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 tribal leaders of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families of their ancestors within the people 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.
They said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, “Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to live in, with the pasturelands for our livestock.”
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.
So by the command of Yahweh, the people of Israel gave out of their inheritance the following cities, including their pasturelands, to the Levites.
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.
The casting of lots for the clans of the Kohathites gave this result: The priests—the descendants of Aaron who were from the Levites—received thirteen cities given from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.
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.
The rest of the Kohathites were allotted ten cities from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and from the half tribe of Manasseh.
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.
Then the people descended from Gershon were given, by the casting of lots, thirteen cities from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
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.
The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
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.
So the people of Israel gave, by casting lots, these cities (including their pasturelands) to the Levites, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.
9 Dia nomeny avy tamin’ ny firenena taranak’ i Joda sy ny firenena taranak’ i Simeona ireto tanàna hotononina ireto,
From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.
10 izay azon’ ny taranak’ i Arona, isam-pokon’ ny taranak’ i Kehata, amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy; fa azy ny loka voalohany.
These cities were given to the descendants of Aaron, who were among the clans of the Kohathites, who in turn were from the tribe of Levi. For the first casting of lots had fallen to 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 Israelites gave them Kiriath Arba (Arba had been the father of Anak), the same place as Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the pasturelands around it.
12 Fa ny saha momba ny tanàna sy ny zana-bohiny dia nomeny ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone.
But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his 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

The cities given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were thirteen cities in all, including their pasturelands.
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.
As for the rest of Kohathites who belong to the Kohathite clans of the Levites—they had cities given to them from the tribe of Ephraim by the casting of lots.

So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their ancestors. The Israelites took possession of it and settled there.
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.
Then Yahweh gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies could defeat them. Yahweh gave all their enemies into their hand.
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.
Not one thing among all the good promises that Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel failed to come true. All of them came to be.
