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.
Zao o firimboñan’ ana’ i Aharoneo: O ana’ i Aharoneo: i Nadabe naho i Abihò, i Eleazare naho Itamare.
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.
Toe nihomake taolon-drae’e t’i Nadabe naho i Abihò, ie mbe tsy nisamake; aa le i Eleazare naho Itamare ty nitoloñe ho mpisoroñe,
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.
le nitraok’ amy Tsadoke tarira’ i Eleazare naho i Akimeleke tarira’ Itamare t’i Davide nizara iareo am-pirimboñañe ty amo fitoroñañeo.
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.
Ie amy zao nimaro ty talè amo tarira’ i Eleazareo te amo tarira’ Itamareo; le zao ty nizarañe iareo: folo-eneñ’ amby ty amo talèn-anjomban-droae’eo ty ana’ i Eleazare, naho valo ty amo anjomban-droae’eo ty ana’ Itamare.
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).
Aa le nifanjara an-kitsapake iereo, ty raike naho ty ila’e vaho songa nanañe mpiaolo amy toetse masiñey naho mpiaolo aman’ Añahare o ana’ i Eleazareo naho o ana’ Itamareo.
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.
I Semaià, ana’ i Netanele, nte-Levý, mpanokitse, ty nanokitse iareo añatrefa’ i mpanjakay naho o mpiaoloo naho i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Akimelek’ ana’ i Abiatare naho o talèn-droaem-pisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio; rinambe ami’ty anjomban-droae raike ty ho a i Eleazare vaho rinambe ami’ty ila’e ty ho a Itamare.

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.
Izay o firimboña’ iareoo naho ty filaharam-pitoroña’ iareo añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, ty amy lily natolotse am-pità’ i Aharone rae’ iareoy, i nandilia’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
20 [This is a list of some of] the other descendants of Levi: Amram was the ancestor of Shubael and Jehdeiah.
Aa naho o ana’ i Levý nisisao: amo ana’ i Amrameo: i Sobaele; amo ana’ i Sobaeleo, Iedeià.

23 [Kohath’s son] Hebron had four sons: Jeriah and his [younger] brothers Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Amo ana’ i Kebroneo, Ierià talè; faharoe i Amarià, fahatelo Iakaziele, fah’ efatse Iekameame.
24 Uzziel was the father of Micah and the grandfather of Shamir.
Amo ana’ i Oziele, i Mikà; amo ana’ i Mikào, i Samire.

28 Mahli’s son Eleazar did not have any sons.
Amy Maklý: i Eleazare, tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
29 From the descendants of [Mahli’s second son] there was Jerahmeel.
Amy Kise: o ana’ i Kiseo, Ierakmeele.
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.
O ana’ i Mosio; i Maklý naho i Edere vaho Ierimote. Ie ro ana’ o nte-Levio ty amo anjomban-droae’eo.
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.
Nifanao kitsapake ka iereo manahake o longo’ iareo ana-dahi’ i Aharoneo, añatrefa’ i Davide mpanjaka naho i Tsadoke naho i Akimeleke naho o talèn’ anjomban-droaem-pisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio—o talèn-droaeo naho o zai’eo.
