Joshua 21
1 Then the tribal leaders of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families of their ancestors within the people of Israel.
Levi napa rhoek a lu rhoek te khosoih Eleazar, Nun Capa Joshua neh Israel ca koca kah a napa rhoek khuikah a lu rhoek taengla thoeih uh.
2 They said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to live in, with the pasturelands for our livestock.”
Te vaengah Kanaan kho Shiloh ah amih te a voek uh tih, “Khosak thil ham khopuei rhoek neh ka rhamsa ham khocaak khaw kaimih taengah paek ham te BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a uen coeng ta,” a ti uh.
3 So by the command of Yahweh, the people of Israel gave out of their inheritance the following cities, including their pasturelands, to the Levites.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh amamih kah rho khui lamkah te BOEIPA ol vanbangla khopuei neh a khocaak rhoek te Levi ham a suem pauh.
4 The casting of lots for the clans of the Kohathites gave this result: The priests—the descendants of Aaron who were from the Levites—received thirteen cities given from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.
Kohathi kah a hui a ko ham hmulung a naan vaengah Levi khui lamkah khosoih Aaron ca rhoek ham te Judah koca khui lamkah khaw, Simeon koca khui lamkah khaw, Benjamin koca khui lamkah khaw khopuei hlai thum te hmulung neh a nan pah.
5 The rest of the Kohathites were allotted ten cities from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and from the half tribe of Manasseh.
Kohath koca aka coih rhoek ham te Ephraim koca cako khui lamkah, Dan koca khui lamkah, Manasseh koca hlangvang khui lamkah kho parha te hmulung neh a naan pah.
6 Then the people descended from Gershon were given, by the casting of lots, thirteen cities from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7 The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Merari ca rhoek ham khaw a hui a ko tarhing ah Reuben koca khui lamkah, Gad koca khui lamkah Zebulun koca khui lamkah khopuei hlai nit te a suem pah
8 So the people of Israel gave, by casting lots, these cities (including their pasturelands) to the Levites, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Te tlam te BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a uen vanbangla khopuei rhoek neh a khocaak rhoek he Israel ca rhoek loh Levi rhoek ham hmulung neh a suem pauh.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.
A ming la a khue khopuei rhoek te Judah ca rhoek cako neh Simeon ca rhoek cako khui lamkah khaw a suem pauh.
10 These cities were given to the descendants of Aaron, who were among the clans of the Kohathites, who in turn were from the tribe of Levi. For the first casting of lots had fallen to them.

11 The Israelites gave them Kiriath Arba (Arba had been the father of Anak), the same place as Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the pasturelands around it.

12 But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
Tedae khopuei vangca kah lohma te tah Jephunneh capa Kaleb taengah a khohut la a paek uh.
13 To the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its pasturelands—which was a city of refuge for any who killed another unintentionally—and Libnah with its pasturelands,
Hlang aka ngawn kah hlipyingnah khopuei la Hebron neh a khocaak, Libnah neh a khocaak,

Levi huiko lamkah aka cul Merari ca rhoek kah a huiko khopuei boeih te kho hlai nit la hmulung loh a naan pah.
41 The cities of the Levites taken from the middle of the land possessed by the people of Israel were forty-eight cities, including their pasturelands.
Israel ca rhoek khohut lakli ah Levi khopuei rhoek he a pum boeih la a khocaak rhoek neh kho sawmli parhet lo.
42 These cities each had its surrounding pasturelands. It was this way with all these cities.
Tekah kho rhoek te khopuei khopuei kah a kaep a vai ah kho tom boeih ham a khocaak khaw a om pauh.
43 So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their ancestors. The Israelites took possession of it and settled there.
A napa rhoek taengah paek ham a caeng khohmuen boeih te BOEIPA loh Israel taengah a paek tih a pang uh dongah a khuiah kho a sak uh.
44 Then Yahweh gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies could defeat them. Yahweh gave all their enemies into their hand.
A napa rhoek taengah boeih a caeng vanbangla a kaep a vai ah BOEIPA loh a duem sak tih a mikhmuh ah a thunkha khuikah hlang pakhat long khaw a pai thil moenih. A thunkha boeih te BOEIPA loh amih kut ah a paek.
45 Not one thing among all the good promises that Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel failed to come true. All of them came to be.
Israel imkhui ham BOEIPA loh ol then a thui te ol pakhat khaw a dalh mueh la boeih soep.
