Joshua 21
1 The leaders of the tribe of Levi approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the Israelite tribes.
Pođoše tada glavari levitskih obitelji k svećeniku Eleazaru i Jošui, sinu Nunovu, i plemenskim glavarima Izraela.
2 They spoke to them at Shiloh in Canaan, saying, “The Lord gave instructions through Moses to give us towns to live in, and pastures for our flocks.”
I rekoše im u Šilu, u zemlji kanaanskoj: “Jahve je zapovjedio preko Mojsija da nam se dadu gradovi gdje ćemo živjeti i pašnjaci oko njih za našu stoku.”
3 So, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
Izraelci dadoše levitima od svoje baštine, po zapovijedi Jahvinoj, ove gradove s njihovim pašnjacima.
4 The lot was cast for the families of the Kothaites. These Levites, descendants of Aaron, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
Iziđe, dakle, ždrijeb za porodice Kehatove: levitima, potomcima svećenika Arona, pripade trinaest gradova od plemena Judina, Šimunova i Benjaminova;
5 The remaining families of the descendants of Kothah were allotted ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
ostalim sinovima Kehatovim pripalo je ždrijebom po porodicama deset gradova od plemena Efrajimova i Danova i od polovine plemena Manašeova.
6 The families of the descendants of Gershon were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh living in Bashan.
Sinovi Geršonovi dobiše po porodicama trinaest gradova od plemena Jisakarova, Ašerova i Naftalijeva i od polovine plemena Manašeova u Bašanu.
7 The families of the descendants of Merari were allotted twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Merarijevim sinovima po njihovim porodicama pripalo je dvanaest gradova od plemena Rubenova, Gadova i Zebulunova.
8 So the Israelites gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed through Moses.
Tako Izraelci ždrijebom dodijeliše levitima te gradove s pašnjacima, kako bijaše zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.
9 They gave from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon the following towns, specifically named,
Od plemena sinova Judinih i od plemena sinova Šimunovih dodijeljeni su bili ovi gradovi koji se poimence navode:
10 to the families of the Kothaites, descendants of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, since the first lot fell to them:
sinovima Aronovim u levitskim porodicama Kehatovim, jer je prvi ždrijeb bio za njih,
11 Kiriath-arba (or Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, together with the pastures around it. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
pripade Kirjat-Arba, glavni grad Anakovaca, to jest Hebron, u Judinoj gori, s pašnjacima unaokolo.
12 But the more distant fields from the town and the villages had been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh to own.
Ali polja oko toga grada sa selima unaokolo bila su već dana u baštinu Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu.

34 The families of the descendants of Merari, those remaining from the tribe of Levi, received the following four towns and their pastures from the tribe of Zebulun: Jokneam, Kartah,
Porodicama sinova Merarijevih, preostalim levitima, dali su od plemena Zebulunova: Jokneam s pašnjacima, Kartu s pašnjacima,
35 Dimnah, and Nahalal.
Rimon s pašnjacima, Nahalal s pašnjacima. Dakle, četiri grada.

U svemu bijaše dodijeljeno ždrijebom porodicama sinova Merarijevih, preostalim levitima, dvanaest gradova.
41 The Levites received a total of forty-eight towns and pastures within the land of the Israelites.
Tako usred baštine sinova Izraelovih bijaše četrdeset i osam levitskih gradova s pašnjacima.
42 Each of these towns had pastures around them.
Svaki je taj grad imao pašnjake unaokolo. Tako je bilo sa svima spomenutim gradovima.
43 And so the Lord gave to the Israelites all the land he had promised their ancestors. They took possession of it and settled there.
Tako je Jahve predao Izraelcima svu zemlju za koju se zakleo da će je dati ocima njihovim. Primili su je u posjed i nastanili se u njoj.
44 The Lord gave them peace on every side as he had promised their ancestors. Not a single one of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord had handed their enemies over to them to defeat.
I dade im Jahve da otpočinu u miru na svim međama, kako se bijaše zakleo njihovim ocima. Nitko im od njihovih neprijatelja ne bijaše kadar odoljeti. Sve im je njihove neprijatelje predao Jahve u ruke.
45 Not a single one of the good things the Lord promised Israel had failed; everything had come true.
Od svih obećanja što ih je Jahve dao domu Izraelovu nijedno ne osta neispunjeno. Sve se ispunilo.
