Joshua, 21

1. And the leaders of the families of Levi approached Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the rulers of the extended families of each of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

1. Poðoše tada glavari levitskih obitelji k sveæeniku Eleazaru i Jošui, sinu Nunovu, i plemenskim glavarima Izraela.

2. And they spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, and they said, “The Lord instructed, by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given to us as habitations, with their suburbs to nourish our cattle.”

2. I rekoše im u Šilu, u zemlji kanaanskoj: "Jahve je zapovjedio preko Mojsija da nam se dadu gradovi gdje æemo živjeti i pašnjaci oko njih za našu stoku."

3. And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with the order of the Lord.

3. Izraelci dadoše levitima od svoje baštine, po zapovijedi Jahvinoj, ove gradove s njihovim pašnjacima.

4. And the lot went out for the family of Kohath, of the sons of Aaron, the priest, from the tribes of Judah and Simeon and Benjamin: thirteen cities.

4. Iziðe, dakle, ždrijeb za porodice Kehatove: levitima, potomcima sveæenika Arona, pripade trinaest gradova od plemena Judina, Šimunova i Benjaminova;

5. And to the remainder of the sons of Kohath, that is, to the Levites who were left over, there went, from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

5. ostalim sinovima Kehatovim pripalo je ždrijebom po porodicama deset gradova od plemena Efrajimova i Danova i od polovine plemena Manašeova.

6. And next the lot went out to the sons of Gershon, so that they would receive, from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh at Bashan: the number of thirteen cities.

6. Sinovi Geršonovi dobiše po porodicama trinaest gradova od plemena Jisakarova, Ašerova i Naftalijeva i od polovine plemena Manašeova u Bašanu.

7. And to the sons of Merari, by their families, from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun, there went twelve cities.

7. Merarijevim sinovima po njihovim porodicama pripalo je dvanaest gradova od plemena Rubenova, Gadova i Zebulunova.

8. And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs to the Levites, just as the Lord instructed by the hand of Moses, distributing to each by lot.

8. Tako Izraelci ždrijebom dodijeliše levitima te gradove s pašnjacima, kako bijaše zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.

9. From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:

9. Od plemena sinova Judinih i od plemena sinova Šimunovih dodijeljeni su bili ovi gradovi koji se poimence navode:

10. to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them,)

10. sinovima Aronovim u levitskim porodicama Kehatovim, jer je prvi ždrijeb bio za njih,

11. the city of Arba, the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, on the mountain of Judah, and its surrounding suburbs.

11. pripade Kirjat-Arba, glavni grad Anakovaca, to jest Hebron, u Judinoj gori, s pašnjacima unaokolo.

12. Yet truly, the fields and its villages he had given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as a possession.

12. Ali polja oko toga grada sa selima unaokolo bila su veæ dana u baštinu Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu.

13. Therefore, he gave to the sons of Aaron the priest, Hebron as a city of refuge, as well as its suburbs, and Libnah, with its suburbs,

13. Sinovima sveæenika Arona pripade grad-utoèište Hebron s pašnjacima i Libna s pašnjacima;

14. and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,

14. Jatir s pašnjacima, Eštemoa s pašnjacima,

15. and Holon, and Debir,

15. Holon s pašnjacima, Debir s pašnjacima,

16. and Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their suburbs: nine cities from two tribes, just as has been said.

16. Ašan s pašnjacima, Juta s pašnjacima, Bet-Šemeš s pašnjacima. Dakle, devet gradova od ona dva plemena.

17. Then, from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,

17. Od plemena Benjaminova: Gibeon s pašnjacima, Geba s pašnjacima,

18. and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs: four cities.

18. Anatot s pašnjacima, Almon s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

19. All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.

19. Tako su sveæenici, sinovi Aronovi, dobili svega trinaest gradova s njihovim pašnjacima.

20. Yet truly, the remainder of the families of the sons of Kohath, of the stock of Levi, were given this possession:

20. Ostalim levitima u porodicama sinova Kehatovih ždrijebom su pripali gradovi plemena Efrajimova.

21. from the tribe of Ephraim, Shechem, one of the cities of refuge, with its suburbs, on mount Ephraim, and Gezer,

21. Dali su im grad-utoèište Šekem s pašnjacima njegovim na Efrajimovoj gori, zatim Gezer s pašnjacima,

22. and Kibzaim, and Beth-horon, with their suburbs, four cities;

22. Kibsajim s pašnjacima, Bet-Horon s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

23. and from the tribe of Dan, Elteke and Gibbethon,

23. Od plemena Danova dobili su: Elteku s pašnjacima i Gibeton s pašnjacima,

24. and Aijalon and Gath-Rimmon, with their suburbs, four cities;

24. Ajalon s pašnjacima i Gat-Rimon s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

25. then, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and Gath-Rimmon, with their suburbs, two cities.

