Joshua 21

1 Then came near the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel;

Hangafoonni maatii Lewwotaa Eleʼaazaar lubichatti, Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunittii fi hangafoota maatiiwwan gosoota Israaʼel kaanitti dhiʼaatanii

2 and they spoke unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: 'The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the open land thereabout for our cattle.'

Shiiloo Kanaʼaan keessatti argamtu sana keessatti, “Waaqayyo akka isin magaalaa nu keessa jiraannu lafa tikaa kan horii keenyaaf taʼu wajjin nuu kennitan karaa Museetiin ajajee ture” jedhaniin.

3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of the LORD, these cities with the open land about them.

Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma Waaqayyo ajajetti dhaala ofii isaanii keessaa magaalaawwan kanneenii fi lafa tikaa Lewwotaaf kennan.

4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites; and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

Ixaan jalqabaa gosa Qohaatiif balbala balbalaan baʼe. Lewwota sanyii Aroon lubichaatiifis gosa Yihuudaa, gosa Simiʼoonii fi gosa Beniyaam keessaa magaalaawwan kudha sadii ixaadhaan argatan.

5 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with the open land about them, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajaje sanatti magaalaawwan kanneenii fi lafa tikaa ixaadhaan Lewwotaaf kennan.

9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name.

Gosa Yihuudaa fi gosa Simiʼoon irraa magaalaawwan kanneen maqaa maqaadhaan qoodan;

10 And they were for the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.

11 And they gave them Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak — the same is Hebron — in the hill-country of Judah, with the open land round about it.

Isaanis Kiriyaati Arbaaq jechuunis Kebroon ishee biyya gaaraa Yihuudaa keessaa sana lafa tikaa naannoo ishee wajjin kennaniif. Arbaaq abbaa Anaaq ture.

12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

Lafa qotiisaa fi gandoota naannoo magaalattii jiran garuu Kaaleb ilma Yefuneetiif handhuuraa godhanii kennan.

13 And unto the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with the open land about it, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with the open land about it;

20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the children of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

21 And they gave them Shechem with the open land about it in the hill-country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with the open land about it;

26 All the cities of the families of the rest of the children of Kohath were ten with the open land about them.

33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with the open land about them.

34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with the open land about it, and Kartah with the open land about it;

40 All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.

Lewwota hafan warra balbala Meraarii taʼaniif walumaa galatti magaalaawwan kudha lamatu ixaadhaan kenname.

41 All the cities of the Levites — forty and eight cities with the open land about them — shall be in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel,

Magaalaawwan Lewwotaa kanneen biyya Israaʼeloonni dhuunfatan keessatti argaman lafa tikaa wajjin walumaa galatti afurtamii saddeet turan.

42 even these cities, every one with the open land round about it; thus it shall be with all these cities.

Tokkoon tokkoon magaalaawwan kanneenii naannoo isaaniitii lafa tikaa qabu turan; magaalaawwan hundinuu akkanuma.

43 So the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which He swore to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

Kanaafuu Waaqayyo biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakate hunda saba Israaʼeliif kenne; isaanis biyya sana qabatanii achi jiraatan.

44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that He swore unto their fathers; and there stood not a man of all their enemies against them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

Waaqayyo akkuma abbootii isaaniitiif kakate sana karaa hundaan boqonnaa isaanii kenne. Diinni isaanii tokko iyyuu fuula isaanii dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenye; Waaqayyo diinota isaanii hunda dabarsee harka isaaniitti kenne.

45 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Waadaa gaarii Waaqayyo mana Israaʼeliif gale keessaa tokko iyyuu hin hafne; hundinuu guutameera.
