Joshua 21

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

Chèf fanmi Levi yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak chèf tout lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.

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."

Lè sa a, tout moun sa yo te reyini lavil Silo, nan peyi Kanaran. Chèf fanmi Levi yo di yo: -Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz pou nou. Li te bay lòd pou yo te ban nou lavil pou nou rete ak savann pou bèt nou yo jwenn manje.

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.

Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo chwazi kèk lavil ak tout savann pou bèt nan pwòp pòsyon tè pa yo, yo bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.

4 The lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. The descendants of Aaron the cohen, 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.

Yo tire osò. Premye moun ki jwenn pa yo se te moun fanmi Keyat yo. Yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun branch fanmi Jida, branch fanmi Simeyon ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo, yo bay moun Keyat yo. Moun sa yo se ras fanmi Arawon, prèt la, yo ye.
