1 Chronicles 24
1 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Njalo izigaba zamadodana kaAroni. Amadodana kaAroni: ONadabi, loAbihu, uEleyazare, loIthamari.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the office of cohen.
Kodwa oNadabi loAbihu bafa mandulo kuloyise, njalo bengelabantwana; ngakho oEleyazare loIthamari basebenza njengabapristi.
3 David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
UDavida wasebehlukanisa, loZadoki emadodaneni kaEleyazare, loAhimeleki emadodaneni kaIthamari, ngokwesikhundla sabo enkonzweni yabo.
4 There were more chief men found among the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; so they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads according to their ancestral houses, and eight according to their ancestral houses among the sons of Ithamar.
Kwatholakala emadodaneni kaEleyazare inhloko zamaqhawe amanengi okwedlula emadodaneni kaIthamari mhla bewehlukanisa; emadodaneni kaEleyazare kwakulenhloko ezilitshumi lesithupha zendlu yaboyise, lemadodaneni kaIthamari ngokwendlu yaboyise, eziyisificaminwembili.
5 And thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were officiers of the sanctuary, and officiers of God, both of the descendants of Eleazar, and of the descendants of Ithamar.
Basebezehlukanisa ngezinkatho, lezi laleziyana, ngoba izinduna zendlu engcwele lezinduna zikaNkulunkulu zazivela emadodaneni kaEleyazare lemadodaneni kaIthamari.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the officiers, and Zadok the cohen, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the ancestral houses of the cohanim and of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar and one being taken for Ithamar.
UShemaya indodana kaNethaneli umbhali, ovela kumaLevi, wasezibhala phambi kwenkosi leziphathamandla loZadoki umpristi loAhimeleki indodana kaAbhiyatha, lenhloko zaboyise zabapristi lezamaLevi; indlu kayise eyodwa yathathelwa uEleyazare, leyodwa yathathelwa uIthamari.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
Inkatho yokuqala yasiphumela uJehoyaribi, eyesibili uJedaya,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
eyesithathu uHarimi, eyesine uSeworimi,
9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
eyesihlanu uMalikiya, eyesithupha uMijamini,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
eyesikhombisa uHakhozi, eyesificaminwembili uAbhiya,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
eyesificamunwemunye uJeshuwa, eyetshumi uShekaniya,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
eyetshumi lanye uEliyashibi, eyetshumi lambili uJakimi,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshbaal,
eyetshumi lantathu uHupha, eyetshumi lane uJeshebeyabi,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
eyetshumi lanhlanu uBiliga, eyetshumi lesithupha uImeri,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
eyetshumi lesikhombisa uHeziri, eyetshumi lesificaminwembili uHaphizezi,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
eyetshumi lesificamunwemunye uPhethahiya, eyamatshumi amabili uJehezekeli,
17 the twenty-first to Jakin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
eyamatshumi amabili lanye uJakini, eyamatshumi amabili lambili uGamuli,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
eyamatshumi amabili lantathu uDelaya, eyamatshumi amabili lane uMahaziya.
19 This was their ordering in their service, to come into the house of the LORD according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
Isikhundla salaba enkonzweni yabo sasiyikungena endlini yeNkosi ngokwesimiso sabo ngesandla sikaAroni uyise, njengalokho iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yayimlayile.
