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.

And the heads of the fathers of the Levites draw nigh unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons 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 they speak unto them in Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, saying, 'Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses to give to us cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for our cattle.'

3 Hivyo, kwa agizo la Yahweh, watu wa Israeli waliwapa Walawi kutoka katika urithi wa wao miji ifuatayo pamoja na maeneo yao ya kuchungia.

And the sons of Israel give to the Levites, out of their inheritance, at the command of Jehovah, these cities and their suburbs:
