While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
2 २ कनान देश के शीलो नगर में कहने लगे, “यहोवा ने मूसा के द्वारा हमें बसने के लिये नगर, और हमारे पशुओं के लिये उन्हीं नगरों की चराइयाँ भी देने की आज्ञा दी थी।”
3 ३ तब इस्राएलियों ने यहोवा के कहने के अनुसार अपने-अपने भाग में से लेवियों को चराइयों समेत ये नगर दिए।
So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
4 ४ तब कहातियों के कुलों के नाम पर चिट्ठी निकली। इसलिए लेवियों में से हारून याजक के वंश को यहूदी, शिमोन, और बिन्यामीन के गोत्रों के भागों में से तेरह नगर मिले।
[First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

So the Israeli leaders gave cities and pastureland to the tribe of Levi, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses that they should do.
These are the names of the cities and surrounding pasturelands that were allotted to them, that were in the areas where the tribes of Judah and Simeon lived.

Just like he had promised our ancestors, Yahweh allowed them/us to have peace with the enemies that surrounded them/us. Yahweh enabled the Israelis/us to defeat their/our enemies.
45 ४५ जितनी भलाई की बातें यहोवा ने इस्राएल के घराने से कही थीं उनमें से कोई भी बात न छूटी; सब की सब पूरी हुईं।
Yahweh did all the things that he had promised to the Israeli people/us. Everything that he said would happen did happen.
