1 Na rĩrĩ, atongoria a nyũmba cia Alawii magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, o na kũrĩ atongoria a nyũmba cia mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya Isiraeli

And the heads of the families of the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the [son] of Naue, and to the heads of families of the 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.”

And they spoke to them in Selo in the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle.

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 the children of Israel gave to the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities and the country round.

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.

And the lot came out for the children of Caath; and the sons of Aaron, the priests the Levites, had by lot thirteen cities out of the tribe of Juda, and out of the tribe of Symeon, and out of the tribe of 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.

And to the sons of Caath that were left were [given by] lot ten cities, out of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasse.

And the sons of Gedson had thirteen cities, out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Aser, and out of the tribe of Nephthali, and out of the half tribe of Manasse in Basan.

7 Njiaro cia Merari, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, ciaheirwo matũũra ikũmi na meerĩ kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na wa Gadi, na wa Zebuluni.

And the sons of Merari according to their families had by lot twelve cities, out of the tribe of Ruben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zabulon.

And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot.

9 Kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda na wa Simeoni andũ a Isiraeli makĩheana matũũra maya magwetetwo na marĩĩtwa

11 Magĩkĩmahe Kiriathu-Ariba (na no kuo Hebironi), hamwe na kũndũ kũrĩa gwathiũrũrũkĩirie gwa kũrĩithĩrio mahiũ kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Juda. (Ariba nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Anaki).

And they gave to them Cariatharboc the metropolis of the sons of Enac; this is Chebron in the mountain [country] of Juda, and the suburbs round it.

So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and lived in it.

44 Nake Jehova akĩmahe ũhurũko na mĩena yothe o ta ũrĩa eerĩte maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa. Gũtirĩ thũ o na ĩmwe yao yahotire kũmeetiiria, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaciheanĩte moko-inĩ mao.

And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.

45 Gũtirĩ kĩrĩkanĩro o na kĩmwe kĩa maũndũ marĩa mega Jehova aameerĩire gĩtaahingirio; ciĩranĩro icio ciothe nĩciahingirio.

There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
