Josoa 21

1 Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Levita dia nanatona an’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely

Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

2 ka niteny taminy tao Silo tao amin’ ny tany Kanana hoe: Jehovah efa nampandidy an’ i Mosesy mba homena tanàna hitoerana izahay sy tany manodidina azy ho an’ ny biby fiompinay.

And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.

3 Dia avy tamin’ ny lovany no nanomezan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita izao tanàna izao sy ny tany manodidina azy avy araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.

And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.

4 Dia nahazo loka ny fokon’ ny Kehatita; ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Arona mpisorona isan’ ny Levita dia tanàna telo ambin’ ny folo, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda sy ny firenen’ i Simeona ary ny firenen’ i Benjamina.

So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

44 Dia nomen’ i Jehovah fitsaharana amin’ ny manodidina izy, araka izay rehetra nianiananany tamin’ ny razany, ka tsy nisy lehilahy tamin’ ny fahavalony rehetra nahajanona teo anoloany; fa natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany avokoa ny fahavalony rehetra.

And the Lord gave them peace on every side, as he had said to their fathers: all those who were against them gave way before them, for the Lord gave them all up into their hands.

45 Tsy nisy latsata na dia kely akory aza ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; fa tanteraka avokoa izany rehetra izany.

The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.
