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;

Bakonzi ya mabota ya bakitani ya Levi bayaki epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe epai ya bakonzi ya bituka ya mabota mosusu ya Isalaele,

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 Silo, kati na mokili ya Kanana, mpo na koloba na bango: « Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize ete bopesa biso bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele na yango mpo na bibwele na biso. »

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.

Boye, kolanda mitindo ya Yawe, bana ya Isalaele balongolaki kati na libula na bango ndambo ya bingumba elongo na mabele na yango, mpe bapesaki yango epai ya bakitani ya Levi.

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.

Zeke ya liboso ekweyaki epai ya etuka ya Keati. Bato ya Levi oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron bazwaki, na nzela ya zeke, bingumba zomi na misato kati na libota ya Yuda, ya Simeoni mpe ya Benjame.

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.

Bakitani ya Keati oyo batikalaki bazwaki, na nzela ya zeke, bingumba zomi kati na mabele ya libota ya Efrayimi, ya Dani mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya 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.

Bakitani ya Gerishoni bazwaki, na nzela ya zeke, bingumba zomi na misato kati na mabele ya libota ya Isakari, ya Aseri, ya Nefitali mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, kati na Bashani.

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.

Bakitani ya Merari, kolanda bituka na bango, bazwaki bingumba zomi na mibale kati na mabele ya libota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe ya Zabuloni.

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.

Boye, ndenge Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize, bana ya Isalaele babetaki zeke mpo na kopesa bingumba wana elongo na mabele na yango epai ya bakitani ya Levi.

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.

Kati na mabota ya Yuda mpe ya Simeoni, babetaki zeke mpo na kopesa bingumba oyo, kolanda bakombo na yango,

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;

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;

Bapesaki bango Kiriati-Ariba oyo ezali Ebron, elongo na mabele na yango, kati na mokili ya bangomba ya Yuda. (Ariba azalaki koko ya Anaki);

12 whereas, the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.

kasi bapesaki bilanga ya engumba mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, lokola libula epai ya Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune.

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;

Epai ya bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, bapesaki Ebron lokola engumba ya kokimela mpo na moto oyo atangami mobomi, Libina,

14 and Jattir with her pasture land, and Eshtemoa with her pasture land;

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.

Babetaki zeke mpo na kopesa epai ya bakitani mosusu ya Levi, oyo bazali ya bituka ya Keati, moko kati na bana mibali ya Levi, bingumba oyo, kati na mabele ya libota ya Efrayimi.

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.

Bingumba nyonso oyo babetelaki zeke mpo na kopesa epai ya bakitani ya etuka ya Merari, bakitani ya Levi oyo batikalaki, ezalaki zomi na mibale.

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:

Bingumba nyonso ya bakitani ya Levi kati na mabele oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele ezalaki tuku minei na mwambe, elongo na mabele na yango.

42 these cities passed, each severally, with its pasture lands round about it; thus, was it with all these cities.

Engumba moko na moko ezingelamaki na mabele na yango; ezalaki penza bongo mpo na bingumba yango nyonso.

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.

Boye, Yawe apesaki na Isalaele mokili nyonso oyo alakaki kopesa epai ya batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi. Bana ya Isalaele bazwaki yango mpe bakomaki kovanda kuna.

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.

Yawe apesaki bango kimia na bangambo nyonso, kolanda nyonso oyo alakaki batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi. Monguna moko te kati na banguna na bango alongaki lisusu kotelemela bango. Yawe akabaki banguna na bango nyonso na maboko na bango.

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.

Kati na bilaka nyonso ya kitoko oyo Yawe apesaki na libota ya Isalaele, moko te etikalaki kokweya; solo, nyonso ekokisamaki.
