Joshua 21
1 And the leaders of the families of Levi approached Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the rulers of the extended families of each of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
Nañarine amy Elatsare mpisoroñe naho amy Iehosoa ana’ i None, naho amo talèm-pifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleo o talen-droaen-te-Levio;
2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, and they said, “The Lord instructed, by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given to us as habitations, with their suburbs to nourish our cattle.”
le nisaontsy am’ iereo e Silò an-tane Kenaàne ao ami’ty hoe: Nandilia’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosè ty hanolorañe anay rova himoneña’ay rekets’ o fiandrazañe mañohok’ aze ho amo hare’aio.
3 And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with the order of the Lord.
Aa le natolo’ o ana’ Israeleo amo nte-Levio, boak’ amo fanaña’ iareoo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, o rova retoa naho o fiandraza’eo.
4 And the lot went out for the family of Kohath, of the sons of Aaron, the priest, from the tribes of Judah and Simeon and Benjamin: thirteen cities.
Aa le niboak’ an-tsapake ty ho a o hasavereña’ o nte-Kehàteo: Le niazo’ o ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe, nte-Levio, an-tsapake, am-pifokoa’ Iehodà naho am-pifokoa’ i Simone, naho am-pifokoa’ i Beniamine, ty rova folo-telo amby.
5 And to the remainder of the sons of Kohath, that is, to the Levites who were left over, there went, from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
Ty ila’ o ana’ i Kehàteo ro nandrambe an-tsapake boak’ an-kasavereñam-pifokoa’ i Efraime naho am-pifokoa’ i Dane, naho amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy: rova folo.
6 And next the lot went out to the sons of Gershon, so that they would receive, from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh at Bashan: the number of thirteen cities.
Le niazo’ o ana’ i Gersoneo an-tsapake boak’ an-kasavereñam-pifokoa’ Isakhare naho boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Asere, naho boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Naftalý, vaho boak’ ami’ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè e Basane, ty rova folo-telo’ amby.
7 And to the sons of Merari, by their families, from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun, there went twelve cities.
Le niazo o ana’ i Merarìo ty amo hasavereña’eo, an-tsapake, tam-pifokoa’ i Reobene, naho tam-pifokoa’ i Gade, naho tam-pifokoa’ i Zebolone, ty rova folo-ro’ amby.
8 And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs to the Levites, just as the Lord instructed by the hand of Moses, distributing to each by lot.
Aa le natolo’ o ana’ Israeleo amo nte-Levio an-tsapake i rova rey reketse ty tane fiandrazañe mañohoke iareo, ty amy lili’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosèy.
9 From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:
Aa le natolotse boak’ am-pifokoa’ o ana’ Iehodao naho am-pifokoa’ o ana’ i Simoneo o rova toñoneñe ami’ty añara’e rezao:
10 to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them, )
Ho amo ana’ i Aharoneo, raik’ amo hasavereñan-te-Kehàte ana’ i Levio; fa a’ iareo i kitsapake valoha’ey,
11 the city of Arba, the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, on the mountain of Judah, and its surrounding suburbs.
natolotse iareo ty Kiriate-Arba, (ana’ i Anàke t’i Arba)—i Kebrone izay—am-bohibohi’ Iehoda ao, rekets’ o tane fiandrazañe mañohok’ azeo.
12 Yet truly, the fields and its villages he had given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as a possession.
Fe natolo’ iareo amy Kalebe ana’ Iefonè ho fanaña’e ka o teteke naho tanà’ i rovaio.
13 Therefore, he gave to the sons of Aaron the priest, Hebron as a city of refuge, as well as its suburbs, and Libnah, with its suburbs,
Natolo’ iareo amo ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñeo t’i Kebrone naho o fiandraza’eo ho fitsoloham-pamono, naho i Libnà reke-piandrazañe;
14 and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,
naho Iatire reke-piandrazañe naho i Estemoa reke-piandrazañe
15 and Holon, and Debir,
naho i Kolone reke-piandrazañe naho i Debire reke-piandrazañe;
16 and Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their suburbs: nine cities from two tribes, just as has been said.
naho i Aine reke-piandrazañe naho Iotà reke-piandrazañe naho i Bete-semese reke-piandrazañe; rova sive boak’ amy fifokoa roe rey.
17 Then, from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,
Naho boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Beniamine, i Gibone reke-piandrazañe naho i Gebà reke-piandrazañe,
18 and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs: four cities.
naho i Anatote reke-piandrazañe naho i Almone reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse.
19 All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.
I hene rovan’ ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe rey: rova folo-telo’ amby reke-piandrazañe.
20 Yet truly, the remainder of the families of the sons of Kohath, of the stock of Levi, were given this possession:
Aa le o hasavereñan’ ana’ i Kehàte, nte-Levio, o ilan’ ana’ i Kehàteo: i rova niazo’ iareo an-tsapake boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Efraime rey:
21 from the tribe of Ephraim, Shechem, one of the cities of refuge, with its suburbs, on mount Ephraim, and Gezer,
natolotse iareo ty Sekeme am-bohibohi’ i Efraime ao reke-piandrazañe ho rovam-pitsoloha’ ty namono naho i Gezere reke-piandrazañe
22 and Kibzaim, and Beth-horon, with their suburbs, four cities;
naho i Kib’ tsaime reke-piandrazañe, naho i Bete-korone reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse.
