Joshua 21
1 Then the princes of the families of Levi came to Eleazar the priest, and to Josue the son of Nun, and to the princes of the kindreds of all the tribes of the children of Israel:
Tsono atsogoleri a mabanja a fuko la Levi anabwera kwa wansembe Eliezara, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndi kwa atsogoleri a mabanja a mafuko onse a Aisraeli,
2 And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle.
ku Silo mʼdziko la Kanaani ndipo anati, “Yehova analamula kudzera mwa Mose kuti atipatse mizinda kuti tikhalemo, pamodzi ndi malo odyetseramo ziweto zathu.”
3 And the children of Israel gave out of their possessions according to the commandment of the Lord, cities and their suburbs.
