Joshua 21
1 And the heads of the families of the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the [son] of Naue, and to the heads of families of the tribes of Israel.
Basi viongozi wa jamaa ya Walawi, wakamwendea kuhani Eleazari, Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na viongozi wa jamaa nyingine za makabila ya Israeli
2 And they spoke to them in Selo in the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle.
huko Shilo katika Kanaani na kuwaambia, “Bwana aliamuru kupitia Mose kuwa mtupe miji ya kuishi yenye sehemu za malisho kwa mifugo yetu.”
3 So the children of Israel gave to the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities and the country round.
Hivyo kama vile Bwana alivyoamuru, Waisraeli wakawapa Walawi miji ifuatayo pamoja na sehemu zake za malisho kutoka urithi wao wenyewe.

45 There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
Hakuna hata mojawapo ya ahadi nzuri ya Bwana kwa nyumba ya Israeli ambayo haikutimia; kila moja ilitimia.
