ಯೆಹೋಶುವನು 21
1 ೧ ಲೇವಿ ಕುಲಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳು ಕಾನಾನ್ ದೇಶದ ಶೀಲೋವಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕನಾದ ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರ, ನೂನನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೆಹೋಶುವ ಮತ್ತು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ ಕುಲಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳು ಇವರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು,
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 ೨ “ನಮ್ಮ ನಿವಾಸಕ್ಕೆ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳನ್ನೂ ಪಶುಗಳಿಗೆ ಗೋಮಾಳಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೆಹೋವನು ಮೋಶೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದ್ದಾನಲ್ಲವೆ?” ಅನ್ನಲು
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 ೩ ಅವರು ಯೆಹೋವನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯಂತೆ ತಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಬರೆದಷ್ಟು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಗೋಮಾಳಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 ೪ ಕೆಹಾತ್ಯರಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಚೀಟುಹಾಕಿದಾಗ ಆರೋನನ ವಂಶದವರಾದ ಲೇವಿಯರಿಗೆ ಯೆಹೂದ, ಸಿಮೆಯೋನ್, ಬೆನ್ಯಾಮೀನ್ ಕುಲಗಳಿಂದ ಹದಿಮೂರು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ದೊರೆತವು.
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.
The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
6 ೬ ಪುನಃ ಚೀಟು ಹಾಕಿದಾಗ ಗೇರ್ಷೋನ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಇಸ್ಸಾಕಾರ್, ಆಶೇರ್, ನಫ್ತಾಲಿ ಎಂಬ ಕುಲಗಳಿಂದ ಮತ್ತು ಬಾಷಾನಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಮನಸ್ಸೆಯ ಅರ್ಧ ಕುಲದಿಂದಲೂ ಹದಿಮೂರು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ದೊರಕಿದವು.
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.
8 ೮ ಯೆಹೋವನು ಮೋಶೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರು ಚೀಟು ಹಾಕಿ ಲೇವಿಯರಿಗೆ ಇಷ್ಟು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳನ್ನು ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಗೋಮಾಳಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name
to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:
11 ೧೧ ಇವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಯೆಹೂದ ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಸೀಮೆಯ ಹೆಬ್ರೋನೆಂಬ ಗೋಮಾಳ ಸಹಿತವಾದ ಕಿರ್ಯತರ್ಬವೂ ಸೇರಿರುತ್ತದೆ. (ಕಿರ್ಯಾತ ಅರ್ಬ ಎಂದರೆ ಅನಾಕನ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಅರ್ಬನ ಪಟ್ಟಣ) ಅದರ ಸುತ್ತಲಿರುವ ಉಪನಗರಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.
So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave these cities, together with their pasturelands: Hebron, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah,
Jattir, Eshtemoa,
Holon, Debir,
Ain, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh—nine cities from these two tribes, together with their pasturelands.
And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon, Geba,
Anathoth, and Almon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
In all, thirteen cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim
they were given Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim (a city of refuge for the manslayer), Gezer,
Kibzaim, and Beth-horon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
From the tribe of Dan they were given Elteke, Gibbethon,
Aijalon, and Gath-rimmon—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
25 ೨೫ ಮನಸ್ಸೆ ಕುಲದ ಅರ್ಧಜನರ ಸ್ವತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ತಾನಾಕ್, ಗತ್‌ರಿಮ್ಮೋನ್, ಎಂಬ ಎರಡು ಗೋಮಾಳ ಸಹಿತವಾದ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ಚೀಟಿನಿಂದ ದೊರಕಿದವು.
And from the half-tribe of Manasseh they were given Taanach and Gath-rimmon—two cities, together with their pasturelands.
In all, ten cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.
27 ೨೭ ಗೆರ್ಷೋನ್ಯರ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಧ ಮನಸ್ಸೆಯವರ ಸ್ವತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ದೊರಕಿದ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ಇವು: ಕೊಲೆ ಮಾಡಿದವನಿಗೆ ಆಶ್ರಯ ನಗರವಾದ ಬಾಷಾನಿನ ಗೋಲಾನ್, ಬೆಯೆಷ್ಟೆರಾ ಎಂಬ ಗೋಮಾಳ ಸಹಿತವಾದ ಎರಡು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು;
This is what the Levite clans of the Gershonites were given: From the half-tribe of Manasseh they were given Golan in Bashan, a city of refuge for the manslayer, and Beeshterah—two cities, together with their pasturelands.
From the tribe of Issachar they were given Kishion, Daberath,
Jarmuth, and En-gannim—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
From the tribe of Asher they were given Mishal, Abdon,
Helkath, and Rehob—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
32 ೩೨ ನಫ್ತಾಲಿ ಸ್ವತ್ತಿನಿಂದ, ಕೊಲೆ ಮಾಡಿದವನಿಗೆ ಆಶ್ರಯ ನಗರವಾದ ಗಲಿಲಾಯದ ಕೆದೆಷ್ ಹಮ್ಮೋತ್ ದೋರ್, ಕರ್ತಾನ್ ಎಂಬ ಗೋಮಾಳ ಸಹಿತವಾದ ಮೂರು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳು ದೊರಕಿದವು.
And from the tribe of Naphtali they were given Kedesh in Galilee (a city of refuge for the manslayer), Hammoth-dor, and Kartan—three cities, together with their pasturelands.
In all, thirteen cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the Gershonite clans.
This is what the Merarite clan (the rest of the Levites) were given: From the tribe of Zebulun they were given Jokneam, Kartah,
Dimnah, and Nahalal—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
From the tribe of Reuben they were given Bezer, Jahaz,
Kedemoth, and Mephaath—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
And from the tribe of Gad they were given Ramoth in Gilead, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Mahanaim,
Heshbon, and Jazer—four cities in all, together with their pasturelands.
In all, twelve cities were allotted to the clans of Merari, the remaining Levite clans.
For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.
Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
43 ೪೩ ಯೆಹೋವನು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರ ಪೂರ್ವಿಕರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮಾಡಿದ ದೇಶವನ್ನು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು. ಅವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಮಾಡಿದರು.
Thus the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled in it.
44 ೪೪ ಯೆಹೋವನು ಅವರ ಪೂರ್ವಿಕರಿಗೆ ಆಣೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಸಮಾಧಾನವನ್ನು ಅನುಗ್ರಹಿಸಿದನು. ವೈರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬನೂ ಅವರೆದುರು ನಿಲ್ಲಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆತನು ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ಅವರ ಕೈಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿದನು.
And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 ೪೫ ಯೆಹೋವನು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಮಾಡಿದ ಅತಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ ವಾಗ್ದಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದೂ ತಪ್ಪಿ ಹೋಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನೆರವೇರಿದವು.
Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
