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.

Kemudian para pemimpin suku Lewi datang kepada Imam Besar Eleazar, Yosua, dan para pemimpin suku-suku Israel lainnya di Silo, di negeri Kanaan. Kata mereka, “TUHAN sudah memerintahkan Musa untuk memberikan kota-kota kepada kami sebagai tempat tinggal, dan padang rumput 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 memberikan kota-kota dan padang rumput dari wilayah mereka kepada suku Lewi, sesuai perintah TUHAN.

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.

Undian pembagian tanah pertama diberikan kepada marga Kehat dalam suku Lewi. Keturunan Imam Harun mendapat tiga belas kota dari 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.

Keturunan marga Kehat lainnya mendapat sepuluh kota dari suku Efraim, suku Dan, dan separuh suku Manasye di barat.

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.

Marga Gerson menerima tiga belas kota dari suku Isakar, suku Asyer, suku Naftali, dan separuh suku Manasye di timur.

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.

Marga Merari menerima dua belas kota dari 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 memberikan kota-kota dan padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak kepada orang-orang Lewi dengan cara undian, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada 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:

Keturunan Imam Harun dari marga Kehat menerima undian yang pertama. Bangsa Israel memberikan kepada mereka tiga belas kota serta padang-padang rumput di sekitarnya untuk menggembalakan ternak: sembilan kota dari suku Yehuda dan Simeon, empat kota dari suku Benyamin. Kota-kota dari suku Yehuda dan Simeon adalah Hebron, Libna, Yatir, Estemoa, Holon, Debir, Ain, Yutah, dan Bet Semes. Kota Hebron, yang terletak di pegunungan suku Yehuda, adalah kota perlindungan bagi orang-orang yang tidak sengaja membunuh. Kota ini juga disebut Kiryat Arba. Arba adalah nenek moyang raksasa Anakim. Keturunan Imam Harun diberi padang rumput di sekeliling kota itu, tetapi tidak termasuk tanah ladang kota dan desa-desa di sekitarnya, karena daerah itu sudah diberikan kepada Kaleb. Kota-kota dari suku Benyamin adalah 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.

27 They gave to the descendants of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manasseh Golan in Bashan with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be Eshterah with its suburbs; two cities.

Keturunan marga Gerson dalam suku Lewi menerima tiga belas kota dan padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak: dua kota dari separuh suku Manasye, empat kota dari suku Isakar, empat kota dari suku Asyer, dan tiga kota dari suku Naftali. Kota-kota dari separuh suku Manasye adalah Golan di Basan, yang adalah kota perlindungan bagi orang yang tidak sengaja membunuh, dan Bestera. Kota-kota dari suku Isakar adalah Kison, Daberat, Yarmut, dan En Ganim. Kota-kota dari suku Asyer adalah Misal, Abdon, Helkat, dan Rehob.

38 Out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs,

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, suku Lewi menerima empat puluh delapan kota di tengah-tengah suku-suku Israel lainnya. Setiap kota dikelilingi oleh padang-padang rumput untuk menggembalakan ternak. Padang-padang rumput itu juga 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.

Dengan demikian, TUHAN memberikan kepada bangsa Israel seluruh negeri, seperti yang sudah Dia janjikan dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka. Bangsa Israel menguasai negeri itu serta 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.

TUHAN memberi mereka ketenangan, sesuai dengan sumpah-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka. Tidak ada satu pun musuh yang bisa melawan mereka. TUHAN menyerahkan semua musuh ke dalam tangan mereka.

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

Tiada satu pun janji TUHAN yang tidak digenapi kepada bangsa Israel. Dia menepati semua janji-Nya.
