Joshua 21
1 And the heads of the families of the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the [son] of Naue, and to the heads of families of the tribes of Israel.
Alors vinrent les princes des familles de Lévi vers Eléazar, le prêtre, vers Josué, fils de Nun, et vers les chefs des familles de chaque tribu des enfants d’Israël.
2 And they spoke to them in Selo in the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle.
Et ils leur parlèrent à Silo, dans la terre de Chanaan, et dirent: Le Seigneur a ordonné par l’entremise de Moïse, qu’on nous donnât des villes pour habiter, et leur faubourgs pour nourrir les bêtes.
3 So the children of Israel gave to the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities and the country round.
Et les enfants d’Israël donnèrent de leurs possessions, selon l’ordre du Seigneur, les villes et leurs faubourgs.

Et pour les enfants de Mérari, selon leur parenté, douze villes des tribus de Ruben, de Gad et de Zabulon.
8 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot.
Les enfants d’Israël donnèrent aux Lévites ces villes et leurs faubourgs, comme avait ordonné le Seigneur par l’entremise de Moïse, les distribuant à chacun par le sort.
9 And the tribe of the children of Juda, and the tribe of the children of Symeon, and [part] of the tribe of the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned
Josué donna les villes des tribus des enfants de Juda et de Siméon, dont voici les noms:

42 and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities.
Avec leurs faubourgs, chacune ayant été distribuée selon les familles.
43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and lived in it.
Le Seigneur Dieu donna ainsi à Israël toute la terre qu’il avait juré de livrer à leurs pères; et ils la possédèrent et ils y habitèrent.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
Et il leur donna la paix avec toutes les nations d’alentour; et nul de leurs ennemis n’osa leur résister; mais tous furent soumis à leur domination.
45 There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
Pas même une seule parole de tout ce que Dieu avait promis de leur donner, ne fut vaine; mais toutes furent exactement accomplies.
