< 1 Chronicles 24 >
1 And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Vedkommende Arons sønner, så var deres skifter de som nu skal nevnes: Arons sønner var Nadab og Abihu, Eleasar og Itamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
Men Nadab og Abihu døde før sin far; de hadde ingen sønner, og bare Eleasar og Itamar blev prester.
3 And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
Sammen med Sadok av Eleasars sønner og Akimelek av Itamars sønner inndelte David dem efter deres embede i tjeneste-klasser.
4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
Da det viste sig at Eleasars sønner hadde flere overhoder enn Itamars sønner, inndelte de dem således at Eleasars sønner fikk seksten overhoder for sine familier og Itamars sønner åtte for sine familier.
5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for they were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
Og de inndelte dem ved loddkasting, begge ætter; for det fantes fyrster for helligdommen og Guds fyrster både blandt Eleasars sønner og blandt Itamars sønner.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites: one father's house being taken for Eleazar, and proportionately for Ithamar.
Skriveren Semaja, Netanels sønn, av Levi stamme, skrev dem op, mens kongen og høvdingene og presten Sadok og Akimelek, Ebjatars sønn, og familiehodene for prestene og levittene så på det; de tok ut en familie for Eleasar og derefter skiftevis en for Itamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah;
Det første lodd kom ut for Jojarib, det annet for Jedaja,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim;
det tredje for Harim, det fjerde for Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin;
det femte for Malkia, det sjette for Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah;
det syvende for Hakkos, det åttende for Abia,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah;
det niende for Jesua, det tiende for Sekanja,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim;
det ellevte for Eljasib, det tolvte for Jakim,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab;
det trettende for Huppa, det fjortende for Jesebab,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer;
det femtende for Bilga, det sekstende for Immer,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez;
det syttende for Hesir, det attende for Happisses,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel;
det nittende for Petahja, det tyvende for Esekiel,
17 the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul;
det en og tyvende for Jakin, det to og tyvende for Gamul,
18 the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
det tre og tyvende for Delaja, det fire og tyvende for Ma'asja.
19 These were the orderings of them in their service, to come into the house of the LORD according to the ordinance given unto them by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
Dette var den orden som de skulde gjøre tjeneste i, når de gikk inn i Herrens hus, således som det var foreskrevet dem av Aron, deres far, efter den befaling Herren, Israels Gud, hadde gitt ham.
20 And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

Musis sønner var Mahli og Eder og Jerimot. Dette var levittenes sønner efter sine familier.
31 These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers' houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
De kastet og lodd likesom deres brødre Arons sønner, mens kong David og Sadok og Akimelek og prestenes og levittenes familiehoder var til stede - overhodene for familiene like så vel som deres yngste brødre.
