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.
Zvino vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba avaRevhi vakaenda kumuprista Ereazari, nokuna Joshua mwanakomana waNuni, nokuvakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba amarudzi avana vaIsraeri.
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.”
PaShiro panyika yeKenani vakati kwavari, “Jehovha akarayira kubudikidza naMozisi kuti utipe maguta atingagara namafuro emombe dzedu.”
3 So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
Saka sokurayira kwakanga kwaita Jehovha, vaIsraeri vakapa vaRevhi panhaka dzavo maguta anotevera namafuro kubva panhaka yavo:
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.

8 So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.
Saka vaIsraeri vakagovera maguta aya namafuro awo, nemijenya kuvaRevhi sezvakanga zvarayirwa naJehovha kubudikidza naMozisi.
9 They gave from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon the following towns, specifically named,

10 to the families of the Kothaites, descendants of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, since the first lot fell to them:

12 But the more distant fields from the town and the villages had been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh to own.

Maguta ose akanga agoverwa dzimba dzavaMerari, avo vakanga vari vaRevhi vakasara, akanga ari gumi namaviri.
41 The Levites received a total of forty-eight towns and pastures within the land of the Israelites.
Maguta avaRevhi munyika yaiva yavaIsraeri aiva makumi mana namasere pamwe chete namafuro awo.
42 Each of these towns had pastures around them.
Rimwe nerimwe ramaguta aya rakanga rakapoteredzwa namafuro; ndizvo zvakanga zvakaita maguta ose aya.
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.
Saka Jehovha akapa vaIsraeri nyika yose yaakanga apika kuti achapa madzitateguru avo, ikava yavo vakagara mairi.
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.
Jehovha akavapa zororo kumativi ose, sezvaakanga apikira madzitateguru avo. Hapana kana muvengi wavo mumwe chete akamira pamberi pavo; Jehovha akaisa vavengi vavo vose mumaoko mavo.
45 Not a single one of the good things the Lord promised Israel had failed; everything had come true.
Hakuna kana chinhu chimwe chete zvacho chezvinhu zvakanaka zvakanga zvavimbiswa naJehovha kuimba yaIsraeri chakakona; zvose zvakazadziswa.
