1 Chronicles 24

1 The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

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

2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.

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

3 With the help of Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ithamar, a descendant Ahimelech, David placed them in divisions according to their appointed duties.

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

4 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.

٤ 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.

5 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.

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

6 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.

٦ 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.

7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib. The second to Jedaiah.

٧ وَوَقَعَتِ القُرْعَةُ الأُولَى عِنْدَ إِلْقَائِهَا لِيَهُويَارِيبَ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ لِيَدْعِيَا.

8 The third to Harim. The fourth to Seorim.

٨ وَالثَّالِثَةُ لِحَارِيمَ، وَالرَّابِعَةُ لِسَعُورِيمَ.

9 The fifth to Malkijah. The sixth to Mijamin.

٩ وَالخَامِسَةُ لِمَلْكِيَّا، وَالسَّادِسَةُ لِمَيَّامِينَ.

١٠ وَالسَّابِعَةُ لِهُقُّوصَ، وَالثَّامِنَةُ لأَبِيَّا.

11 The ninth to Jeshua. The tenth to Shecaniah.

١١ وَالتَّاسِعَةُ لِيَشُوعَ، وَالعَاشِرَةُ لِشَكُنْيَا.

١٢ وَالحَادِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ لأَلِيَاشِيبَ، والثَّانِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِيَاقِيمَ.

13 The thirteenth to Huppah. The fourteenth to Jeshebeab.

١٣ وَالثَّالِثَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِحُفَّةَ، وَالرَّابِعَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِيَشَبْآبَ.

14 The fifteenth to Bilgah. The sixteenth to Immer.

١٤ وَالْخَامِسَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِبَلْحَةَ، وَالسَّادِسَةُ عَشْرَةَ لإِيمِيرَ.

15 The seventeenth to Hezir. The eighteenth to Happizzez.

١٥ وَالسَّابِعَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِحِيزِيرَ، وَالثَّامِنَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِهَفْصِيصَ.

16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah. The twentieth to Jehezkel.

١٦ وَالتَّاسِعَةُ عَشْرَةَ لِفَقَحْيَا، وَالْعِشْرُونَ لِيَحَزْقِيئِيلَ.

17 The twenty-first to Jakin. The twenty-second to Gamul.

١٧ وَالْحَادِيَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ لِيَاكِينَ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ لِجَامُولَ.

18 The twenty-third to Delaiah. The twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

١٨ وَالثَّالِثَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ لِدَلايَا، وَالرَّابِعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ لِمَعَزْيَا.

19 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.

١٩ هَذَا كَانَ تَرْتِيبَ خَدَمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي كُلِّفُوا بِها عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ بِمُقْتَضَى الْمَرَاسِيمِ الَّتِي حَدَّدَهَا لَهُمْ جَدُّهُمُ الأَكْبَرُ هرُونُ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

20 These were the rest of the sons of Levi: from the sons of Amram: Shubael; from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.

٢٠ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي فَهُمْ: مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ عَمْرَامَ: شُوبَائِيلُ، وَمِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شُوبَائِيلَ يَحَدْيَا.

21 For Rehabiah, from his sons: Isshiah (first).

٢١ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ رَحَبْيَا: الْبِكْرُ يَشِّيَّا.

22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth; from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.

٢٢ وَمِنَ الْيِصْهَارِيِّينَ: شَلُومُوثُ، وَمِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَلُومُوثَ يَحَثُ.

23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah (first), Amariah (second), Jahaziel (third), and Jekameam (fourth).

٢٣ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ حَبْرُونَ: يَرِيَّا الْبِكْرُ وَأَمَرْيَا الثَّانِي وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ الثَّالِثُ وَيَقْمَعَامُ الرَّابِعُ.

24 The son of Uzziel: Micah; from the sons of Micah: Shamir.

٢٦ أَمَّا أَبْناءُ مَرَارِي فَهُمْ: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي، وَيَعَزْيَا.

27 The sons of Merari: from Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.

٢٧ وَكَانَ لِيَعَزْيَا بْنِ مَرَارِي أَبْنَاءٌ هُمْ: بَنُو وَشُوهَمُ وَزَكُّورُ وَعِبْرِي.

28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who did not have any sons.

٢٨ وَلَمْ يُعْقِبْ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ مَحْلِي أَبْنَاءً.

29 From Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.

٢٩ أَمَّا قَيْسُ فَأَنْجَبَ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ.

30 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites, according to their families.

٣٠ وَأَبْنَاءُ مُوشِي: مَحْلِي وَعَادِرُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ. هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ تَرْتِيبِ بُيُوتَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

31 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.

٣١ وَأَلْقَوْا هُمْ أَيْضاً الْقُرْعَةَ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَقْرِبَائِهِمِ الْكَهَنَةِ ذُرِّيَّةِ هرُونَ فِي حُضُورِ دَاوُدَ الْمَلِكِ وَصَادُوقَ وَأَخِيمَالِكَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، لَا فَرْقَ فِي ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ رُؤَسَاءِ الْعَائِلاتِ وَبَقِيَّةِ أَقْرِبَائِهِمِ الأَصَاغِرِ.
