Joshua 21

1 Then the heads of ancestral houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

Pada suatu hari para kepala keluarga dalam suku Lewi pergi ke Silo di negeri Kanaan, dan menghadap Imam Eleazar, Yosua anak Nun, dan para kepala keluarga seluruh suku-suku bangsa Israel. Mereka berkata, "Melalui Musa, TUHAN sudah memerintahkan supaya kepada kami, orang-orang Lewi, diberi kota-kota untuk tempat tinggal kami dan tanah-tanah padang di sekitar kota-kota itu untuk ternak kami."

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

3 The children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of the LORD, these cities with their suburbs.

Maka orang Israel mengikuti perintah TUHAN. Dari tanah milik mereka sendiri, mereka memberikan kepada orang Lewi kota-kota tertentu dengan tanah-tanah padangnya.

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

Yang pertama-tama menerima kota-kotanya adalah keluarga-keluarga dari kaum Kehat dalam suku Lewi. Keluarga-keluarga keturunan Imam Harun diberikan tiga belas kota dari wilayah suku Yehuda, Simeon dan Benyamin.

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

Keluarga-keluarga lainnya dari kaum Kehat diberi sepuluh kota dari wilayah suku Efraim, suku Dan serta suku Manasye yang di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan.

6 The descendants of Gershon had thirteen cities by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, out of the tribe of Asher, out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

Kaum Gerson mendapat tiga belas kota dari wilayah suku Isakhar, Asyer, Naftali dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan.

7 The descendants of Merari according to their families had twelve cities by lot out of the tribe of Reuben, out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun.

Keluarga-keluarga dari kaum Merari mendapat dua belas kota dari wilayah suku Ruben, Gad dan Zebulon.

8 The children of Israel gave these cities with their suburbs by lot to the Levites, as the LORD commanded by Moses.

Demikianlah orang Israel membagi-bagikan kota-kota tersebut dengan tanah-tanah padangnya melalui undian kepada orang Lewi, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN melalui Musa.

9 They gave out of the tribe of the descendants of Judah, and out of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, these cities which are mentioned by name:

Dari kaum Kehat dalam suku Lewi, imam-imam keturunan Harunlah yang pertama-tama menerima kota-kotanya; mereka diberi tiga belas kota dengan tanah-tanah padangnya. Dari suku Yehuda dan Simeon, mereka menerima sembilan kota, yaitu: Libna, Yatir, Estemoa, Holon, Debir, Ain, Yuta, Bet-Semes dan Arba, yang dinamakan menurut nama ayah Enak.

Dari suku Benyamin mereka menerima empat kota, yaitu: Gibeon, Geba, Anatot dan Almon.

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

11 They gave them Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (that is, Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its suburbs around it.

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

41 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs.

Jadi dari tanah-tanah yang dimiliki seluruh bangsa Israel ada sejumlah empat puluh delapan kota dengan tanah-tanah padang di sekitarnya yang diberikan kepada orang-orang Lewi.

42 Each of these cities included their suburbs around them. It was this way with all these cities.

43 So the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.

Demikianlah TUHAN memberikan kepada umat Israel seluruh tanah yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Setelah menduduki negeri itu, umat Israel menetap di sana.

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

Maka sesuai dengan apa yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyang mereka, negeri itu aman karena dilindungi TUHAN. Musuh-musuh mereka tidak satu pun yang dapat melawan mereka, sebab TUHAN memberi kemenangan kepada orang Israel atas semua musuh mereka.

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

TUHAN menepati setiap janji-Nya kepada umat Israel; tidak satu pun yang tidak ditepati-Nya.
