Joshua 21
1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Afei, Lewifo abusua mu ntuanofo kɔɔ ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuw a aka mu ntuanofo no nkyɛn.
2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for our cattle.
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 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
Na sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no, wɔde nkurow a edidi so yi a wɔn adidibea ka ho maa Lewifo sɛ wɔn agyapade.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [who were] of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

8 And the children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD 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 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here] mentioned by name,
Israelfo no de saa nkurow a ɛyɛ Yuda ne Simeon mmusuakuw no dea no
10 Which the children of Aaron, [being] of the families of the Kohathites, [who were] of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.

11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak (which [city is] Hebron) in the hill -[country] of Judah, with its suburbs round 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, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
Nanso nsase ne nkuraa a atwa kurow no ho ahyia no de, wɔde maa Yefune babarima Kaleb.
13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest, Hebron with its suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with its suburbs,

33 All the cities of the Gershonites, according to their families, [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.
Enti nkurow dumiɛnsa ne ɛho adidibea na wɔde maa Gerson mmusua no.
34 And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its suburbs, and Kartah with its suburbs,
Lewifo nkae a wɔyɛ Merari abusua no nyaa saa nkurow yi a efi Sebulon abusuakuw no nkyɛn: Yokneam, Karta,

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot twelve cities.
Enti nkurow dumien na wɔde maa Merari abusua.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
Nkurow dodow ne ɛho adidibea a na ɛwɔ Israelman mu a wɔde maa Lewifo no nyinaa yɛ aduanan awotwe.
42 These cities were every one with their suburbs around them. Thus [were] all these cities.
Na kurow biara wɔ adidibea da ho.
43 And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
Enti Awurade de nsase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa Israelfo no, na wodii so nkonim, tenaa hɔ.
44 And the LORD gave them rest on all sides, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered 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 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Bɔ pa biara a Awurade hyɛɛ Israel no nyinaa baa mu; emu bi anni huammɔ.
