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:
Kemudian para pemimpin suku Lewi datang kepada Imam Besar Eleazar, Yosua, dan para pemimpin suku-suku Israel lainnya di Silo, di negeri Kanaan. Kata mereka, “TUHAN sudah memerintahkan Musa untuk memberikan kota-kota kepada kami sebagai tempat tinggal, dan padang rumput untuk ternak kami.”
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.
3 And the children of Israel gave out of their possessions according to the commandment of the Lord, cities and their suburbs.
Maka orang Israel memberikan kota-kota dan padang rumput dari wilayah mereka kepada suku Lewi, sesuai perintah TUHAN.
4 And the lot came out for the family of Caath of the children of Aaron the priest out of the tribes of Juda, and of Simeon, and of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
Undian pembagian tanah pertama diberikan kepada marga Kehat dalam suku Lewi. Keturunan Imam Harun mendapat tiga belas kota dari suku Yehuda, Simeon, dan Benyamin.
5 And to the rest of the children of Caath, that is, to the Levites, who remained, out of the tribes of Ephraim, and of Dan, and the half tribe of Manasses, ten cities.
Keturunan marga Kehat lainnya mendapat sepuluh kota dari suku Efraim, suku Dan, dan separuh suku Manasye di barat.

Marga Merari menerima dua belas kota dari suku Ruben, Gad, dan Zebulon.
8 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, giving to every one by lot.
Demikianlah orang Israel memberikan kota-kota dan padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak kepada orang-orang Lewi dengan cara undian, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
9 Of the tribes of the children of Juda and of Simeon Josue gave cities: whose names are these,

Jadi, suku Lewi menerima empat puluh delapan kota di tengah-tengah suku-suku Israel lainnya. Setiap kota dikelilingi oleh padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak. Padang-padang rumput itu juga diberikan kepada orang-orang Lewi.
42 With their suburbs, each distributed by the families.
43 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
Dengan demikian, TUHAN memberikan kepada bangsa Israel seluruh negeri, seperti yang sudah Dia janjikan dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Bangsa Israel menguasai negeri itu serta menetap di sana.
44 And he gave them peace from all nations round about: and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under their dominion.
TUHAN memberi mereka ketenangan, sesuai dengan sumpah-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka. Tidak ada satu pun musuh yang bisa melawan mereka. TUHAN menyerahkan semua musuh ke dalam tangan mereka.
45 Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.
Tiada satu pun janji TUHAN yang tidak digenapi kepada bangsa Israel. Dia menepati semua janji-Nya.
