Joshua 21
1 The leaders of the tribe of Levi approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the Israelite tribes.
Chèf fanmi Levi yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak chèf tout lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
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.”
Lè sa a, tout moun sa yo te reyini lavil Silo, nan peyi Kanaran. Chèf fanmi Levi yo di yo: -Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz pou nou. Li te bay lòd pou yo te ban nou lavil pou nou rete ak savann pou bèt nou yo jwenn manje.
3 So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo chwazi kèk lavil ak tout savann pou bèt nan pwòp pòsyon tè pa yo, yo bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.
4 The lot was cast for the families of the Kothaites. These Levites, descendants of Aaron, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
Yo tire osò. Premye moun ki jwenn pa yo se te moun fanmi Keyat yo. Yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun branch fanmi Jida, branch fanmi Simeyon ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo, yo bay moun Keyat yo. Moun sa yo se ras fanmi Arawon, prèt la, yo ye.
5 The remaining families of the descendants of Kothah were allotted ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Apre sa, yo pran dis lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim, branch fanmi Dann ansanm ak mwatye branch fanmi Manase yo, yo separe bay lòt pitit Keyat yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.

8 So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.
Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo te tire osò pou Seyè a te ka fè yo konnen ki lavil ak tout savann pou yo bay moun Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pou yo fè a.
