1 Chronicles 24
1 Now, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;
Tala bituka ya bana mibali ya Aron: Nadabi, Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.
2 but Nadab and Abihu, died, before their father, and sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;
Nadabi mpe Abiyu bakufaki liboso ya tata na bango mpe batikalaki kobota te. Eleazari mpe Itamari basalaki mosala na bango ya bonganga-Nzambe.
3 and David apportioned to them courses, both to Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and to Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, —by their appointed place in their service.
Tala ndenge Davidi akabolaki bango kolanda misala oyo bapesaki bango: Tsadoki, na etuka ya Eleazari; Ayimeleki, na etuka ya Itamari.
4 But the sons of Eleazar were found to be more numerous, by the chiefs of their able men, than were the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them, —the sons of Eleazar, had chiefs, of the ancestral house, sixteen, whereas, the sons of Ithamar, had of their ancestral house, eight.
Bamonaki ete kati na bakitani ya Eleazari, bana mibali bazalaki ebele koleka bato oyo bazalaki kati na bakitani ya Itamari. Boye, bakabolaki bana mibali ya Eleazari lokola bakonzi ya mabota zomi na motoba mpe bana mibali ya Itamari lokola bakonzi ya mabota mwambe.
5 They divided them, therefore, by [casting] lots, these with those, —for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, from among the sons of Eleazar, and among the sons of Ithamar.
Babetaki zeke mpo na kokabola bango, pamba te kati na bakitani ya Eleazari mpe ya Itamari, ezalaki na bakambi ya Esika ya bule mpe bakambi ya mosala ya Nzambe.
6 And Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe from among the Levites, wrote them down, before the king and the rulers and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, —one ancestral house, was taken for Eleazar, and, was equally taken, for Ithamar.
Shemaya, mokomi mikanda, mwana mobali ya Netaneeli, na libota ya Levi, akomaki bakombo na bango na miso ya mokonzi, ya bakambi, ya Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, ya Ayimeleki, mwana mobali ya Abiatari; mpe ya bakambi ya mabota ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi. Babetaki zeke mbala mibale mpo na etuka ya Eleazari, mpe mbala moko, mpo na etuka ya Itamari.
7 So then the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah, the second;
Tala ndenge bakambi ya mabota baponamaki na nzela ya zeke: zeke ya liboso ekweyaki epai ya Yeoyaribi; zeke ya mibale ekweyaki epai ya Yedaeya;

14 for Bilgah, the fifteenth, for Immer, the sixteenth;
zeke ya zomi na mitano ekweyaki epai ya Biliga; zeke ya zomi na motoba ekweyaki epai ya Imeri;
15 for Hezir, the seventeenth, for Happizzez, the eighteenth;
zeke ya zomi na sambo ekweyaki epai ya Eziri; zeke ya zomi na mwambe ekweyaki epai ya Apitsetsi;
16 for Pethahiah, the nineteenth, for Jehezkel, the twentieth;
zeke ya zomi na libwa ekweyaki epai ya Petaya; zeke ya tuku mibale ekweyaki epai ya Ezekieli;
17 for Jachin, the twenty-first, for Gamul, the twenty-second;
zeke ya tuku mibale na moko ekweyaki epai ya Yakini; zeke ya tuku mibale na mibale ekweyaki epai ya Gamuli;
18 for Delaiah, the twenty-third, for Maaziah, the twenty-fourth.
zeke ya tuku mibale na misato ekweyaki epai ya Delaya; zeke ya tuku mibale na minei ekweyaki epai ya Maazia.
19 These, were their appointed places for their service, for entering the house of Yahweh, according to the regulation of them, by the hand of Aaron their father, —just as Yahweh God of Israel, commanded him.
Ezalaki ndenge wana nde bakabolaki bango mpe bazalaki kolandana kati na mosala mpo na kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Bazalaki kosala misala na bango kolanda mibeko oyo tata na bango, Aron, apesaki bango, mpe ndenge Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, atindaki ye.
20 Now, as for the sons of Levi who remained, of the sons of Amram, Shubael, of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
Tala bakitani mosusu ya Levi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya bituka: Shubaeli, mpo na etuka ya Amirami; Yedeya, mpo na etuka ya Shubaeli;
21 Of Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the chief Isshiah;

22 of the Izharites, Shelomoth, —of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath;
Shelomoti, mpo na etuka ya Yitseari; Yaati, mpo na etuka ya Shelomiti.
23 and, the sons [of Hebron], Jeriah, —Amariah, the second, Jehaziel, the third, Jekameam, the fourth;
Bana mibali ya Ebron: mwana ya liboso, Yeriya; mwana ya mibale, Amaria; mwana ya misato, Yaazieli; mpe mwana ya minei, Yekameami;
24 the sons of Uzziel, Micah, of the sons of Micah, Shamir;
Shamiri, mpo na etuka ya Mishe, mwana mobali ya Uzieli;
25 the brother of Micah, Isshiah, of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.

26 The sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi, —the sons of Jaaziah, Beno;
Bana mibali ya Merari: Maali mpe Mushi. Beno, mpo na etuka ya Yaaziya.
27 the sons of Merari, of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri:
Bakitani ya Merari: na nzela ya mwana na ye ya mobali Yaaziya: Beno, Shoami, Zakuri mpe Ibiri.
28 of Mahli, Eleazar, who had no sons;
Na nzela ya mwana na ye ya mobali Maali: Eleazari oyo atikalaki kobota te.
29 of Kish—the sons of Kish, Jerameel;
Mpo na Kishi: Yerameeli, mwana na ye ya mobali.
30 and, the sons of Mushi, Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These, were the sons of the Levites, belonging to their ancestral house.
Bana mibali ya Mushi: Maali, Ederi mpe Yerimoti. Bango wana nde bazalaki bakitani ya Levi kolanda bituka na bango.
31 Moreover, they also, cast lots along with their brethren the sons of Aaron, before David the king and Zadok and Ahimelech, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, the ancestral chief along with his younger brethren.
Bango mpe babetaki zeke lokola bandeko na bango ya mibali, bakitani ya Aron, na miso ya mokonzi Davidi, ya Tsadoki, ya Ayimeleki, ya bakambi ya mabota ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya Balevi. Boye bazalaki komona mabota nyonso ndenge moko, ezala libota ya kulutu to ya leki.
