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.
Bakonzi ya mabota ya bakitani ya Levi bayaki epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe epai ya bakonzi ya bituka ya mabota mosusu ya Isalaele,
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.”
na Silo, kati na mokili ya Kanana, mpo na koloba na bango: « Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize ete bopesa biso bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele na yango mpo na bibwele na biso. »
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.
Boye, kolanda mitindo ya Yawe, bana ya Isalaele balongolaki kati na libula na bango ndambo ya bingumba elongo na mabele na yango, mpe bapesaki yango epai ya bakitani ya Levi.
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.
Zeke ya liboso ekweyaki epai ya etuka ya Keati. Bato ya Levi oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron bazwaki, na nzela ya zeke, bingumba zomi na misato kati na libota ya Yuda, ya Simeoni mpe ya Benjame.
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.

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.

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.
Boye, ndenge Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize, bana ya Isalaele babetaki zeke mpo na kopesa bingumba wana elongo na mabele na yango epai ya bakitani ya Levi.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.

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.
Boye, Yawe apesaki na Isalaele mokili nyonso oyo alakaki kopesa epai ya batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi. Bana ya Isalaele bazwaki yango mpe bakomaki kovanda kuna.
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.
Yawe apesaki bango kimia na bangambo nyonso, kolanda nyonso oyo alakaki batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi. Monguna moko te kati na banguna na bango alongaki lisusu kotelemela bango. Yawe akabaki banguna na bango nyonso na maboko na bango.

Kati na bilaka nyonso ya kitoko oyo Yawe apesaki na libota ya Isalaele, moko te etikalaki kokweya; solo, nyonso ekokisamaki.
