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.
Ndị a bụ otu e si kenye ụmụ Erọn ọrụ ije ozi ha: Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn bụ Nadab, na Abihu, na Elieza, na Itama.
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.
Ma Nadab na Abihu nwụrụ tupu nna ha anwụọ. Ha amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom, ya mere, Elieza na Itama jere ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
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.
Devid kewara ha dịka usoro ije ozi ha ga-esi dị. Ọ bụ Zadọk onye ikwu Elieza, na Ahimelek onye ikwu Itama nyeere Devid aka ime nke a.
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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ndu a chọtara nʼikwu Elieza karịrị ọnụọgụgụ ndị ndu a chọtara nʼikwu Itama. Nʼihi ya, e sitere nʼikwu Elieza nweta ndịisi ezinaụlọ iri na isii, sitekwa nʼikwu Itama nweta ndịisi ezinaụlọ asatọ.
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).
E kere ha na-eleghị onye ọbụla anya nʼihu, site nʼife nza, nʼihi na e nwere ndịisi ozi ebe nsọ, nweekwa ndịisi ozi Chineke nʼetiti ndị ikwu Elieza na Itama.
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.
Ode akwụkwọ Shemaya, nwa Netanel, onye Livayị, dekọtara aha ndị a niile nʼihu eze, na ndịisi ozi eze, ya bụ, Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Ahimelek nwa Abịata, na ndịisi ezi ndị nchụaja, na nke ndị Livayị. E sitere nʼikwu Elieza, họrọ otu ezinaụlọ, sitekwa nʼikwu Itama họrọ otu ezinaụlọ.

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.
Otu a ka e si keere ha usoro ije ozi ha mgbe ha batara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. E mere ya dị ka ụkpụrụ nna nna ha Erọn nyere ha si dị, dịka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel si nye ya nʼiwu.

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.
