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.

Los jefes de las familias de los levitas se acercaron al sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, hijo de Nun, y a las cabezas de las familias de las tribus de los hijos de Israel,

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.”

y hablaron con ellos en Silo, en el país de Canaán, diciendo: “Yahvé mandó por boca de Moisés que se nos diesen ciudades donde habitar, con sus ejidos para nuestro ganado.”

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.

Dieron los hijos de Israel de sus propias herencias, conforme a la orden de Yahvé, estas ciudades con sus ejidos a los levitas.

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.

Salió la (primera) suerte para las familias de los caatitas: y así los hijos del sacerdote Aarón de entre los levitas obtuvieron por suerte trece ciudades de parte de la tribu de Judá, de la tribu de Simeón y de la tribu de Benjamín.

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.

Los restantes hijos de Caat obtuvieron por suerte diez ciudades de parte de las familias de la tribu de Efraím, de la tribu de Dan y de la mitad de la tribu de Manasés.

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.

Los hijos de Gersón obtuvieron por suerte trece ciudades de parte de las familias de la tribu de Isacar, de la tribu de Aser, de la tribu de Neftalí y de la mitad de la tribu de Manasés en Basan.

7 The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

Los hijos de Merarí obtuvieron, según sus familias, doce ciudades de parte de la tribu de Rubén, de la tribu de Gad y de la tribu de Zabulón.

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.

Dieron, pues, los hijos de Israel por suerte estas ciudades con sus ejidos a los levitas, como Yahvé había mandado por boca de Moisés.

9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.

De la tribu de los hijos de Judá y de la tribu de los hijos de Simeón, estas ciudades señaladas nominalmente, fueron adjudicadas

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.

a los hijos de Aarón de las familias de los caatitas, de los hijos de Leví, pues la suerte de ellos fue la primera.

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.

Les dieron la ciudad de Arbá, padre de Enac, o sea Hebrón, situada en la montaña de Judá, con sus ejidos en derredor de ella.

12 But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.

Mas los campos de la ciudad, con sus aldeas, los dieron en posesión a Caleb, hijo de Jefone.

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,

40 All these were the cities of the several clans of Merari, who were from the tribe of Levi—twelve cities in all were given to them by the casting of lots.

Cada una de estas ciudades tenía su ejido en derredor. Así fue en todas estas ciudades.

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.

De este modo Yahvé dio a Israel todo el país que había jurado dar a sus padres; y ellos lo tomaron en posesión y habitaron allí.

42 These cities each had its surrounding pasturelands. It was this way with all these cities.

Y Yahvé les dio descanso todo en derredor, conforme a cuanto había jurado a sus padres; ninguno de sus enemigos pudo resistir delante de ellos; Yahvé entregó en sus manos a todos sus enemigos.
