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.
Afei, Lewifo abusua mu ntuanofo kɔɔ ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuw a aka mu ntuanofo no nkyɛn.
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.”
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ Silo a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no se, “Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, ɔmma yɛn nkurow na yɛntena mu ne adidibea mma yɛn anantwi.”
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.
Na sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no, wɔde nkurow a edidi so yi a wɔn adidibea ka ho maa Lewifo sɛ wɔn agyapade.
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.
Aaron asefo a na wɔyɛ Kohat abusuamma, na wɔfra Lewi abusuakuw mu no nyaa nkurow dumiɛnsa a na anka ɛyɛ Yuda, Simeon ne Benyamin mmusuakuw no dea.
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.
Afi a aka wɔ Kohat abusua mu no, wɔmaa wɔn nkurow du fii Efraim ne Dan mmusuakuw no ne Manase abusuakuw fa no nsase mu.
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.
Gerson abusua no nso, wɔmaa wɔn nkurow dumiɛnsa fii Isakar, Aser, Naftali ne Manase abusuakuw fa no wɔ Basan.
7 The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Merari abusua no nyaa nkurow dumien fii Ruben, Gad ne Sebulon mmusuakuw no nkyɛn.
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.
Enti Israelfo no dii Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɔde maa Mose no so. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron, nam so yiyii saa nkurow yi ne adidibea a ɛkeka ho maa Lewifo.
9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.
Israelfo no de saa nkurow a ɛyɛ Yuda ne Simeon mmusuakuw no dea no
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.
maa Aaron asefo a wɔfra Kohat abusua mu na ɛka Lewi abusuakuw ho no, efisɛ ntonto kronkron a edi kan no bɔɔ wɔn.
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.
Kiriat-Arba a (wɔfrɛ no Hebron), a ɛwɔ Yuda bepɔw asase so ne ɛho adidibea. (Arba yɛ Anak tete agya.)
12 But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
Nanso nsase ne nkuraa a atwa kurow no ho ahyia no de, wɔde maa Yefune babarima Kaleb.
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,
Nkurow a edidi so yi ne wɔn adidibea no wɔde maa ɔsɔfo Aaron asefo: Hebron (guankɔbea kuropɔn ma nea ne nsa apa wɔ obi ho), Libna,
14 Jattir with its pasturelands, and Eshtemoa with its pasturelands.

15 They also gave Holon with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands,

16 Ain with its pasturelands, Juttah with its pasturelands, and Beth Shemesh with its pasturelands. There were nine cities that were given from these two tribes.
Ain, Yuta ne Bet-Semes a ɛyɛ nkurow akron a wonya fii saa mmusuakuw abien yi nkyɛn no.
17 From the tribe of Benjamin were given Gibeon with its pasturelands, Geba with its pasturelands,

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.
Kohat abusua nkae a wofi Lewi abusuakuw mu no nso, wɔde saa nkurow yi ne adidibea a efi Efraim abusua nkyɛn maa wɔn:

26 There were ten cities in all for the rest of the clans of the Kohathites, including their pasturelands.

27 From the half tribe of Manasseh, to clans of Gershon, these were other Levite clans, and they gave Golan in Bashan with its pasturelands—a city of refuge for anyone who killed another unintentionally, along with Be Eshterah with its pasturelands—two cities in all.
Gerson abusua a wɔyɛ Lewi abusuakuw no fa bi no nso nyaa nkurow abien ne wɔn adidibea fii Manase abusua fa no nkyɛn. Nkurow no ne Golan a ɛwɔ Basan (guankɔbea kuropɔn) ne Beestra.

31 Helkath with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands—four cities in all.

32 From the tribe of Naphtali, they gave the clans of Gershon Kedesh in Galilee with its pasturelands—a city of refuge for anyone who killed another unintentionally; Hammoth Dor with its pasturelands, and Kartan with its pasturelands—three cities in all.
Naftali abusuakuw no maa wɔn Kedes a ɛwɔ Galilea (guankɔbea kuropɔn), Hamot-Dor ne Kartan nkurow abiɛsa ne wɔn adidibea.
33 There were thirteen cities in all, out of the clans of Gershon, including their pasturelands.
Enti nkurow dumiɛnsa ne ɛho adidibea na wɔde maa Gerson mmusua no.
34 To the rest of the Levites—the clans of Merari—were given out of the tribe of Zebulun: Jokneam with its pasturelands, Kartah with its pasturelands,

39 The clans of Merari were also given Heshbon with its pasturelands, and Jazer with its pasturelands. These were four cities in all.
Hesbon ne Yaser, nkurow anan ne ho adidibea.
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.
Enti nkurow dumien na wɔde maa Merari abusua.
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.
Nkurow dodow ne ɛho adidibea a na ɛwɔ Israelman mu a wɔde maa Lewifo no nyinaa yɛ aduanan awotwe.
42 These cities each had its surrounding pasturelands. It was this way with all these cities.
Na kurow biara wɔ adidibea da ho.
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.
Enti Awurade de nsase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa Israelfo no, na wodii so nkonim, tenaa hɔ.
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.
Na Awurade ma wonyaa ɔhome wɔ afanan nyinaa, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn atamfo biara antumi annyina wɔn anim, efisɛ Awurade boaa wɔn ma wodii wɔn atamfo so nkonim.
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.
Bɔ pa biara a Awurade hyɛɛ Israel no nyinaa baa mu; emu bi anni huammɔ.
