1 أخبار 24

١ 1 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ فِرَقُ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ هرُونَ: أَوْلادُهُ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ.

Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron: The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.

٢ 2 وَمَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِمَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا أَبْنَاءً، فَصَارَ أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ كَاهِنَيْنِ.

But Nadab and Abiu died before their father, and had no children: so Eleazar, and Ithamar did the office of the priesthood.

٣ 3 وَقَسَمَ دَاوُدُ وَصَادُوقُ مِنْ نَسْلِ أَلِعَازَارَ وَأَخِيمَالِكُ مِنْ نَسْلِ إِيثَامَارَ، ذُرِّيَّةَ هرُونَ بِمُوْجِبِ الْخَدَمَاتِ الَّتِي أُوْكِلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ.

And David distributed them, that is, Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry.

٤ 4 وَإِذْ كَانَ قَادَةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ أَكْثَرَ عَدَداً مِنْ قَادَةِ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ، تَمَّ تَقْسِيمُهُمْ وَفْقاً لأَعْدَادِهِمْ، فَكَانَ هُنَاكَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رَئِيساً لِبُيُوتِ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ، وَثَمَانِيَةُ رُؤَسَاءَ لِبُيُوتِ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ.

And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families: and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.

٥ 5 وَقَسَمُوا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ بِالْقُرْعَةِ فَاخْتَلَطُوا مَعاً، وَأَصْبَحَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْقُدْسِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ بَيْتِ اللهِ يَتَشَكَّلُونَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ وِمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ.

And he divided both the families one with the other by lot: for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

٦ 6 وَدَوَّنَ شَمَعْيَا بْنُ نَثَنْئِيلَ الكَاتِبُ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي أَسْمَاءَهُمْ فِي حُضُورِ الْمَلِكِ وَالْقَادَةِ وَصَادُوقَ الكَاهِنِ وَأَخِيمَالِكَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِ الكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، فَاخْتِيرَتْ عَائِلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ، وَعَائِلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، مِنْ بَنِي إِيِثَامَارَ.

And Semeias the son of Nathanael the scribe a Levite, wrote them down before the king and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the princes also of the priestly and Levitical families: one house, which was over the rest, of Eleazar: and another house, which had the rest under it, of Ithamar.

٧ 7 وَوَقَعَتِ القُرْعَةُ الأُولَى عِنْدَ إِلْقَائِهَا لِيَهُويَارِيبَ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ لِيَدْعِيَا.
