1 Chronicles 24
1 And the courses of the sons of Aaron [were these]. 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 priest office.
Kodwa oNadabi loAbihu bafa mandulo kuloyise, njalo bengelabantwana; ngakho oEleyazare loIthamari basebenza njengabapristi.
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.
UDavida wasebehlukanisa, loZadoki emadodaneni kaEleyazare, loAhimeleki emadodaneni kaIthamari, ngokwesikhundla sabo enkonzweni yabo.
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 father’s houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.
Kwatholakala emadodaneni kaEleyazare inhloko zamaqhawe amanengi okwedlula emadodaneni kaIthamari mhla bewehlukanisa; emadodaneni kaEleyazare kwakulenhloko ezilitshumi lesithupha zendlu yaboyise, lemadodaneni kaIthamari ngokwendlu yaboyise, eziyisificaminwembili.
5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons 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 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 fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one 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 Jeshebeab;
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 one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul;
eyamatshumi amabili lanye uJakini, eyamatshumi amabili lambili uGamuli,
18 the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
eyamatshumi amabili lantathu uDelaya, eyamatshumi amabili lane uMahaziya.
19 This was the ordering 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.
Isikhundla salaba enkonzweni yabo sasiyikungena endlini yeNkosi ngokwesimiso sabo ngesandla sikaAroni uyise, njengalokho iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yayimlayile.
