यहोशू 21

1 त्यसपछि लेवी कुलका कुलनायकहरू पुजारी एलाजार, नूनका छोरा यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूभित्रका तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूको परिवारहरूका अगुवाहरूकहाँ आए ।

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 तिनीहरूले कनानको भूमिमा शीलोमा तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा हाम्रा गाईवस्तुहरूका निम्ति खर्कसहितका बसोबास गर्न हामीलाई सहरहरू दिन आज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो ।”

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 त्यसैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञाद्वारा लेवीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका खर्कहरूसहित तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकारबाट निम्‍न सहरहरू दिए ।

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 कहातीहरूका निम्ति हालेको चिट्ठाको परिणाम यस्तो आयोः लेवीबाट जन्‍मेका हारूनका सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरूले यहूदाको कुलबाट, शिमियोनका कुलबाट र बेन्यामीनको कुलबाट दिइएका तेह्रवटा सहर पाए ।

And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

5 बाँकी कहातीहरूलाई एफ्राइम, दान र मनश्शेको आधा कुलबाट दश सहर दिइयो ।

Every one of these towns had grass-lands round it.

43 यसरी परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको सबै भू-भाग दिनुभयो । इस्राएलीहरूले यो कब्जा गरे र त्यहाँ बसोबास गरे ।

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.

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 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको घरानालाई भन्‍नुभएका सबै असल प्रतिज्ञाहरूमध्ये एउटा पनि सत्य हुन आउनबाट चुकेन । ती सबै नै पुरा हुन आए ।

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.
