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

And the leaders of the families of Levi approached Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the rulers of the extended families of each of the tribes of the sons 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 they spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, and they said, “The Lord instructed, by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given to us as habitations, with their suburbs to nourish 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 so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with 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.

And the lot went out for the family of Kohath, of the sons of Aaron, the priest, from the tribes of Judah and Simeon and Benjamin: thirteen cities.

5 Ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata sisa dia tanàna folo, avy tamin’ ny fokon’ ny firenen’ i Efraima sy ny firenen’ i Dana ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase.

And to the remainder of the sons of Kohath, that is, to the Levites who were left over, there went, from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

6 Ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Gersona dia tanàna telo ambin’ ny folo, avy tamin’ ny fokon’ ny firenen’ Isakara sy ny firenen’ i Asera sy ny firenen’ i Naftaly ary tamin’ ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase any Basana.

And next the lot went out to the sons of Gershon, so that they would receive, from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh at Bashan: the number of thirteen cities.

7 Ary ny loka azon’ ny taranak’ i Merary isam-pokony dia tanàna roa ambin’ ny folo, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena sy ny firenen’ i Gada ary ny firenen’ i Zebolona.

And to the sons of Merari, by their families, from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun, there went twelve cities.

8 Dia nomen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita tamin’ ny filokana ireo tanàna ireo sy ny tany manodidina azy avy, araka izay nasain’ i Jehovah nandidian’ i Mosesy.

And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs to the Levites, just as the Lord instructed by the hand of Moses, distributing to each by lot.

9 Dia nomeny avy tamin’ ny firenena taranak’ i Joda sy ny firenena taranak’ i Simeona ireto tanàna hotononina ireto,

From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:

10 izay azon’ ny taranak’ i Arona, isam-pokon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata, amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy; fa azy ny loka voalohany.

to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them, )

11 Dia nomeny azy ny tanànan’ i Arba, rain’ i Anàka (Hebrona izany), any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Joda, mbamin’ ny tany manodidina azy.

the city of Arba, the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, on the mountain of Judah, and its surrounding suburbs.

12 Fa ny saha momba ny tanàna sy ny zana-bohiny dia nomeny ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone.

Yet truly, the fields and its villages he had given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as a possession.

13 Dia nomeny ny taranak’ i Arona mpisorona Hebrona sy ny tany manodidina azy, ho tanàna fandosirana ho an’ izay nahafaty olona, ary Libna sy ny tany manodidina azy

Therefore, he gave to the sons of Aaron the priest, Hebron as a city of refuge, as well as its suburbs, and Libnah, with its suburbs,

14 ary Jatira sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Estemoa sy ny tany manodidina azy,

and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,

16 ary Aina sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Jota sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Beti-semesy sy ny tany manodidina azy: tanàna sivy avy tamin’ ireo firenena roa ireo;

and Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their suburbs: nine cities from two tribes, just as has been said.

17 ary avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina dia Gibeona sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Geba sy ny tany manodidina azy

Then, from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,

18 ary Anatota sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Almona sy ny tany manodidina azy, dia tanàna efatra.

and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs: four cities.

19 Ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, dia telo ambin’ ny folo ary ny tany manodidina azy avy.

All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.

20 Ary ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Rehata, dia ny Levita sisa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Kehata, ny tanàna azony tamin’ ny filokana dia avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Efraima.

Yet truly, the remainder of the families of the sons of Kohath, of the stock of Levi, were given this possession:

21 Dia nomeny azy Sekema sy ny tany manodidina azy any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, ho tanàna fandosirana ho an’ izay nahafaty olona, ary Gazera sy ny tany manodidina azy

from the tribe of Ephraim, Shechem, one of the cities of refuge, with its suburbs, on mount Ephraim, and Gezer,

26 Ny tanàna rehetra azon’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata sisa dia folo ary ny tany manodidina azy avy.

All the cities were ten, with their suburbs; these were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lesser degree.

27 Ary izao no azon’ ny taranak’ i Gersona isan’ ny fokon’ ny Levita; avy tamin’ ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia Golana any Basana sy ny tany manodidina azy, ho tanàna fandosirana ho an’ izay nahafaty olona, ary Bestera sy ny tany manodidina azy, dia tanàna roa;

Likewise, to the sons of Gershon, of the stock of Levi, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, went Golan in Bashan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities;

28 ary avy tamin’ ny firenen’ Isakara dia Kisiona sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Daberata sy ny tany manodidina azy,

and Helkath and Rehob, with their suburbs, four cities;

32 ary avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Naftaly dia Kadesy any Galilia sy ny tany manodidina azy, ho tanàna fandosirana ho an’ izay nahafaty olona, ary Hamota dora sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Kanana sy ny tany manodidina azy, dia tanàna telo.

33 Ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny Gersonita isam-potony dia telo ambin’ ny folo ary ny tany manodidina azy avy.

All the cities of the families of Gershon were thirteen, with their suburbs.

34 Ary izao no azon’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, izay Levita sisa: avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Zebolona dia Jokneama sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Karta sy ny tany manodidina azy,

Then, to the sons of Merari, Levites of the lesser degree, by their families, were given, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah,

35 ary Dimna sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Nahalola sy ny tany manodidina azy, dia tanàna efatra;

39 ary Hesbona sy ny tany manodidina azy ary Jazera sy ny tany manodidina azy, dia tanàna efatra izy rehetra.

40 Ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny taranak’ i Merary araka ny fokony, izay sisa tamin’ ny fokon’ ny Levita, dia tanàna roa ambin’ ny folo no loka azony.

All the cities of the sons of Merari, by their families and extended families, were twelve.

41 Ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny Levita teo anatin’ ny lovan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia valo amby efa-polo sy ny tany manodidina azy avy.

And so all the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight,

42 Ireo tanàna ireo samy manana ny taniny manodidina azy avy; tahaka izany avokoa ireo tanàna rehetra ireo.

with their suburbs, each distributed by families.

43 Dia nomen’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely ny tany rehetra izay efa nianianany homena ny razany; ary nandova izany izy ireo ka nonina teo,

And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn he would deliver to their fathers. And they possessed it, and they lived in it.

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 he gave them peace with all the surrounding nations. And none of their enemies dared to stand against them; instead, they were brought under their sovereignty.

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.

Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.
