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.
Na rĩrĩ, atongoria a nyũmba cia Alawii magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, o na kũrĩ atongoria a nyũmba cia mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya Isiraeli
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.”
kũu Shilo bũrũri wa Kaanani makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩathanire na kanua ka Musa atĩ tũkaaheo matũũra ma gũtũũra, marĩ na kũndũ gwa kũrĩithagĩria mahiũ maitũ.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhe Alawii matũũra o hamwe na kũndũ gwa kũrĩithio kuuma magai-inĩ mao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte:
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩtĩ yacuukwo-rĩ, mũtĩ wa mbere wagwĩrĩire mbarĩ ya Akohathu, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ. Alawii arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai maaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na matatũ kuuma mũhĩrĩga ya Juda, na wa Simeoni, na wa Benjamini.
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.
Acio angĩ a rũciaro rwa Kohathu maaheirwo matũũra ikũmi kuuma mbarĩ ya mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu, na wa Dani, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.
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.
Njiaro cia Gerishoni ciaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na matatũ kuuma mbarĩ cia mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru, na wa Asheri, na wa Nafitali, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase kũu Bashani.
7 The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Njiaro cia Merari, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, ciaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na meerĩ kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na wa Gadi, na wa Zebuluni.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩkĩhe Alawii matũũra macio na kũndũ kũrĩa kwamathiũrũrũkĩirie kũrĩ ũrĩithio wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte na kanua ka Musa.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.
Kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda na wa Simeoni andũ a Isiraeli makĩheana matũũra maya magwetetwo na marĩĩtwa
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.
(matũũra maya maaheirwo njiaro cia Harũni arĩa maarĩ a mbarĩ cia Akohathu cia mũhĩrĩga wa Alawii, nĩ ũndũ nĩo magwĩrĩirwo nĩ mũtĩ wa mbere):
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.
Magĩkĩmahe Kiriathu-Ariba (na no kuo Hebironi), hamwe na kũndũ kũrĩa gwathiũrũrũkĩirie gwa kũrĩithĩrio mahiũ kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Juda. (Ariba nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Anaki).
12 But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
No rĩrĩ, mĩgũnda na tũtũũra tũrĩa twathiũrũrũkĩirie itũũra rĩu inene nĩmaheete Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune gũtuĩke igai rĩake.
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,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio njiaro cia Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcihe Hebironi (itũũra inene rĩa kũũrĩrwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũraganĩte), na ikĩheo Libina,

19 The cities given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were thirteen cities in all, including their pasturelands.
Matũũra mothe ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ njiaro cia Harũni, maarĩ ikũmi na matatũ o hamwe na ithaka ciamo cia ũrĩithio.
20 As for the rest of Kohathites who belong to the Kohathite clans of the Levites—they had cities given to them from the tribe of Ephraim by the casting of lots.

Matũũra mothe marĩa maaheirwo mbarĩ cia Amerari, nao nĩo Alawii arĩa maatigaire, maarĩ ikũmi na meerĩ.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matũũra ma Alawii thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa wegwatĩirwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli maarĩ mĩrongo ĩna na manana marĩ mothe, hamwe na ithaka ciamo cia ũrĩithio.
42 These cities each had its surrounding pasturelands. It was this way with all these cities.
O itũũra rĩarĩ na ũrĩithio ũrĩa warĩthiũrũrũkĩirie; ũguo nĩguo matũũra macio mothe maatariĩ.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩhe Isiraeli ũhurũko mĩena yothe, o ta ũrĩa eerĩte maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa. Maarĩkia kwĩgwatĩra bũrũri ũcio ũgĩtuĩka wao, magĩtũũra kuo.
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.
Nake Jehova akĩmahe ũhurũko na mĩena yothe o ta ũrĩa eerĩte maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa. Gũtirĩ thũ o na ĩmwe yao yahotire kũmeetiiria, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaciheanĩte moko-inĩ mao.
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.
Gũtirĩ kĩrĩkanĩro o na kĩmwe kĩa maũndũ marĩa mega Jehova aameerĩire gĩtaahingirio; ciĩranĩro icio ciothe nĩciahingirio.