25. Od polovine plemena Manašeova: Tanak s pašnjacima i Jibleam s pašnjacima. Dakle, dva grada.

26. All the cities were ten, with their suburbs; these were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lesser degree.

26. U svemu: deset su gradova s pašnjacima dobile porodice ostalih sinova Kehatovih.

27. Likewise, to the sons of Gershon, of the stock of Levi, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, went Golan in Bashan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities;

27. Geršonovim sinovima, porodicama levitskim, dadoše od polovine plemena Manašeova grad-utoèište Golan u Bašanu i Aštarot s njihovim pašnjacima. Dakle, dva grada.

28. also, from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, and Daberath,

28. Od plemena Jisakarova: Kišon s pašnjacima, Dabrat s pašnjacima,

29. and Jarmuth, and Engannim, with their suburbs, four cities;

29. Jarmut s pašnjacima i En-Ganim s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

30. then, from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon,

30. Od plemena Ašerova: Mišal s pašnjacima, Abdon s pašnjacima,

31. and Helkath and Rehob, with their suburbs, four cities;

31. Helkat s pašnjacima i Rehob s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

32. likewise, from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee, one of the cities of refuge, and Hammoth-Dor, and Kartan, with their suburbs, three cities.

32. Od plemena Naftalijeva: grad-utoèište Kedeš u Galileji s pašnjacima, Hamot Dor s pašnjacima i Kartan s pašnjacima. Dakle, tri grada.

33. All the cities of the families of Gershon were thirteen, with their suburbs.

33. Svega Geršonovih gradova po porodicama njihovim bijaše trinaest gradova s pašnjacima.

34. Then, to the sons of Merari, Levites of the lesser degree, by their families, were given, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah,

34. Porodicama sinova Merarijevih, preostalim levitima, dali su od plemena Zebulunova: Jokneam s pašnjacima, Kartu s pašnjacima,

35. and Dimnah and Nahalal, four cities with their suburbs;

35. Rimon s pašnjacima, Nahalal s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

36. from the tribe of Reuben, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho, Bezer in the wilderness, one of the cities of refuge, Misor and Jazer, and Jethson and Mephaath, four cities with their suburbs;

36. S onu stranu Jordana od plemena Rubenova dadoše im grad-utoèište Beser s pašnjacima na pustinjskoj visoravni, Jahas s pašnjacima,

37. from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth of Gilead, one of the cities of refuge, and Mahanaim and Heshbon and Jazer, four cities with their suburbs.

37. Kedemot s pašnjacima, Mefaat s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

38. All the cities of the sons of Merari, by their families and extended families, were twelve.

38. Od plemena Gadova: grad-utoèište Ramot u Gileadu s pašnjacima, Mahanajim s pašnjacima,

39. And so all the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight,

39. Hešbon s pašnjacima, Jazer s pašnjacima. Dakle, èetiri grada.

40. with their suburbs, each distributed by families.

40. U svemu bijaše dodijeljeno ždrijebom porodicama sinova Merarijevih, preostalim levitima, dvanaest gradova.

41. And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn he would deliver to their fathers. And they possessed it, and they lived in it.

41. Tako usred baštine sinova Izraelovih bijaše èetrdeset i osam levitskih gradova s pašnjacima.

42. And he gave them peace with all the surrounding nations. And none of their enemies dared to stand against them; instead, they were brought under their sovereignty.

42. Svaki je taj grad imao pašnjake unaokolo. Tako je bilo sa svima spomenutim gradovima.

43. Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.

43. Tako je Jahve predao Izraelcima svu zemlju za koju se zakleo da æe je dati ocima njihovim. Primili su je u posjed i nastanili se u njoj.

44.

44. I dade im Jahve da otpoèinu u miru na svim meðama, 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.

45. Od svih obeæanja što ih je Jahve dao domu Izraelovu nijedno ne osta neispunjeno. Sve se ispunilo.
