Hohua 21

1 Na ka whakatata mai nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti ki a Ereatara tohunga, ki a Hohua tama a Nunu, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira;

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 A ka korero ki a ratou i Hiro, i te whenua o Kanaana, ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa, na Mohi i whakapuaki, kia homai ki a matou etahi pa hei nohoanga, me nga wahi o waho ake mo a matou kararehe.

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 Katahi ka hoatu e nga tama a Iharaira i roto i o ratou wahi enei pa me nga wahi o waho ake ki nga Riwaiti, ko ta Ihowa hoki ia i ki ai.

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 Na ka puta ake te rota, ko to nga hapu o nga Kohati: a i riro i nga tama a Arona tohunga, i era o nga Riwaiti, tekau ma toru nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o te iwi o Hura, no roto i o te iwi o Himiona, no roto hoki i o te iwi o Peineamine.

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 Na i riro i era atu o nga tama a Kohata tekau nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o nga hapu o te iwi o Eparaima, no roto i o te iwi o Rana, no roto hoki i o tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi.

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 A i riro i nga tama a Kerehona kotahi tekau ma toru nga pa, he mea rota, no roto i o nga hapu o te iwi o Ihakara, no roto i o te iwi o Ahera, no roto i o te iwi o Napatari, no roto hoki i o tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi i Pahana.

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 A i riro i nga tama a Merari, i o ratou hapu, kotahi tekau ma rua nga pa, no roto i o te iwi o Reupena, no roto i o te iwi o Kara, no roto hoki i o te iwi o Hepurona.

The people who were descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

8 Na hoatu ana e nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti, he mea rota, enei pa, me nga wahi o waho ake, he mea pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, i whakapuakina e Mohi.

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 A i hoatu e ratou i roto i o te iwi o nga tama a Hura, i o te iwi hoki o nga tama a Himiona, enei pa ka whakahuatia nei nga ingoa;

From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they assigned land to the following cities, here listed by name.

10 A i riro i nga tama a Arona, ara i nga hapu o nga Kohati, he tama nei ratou na Riwai: no ratou hoki te rota tuatahi.

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 I hoatu ano ki a ratou a Kiriata Arapa, ko taua Arapa nei te papa o Anaka, ara o Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura, me ona wahi o waho ake a tawhio noa.

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 Ko nga mara ia o te pa, me ona kainga, i hoatu e ratou ki a Karepe tama a Iepune hei kainga tupu mona.

But the fields of the city, including their villages, were already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.

13 Na hoatu ana e ratou ki nga tama a te tohunga, a Arona, a Heperona me ona wahi o waho ake, hei pa rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, a Ripina hoki, me ona wahi o waho ake;

The cities given to the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were thirteen cities in all, including their pasturelands.

20 Na i riro i nga hapu o nga tama a Kohata, i nga Riwaiti, ara i era atu o nga tama a Kohata, he mea rota, nga pa no roto i to te iwi o Eparaima.

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.

21 A i hoatu e ratou a Hekeme i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima ki a ratou, me ona wahi o waho ake, hei pa rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, a Ketere hoki me ona wahi o waho ake;

The cities of the Levites taken from the middle of the land possessed by the people of Israel were forty-eight cities, including their pasturelands.

42 I riro enei pa me nga wahi o waho ake o tenei, o tenei, a tawhio noa: na i penei enei pa katoa.

These cities each had its surrounding pasturelands. It was this way with all these cities.

43 Na ka homai e Ihowa ki a Iharaira te whenua katoa i oati ai ia kia homai ki o ratou matua: a ka riro a reira i a ratou, a ka nohoia e ratou.

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 Na ka meinga ratou e Ihowa kia whai okiokinga a tawhio noa, i pera me ana katoa i oati ai ki o ratou matua: a kihai rawa tetahi tangata o o ratou hoariri katoa i tu ki to ratou aroaro; i homai e Ihowa o ratou hoariri katoa ki o ratou ringa.

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 Kihai rawa i taka tetahi kupu o nga kupu pai katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki te whare o Iharaira; i mana katoa.

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.
