1 Chronicles 24
1 And the divisions of the sons of Aaron were: The sons of Aaron were Nadab, and Abihu, El'azar, 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, and they had no children: and El'azar and Ithamar became priests.
Nadabu na Abihu walikufa kabla ya baba yao kufa. Walikuwa hawana watoto, kwahiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walitumika kama makuhani.
3 And David divided them off with Zadok of the sons of El'azar', and Achimelech of the sons of Ithamar, to their office in their service.
Daudi pamoja na Zadoki, uzao wa Eleazari, na Ahimeleki, uzao wa Ithamari, waliwagawanya katika makundi yao ya kazi kama makuhani.
4 And the sons of El'azar were found more numerous in the chiefs of males than the sons of Ithamar; and they divided them accordingly. Of the sons of El'azar there were sixteen chiefs of the family divisions, and of the sons of Ithamar, eight for their family divisions.
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 And they divided them off by lot, both the first and the last; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God, were from the sons of El'azar, and from 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 And Shema'yah the son of Nethanel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, and the chiefs of the families of the priests and Levites: one family division being drawn of El'azar, and one being equally drawn of Ithamar.
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.
