Bangʼe jotelo mag anywola mag dhout jo-Lawi nobiro ir Eliazar jadolo, Joshua wuod Nun, kod jotelo mag dhout anywola mamoko mag Israel,
2 They spoke to them at Shiloh in Canaan, saying, “The Lord gave instructions through Moses to give us towns to live in, and pastures for our flocks.”
kama iluongo ni Shilo ei Kanaan mi giwachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nochiko kokalo kuom Musa ni mondo imiwa dalano mondo wadagie, kod kuonde ma jambwa nyalo kwayoe.”
3 So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
Omiyo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko, jo-Israel nomiyo jo-Lawi mier matindogi kod kuonde kwath koa kuom pokgi giwegi.

8 So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.
Omiyo jo-Israel nopogo jo-Lawi mier matindogi kod kuonde kwath, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko kokalo kuom Musa.
9 They gave from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon the following towns, specifically named,

42 Each of these towns had pastures around them.
Mier matindogi moro ka moro ne nigi legegi mag kwath e alworagi, kendo ma ne en adiera ne mier matindogi duto.
43 And so the Lord gave to the Israelites all the land he had promised their ancestors. They took possession of it and settled there.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo jo-Israel pinje duto mane osingore ni enomi kweregi, kendo ne gikawogi mi gidakie.
44 The Lord gave them peace on every side as he had promised their ancestors. Not a single one of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord had handed their enemies over to them to defeat.
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi kwe, mana kaka ne osesingore ni enomi kweregi. Onge wasikgi moro amora mane omonjogi; kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo wasikgi duto e lwetgi.
45 Not a single one of the good things the Lord promised Israel had failed; everything had come true.
Onge singruok moro amora mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo jo-Israel mane ok otimonegi; moro ka moro nochopo kaka nowacho.
