Joshua 21
1 Then came near the ancestral heads of the Levites, unto Eleazar, the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, —and unto the ancestral heads of the tribes, of the sons of Israel;
Emesịa, ndị ndu ezinaụlọ Livayị bịakwutere Elieza, onye nchụaja, na Joshua, nwa Nun, na ndịisi ebo Izrel,
2 and spake unto them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: Yahweh himself, commanded, by the hand of Moses, that there should be given unto us cities to dwell in, —with their pasture-lands for our cattle.
na Shaịlo, nʼime ala Kenan, sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu site nʼaka Mosis ka enye anyị obodo ụfọdụ ebe anyị ga-ebi, na ala ebe anụ ụlọ anyị ga na-ata ahịhịa.”
3 So the sons of Israel gave unto the Levites, out of their own inheritance, at the bidding of Yahweh, —these cities, with their pasture-lands.
Nʼihi nke a, dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị si dị, ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼihe nketa ha nye ndị Livayị obodo ụfọdụ, nyekwa ha ala ebe anụ ụlọ ha ga-anọ taa nri.
4 And, when the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites, then had the sons of Aaron the priest, from among the Levites—out of the tribe of Judah and out of the tribe of the Simeonites and out of the tribe of Benjamin—by lot, thirteen cities.
Ndị buru ụzọ nweta oke site nʼife nza bụ ikwu Kohat dịka ikwu ha si dị. E sitere nʼala ndị Juda, na Simiọn, na Benjamin nye ha obodo iri na atọ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ụmụ Kohat ndị si nʼebo Livayị, ndị bụkwa ụmụ ụmụ Erọn onye nchụaja.
5 And, the sons of Kohath that remained, had—out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim and out of the tribe of Dan and out of the half tribe of Manasseh—by lot, ten cities.
Ma ndị fọdụrụ nʼụmụ Kohat ka e nyere obodo iri site nʼobodo nke ikwu ndị ebo Ifrem, na Dan, na ọkara ebo Manase.
6 And, the sons of Gershon, had—out of families of the tribe of Issachar and out of the tribe of Asher and out of the tribe of Naphtali and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan—by lot, thirteen cities.
Ụmụ Geshọn nwetara obodo iri na atọ site nʼife nza. Obodo ha nwetara dị na Bashan. Ha sikwa nʼala ndị ikwu ebo Isaka na Asha, na Naftalị, na ọkara ebo Manase nweta oke ahụ.
7 The sons of Merari, by their families, had—out of the tribe of Reuben and out of the tribe of Gad and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
Ụmụ Merari dịka ikwu ha si dị ketara obodo iri na abụọ site nʼala ndị ebo Ruben, na Gad, na Zebụlọn.
8 So the sons of Israel gave unto the Levites these cities, with their pasture lands, —as Yahweh commanded, by the hand of Moses, by lot.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel mezuru iwu niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis site nʼikenye ndị Livayị obodo ha ga-ebi, nakwa ebe anụ ụlọ ha ga-ata nri.
9 Thus then they gave—out of the tribe of the sons of Judah and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon—these cities which are mentioned by name.
Ha sitere nʼebo Juda na Simiọn, kepụta obodo ndị a akpọrọ aha
10 And the sons of Aaron, from among the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, had them, —because, theirs, was the first lot;
kenye ndị ikwu Kohat, ndị bụ ụmụ ụmụ Erọn, bụrụkwa ụmụ ụmụ Livayị. Ọ bụ ha ka e bụ ụzọ kenye ihe nketa site nʼife nza.
11 yea there was given unto them, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, —with the pasture land thereof, round about it;
E kenyere ha obodo Kiriat Aaba, nke a na-akpọkwa Hebrọn. Obodo a dị nʼala ugwu ugwu Juda, ya na ala gbara ya gburugburu ka ọ bụrụ ebe ịta nri anụ ụlọ. (Aaba bụ nna nna ndị Anak.)
12 whereas, the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
Ma eburularị ụzọ nye Kaleb nwa Jefune obodo ukwu na obodo nta niile, na ala ubi niile dị nʼakụkụ ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ya.
13 But, unto the sons of Aaron the priest, gave they the city of refuge for the manslayer, even Hebron, with the pasture lands thereof, —Libnah also, with her pasture lands;

20 And, as for the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, which remained of the sons of Kohath, the cities of their lot were out of the tribe of Ephraim.
Ụmụ Kohat ndị fọdụrụ, ndị agbụrụ Livayị ka e kenyere obodo anọ ndị a site nʼaka ebo Ifrem.
21 So they gave unto them a city of refuge for the manslayer, even Shechem with her pasture land, in the hill country of Ephraim, —also Gezer, with her pasture land;
E sitere nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem nye ha: Shekem, nke bụ obodo mgbaba na Gaza,

40 All the cities for the sons of Merari, by their families, who remained of the families of the Levites, yea their lot was, twelve, cities.
Ọnụọgụgụ obodo niile e kenyere agbụrụ Merari bụ obodo iri na abụọ, ha bụ ndị fọdụrụ na ndị Livayị.
41 All the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight cities, with their pasture lands:
Ọnụọgụgụ obodo niile na ebe ịta nri nke anụ ụlọ e sitere nʼala ụmụ Izrel nye ndị Livayị dị iri anọ na asatọ.
42 these cities passed, each severally, with its pasture lands round about it; thus, was it with all these cities.
Obodo ọbụla nwere ala gbara ya gburugburu ebe anụ ụlọ ga-anọ kpaa nri.
43 So Yahweh gave unto Israel, all the land which he had sworn to give unto their fathers, —and they took possession thereof, and dwelt therein.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nyere ụmụ Izrel ala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ iyi inye ndị nna nna ha. Ha nwetara ya, biri nʼime ya.
44 And Yahweh gave them rest round about, according to all that he had sworn unto their fathers, —and there stood not a man before them, of all their enemies; all their enemies, did Yahweh deliver into their hand.
Onyenwe anyị nyere ha izuike nʼakụkụ niile, dịka ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye ndị nna nna ha. Ọ dịkwaghị otu nʼime ndị iro ha ọbụla guzogidere ha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nyefere ndị iro ha niile nʼaka ha.
45 There failed not a thing, out of all the good things, whereof Yahweh had spoken unto the house of Israel, —the whole, came to pass.
O nweghị otu nʼime nkwa ọma niile Onyenwe anyị kwere Izrel nke na-emezughị. O mezuru nkwa niile o kwere ha.
