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.

١ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ رُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ إِلَى أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونَ وَإِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ آبَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

٢ وَكَلَّمُوهُمْ فِي شِيلُوهَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى أَنْ نُعْطَى مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا لِبَهَائِمِنَا».

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

٣ فَأَعْطَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِمْ، حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنَ مَعَ مَسَارِحهَا.

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.

٤ فَخَرَجَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِعَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ. فَكَانَ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ ثَلَاثَ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بَنْيَامِينَ.

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.

٥ وَلِبَنِي قَهَاتَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ عَشَرُ مُدُنٍ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ وَمِنْ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى.

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.

٦ وَلِبَنِي جَرْشُونَ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي بَاشَانَ.

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.

٧ وَلِبَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمِ ٱثْنَتَا عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ.

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

٨ فَأَعْطَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنَ وَمَسَارِحِهَا بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى.

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:

٩ وَأَعْطَوْا مِنْ سِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بَنِي شِمْعُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْمُسَمَّاةَ بِأَسْمَائِهَا،

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.

١٠ فَكَانَتْ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقُرْعَةَ ٱلْأُولَى كَانَتْ لَهُمْ:

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.

١١ وَأَعْطَوْهُمْ قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ أَبِي عَنَاقٍ،هِيَ حَبْرُونَ، فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا مَعَ مَسْرَحِهَا حَوَالَيْهَا.

12 But they gave the fields of the city and its villages to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

١٢ وَأَمَّا حَقْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَضِيَاعُهَا فَأَعْطَوْهَا لِكَالَبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ مُلْكًا لَهُ.

20 The families of the descendants of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the descendants of Kohath, had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

٢٠ وَأَمَّا عَشَائِرُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ، ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مِنْ بَنِي قَهَاتَ، فَكَانَتْ مُدُنُ قُرْعَتِهِمْ مِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ:

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.

٤٠ فَجَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي لِبَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. وَكَانَتْ قُرْعَتُهُمُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً.

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.

٤١ جَمِيعُ مُدُنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ فِي وَسَطِ مُلْكِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَمَانٍ وَأَرْبَعُونَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا.

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

٤٢ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنُ مَدِينَةً مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا حَوَالَيْهَا. هَكَذَا لِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنِ.

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

٤٣ فَأَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ فَٱمْتَلَكُوهَا وَسَكَنُوا بِهَا.

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

٤٤ فَأَرَاحَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ حَوَالَيْهِمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَقِفْ قُدَّامَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، بَلْ دَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ.

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

٤٥ لَمْ تَسْقُطْ كَلِمَةٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلصَّالِحِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلِ ٱلْكُلُّ صَارَ.
