Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel
2 kũu Shilo bũrũri wa Kaanani makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩathanire na kanua ka Musa atĩ tũkaaheo matũũra ma gũtũũra, marĩ na kũndũ gwa kũrĩithagĩria mahiũ maitũ.”
at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhe Alawii matũũra o hamwe na kũndũ gwa kũrĩithio kuuma magai-inĩ mao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte:
So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 Na rĩrĩ, mĩtĩ yacuukwo-rĩ, mũtĩ wa mbere wagwĩrĩire mbarĩ ya Akohathu, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ. Alawii arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai maaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na matatũ kuuma mũhĩrĩga ya Juda, na wa Simeoni, na wa Benjamini.
The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
5 Acio angĩ a rũciaro rwa Kohathu maaheirwo matũũra ikũmi kuuma mbarĩ ya mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu, na wa Dani, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.

6 Njiaro cia Gerishoni ciaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na matatũ kuuma mbarĩ cia mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru, na wa Asheri, na wa Nafitali, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase kũu Bashani.
The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
9 Kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda na wa Simeoni andũ a Isiraeli makĩheana matũũra maya magwetetwo na marĩĩtwa

Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
