jehovah efa nampandidy an’ i Mosesy mba homena tanàna hitoerana izahay sy tany manodidina azy ho an’ ny biby fiompinay.
3 So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
Dia avy tamin’ ny lovany no nanomezan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita izao tanàna izao sy ny tany manodidina azy avy araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.
4 The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
Dia nahazo loka ny fokon’ ny Kehatita; ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Arona mpisorona isan’ ny Levita dia tanàna telo ambin’ ny folo, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda sy ny firenen’ i Simeona ary ny firenen’ i Benjamina.
5 The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata sisa dia tanàna folo, avy tamin’ ny fokon’ ny firenen’ i Efraima sy ny firenen’ i Dana ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase.
6 The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7 And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Merary isam-pokony dia tanàna roa ambin’ ny folo, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena sy ny firenen’ i Gada ary ny firenen’ i Zebolona.
8 So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
Dia nomen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita tamin’ ny filokana ireo tanàna ireo sy ny tany manodidina azy avy, araka izay nasain’ i Jehovah nandidian’ i Mosesy.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name
Dia nomeny avy tamin’ ny firenena taranak’ i Joda sy ny firenena taranak’ i Simeona ireto tanàna hotononina ireto,
10 to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:
izay azon’ ny taranak’ i Arona, isam-pokon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata, amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy; fa azy ny loka voalohany.
11 They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
Dia nomeny azy ny tanànan’ i Arba, rain’ i Anàka (Hebrona izany), any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Joda, mbamin’ ny tany manodidina azy.

Fa ny saha momba ny tanàna sy ny zana-bohiny dia nomeny ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone.
13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave these cities, together with their pasturelands: Hebron, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah,
Dia nomeny ny taranak’ i Arona mpisorona Hebrona sy ny tany manodidina azy, ho tanàna fandosirana ho an’ izay nahafaty olona, ary Libna sy ny tany manodidina azy
14 Jattir, Eshtemoa,

Dia nomen’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely ny tany rehetra izay efa nianianany homena ny razany; ary nandova izany izy ireo ka nonina teo,
44 And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Dia nomen’ i Jehovah fitsaharana amin’ ny manodidina izy, araka izay rehetra nianiananany tamin’ ny razany, ka tsy nisy lehilahy tamin’ ny fahavalony rehetra nahajanona teo anoloany; fa natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany avokoa ny fahavalony rehetra.
45 Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
Tsy nisy latsata na dia kely akory aza ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; fa tanteraka avokoa izany rehetra izany.
