1 Chronicles 24
1 These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Elane egaga fi da agoane galu. Elane egefelali da Na: ida: be, Abaihiu, Elia: isa amola Idama.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
Na: ida: be amola Abaihiu da elea ada mae bogole, ela hidadea bogoi. Elagaga fi hameba: le, elea eya Elia: isa amola Idama da gobele salasu dunu hamoi.
3 Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
hina bagade Da: ibidi da Elane egaga fi ilima ilia hawa: hamosu defele momogili ilegei. Sa: idoge (Elia: isa egaga fi dunu) amola Ahimelege (Idama egaga fi dunu) ela da Da: ibidi fidi.
4 There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
Da: ibidi da Elia: isa egaga fi dunu momogili, gilisisu gilisi agoane hamoi, amola Idama egaga fi dunu momogili, gilisisu godoane agoane hamoi. Bai Elia: isa egaga fi dunumusu ilia idi da Idama egaga fi dunumusu ilia idi baligi.
5 There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
Elia: isa amola Idama elagaga fi dunu mogili da Debolo Diasu ouligisu dunu amola Gode Ea hou ouligisu dunu esalu. Amaiba: le, ilia da ilia hawa: hamosu ilegema: ne, ululuasu.
6 Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.
Elia: isa amola Idama elagaga fi dunu huluane da afae afae ululuala heheda: fusu. Amalalu, Lifai sia: dedesu dunu Siemaia (Nida: niele egefe) da ilia dio dedene legei. Hina bagade Da: ibidi, ea eagene ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu Sa: idoge, Abaia: da egefe Ahimelege amola gobele salasu sosogo fi amola Lifai fi ilia fada: i, amo huluane da ba: su dunu hamoi.
7 Jehoiarib was the first one whose name was selected [by casting lots/throwing marked stones]. Next Jedaiah was selected.
Ilia da sosogo fi 24 ilima hawa: hamosu agoane ilegei. Yihoialibi da bisili ilegei. Amalu, Yedaia, Ha: ilime, Sioulimi, Ma: lagaia, Midiamini, Ha: gose, Abaidia, Yesua, Sieganaia, Ilaiasibi, Ya: igimi, Haba, Yisiebia: be, Biliga, Ime, Hise, A:fasisi, Bedahaia, Yihesigele, Ya: igini, Ga: imale, Dila: iya, Ma: iasia.
8 Next, Harim was selected. Next, Seorim was selected.

19 Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.
Amo dunu da ilia Debolo ganodini hawa: hamosu ilegei defele dedene legei ba: i. Ilia aowa Elane da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nababeba: le, amo hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i.
20 [This is a list of some of] the other descendants of Levi: Amram was the ancestor of Shubael and Jehdeiah.
Lifai egaga fi ilia sosogo fada: i dunu amo ilia dio da hagudu dedei. Yehedia (Sibiuele egefe. E da A: mala: me egaga fi dunu.) Isihaia (Liha: baia egaga fi dunu) Ya: iha: de (Siloumode egefe. E da Isaha egaga fi dunu) Hibalone egefelali amo da Yilaia (magobo mano), A:malaia, Yaha: isiele amola Yega: mia: me. Sia: ime (Maiga egefe. E da Asaiele egaga fi dunu.) Segalaia (Maiga eya Isihaia amo egefe. E da Asaiele egaga fi dunu.) Malai, Miusiai amola Ya: iasaia (Milalai egaga fi dunu)
21 Rehabiah was the ancestor of Isshiah, the oldest son in his family.
22 Izhar was the father of Shelomoth and the grandfather of Jahath.
23 [Kohath’s son] Hebron had four sons: Jeriah and his [younger] brothers Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
24 Uzziel was the father of Micah and the grandfather of Shamir.
25 Micah’s [younger] brother was the father of Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli, Mushi, and Jaaziah.
27 Jaaziah had four sons: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
Ya: iasaia egefelali da Siouha: me, Sa: ge amola Ibilai.
28 Mahli’s son Eleazar did not have any sons.
Malai egefela da Elia: isa amola Gisia. Elia: isa da dunu mano hame galu. Be Gisa egefe afae fawane da Yilamiele.
29 From the descendants of [Mahli’s second son] there was Jerahmeel.
30 The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. Those were descendants of Levi who were listed according to the leaders of their families.
Muisiai egefelali da Malai, Ide amola Yelimode. Amo huluane da Lifai egaga fifi misi.
31 The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
Sosogo fi afae afae ilia fada: i dunu amola ea eya afae, da ilia fi dunu Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu ilia hamoi defele, ilia hawa: hamosu ilegema: ne, ululuasu.