23 and from the tribe of Dan, Elteke and Gibbethon,
Le boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Dane, i Eltekè reke-piandrazañe, naho i Gibetone reke-piandrazañe
24 and Aijalon and Gath-Rimmon, with their suburbs, four cities;
naho i Ai’ialone reke-piandrazañe naho i Gat-rimòne reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse.
25 then, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and Gath-Rimmon, with their suburbs, two cities.
Le boak’ami’ ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè, i Tanake reke-piandrazañe, naho i Gat’rimòne reke-piandrazañe: rova roe.
26 All the cities were ten, with their suburbs; these were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lesser degree.
I hene rova’ o ana’ i Kehàte ila’eo le folo reke-piandrazañe.
27 Likewise, to the sons of Gershon, of the stock of Levi, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, went Golan in Bashan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities;
Le boak’ amy vakim-pifokoa’ ila’ i Menasèy ka ty nanolorañe o ana’ i Gersone amo hasavereña’ i Levioo, i Golane e Basane ao reke-piandrazañe, ho rovam-pitsoloha’ ty namono ondaty naho i Bisterà reke-piandrazañe: rova roe.
28 also, from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, and Daberath,
Le boak’ am-pifokoa’ Isakhare, i Kisone reke-piandrazañe naho i Dabarè reke-piandrazañe,
29 and Jarmuth, and Engannim, with their suburbs, four cities;
Iarmote reke-piandrazañe, i Enganime reke-piandrazañe, rova efatse.
30 then, from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon,
Le boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Asere: i Misale reke-piandrazañe naho i Abdone reke-piandrazañe,
31 and Helkath and Rehob, with their suburbs, four cities;
i Kelkate reke-piandrazañe, naho i Rekobe reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse.
32 likewise, from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee, one of the cities of refuge, and Hammoth-Dor, and Kartan, with their suburbs, three cities.
Le tam-pifokoa’ i Naftalý, i Kedese e Galilà reke-piandrazañe ho rovam-pitsoloha’ ty namono ondaty naho i Kamote’ dore reke-piandrazañe naho i Kartane reke-piandrazañe: rova telo.
33 All the cities of the families of Gershon were thirteen, with their suburbs.
Ze hene rova’ o nte-Gersoneo ty amo hasavereña’eo: rova folo-telo’ amby reke-piandrazañe.
34 Then, to the sons of Merari, Levites of the lesser degree, by their families, were given, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah,
Le ho amo hasavereñan’ ana’ i Merario, ty sisa’ amo nte-Levio: Boak’ am-pifokoa’ i Zebolone, Iok’neame reke-piandrazañe, naho i Kartà reke-piandrazañe,
35 and Dimnah and Nahalal, four cities with their suburbs;
i Dimnà reke-piandrazañe, vaho i Nahalale reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse.
36 from the tribe of Reuben, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho, Bezer in the wilderness, one of the cities of refuge, Misor and Jazer, and Jethson and Mephaath, four cities with their suburbs;
Le boak’ am-pifokoa Reobene: i Betsere reke-piandrazañe, naho Iatsà reke-piandrazañe,
37 from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth of Gilead, one of the cities of refuge, and Mahanaim and Heshbon and Jazer, four cities with their suburbs.
i Kedemote reke-piandrazañe, naho i Mefaate reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse;
le tam-pifokoa’ i Gade, i Ramote e Gilade ao reke-piandrazañe, ho rovam-pitsoloha’ ty namono ondaty, naho i Mahanaime reke-piandrazañe,
naho i Khesbone reke-piandrazañe, Iaazere reke-piandrazañe: rova efatse ty tonto’e.
40 All the cities of the sons of Merari, by their families and extended families, were twelve.
Aa le o rova natolotse amo ana’ i Merario iabio, sisa’ o nte Levio ty amo hasavereña’eo: rova folo-ro’ amby ty niazo’ iareo an-tsapake.
41 And so all the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight,
Ze hene rova’ o nte-Levio: rova efa-polo-valo’ amby reke-piandrazañe, añivom-panaña’ o ana’ Israeleo ao;
42 with their suburbs, each distributed by families.
I rova rezay ro songa reke-piandrazañe; le izay ty ie amy fonga rova rey.
43 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn he would deliver to their fathers. And they possessed it, and they lived in it.
Aa le hene natolo’ Iehovà am’ Israele i tane nifantà’e hatolotse an-droae’ iareoy le nitavane’ iereo vaho nimoneñañe.
44 And he gave them peace with all the surrounding nations. And none of their enemies dared to stand against them; instead, they were brought under their sovereignty.
Le nampitofà’ Iehovà o nañohoke iareoo ty amo hene nifantà’e aman-droae’ iareoo; vaho leo raik’ amo rafelahi’eo tsy nitroatse am’ iereo, fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ iareo ze fonga rafelahi’ iareo.
45 Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.
Tsy teo ty hasoa nipoke ze nampitama’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ Israeley, songa nitendreke.
