1 Elane egaga fi da agoane galu. Elane egefelali da Na: ida: be, Abaihiu, Elia: isa amola Idama.
The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Na: ida: be amola Abaihiu da elea ada mae bogole, ela hidadea bogoi. Elagaga fi hameba: le, elea eya Elia: isa amola Idama da gobele salasu dunu hamoi.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.
3 hina bagade Da: ibidi da Elane egaga fi ilima ilia hawa: hamosu defele momogili ilegei. Sa: idoge (Elia: isa egaga fi dunu) amola Ahimelege (Idama egaga fi dunu) ela da Da: ibidi fidi.
With the help of Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ithamar, a descendant Ahimelech, David placed them in divisions according to their appointed duties.
4 Da: ibidi da Elia: isa egaga fi dunu momogili, gilisisu gilisi agoane hamoi, amola Idama egaga fi dunu momogili, gilisisu godoane agoane hamoi. Bai Elia: isa egaga fi dunumusu ilia idi da Idama egaga fi dunumusu ilia idi baligi.
Because Eleazar's descendants had more leaders than those of Ithamar, they were divided like this: sixteen family leaders from the descendants of Eleazar, and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5 Elia: isa amola Idama elagaga fi dunu mogili da Debolo Diasu ouligisu dunu amola Gode Ea hou ouligisu dunu esalu. Amaiba: le, ilia da ilia hawa: hamosu ilegema: ne, ululuasu.
They were divided by casting lots, without preference, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God from both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
6 Elia: isa amola Idama elagaga fi dunu huluane da afae afae ululuala heheda: fusu. Amalalu, Lifai sia: dedesu dunu Siemaia (Nida: niele egefe) da ilia dio dedene legei. Hina bagade Da: ibidi, ea eagene ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu Sa: idoge, Abaia: da egefe Ahimelege amola gobele salasu sosogo fi amola Lifai fi ilia fada: i, amo huluane da ba: su dunu hamoi.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, was the secretary. He wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. One family from Eleazar and one from Ithamar were chosen in turn.

This was the order in which each group were to serve when they came into the house of the Lord, following the procedure defined for them by their forefather Aaron, as instructed by the Lord, the God of Israel.

They also cast lots in the same way their relatives the descendants of Aaron did. They did this in the presence of King David, and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the family leaders of the priests and of the Levites, the family leaders and their youngest brothers alike.
