Joshua 21

1 Then the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

Awo abakulira ennyumba mu kika ky’Abaleevi ne bajja eri Eriyazaali kabona n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’eri abakulu b’ennyumba z’abaana ba Isirayiri

2 They spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, “Yahweh commanded through Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for our livestock.”

e Siiro mu Kanani ne babagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira okuyita mu Musa nti tuweebwe ebibuga eby’okubeeramu era n’amalundiro g’ebisibo byaffe.”

3 The children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Yahweh, these cities with their pasture lands.

Kale, nga Mukama bwe yalagira, Abayisirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino n’amalundiro nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.

42 Each of these cities included their pasture lands around them. It was this way with all these cities.

Buli kimu ku bibuga bino kyalina ebyalo ebikyetoolodde; byonna ebibuga bwe byali.

43 So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.

Bw’atyo Mukama n’awa Isirayiri ettaka lyonna nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, era bwe baamala okulifuna ne babeera omwo.

44 Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.

Mukama n’abawa emirembe ne bawummula ku buli luuyi nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, tewali mulabe waabwe n’omu gwe bataawangula kubanga Mukama yali agabudde abalabe baabwe mu mukono gwabwe.

45 Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.
