Chronicles I 24
1 And [they number] the sons of Aaron in [their] division, Nadab, and Abiud, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Magulu a ana a Aaroni anali awa: Ana a Aaroni anali Nadabu, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara.
2 And Nadab and Abiud died before their father, and they had no sons: so Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron ministered as priests.
Koma Nadabu ndi Abihu anamwalira abambo awo asanamwalire, ndipo analibe ana aamuna. Kotero Eliezara ndi Itamara ankatumikira monga ansembe.
3 And David distributed them, even Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Achimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their numbering, according to their service, according to the houses of their fathers.
Mothandizidwa ndi Zadoki chidzukulu cha Eliezara ndi Ahimeleki chidzukulu cha Itamara, Davide anawagawa mʼmagulu molingana ndi ntchito yawo yotumikira.
4 And there were found [among] the sons of Eleazar more chiefs of the mighty ones, than of the sons of Ithamar: and he divided them, sixteen heads of families to the sons of Eleazar, eight according to [their] families to the sons of Ithamar.
Atsogoleri ambiri anapezeka pakati pa zidzukulu za Eliezara kusiyana ndi zidzukulu za Itamara ndipo anagawidwa moyenera: atsogoleri 16 a mabanja ochokera kwa Eliezara, ndipo atsogoleri asanu ndi atatu a mabanja ochokera kwa zidzukulu za Itamara.
5 And he divided them according to their lots, one with the other; for there were those who had charge of the holy things, and those who had charge of the [house] of the Lord among the sons of Eleazar, and among the sons of Ithamar.
Anawagawa mosakondera pochita maere, pakuti iwo anali akuluakulu a ku malo opatulika ndi akuluakulu a Mulungu pakati pa zidzukulu za Eliezara ndi Itamara.
6 And Samaias the son of Nathanael, the scribe, [of the family] of Levi, wrote them down before the king, and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar [were present]; and the heads of the families of the priests and the Levites, each of a household [were assigned] one to Eleazar, and one to Ithamar.
