< Joshua 21 >

1 Then the chief fathers of the Levites drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers 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 they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded through Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and their suburbs 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 gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the word of Jehovah, these cities and their suburbs.
Kale, nga Mukama bwe yalagira, Abayisirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino n’amalundiro nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.
4 And the lot came forth for the families of the Kohathites. And the children of Aaron the priest, of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

Naye ennimiro zaakyo n’ebibuga byakyo ne babiwa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune abitwale ng’omugabo gwe.
13 And they gave to the children of Aaron the priest the city of refuge for the slayer, Hebron and its suburbs; and Libnah and its suburbs,

41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities and their suburbs.

42 Each one of these cities had its suburbs round about it: thus were all these cities.
Buli kimu ku bibuga bino kyalina ebyalo ebikyetoolodde; byonna ebibuga bwe byali.
43 And Jehovah gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give unto their fathers; and they took possession of it, and dwelt in it.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’awa Isirayiri ettaka lyonna nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, era bwe baamala okulifuna ne babeera omwo.
44 And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he had sworn unto their fathers; and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them: Jehovah gave all their enemies into their hand.
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 There failed nothing of all the good things that Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel: all came to pass.
Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.
