1 Awo abakulira ennyumba mu kika ky’Abaleevi ne bajja eri Eriyazaali kabona n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’eri abakulu b’ennyumba z’abaana ba Isirayiri

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 e Siiro mu Kanani ne babagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira okuyita mu Musa nti tuweebwe ebibuga eby’okubeeramu era n’amalundiro g’ebisibo byaffe.”

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 Kale, nga Mukama bwe yalagira, Abayisirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino n’amalundiro nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.

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 Akalulu ne kagwa ku nda ez’Abakokasi. Bwe batyo Abaleevi abaali bava mu Alooni kabona ne bafuna ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu bika bya Yuda, ne Simyoni ne Benyamini.

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 Abakokasi abaali basigaddewo ne bafuna ebibuga kkumi okuva mu nnyumba, z’ebika bya Efulayimu, ne Ddaani n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya 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.

6 N’abaana ba Gerusoni ne baweebwa ebibuga kkumi na bisatu okuva mu nnyumba zino: eya Isakaali, n’eya Aseri, n’eya Nafutaali, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase mu Basani.

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 Abaana ba Merali ne baweebwa ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali, ebibuga kkumi na bibiri nga biva mu bika bino: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Zebbulooni.

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.

8 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawa Abaleevi ebibuga bino, n’amalundiro gaabwe nga Mukama bwe yali alagidde okuyita mu Musa.

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

9 Mu bika bya Yuda ne Simyoni mwavaamu ebibuga bino:

And the tribe of the children of Juda, and the tribe of the children of Symeon, and [part] of the tribe of the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned

10 bye byaweebwa abaana ba Alooni mu nnyumba z’Abakokasi mu kika ky’Abaleevi kubanga akalulu be kasooka okugwako.

to the sons of Aaron of the family of Caath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these.

11 Ne babawa Kiriasualuba (Aluba ye yali kitaawe wa Anaki) era ekimanyiddwa nga Kebbulooni mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Yuda n’ebyalo byakyo ebikyetoolodde.

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.

12 Naye ennimiro zaakyo n’ebibuga byakyo ne babiwa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune abitwale ng’omugabo gwe.

But the lands of the city, and its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne for a possession.

13 Abantu abaava mu Alooni eyali kabona ne baweebwa Kebbulooni, ebibuga ebyokwekwekamu abo ababa basse bantu bannaabwe, n’amalundiro gaabyo ne Libuna n’amalundiro gaakyo,

43 Bw’atyo Mukama n’awa Isirayiri ettaka lyonna nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabwe, era bwe baamala okulifuna ne babeera omwo.

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.

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 Buli kintu kyonna ekirungi Mukama kye yasuubiza ennyumba ya Isirayiri yakituukiriza. Byonna byatuukirira.

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