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.

Pea naʻe toki ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe mātuʻa ʻoe kau Livai kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli;

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."

Pea naʻa nau lea kiate kinautolu ʻi Sailo ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi kolo ke mau nofo ai, mo e ngaahi potu takatakai ʻi ai ki heʻemau fanga manu.”

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

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he kau Livai mei honau tofiʻa, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻae ngaahi kolo ni mo honau ngaahi potu takatakai.

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.

Naʻe tuʻu ʻae ngaahi kolo ni taki taha mo honau tuaʻā kolo naʻe takatakai: naʻe pehē pe ʻae ngaahi kolo ni kotoa pē.

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

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli ʻae fonua kotoa pē naʻa ne fuakava ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea naʻa nau maʻu ia, ʻo nofo ai.

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.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae mālōlō ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene fuakava ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē naʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi honau ʻao: naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki honau nima.

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

Naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he meʻa lelei kotoa pē naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli; naʻe hoko kotoa pē.
