Yeşu 21

¹Ve Levi oğullarının klan liderleri, Kâhin Eleazar’a, Nun oğlu Yeşu’ya ve İsrail oymaklarının klanlarının kabile liderlerine yaklaştılar.

²Ve Kenan diyarındaki Şilo’da onlara şöyle dediler: “Rab, içinde yaşayacağımız kentleri ve hayvanlarımız için otlakları bize vermenizi Musa’nın eliyle buyurmuştu.”

³Bunun üzerine İsrail oğulları, Rab’bin buyruğu uyarınca, miras bölüşümü sırasında bu kentleri ve otlaklarını Levililere verdiler.

⁴Ve Kehat klanı için kura çekildi; Levililerden kâhinler olan Harun’un oğullarına Yahuda oymağından, Şimon oymağından ve Benyamin oymağından kura ile on üç kent düştü.

⁵Ve Kehat’ın geride kalan diğer oğullarına Efrayim oymağından, Dan oymağından ve Manasse oymağının yarısından kura ile on kent düştü.

⁶Ve Gerşon oğullarına İssakar oymağından, Aşer oymağından, Naftali oymağından ve Başan’daki Manasse oymağının yarısından on üç kent düştü.

⁷Ve Merari oğullarına kendi klanlarına göre Ruben oymağından, Gad oymağından ve Zevulun oymağından kura ile on iki kent düştü.

⁸Ve İsrail oğulları, Rab’bin Musa’ya buyurduğu şekilde, bu kentleri ve otlaklarını kura ile Levililere verdiler.

⁹Ve Yahuda oğulları oymağından, Şimon oğulları oymağından ve Benyamin oğulları oymağından şu kentleri verdiler ve bunlar adlarıyla çağrıldılar:

¹⁰Bu kentler, Levi oğullarından Kehat klanına ait Harun oğullarına düştü; çünkü kura onlara çıkmıştı.

¹¹Ve onlara Yahuda’nın dağlık bölgesinde, Enaklıların ana kenti olan Karyat-Arbok’u (yani Hebron’u) ve çevresindeki otlakları verdiler.

¹²Ancak kentin tarlalarını ve köylerini Yeşu, mülk olarak Yefunne oğlu Kaleb’in oğullarına verdi.

¹³Ve Harun’un oğullarına katil için sığınak kenti olan Hebron’u ve onunla birlikte tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Lemna’yı ve onun yanındaki tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler;

¹⁶Asa’yı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Tany’yi ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Beyt-Şemeş’i ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri; bu iki oymağın payından dokuz kent verdiler.

¹⁸Anatot’u ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Gamala’yı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler; dört kent.

²¹Ve onlara katil için sığınak kenti olan Şekem’i ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Gezer’i, onun çevresini ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler;

²⁴Elon’u ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Gete-Rimmon’u ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler; dört kent.

²⁵Manasse oymağının yarısından Taanak’ı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Yevata’yı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler; iki kent.

²⁶Kehat oğullarının geride kalan klanları için bütün bu kentler ve yanlarındaki tahsis edilmiş yerleri toplam on kentti.

²⁷Ve Levililerden Gerşon oğullarına, Manasse oymağının diğer yarısından katiller için tahsis edilmiş kentler olan Başan bölgesindeki Golan’ı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Bosora’yı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler; iki kent.

³²Naftali oymağından katil için tahsis edilmiş kent olan Galile’deki Kadeş’i ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Emmat’ı ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri, Temmon’u ve ona tahsis edilmiş yerleri verdiler; üç kent.

³³Gerşonluların klanlarına göre bütün kentleri on üç kentti.

³⁴Geri kalan Levili Merari oğullarının klanına, Zevulun oymağından Maan’ı ve otlaklarını, Kadeş’i ve otlaklarını,

³⁵Sella’yı ve otlaklarını verdiler; üç kent.

³⁶Şeria Irmağı’nın ötesinde, Eriha’nın karşısında, Ruben oymağından katil için sığınak kenti olan çöldeki Misor ovasında bulunan Bosor’u ve otlaklarını, Yazer’i ve otlaklarını,

³⁹Heşbon’u ve otlaklarını, Yazer’i ve otlaklarını verdiler; hepsi dört kent.

⁴⁰Levi oymağından geride kalmış olan Merari oğullarının klanlarına göre bütün kentleri bunlardı; onlara düşen sınır on iki kentti.

⁴¹İsrail oğullarının mülkiyetinin ortasında Levililerin bütün kentleri, çevrelerindeki otlaklarıyla birlikte kırk sekiz kentti.

⁴²Bu kentlerin her birinin çevresinde kendi otlakları vardı; bütün bu kentler böyleydi.

⁰42a Ve Yeşu, ülkeyi sınırlarına göre bölüştürmeyi bitirdi.

⁰42b Ve İsrail oğulları, Rab’bin buyruğu uyarınca Yeşu’ya bir pay verdiler; ona kendisi için istediği kenti, Efrayim’in dağlık bölgesindeki Timnat-Serah’ı verdiler.

⁰42c Ve Yeşu kenti inşa edip orada yaşadı.

⁰42d Ve Yeşu, çölde yolda doğan İsrail oğullarını sünnet ettiği taştan bıçakları alıp Timnat-Serah’a koydu.

⁴³Böylece Rab, atalarına vereceğine ant içtiği bütün toprağı İsrail’e verdi; onlar da onu miras edinip oraya yerleştiler.

⁴⁴Ve Rab, atalarına ant içtiği gibi, onları her taraftan rahata kavuşturdu. Düşmanlarından hiçbiri onların önünde duramadı; Rab bütün düşmanlarını onların eline teslim etti.

