Joshua 21

1 Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

Pođoše tada glavari levitskih obitelji k svećeniku Eleazaru i Jošui, sinu Nunovu, i plemenskim glavarima Izraela.

2 And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.

I rekoše im u Šilu, u zemlji kanaanskoj: “Jahve je zapovjedio preko Mojsija da nam se dadu gradovi gdje ćemo živjeti i pašnjaci oko njih za našu stoku.”

3 And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.

Izraelci dadoše levitima od svoje baštine, po zapovijedi Jahvinoj, ove gradove s njihovim pašnjacima.

4 And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

Iziđe, dakle, ždrijeb za porodice Kehatove: levitima, potomcima svećenika Arona, pripade trinaest gradova od plemena Judina, Šimunova i Benjaminova;

5 The rest of the children of Kohath by their families were given ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

Tako je Jahve predao Izraelcima svu zemlju za koju se zakleo da će je dati ocima njihovim. Primili su je u posjed i nastanili se u njoj.

44 And the Lord gave them peace on every side, as he had said to their fathers: all those who were against them gave way before them, for the Lord gave them all up into their hands.

I dade im Jahve da otpočinu u miru na svim međama, kako se bijaše zakleo njihovim ocima. Nitko im od njihovih neprijatelja ne bijaše kadar odoljeti. Sve im je njihove neprijatelje predao Jahve u ruke.

45 The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

Od svih obećanja što ih je Jahve dao domu Izraelovu nijedno ne osta neispunjeno. Sve se ispunilo.
