Joshua 21

1 Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel

1–2 利未人的众族长到迦南的示罗见祭司以利亚撒、嫩的儿子约书亚和以色列各支派的首领，说：“耶和华借着摩西曾吩咐你们把一些城邑分给我们住，并把城郊的草场给我们牧养牲畜。”

2 at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”

3 So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:

3 以色列人便按照耶和华的吩咐，从他们的产业中把以下的城邑及其草场分给了利未人。

4 The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

4 首先哥辖宗族抽了签。利未人哥辖宗族中大祭司亚伦的子孙从犹大、西缅和便雅悯支派的产业中，抽签得了十三座城。

5 The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

5 哥辖宗族中其他人也从以法莲、但和玛拿西半个支派的产业中，抽签得了十座城。

6 The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

6 革顺的子孙从以萨迦、亚设、拿弗他利和在巴珊的玛拿西半个支派的产业中，抽签得了十三座城。

7 And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.

7 米拉利的子孙按宗族从吕便、迦得和西布伦支派的产业中，抽签得了十二座城。

8 So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

8 以色列人照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，把这些城邑及其草场用抽签的方式分给利未人。

9 From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name

9–10 因为利未支派哥辖宗族中亚伦的子孙抽到第一签，以色列人就从犹大和西缅两支派的产业中点名划出以下城邑分给他们：

10 to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:

11 They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)

11 犹大山区的基列·亚巴及其草场，亚巴原是亚衲人的祖先，基列·亚巴就是希伯仑。

12 But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

12 而城周围的田地和乡村已经分给耶孚尼的儿子迦勒作产业。

13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave these cities, together with their pasturelands: Hebron, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah,

13 以色列人把避难城希伯仑分给祭司亚伦的子孙，并把立拿、

14 Jattir, Eshtemoa,

15 何仑、底璧、

16 Ain, Juttah, and Beth-shemesh—nine cities from these two tribes, together with their pasturelands.

16 亚因、淤他、伯·示麦共九座城及其草场分给了他们。这都是从犹大和西缅两支派分出来的。

17 And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon, Geba,

20 The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim

25 他们从玛拿西半个支派的产业中分到他纳和迦特·临门两座城及其草场。

26 In all, ten cities, together with their pasturelands, were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.

26 以上是哥辖其他子孙所分到的十座城及其草场。

27 This is what the Levite clans of the Gershonites were given: From the half-tribe of Manasseh they were given Golan in Bashan, a city of refuge for the manslayer, and Beeshterah—two cities, together with their pasturelands.

27 以色列人分给利未支派中革顺子孙的城邑有：玛拿西半个支派中巴珊的哥兰避难城和比·施提拉两座城及其草场；

40 In all, twelve cities were allotted to the clans of Merari, the remaining Levite clans.

40 利未人中米拉利的子孙按宗族所分到的城邑共有十二座。

41 For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.

41 利未人从以色列各支派共分到四十八座城及其草场，

42 Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.

42 这些城周围都有草场，城城如此。

43 Thus the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled in it.

43 这样，耶和华把从前起誓要赐给以色列人祖先的整个地区，都赐给了以色列人，以色列人都分到土地，住了下来。

44 And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

44 耶和华照着给他们祖先的应许，使他们四境安宁，没有仇敌能抵挡他们。耶和华将所有仇敌都交在了他们手中。

45 Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.

45 耶和华给以色列人的美好应许没有一句落空，全部实现了。
