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;

Awo abakulira ennyumba mu kika ky’Abaleevi ne bajja eri Eriyazaali kabona n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’eri abakulu b’ennyumba z’abaana ba Isirayiri

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.

e Siiro mu Kanani ne babagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira okuyita mu Musa nti tuweebwe ebibuga eby’okubeeramu era n’amalundiro g’ebisibo byaffe.”

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.

Kale, nga Mukama bwe yalagira, Abayisirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino n’amalundiro nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.

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.

Akalulu ne kagwa ku nda ez’Abakokasi. Bwe batyo Abaleevi abaali bava mu Alooni kabona ne bafuna ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu bika bya Yuda, ne Simyoni ne Benyamini.

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.

6 The children of Gershon by their families were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh which was in Bashan.

N’abaana ba Gerusoni ne baweebwa ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu nnyumba zino: eya Isakaali, n’eya Aseri, n’eya Nafutaali, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase mu Basani.

7 The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.

Abaana ba Merali ne baweebwa ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, ebibuga kkumi na bibiri nga biva mu bika bino: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Zebbulooni.

8 All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.

Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino, n’amalundiro gaabwe nga Mukama bwe yali alagidde okuyita mu Musa.

9 From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:

Mu bika bya Yuda ne Simyoni mwavaamu ebibuga bino:

10 These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.

bye byaweebwa abaana ba Alooni mu nnyumba z’Abakokasi mu kika ky’Abaleevi kubanga akalulu be kasooka okugwako.

11 They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.

Ne babawa Kiriasualuba (Aluba ye yali kitaawe wa Anaki) era ekimanyiddwa nga Kebbulooni mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Yuda n’ebyalo byakyo ebikyetoolodde.

12 But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

Naye ennimiro zaakyo n’ebibuga byakyo ne babiwa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune abitwale ng’omugabo gwe.

13 And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands;

Ebyo byonna byali by’abaana ba Merali be Baleevi, abaali basigalidde ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, bye bibuga kkumi na bibiri byonna awamu.

41 All the towns of the Levites, among the heritage of the children of Israel, were forty-eight towns with their grass-lands.

Ebibuga byonna ebyali ku ttaka ery’abaana ba Isirayiri byali amakumi ana mu munaana awamu n’ebyalo byabyo ebibiriraanye.

42 Every one of these towns had grass-lands round it.

Buli kimu ku bibuga bino kyalina ebyalo ebikyetoolodde; byonna ebibuga bwe byali.

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.

Bw’atyo Mukama n’awa Isirayiri ettaka lyonna nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, era bwe baamala okulifuna ne babeera omwo.

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.

Mukama n’abawa emirembe ne bawummula ku buli luuyi nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, tewali mulabe waabwe n’omu gwe bataawangula kubanga Mukama yali agabudde abalabe baabwe mu mukono gwabwe.

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.

Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.
