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.
Και αύται ήσαν αι διαιρέσεις των υιών του Ααρών· οι υιοί του Ααρών, Ναδάβ και Αβιούδ, Ελεάζαρ και Ιθάμαρ.
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.
Και απέθανον ο Ναδάβ και ο Αβιούδ έμπροσθεν του πατρός αυτών, και δεν είχον υιούς· όθεν ιεράτευσαν ο Ελεάζαρ και ο Ιθάμαρ.
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.
Και διήρεσεν αυτούς ο Δαβίδ, τον τε Σαδώκ εκ των υιών Ελεάζαρ, και τον Αχιμέλεχ εκ των υιών του Ιθάμαρ, κατά τα χρέη αυτών εις την υπηρεσίαν αυτών.
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.
Ευρέθησαν δε πλειότεροι αρχηγοί εκ των υιών Ελεάζαρ, παρά εκ των υιών Ιθάμαρ· και διηρέθησαν ούτω· εκ των υιών Ελεάζαρ ήσαν δεκαέξ αρχηγοί οίκου πατέρων· και εκ των υιών Ιθάμαρ οκτώ αρχηγοί του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών.
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).
Διήρεσαν δε αυτούς διά κλήρων, τούτους προς εκείνους· διότι διευθυνταί του αγιαστηρίου και διευθυνταί του οίκου του Θεού ήσαν εκ των υιών Ελεάζαρ και εκ των υιών Ιθάμαρ.
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.
Και κατέγραψεν αυτούς Σεμαΐας ο υιός του Ναθαναήλ ο γραμματεύς, ο εκ των Λευϊτών, έμπροσθεν του βασιλέως και των αρχόντων και Σαδώκ του ιερέως και Αχιμέλεχ υιού του Αβιάθαρ και έμπροσθεν των αρχηγών των πατριών των ιερέων και Λευϊτών, λαμβανομένης μιας πατριάς εκ του Ελεάζαρ και μιας εκ του Ιθάμαρ.
7 Jehoiarib was the first one whose name was selected [by casting lots/throwing marked stones]. Next Jedaiah 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.
Αύται ήσαν αι διατάξεις αυτών εις την υπηρεσίαν αυτών, διά να εισέρχωνται εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου κατά το διατεταγμένον εις αυτούς διά χειρός Ααρών του πατρός αυτών, ως προσέταξεν εις αυτόν Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ.
20 [This is a list of some of] the other descendants of Levi: Amram was the ancestor of Shubael and Jehdeiah.
Περί δε των επιλοίπων υιών Λευΐ· εκ των υιών Αμράμ ήτο ο Σουβαήλ, εκ των υιών Σουβαήλ ο Ιεδαΐας.
21 Rehabiah was the ancestor of Isshiah, the oldest son in his family.
Περί του Ρεαβιά· εκ των υιών Ρεαβιά ο πρώτος ήτο ο Ιεσία.
22 Izhar was the father of Shelomoth and the grandfather of Jahath.
Εκ των Ισααριτών ο Σελωμώθ· εκ των υιών Σελωμώθ ο Ιαάθ.
23 [Kohath’s son] Hebron had four sons: Jeriah and his [younger] brothers Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Οι δε υιοί Χεβρών ήσαν Ιεριάς ο πρώτος, Αμαρίας ο δεύτερος, Ιααζιήλ ο τρίτος, Ιεκαμεάμ ο τέταρτος.
24 Uzziel was the father of Micah and the grandfather of Shamir.
Εκ των υιών Οζιήλ Μιχά· εκ των υιών του Μιχά Σαμίρ.
25 Micah’s [younger] brother was the father of Zechariah.
Ο αδελφός του Μιχά ήτο ο Ιεσία· εκ των υιών Ιεσία ο Ζαχαρίας.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli, Mushi, and Jaaziah.
Οι υιοί του Μεραρί ήσαν Μααλί και Μουσί· οι υιοί του Ιααζία, Βενώ.
27 Jaaziah had four sons: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
Οι υιοί του Μεραρί διά του Ιααζία, Βενώ και Σωάμ και Ζακχούρ και Ιβρί.
28 Mahli’s son Eleazar did not have any sons.
Εκ του Μααλί ήτο ο Ελεάζαρ, όστις δεν είχεν υιούς.
29 From the descendants of [Mahli’s second son] there was Jerahmeel.
Περί δε του Κείς· οι υιοί του Κείς, ο Ιεραμεήλ.
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.
Και οι υιοί του Μουσί, Μααλί και Εδέρ και Ιεριμώθ. Ούτοι ήσαν οι υιοί των Λευϊτών, κατά τους οίκους των πατριών αυτών.
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.
Έρριψαν και ούτοι κλήρους, καθώς οι αδελφοί αυτών οι υιοί του Ααρών, έμπροσθεν του βασιλέως Δαβίδ και του Σαδώκ και του Αχιμέλεχ και των αρχηγών των πατριών των ιερέων και Λευϊτών, εξισουμένων των πρώτων πατριών μετά των αδελφών αυτών των νεωτέρων.
