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;

Awo abakulira ennyumba mu kika ky’Abaleevi ne bajja eri Eriyazaali kabona n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’eri abakulu b’ennyumba z’abaana ba Isirayiri

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.

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 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.

Kale, nga Mukama bwe yalagira, Abayisirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino n’amalundiro nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.

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.

Akalulu ne kagwa ku nda ez’Abakokasi. Bwe batyo Abaleevi abaali bava mu Alooni kabona ne bafuna ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu bika bya Yuda, ne Simyoni ne Benyamini.

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.

Abakokasi abaali basigaddewo ne bafuna ebibuga kkumi okuva mu nnyumba, z’ebika bya Efulayimu, ne Ddaani n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya 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.

N’abaana ba Gerusoni ne baweebwa ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu nnyumba zino: eya Isakaali, n’eya Aseri, n’eya Nafutaali, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase mu Basani.

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.

Abaana ba Merali ne baweebwa ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, ebibuga kkumi na bibiri nga biva mu bika bino: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Zebbulooni.

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.

Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino, n’amalundiro gaabwe nga Mukama bwe yali alagidde okuyita mu Musa.

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.

Mu bika bya Yuda ne Simyoni mwavaamu ebibuga bino:

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;

bye byaweebwa abaana ba Alooni mu nnyumba z’Abakokasi mu kika ky’Abaleevi kubanga akalulu be kasooka okugwako.

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;

Ne babawa Kiriasualuba (Aluba ye yali kitaawe wa Anaki) era ekimanyiddwa nga Kebbulooni mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Yuda n’ebyalo byakyo ebikyetoolodde.

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

Naye ennimiro zaakyo n’ebibuga byakyo ne babiwa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune abitwale ng’omugabo gwe.

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;

Abantu abaava mu Alooni eyali kabona ne baweebwa Kebbulooni, ebibuga ebyokwekwekamu abo ababa basse bantu bannaabwe, n’amalundiro gaabyo ne Libuna n’amalundiro gaakyo,

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

15 and Holon, with her pasture land, and Debir, with her pasture land;

16 and Ain, with her pasture land, and Juttah, with her pasture land, Beth-shemesh, with her pasture land, —nine cities, out of these two tribes.

ne Ayini n’amalundiro gaakyo ne Yuta n’amalundiro gaakyo ebibuga mwenda mu bika ebibiri.

17 And, out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon, with her pasture land, —Geba, with her pasture land;

Ne mu kika kya Benyamini ne baweebwa Gibyoni, ne Geba

18 Anathoth, with her pasture land, and Almon, with her pasture land, —four cities.

ne Anasosi n’amalundiro gaakyo, ne Alumoni n’amalundiro gaakyo ne Alumoni n’amalundiro gaakyo bye bibuga bina.

19 All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities, with their pasture lands.

Ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Alooni bakabona byali ebibuga kkumi na bisatu n’amalundiro gaabyo.

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.

Eri Abakokasi abalala abaali bava mu nnyumba z’Abakokasi ez’Abaleevi ebibuga ebyabaweebwa byava mu kika kya Efulayimu.

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;

N’aweebwa Sekemu n’amalundiro gaakyo mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu ekibuga eky’okwekwekamu oyo asse, ne Gezeri n’amalundiro gaakyo,

22 and Kibzaim, with her pasture land, and Beth-horon, with her pasture land, —four cities.

25 And, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach, with her pasture land, and Gath-rimmon, with her pasture land, —two cities.

Ne mu kitundu eky’ekika kya Manase, Taanaki, n’amalundiro gaakyo, ne Gasulimmoni n’amalundiro gaakyo, bye bibuga bibiri.

26 All the cities, were ten, with their pasture lands: for the families of the sons of Kohath which remained.

Ebibuga byonna eby’ennyumba z’abaana ba Kokasi abalala byali kkumi n’amalundiro gaabyo.

27 And, the sons of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, had, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, a city of refuge for the manslayer, even Golan in Bashan, with her pasture land, and Be-eshterah, with her pasture land, —two cities.

N’eri abaana ba Gerusoni ekimu ku kika ky’Abaleevi, ekitundu eky’ekika kya Manase, Golani mu Basani n’amalundiro gaakyo, ekibuga eky’okwekwekangamu oyo asse nga tagenderedde, ne Beesutera n’amalundiro gaakyo, ebibuga bibiri.

28 And, out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, with her pasture land, —Daberath, with her pasture land;

32 And, out of the tribe of Naphtali, a city of refuge for the manslayer—even Kedesh in Galilee, with her pasture land, and Hammoth-dor, with her pasture land, and Kartan, with her pasture land, —three cities.

Ne mu kika kya Nafutaali, Kadesi mu Ggaliraaya n’amalundiro gaakyo, ebibuga ebyokwekwekamu, ne Kammasudoli n’amalundiro gaakyo, ne Kalutani n’amalundiro gaakyo, bye bibuga bisatu.

33 All, the cities of the Gershonites, by their families, were thirteen cities, with their pasture lands.

Ebibuga byonna eby’Abagerusoni ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, byali ebibuga kkumi na bisatu n’amalundiro gaabyo.

34 And, unto the families of the sons of Merari, the Levites that remained, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam, with her pasture land, —Kartah, with her pasture land;

Abaleevi abaali basigaddewo abaana ba Merali ne baweebwa okuva mu kika kya Zebbulooni, Yokuneamu n’amalundiro gaakyo, ne Kaluta n’amalundiro gaakyo,

38 And, out of the tribe of Gad, a city of refuge for the manslayer—even Ramoth in Gilead, with her pasture land, —and Mahanaim, with her pasture land;

Ne mu kika kya Gaadi, Lamosi mu Gireyaali n’amalundiro gaakyo, ekibuga ekyokwekwekamu oyo asse, ne Makanayimu n’amalundiro gaakyo.

39 Heshbon, with her pasture land, Jazer, with her pasture land, —in all, four cities.

Kesuboni n’amalundiro gaakyo, Yazeri n’amalundiro gaakyo awamu bye bibuga bina.

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.

Ebyo byonna byali by’abaana ba Merali be Baleevi, abaali basigalidde ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, bye bibuga kkumi na bibiri byonna awamu.

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:

Ebibuga byonna ebyali ku ttaka ery’abaana ba Isirayiri byali amakumi ana mu munaana awamu n’ebyalo byabyo ebibiriraanye.

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

Buli kimu ku bibuga bino kyalina ebyalo ebikyetoolodde; byonna ebibuga bwe byali.

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.

Bw’atyo Mukama n’awa Isirayiri ettaka lyonna nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, era bwe baamala okulifuna ne babeera omwo.

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.

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 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.

Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.
