Joshua 21
1 While Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of all the Israeli tribes were at Shiloh, the leaders of the clans of the tribe of Levi went to them and said, “Yahweh commanded Moses that you should give us towns where we can have pasture/fields/grassland for our animals, [but you have not done these things yet].”
Leeviläisten perhekunta-päämiehet astuivat pappi Eleasarin ja Joosuan, Nuunin pojan, eteen ja israelilaisten sukukuntien perhekunta-päämiesten eteen
ja puhuivat heille Siilossa Kanaanin maassa, sanoen: "Herra käski Mooseksen kautta antaa meille kaupunkeja asuaksemme ja niiden laidunmaat karjaamme varten".
3 So the Israeli leaders obeyed this command from Yahweh. They agreed to give towns and pasturelands to the tribe of Levi.
Niin israelilaiset antoivat leeviläisille perintöosastaan Herran käskyn mukaan nämä kaupungit laidunmaineen:
4 [First] they allotted some cities to the Kohath clans, who belonged to the tribe of Levi. To those who were descendants of the first Supreme Priest Aaron, they allotted 13 towns in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
Arpa tuli kehatilaisten suvuille niin, että leeviläisistä pappi Aaronin jälkeläiset saivat arvalla Juudan sukukunnalta, Simeonin sukukunnalta ja Benjaminin sukukunnalta kolmetoista kaupunkia.
5 To the other members of the Kohath clan they allotted ten cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh [that lives on the west side of the Jordan River].
Mutta muut kehatilaiset saivat arvalla Efraimin sukukunnan suvuilta, Daanin sukukunnalta ja toiselta puolelta Manassen sukukuntaa kymmenen kaupunkia.
6 The people from the Gershon clans were allotted 13 cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the part of the tribe of Manasseh that lives on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Geersonilaiset saivat arvalla Isaskarin sukukunnan suvuilta, Asserin sukukunnalta ja Naftalin sukukunnalta, sekä toiselta puolelta Manassen sukukuntaa Baasanista, kolmetoista kaupunkia.
7 The people from the Merari clans were allotted twelve cities in the areas that had been allotted to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
Merarilaiset, heidän sukunsa, saivat Ruubenin sukukunnalta, Gaadin sukukunnalta ja Sebulonin sukukunnalta kaksitoista kaupunkia.
8 So the Israeli leaders gave cities and pastureland to the tribe of Levi, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses that they should do.
Israelilaiset antoivat arvalla leeviläisille nämä kaupungit laidunmaineen, niinkuin Herra oli Mooseksen kautta käskenyt.
9 These are the names of the cities and surrounding pasturelands that were allotted to them, that were in the areas where the tribes of Judah and Simeon lived.

Kaikkiaan oli leeviläisten kaupunkeja israelilaisten perintömaassa neljäkymmentä kahdeksan kaupunkia laidunmaineen.
42 and each city had surrounding pastureland.
Näihin kaupunkeihin kuului kuhunkin itse kaupunki ja sen ympärillä olevat laidunmaat; sellaisia olivat kaikki nämä kaupungit.
43 In that way Yahweh allotted to the Israeli people all the land that he had promised to give to their/our ancestors. The Israeli people took control of [most of] those areas and started to live there.
Niin Herra antoi Israelille koko sen maan, jonka hän oli vannonut antavansa heidän isilleen; ja he ottivat sen omaksensa ja asettuivat siihen.
44 Just like he had promised our ancestors, Yahweh allowed them/us to have peace with the enemies that surrounded them/us. Yahweh enabled the Israelis/us to defeat their/our enemies.
Ja Herra soi heidän päästä rauhaan kaikkialla, aivan niinkuin hän valalla vannoen oli luvannut heidän isillensä; eikä yksikään heidän vihollisistaan kestänyt heidän edessään, vaan kaikki heidän vihollisensa Herra antoi heidän käsiinsä.
45 Yahweh did all the things that he had promised to the Israeli people/us. Everything that he said would happen did happen.
Ei jäänyt täyttämättä ainoakaan kaikista niistä lupauksista, jotka Herra oli antanut Israelin heimolle, vaan kaikki toteutui.
