< Yoshua 21 >

1 Kisha wakuu wa koo za Walawi walimwendea Eliazari kuhani, na kwa Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na kwa viongozi wa familia za mababu zao miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli.
Then came the principall fathers of the Leuites vnto Eleazar the Priest, and vnto Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and vnto the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,
2 Waliwaambia, “Yahweh aliwaagizeni ninyi kwa mkono wa Musa kwamba mtupatieni miji ya kuishi yenye maeneo kwa ajili ya kuchungia ya mifugo.” waliyasema haya huko Shilo katika nchi ya Kanaani.
And spake vnto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hande of Moses, to giue vs cities to dwell in, with the suburbes thereof for our cattell.
3 Hivyo, kwa agizo la Yahweh, watu wa Israeli waliwapa Walawi kutoka katika urithi wa wao miji ifuatayo pamoja na maeneo yao ya kuchungia.
So the children of Israel gaue vnto the Leuites, out of their inheritance at the commandement of the Lord these cities with their suburbes.
