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."
e Siiro mu Kanani ne babagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira okuyita mu Musa nti tuweebwe ebibuga eby’okubeeramu era n’amalundiro g’ebisibo byaffe.”
3 The children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of YHWH, these cities with their suburbs.

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.
Mukama n’abawa emirembe ne bawummula ku buli luuyi nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, tewali mulabe waabwe n’omu gwe bataawangula kubanga Mukama yali agabudde abalabe baabwe mu mukono gwabwe.
45 Nothing failed of any good thing which YHWH had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.
