Joshua 21
1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Afei, Lewifoɔ abusua mu ntuanofoɔ kɔɔ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuo a aka mu ntuanofoɔ nkyɛn.
2 And they spoke to 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 suburbs thereof for our cattle.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ Silo a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase sɛ, “Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, ɔmma yɛn nkuro na yɛntena mu ne adidibea mma yɛn anantwie.”

42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
Na kuro biara wɔ adidibea da ho.
43 And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelled therein.
Enti, Awurade de nsase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa Israelfoɔ no, na wɔdii so nkonim, tenaa hɔ.
44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Na Awurade ma wɔnyaa ahomeɛ wɔ afanan nyinaa, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn atamfoɔ biara antumi annyina wɔn anim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade boaa wɔn ma wɔdii wɔn atamfoɔ so nkonim.
45 There failed not anything of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Bɔhyɛ pa biara a Awurade hyɛɛ Israel no nyinaa baa mu.
