1 Khokhuen 24
1 Aaron koca rhoek kah a boelnah rhoek la, Aaron koca ah Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar.
These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Tedae Nadab neh Abihu tah a napa rhoek hmai ah duek rhoi. Amih rhoi te ca tongpa a om pawt dongah Eleazar neh Ithamar te khosoih rhoi.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 Amih khaw David loh ana tael coeng tih Eleazar koca lamkah Zadok neh Ithamar koca lamkah Ahimelek tah amih kah thothuengnah dongah amih aka cawhkung la a khueh.
With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.
4 Eleazar koca kah hlang rhoek he Ithamar koca lakah khaw boeilu la muep thoeng. Amih Eleazar koca lamloh a napa imkhui kah boeilu la aka phaeng uh he hlai rhuk lo. Ithamar koca lamkah khaw a napa rhoek imkhui kah te parhet louh.
Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5 Te tlam he hmulung neh amih te a tael uh. Te dongah Eleazar koca lamkah kah neh Ithamar koca lamkah he hmuencim mangpa neh Pathen mangpa la om uh.
Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
6 Amih te Levi lamkah cadaek Nethanel capa Shemaiah loh manghai neh mangpa rhoek, khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar capa Ahimelek, khosoih napa boeilu neh Levi kah mikhmuh ah a daek pah. A napa rhoek imkhui kah te Eleazar lamkah pakhat a loh tih Ithamar lamkah a loh.
The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.
