1 Chronicles 24
1 The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Makundi vya kazi kulingana na uzao wa Aroni yalikuwa haya: Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.
Nadabu na Abihu walikufa kabla ya baba yao kufa. Walikuwa hawana watoto, kwahiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walitumika kama makuhani.
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.
Daudi pamoja na Zadoki, uzao wa Eleazari, na Ahimeleki, uzao wa Ithamari, waliwagawanya katika makundi yao ya kazi kama makuhani.
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.
Kulikuwa na wanaume viongozi zaidi kati ya uzao wa Eleazari kuliko kati ya uzao wa Ithamari, kwahiyo waligawanya uzao wa Eleazari katika makundi kumi na sita. Walifanya hivyo na viongozi wa ukoo na uzao wa Ithamari. Magawanyo haya yalikuwa nane kwa idadi, sambamba na koo zao.
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.
Waliwagawanya bila upendeleo kwa kura, kwa kuwa walikuwa waamuzi watakatifu na waamuzi wa Mungu, kutoka pande zote uzao wa Eleazari na uzao wa Ithamari.
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.
Shemaia mwana wa Nethaneli mwandishi, Mlawi, aliandika majina yao mbele ya mfalme, muamuzi, kuhani Zadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari, na viongozi wa makuhani na familia za Walawi. Ukoo mmoja ulichaguliwa kwa kura kutoka uzao wa Eleazari, na kisha uliofata utachaguliwa kutoka uzao wa Ithhamari.
