Joshua 21

2 They spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, "Jehovah commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for our livestock."

I rekoše im u Šilu, u zemlji kanaanskoj: “Jahve je zapovjedio preko Mojsija da nam se dadu gradovi gdje ćemo živjeti i pašnjaci oko njih za našu stoku.”

44 Jehovah gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.

I dade im Jahve da otpočinu u miru na svim međama, kako se bijaše zakleo njihovim ocima. Nitko im od njihovih neprijatelja ne bijaše kadar odoljeti. Sve im je njihove neprijatelje predao Jahve u ruke.

45 Nothing failed of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Od svih obećanja što ih je Jahve dao domu Izraelovu nijedno ne osta neispunjeno. Sve se ispunilo.
