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.

त्यसपछि लेवी कुलका कुलनायकहरू पुजारी एलाजार, नूनका छोरा यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूभित्रका तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूको परिवारहरूका अगुवाहरूकहाँ आए ।

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."

तिनीहरूले कनानको भूमिमा शीलोमा तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा हाम्रा गाईवस्तुहरूका निम्ति खर्कसहितका बसोबास गर्न हामीलाई सहरहरू दिन आज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो ।”

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.

त्यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञाद्वारा लेवीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका खर्कहरूसहित तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकारबाट निम्‍न सहरहरू दिए ।

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.

कहातीहरूका निम्ति हालेको चिट्ठाको परिणाम यस्तो आयोः लेवीबाट जन्‍मेका हारूनका सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरूले यहूदाको कुलबाट, शिमियोनका कुलबाट र बेन्यामीनको कुलबाट दिइएका तेह्रवटा सहर पाए ।

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.

बाँकी कहातीहरूलाई एफ्राइम, दान र मनश्शेको आधा कुलबाट दश सहर दिइयो ।

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.

त्यसपछि गेर्शोनबाट जन्मेका मानिसहरूलाई चिट्ठाद्वारा इस्साखार, आशेर, नप्‍तली र बाशानमा मनश्शेको आधा कुलबाट तेह्रवटा सहर दिइयो ।

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.

मरारीका सन्तानहरूका कुल-कुलअनुसार रूबेन, गाद र जबूलूनको कुलबाट बाह्रवटा सहर पाए ।

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

त्यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा आज्ञा दिनुभएमुताबिक लेवीहरूलाई यी सहरहरू (तिनीहरूका खर्कहरूसहित) चिट्ठा हालेर दिए ।

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:

यहूदा र शिमियोनका कुलहरूबाट तिनीहरूले यहाँ नाउँद्वारा सूची बनाएअनुसार दिए ।

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.

यी सहरहरू हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई दिइयो, जो कहाती कुलका थिए र लेवी वंशबाटका थिए । किनभने पहिले हालेको चिट्ठा तिनीहरूलाई पर्‍यो ।
