< 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.
Na ka whakatata mai nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti ki a Ereatara tohunga, ki a Hohua tama a Nunu, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira;
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.”
A ka korero ki a ratou i Hiro, i te whenua o Kanaana, ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa, na Mohi i whakapuaki, kia homai ki a matou etahi pa hei nohoanga, me nga wahi o waho ake mo a matou kararehe.
3 And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with the order of the Lord.
Katahi ka hoatu e nga tama a Iharaira i roto i o ratou wahi enei pa me nga wahi o waho ake ki nga Riwaiti, ko ta Ihowa hoki ia i ki ai.
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.
Na ka puta ake te rota, ko to nga hapu o nga Kohati: a i riro i nga tama a Arona tohunga, i era o nga Riwaiti, tekau ma toru nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o te iwi o Hura, no roto i o te iwi o Himiona, no roto hoki i o te iwi o Peineamine.
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.
Na i riro i era atu o nga tama a Kohata tekau nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o nga hapu o te iwi o Eparaima, no roto i o te iwi o Rana, no roto hoki i o tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi.
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.
A i riro i nga tama a Kerehona kotahi tekau ma toru nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o nga hapu o te iwi o Ihakara, no roto i o te iwi o Ahera, no roto i o te iwi o Napatari, no roto hoki i o tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi i Pahana.
7 And to the sons of Merari, by their families, from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun, there went twelve cities.
A i riro i nga tama a Merari, i o ratou hapu, kotahi tekau ma rua nga pa, no roto i o te iwi o Reupena, no roto i o te iwi o Kara, no roto hoki i o te iwi o Hepurona.
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.
Na hoatu ana e nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti, he mea rota, enei pa, me nga wahi o waho ake, he mea pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, i whakapuakina e Mohi.
9 From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:
A i hoatu e ratou i roto i o te iwi o nga tama a Hura, i o te iwi hoki o nga tama a Himiona, enei pa ka whakahuatia nei nga ingoa;
10 to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them, )
A i riro i nga tama a Arona, ara i nga hapu o nga Kohati, he tama nei ratou na Riwai: no ratou hoki te rota tuatahi.
11 the city of Arba, the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, on the mountain of Judah, and its surrounding suburbs.
I hoatu ano ki a ratou a Kiriata Arapa, ko taua Arapa nei te papa o Anaka, ara o Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura, me ona wahi o waho ake a tawhio noa.
12 Yet truly, the fields and its villages he had given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as a possession.
Ko nga mara ia o te pa, me ona kainga, i hoatu e ratou ki a Karepe tama a Iepune hei kainga tupu mona.
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,
Na hoatu ana e ratou ki nga tama a te tohunga, a Arona, a Heperona me ona wahi o waho ake, hei pa rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, a Ripina hoki, me ona wahi o waho ake;
14 and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,
A Iatiri me ona wahi o waho ake, a Ehetemoa me ona wahi o waho ake;
15 and Holon, and Debir,
A Horono me ona wahi o waho ake, a Tepiri me ona wahi o waho ake;
16 and Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their suburbs: nine cities from two tribes, just as has been said.
A Aina hoki me ona wahi o waho ake, a Iuta me ona wahi o waho ake, a Petehemehe me ona wahi o waho ake; e iwa nga pa i roto i o enei iwi e rua.
17 Then, from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,
A, no roto i o te iwi o Pineamine, ko Kipeono me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Kepa me ona wahi o waho ake;
18 and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs: four cities.
Ko Anatoto me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Aramono me ona wahi o waho ake; e wha nga pa.
19 All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.
Na, ko nga pa katoa o nga tama a Arona, o nga tohunga, kotahi tekau ma toru me nga wahi o waho ake.
20 Yet truly, the remainder of the families of the sons of Kohath, of the stock of Levi, were given this possession:
Na i riro i nga hapu o nga tama a Kohata, i nga Riwaiti, ara i era atu o nga tama a Kohata, he mea rota, nga pa no roto i to te iwi o Eparaima.
21 from the tribe of Ephraim, Shechem, one of the cities of refuge, with its suburbs, on mount Ephraim, and Gezer,
A i hoatu e ratou a Hekeme i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima ki a ratou, me ona wahi o waho ake, hei pa rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, a Ketere hoki me ona wahi o waho ake;

26 All the cities were ten, with their suburbs; these were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lesser degree.
Ko nga pa katoa o nga hapu o era atu o nga tama a Kohata kotahi tekau me nga wahi o waho ake.
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;
Na i hoatu e ratou, no roto i to tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, ki nga tama a Kerehona, o nga hapu o nga Riwaiti, ko Korana i Pahana me ona wahi o waho ake, hei pa rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate; a Peehetera hoki me ona wahi o waho ake; e rua nga pa.
28 also, from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, and Daberath,

29 and Jarmuth, and Engannim, with their suburbs, four cities;
Ko Iaramuta me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Enekanimi me ona wahi o waho ake; e wha nga pa.

31 and Helkath and Rehob, with their suburbs, four cities;

33 All the cities of the families of Gershon were thirteen, with their suburbs.
Ko nga pa katoa o nga Kerehoni, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou, kotahi tekau ma toru nga pa me nga wahi o waho ake.
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,
Na, ko to nga hapu o nga tama a Merari, ara o era atu o nga Riwaiti, no roto i o te iwi o Hepurona, ko Iokoneama me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Karata me ona wahi o waho ake,
35 and Dimnah and Nahalal, four cities with their suburbs;
Ko Rimina me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Naharara me ona wahi o waho ake; e wha nga pa.
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;
A, no roto i o te iwi o Reupena, ko Petere me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Iahata me ona wahi o waho ake,

Ko Hehepona me ona wahi o waho ake, ko Iatere me ona wahi o waho ake; e wha katoa nga pa.
40 All the cities of the sons of Merari, by their families and extended families, were twelve.
Ko nga pa katoa enei mo nga tama a Merari, mo tenei hapu, mo tenei hapu o ratou, ara mo era atu o nga hapu o nga Riwaiti; kotahi tekau ma rua nga pa, he mea whakarite na to ratou rota.
41 And so all the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight,
Ko nga wahi katoa o nga Riwaiti i roto i te wahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e wha tekau ma waru nga pa me nga wahi hoki o waho ake.
42 with their suburbs, each distributed by families.
I riro enei pa me nga wahi o waho ake o tenei, o tenei, a tawhio noa: na i penei enei pa katoa.
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.
Na ka homai e Ihowa ki a Iharaira te whenua katoa i oati ai ia kia homai ki o ratou matua: a ka riro a reira i a ratou, a ka nohoia e ratou.
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.
Na ka meinga ratou e Ihowa kia whai okiokinga a tawhio noa, i pera me ana katoa i oati ai ki o ratou matua: a kihai rawa tetahi tangata o o ratou hoariri katoa i tu ki to ratou aroaro; i homai e Ihowa o ratou hoariri katoa ki o ratou ringa.
45 Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.
Kihai rawa i taka tetahi kupu o nga kupu pai katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki te whare o Iharaira; i mana katoa.
