Then came near the ancestral heads of the Levites, unto Eleazar, the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, —and unto the ancestral heads of the tribes, of the sons 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 spake unto them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: Yahweh himself, commanded, by the hand of Moses, that there should be given unto us cities to dwell in, —with their pasture-lands 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:
