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;

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Pea naʻe tō mai ʻae talotalo ki he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate: pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kau Livai, naʻe maʻu ʻae tofiʻa ʻi he talotalo mei he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani, ʻae kolo ʻe hongofulu ma tolu.

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.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe fānau ʻa Kohate naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he talotalo ʻae tofiʻa mei he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Tani, pea mei he vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻae kolo ʻe hongofulu.

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.

Pea ko e fānau ʻa Kesoni naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he talotalo ʻae tofiʻa mei he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsaka, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAseli, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali, pea mei hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻi Pesani, ʻae kolo ʻe hongofulu ma tolu.

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.

Ko e fānau ʻa Melali ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga naʻa nau maʻu mei he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kata, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Sepuloni, ʻae kolo ʻe hongofulu ma ua.

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.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻi he talotalo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kolo ni mo honau ngaahi potu takatakai ki he kau Livai, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

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.

Pea naʻa nau foaki mei he faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta, pea mei he faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Simione, ʻae ngaahi kolo ni ʻaia ʻoku lau honau hingoa,

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;

‌ʻAia naʻe maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻe ʻElone, he naʻa nau ʻoe kau Kohate, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Livai: he ko e ʻuluaki tufakanga naʻe ʻonautolu.

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;

Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae kolo ʻo ʻAlipa ko e tamai ʻa ʻAnaki, ʻae kolo ko ia ko Hepeloni, ʻi he fonua moʻunga ʻo Siuta, mo hono veʻe kolo ʻoku tuʻu takatakai.

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

Ka ko e ngaahi ngoue ʻoe kolo, mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻo ia, naʻa nau foaki kia Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune ko e tofiʻa moʻona.

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;

naʻe pehē pe ʻenau foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Hepeloni mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, ko e kolo hūfanga ki he tāmate faainoa: mo Lipina mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia,

Ko ʻAnatoti mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, mo ʻAlimoni mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia; ko e kolo ʻe fā.

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

Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻElone, ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma tolu mo honau ngaahi tuaʻā kolo.

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.

Pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Kohate, ko e kau Livai naʻe toe ʻi he fānau ʻa Kohate, naʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi kolo ko honau tofiʻa mei he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi.

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;

He naʻa nau foaki kiate kinautolu ʻa Sikemi mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ko e kolo hūfanga ki he tāmate faainoa; mo Kesa mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia,

Pea mei hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko Tenaki mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, mo Kata Limoni mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia; ko e kolo ʻe ua.

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

Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē mo honau ngaahi tuaʻā kolo ki he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Kohate naʻe toe, naʻe hongofulu.

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.

Pea naʻa nau foaki ki he fānau ʻa Kesoni, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoe kau Livai, mei hono potu ʻe taha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻa Kolani ʻi Pesani mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, ko e kolo hūfanga ki he tāmate faainoa mo Pesitila mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia ko e kolo ʻe ua.

Pea mei he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali, ko Ketesi ʻi Kāleli, mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, ko e kolo hūfanga ki he tāmate faainoa; mo Hemoti-Toa mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, mo Matani mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia; ko e kolo ʻe tolu.

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

Ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe kau Kesoni ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma tolu mo honau ngaahi tuaʻā kolo.

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;

Pea ki he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Melali, ko hono toe ʻoe kau Livai, naʻe ʻatu mei he faʻahinga ʻo Sepuloni, ʻa Sokiniami mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia, mo Kaata mo hono tuaʻā kolo ʻo ia,

36 And, out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer, with her pasture land, —and Jahaz, with her pasture land;

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.

Ko ia ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe tō ʻi he talotalo ki he fānau ʻa Melali ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Livai, ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma ua.

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:

Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kau Livai ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe fāngofulu ma valu mo honau ngaahi tuaʻā kolo.

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

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 Yahweh gave unto Israel, all the land which he had sworn to give unto their fathers, —and they took possession thereof, and dwelt therein.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