⁴⁵Rab’bin İsrail oğullarına söylediği iyi sözlerin hiçbirisi boşa çıkmadı; hepsi gerçekleşti.

⁴²πόλις καὶ τὰ περισπόρια κύκλῳ τῆς πόλεως πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι ταύταις. 42α Καὶ συνετέλεσεν ᾿Ιησοῦς διαμερίσας τὴν γῆν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν. 42β καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ μερίδα τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ κατὰ πρόσταγμα Κυρίου· ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ᾐτήσατο· τὴν Θαμνασαρὰχ ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει ᾿Εφραίμ. 42γ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ᾿Ιησοῦς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν αὐτῇ. 42δ καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ιησοῦς τὰς μαχαίρας τὰς πετρίνας, ἐν αἷς περιέτεμε τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τοὺς γενομένους ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰς ἐν Θαμνασαράχ.

⁴³Καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσε δοῦναι τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατεκληρονόμησαν αὐτὴν καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ.

⁴⁴καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος κυκλόθεν, καθὰ ὤμοσε τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν· οὐκ ἀντέστη οὐθεὶς κατενώπιον αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν· πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν παρέδωκε Κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.

⁴⁵οὐ διέπεσεν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ῥημάτων τῶν καλῶν, ὧν ἐλάλησε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ· πάντα παρεγένετο.

¹And the heads of the families of the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the [son] of Naue, and to the heads of families of the tribes of Israel.

²And they spoke to them in Selo in the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle.

³So the children of Israel gave to the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities and the country round.

⁴And the lot came out for the children of Caath; and the sons of Aaron, the priests the Levites, had by lot thirteen cities out of the tribe of Juda, and out of the tribe of Symeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin.

⁵And to the sons of Caath that were left were [given by] lot ten cities, out of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasse.

⁶And the sons of Gedson had thirteen cities, out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Aser, and out of the tribe of Nephthali, and out of the half tribe of Manasse in Basan.

⁷And the sons of Merari according to their families had by lot twelve cities, out of the tribe of Ruben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zabulon.

⁸And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot.

⁹And the tribe of the children of Juda, and the tribe of the children of Symeon, and [part] of the tribe of the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned

¹⁰to the sons of Aaron of the family of Caath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these.

¹¹And they gave to them Cariatharboc the metropolis of the sons of Enac; this is Chebron in the mountain [country] of Juda, and the suburbs round it.

¹²But the lands of the city, and its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne for a possession.

¹³And to the sons of Aaron he gave the city of refuge for the slayer, Chebron, and the suburbs belonging to it; and Lemna and the suburbs belonging to it;

¹⁴and Aelom and its suburbs; and Tema and its suburbs;

¹⁵and Gella and its suburbs; and Dabir and its suburbs;

¹⁶and Asa and its suburbs; and Tany and its suburbs; and Baethsamys and its suburbs: nine cities from these two tribes.

¹⁷And from the tribe of Benjamin, Gabaon and its suburbs; and Gatheth and its suburbs;

¹⁸and Anathoth and its suburbs; and Gamala and its suburbs; four cities.

¹⁹All the cities of the sons of Aaron the priests, thirteen.

²⁰And to the families, [even] the sons of Caath the Levites, that were left of the sons of Caath, there was [given] their priests’ city,

²¹out of the tribe of Ephraim; and they gave them the slayer’s city of refuge, Sychem, and its suburbs, and Gazara and its appendages, and its suburbs;

²²and Baethoron and its suburbs: four cities:

²³and the tribe of Dan, Helcothaim and its suburbs; and Gethedan and its suburbs:

²⁴and Aelon and its suburbs; and Getheremmon and its suburbs: four cities.

²⁵And out of the half tribe of Manasse, Tanach and its suburbs; and Jebatha and its suburbs; two cities.

²⁶In all [were given] ten cities, and the suburbs of each belonging to them, to the families of the sons of Caath that remained.

²⁷And [Joshua gave] to the sons of Gedson the Levites out of the other half tribe of Manasse cities set apart for the slayers, Gaulon in the country of Basan, and its suburbs; and Bosora and its suburbs; two cities.

²⁸And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kison and its suburbs; and Debba and its suburbs;

²⁹and Remmath and its suburbs; and the well of Letters, and its suburbs; four cities.

³⁰And out of the tribe of Aser, Basella and its suburbs; and Dabbon and its suburbs;

³¹and Chelcat and its suburbs; and Raab and its suburbs; four cities.

³²And of the tribe of Nephthali, the city set apart for the slayer, Cades in Galilee, and its suburbs; and Emmath, and its suburbs; and Themmon and its suburbs; three cities.

³³All the cities of Gedson according to their families [were] thirteen cities.

³⁴And to the family of the sons of Merari the Levites that remained, [he gave] out of the tribe of Zabulon, Maan and its suburbs; and Cades and its suburbs,

³⁵and Sella and its suburbs: three cities.

³⁶And beyond Jordan over against Jericho, out of the tribe of Ruben, the city of refuge for the slayer, Bosor in the wilderness; Misor and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs;

³⁷and Decmon and its suburbs; and Mapha and its suburbs; four cities.

³⁸And out of the tribe of Gad the city of refuge for the slayer, both Ramoth in Galaad, and its suburbs; Camin and its suburbs;

³⁹and Esbon and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs: the cities [were] four in all.

⁴⁰All [these] cities [were given] to the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities.

⁴¹All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, [were] forty-eight cities, and their suburbs round about these cities:

⁴²a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities: and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders: and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasarah in mount Ephraim; and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it: and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasarah.

⁴³So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and dwelt in it.

⁴⁴And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.

⁴⁵There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
