1 Chronicles 24
1 And [these are] their divisions, of the sons of Aaron. [The] sons of Aaron [are] Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Magulu a ana a Aaroni anali awa: Ana a Aaroni anali Nadabu, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara.
2 And Nadab dies—and Abihu—in the presence of their father, and they had no sons, and Eleazar and Ithamar act as priests.
Koma Nadabu ndi Abihu anamwalira abambo awo asanamwalire, ndipo analibe ana aamuna. Kotero Eliezara ndi Itamara ankatumikira monga ansembe.
3 And David distributes them—and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar—according to their office in their service;
Mothandizidwa ndi Zadoki chidzukulu cha Eliezara ndi Ahimeleki chidzukulu cha Itamara, Davide anawagawa mʼmagulu molingana ndi ntchito yawo yotumikira.
4 and there are found of the sons of Eleazar more for heads of the mighty men than of the sons of Ithamar; and they distribute them. Of the sons of Eleazar, heads for [each] house of [their] fathers—sixteen; and of the sons of Ithamar, for [each] house of their fathers—eight.
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 they distribute them by lots, with one another, for they have been princes of the holy place and princes of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from 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 Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writes them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites, one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.
Mlembi Semaya mwana wa Netaneli, Mlevi, analemba mayina awo pamaso pa mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake: wansembe Zadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara ndi atsogoleri a mabanja a ansembe ndiponso Alevi, banja limodzi kuchokera kwa Eliezara kenaka limodzi kuchokera kwa Itamara.
7 And the first lot goes out for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah the second,

a 23 anagwera Delaya, ndipo a 24 anagwera Maaziya.
19 These [are] their appointments for their service, to come into the house of YHWH, according to their ordinance by the hand of their father Aaron, as YHWH God of Israel commanded them.
Umu ndi mmene anasankhidwira kuti azigwira ntchito yotumikira pamene alowa mʼNyumba ya Yehova, motsatira dongosolo limene anapatsidwa ndi kholo lawo Aaroni, monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli anamulamulira.

Ndipo ana a Musi: Mahili, Ederi ndi Yerimoti. Awa anali Alevi potsata mabanja a makolo awo.
31 and they also cast lots just as their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites; the chief father just as his younger brother.
Iwonso anachita maere, monga anachitira abale awo, zidzukulu za Aaroni, pamaso pa mfumu Davide, ndi Zadoki ndi Ahimeleki, atsogoleri a mabanja a ansembe ndi Alevi. Mabanja a mwana wamkulu anachita nawo mofanana ndi a mwana wamngʼono.
