Joshua 21
1 While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
Lifai fi ouligisu dunu da gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa, Yosiua (Nane egefe) amola Isala: ili dunu fi huluane ilia ouligisu dunu ilima misi.
Amogawi, Siailou sogebi amo Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini, ilia da ilima amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da Mousesema ninia da moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esaloma: ne amola amo sisiga: le ninia ohe fi soge amola ninima ima: ne sia: i.”
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo defele, Isala: ili dunu da Lifai dunuma moilai bai bagade amola sogebi ilia soge amo ganodini mogili, ilegele, ilima i.
4 [First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
Ilia degabo amo Lifai fi afae amo Gouha: de fi ilima moilale i. Gobele salasu dunu Elane egaga fi ilima ilia da moilai bai bagade galoyale amo Yuda, Simione amola Bediamini ilia soge amo ganodini i.
5 To the other members of the Kohath clan they allotted ten cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh [that lives on the west side of the Jordan River].
Gouha: de fi enoma ilia da moilai bai bagade nabuane gala Ifala: ime, Da: ne amola Eso Dabe la: idi Ma: na: se ilia soge ganodini galu i.
6 The people from the Gershon clans were allotted 13 cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh that lives on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Ilia da moilai bai bagade galoyale amo Isaga, A:sie, Na: fadalai amola Eso Mabadi la: idi Ma: na: se fi ilia soge ganodini galu, amo Gesione fi ilima i.
7 The people from the Merari clans were allotted twelve cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Ilia da moilai bai bagade fagoyale amo Liubene, Ga: de amola Sebiulane ilia soge ganodini galu, amo Milalai fi ilima i.
8 So the Israeli leaders gave cities and pastureland to the tribe of Levi, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses that they should do.
Isala: ili dunu da ululuale ilegele, amo moilai amola sisiga: le dialu ohe fi soge, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele Lifai fi dunuma i.
9 These are the names of the cities and surrounding pasturelands that were allotted to them, that were in the areas where the tribes of Judah and Simeon lived.
10 First, they allotted cities to the members of the Kohath clans.
Ilegesu age. Moilai bai bagade amo da Yuda soge amola Simione soge amo ganodini dialu, ilia da Elane egaga fi afae amo Gouha: de dunu (ilia da Lifai egaga fi) moilai bai bagade dio da hagudu dedei.
11 They allotted to them Kiriath-Arba (which is [now named] Hebron), in the hilly area of Judah. Arba received its name because Arba was the ancestor of [the giants of] the Anak people-group.
Ilia da Aba (Aba da A: nege eda) amo moilai bai bagade ea dio wali da Hibalone, Yuda agolo soge ganodini gala, amo amola ohe fi soge amo sisiga: le dialu lai dagoi.
12 But the fields and villages surrounding Arba had already been allotted to Caleb.
Be amo moilai bai bagade ea soge amola ea moilai fonobahadi huluane da Yefane ea mano Ga: ilebe ema ia dagoi ba: i.
13 They allotted to them Hebron, which was one of the cities to which people could run/escape to be safe/protected. They also allotted to the Kohath clan the cities of Libnah,

26 Those were the ten cities and surrounding pastureland that were allotted to the other members of the Kohath clan.

41 So altogether 48 cities were allotted to the tribe of Levi,
42 and each city had surrounding pastureland.
Soge amo Isala: ili dunu da lai amoga ilia da fifili, mogili Lifai dunuma i. Ilia da moilai bai bagade amola gebo fi ha: i nasu sogebi amo moilai sisiga: le dialu amo 48agoane Lifai dunuma i dagoi.
43 In that way Yahweh allotted to the Israeli people all the land that he had promised to give to their/our ancestors. The Israeli people took control of [most of] those areas and started to live there.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da soge huluane amo e da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo Isala: ili fi ilima i. Ilia soge huluane lale, moi dogole hahawane fi.
44 Just like he had promised our ancestors, Yahweh allowed them/us to have peace with the enemies that surrounded them/us. Yahweh enabled the Israelis/us to defeat their/our enemies.
Hina Gode da ilia aowalali ilima ilegele sia: i defele, E da ilima olofosu amola helefisu i. Ilima ha lai afae da ilima hasalimu hamedei ba: i. Bai Hina Gode da ilima hasalasu hou i dagoi.
45 Yahweh did all the things that he had promised to the Israeli people/us. Everything that he said would happen did happen.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunuma Ea ilegele sia: i liligi amo huluane afae mae fisili, hahamoi dagoi.
