Joshua 21
1 THEN came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Afei, Lewifo abusua mu ntuanofo kɔɔ ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuw a aka mu ntuanofo no nkyɛn.
2 And they spake 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 suburbs thereof for our cattle.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ Silo a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no se, “Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, ɔmma yɛn nkurow na yɛntena mu ne adidibea mma yɛn anantwi.”
3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs.
Na sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no, wɔde nkurow a edidi so yi a wɔn adidibea ka ho maa Lewifo sɛ wɔn agyapade.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

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 their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
Enti Israelfo no dii Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɔde maa Mose no so. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron, nam so yiyii saa nkurow yi ne adidibea a ɛkeka ho maa Lewifo.
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,
Israelfo no de saa nkurow a ɛyɛ Yuda ne Simeon mmusuakuw no dea no
10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.

11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
Kiriat-Arba a (wɔfrɛ no Hebron), a ɛwɔ Yuda bepɔw asase so ne ɛho adidibea. (Arba yɛ Anak tete agya.)
12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
Nanso nsase ne nkuraa a atwa kurow no ho ahyia no de, wɔde maa Yefune babarima Kaleb.
13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,

34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
Enti nkurow dumien na wɔde maa Merari abusua.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
Nkurow dodow ne ɛho adidibea a na ɛwɔ Israelman mu a wɔde maa Lewifo no nyinaa yɛ aduanan awotwe.
42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
Na kurow biara wɔ adidibea da ho.
43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Enti Awurade de nsase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa Israelfo no, na wodii so nkonim, tenaa hɔ.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto 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 wonyaa ɔhome wɔ afanan nyinaa, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn atamfo biara antumi annyina wɔn anim, efisɛ Awurade boaa wɔn ma wodii wɔn atamfo so nkonim.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Bɔ pa biara a Awurade hyɛɛ Israel no nyinaa baa mu; emu bi anni huammɔ.
