1 Chronicles 24

1 The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

١ وَهَذِهِ فِرَقُ بَنِي هَارُونَ: بَنُو هَارُونَ: نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو، أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ.

2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

٢ وَمَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو قَبْلَ أَبِيهِمَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَنُونَ، فَكَهَنَ أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ.

3 David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.

٣ وَقَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ وَصَادُوقُ مِنْ بَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ، وَأَخِيمَالِكَ مِنْ بَنِي إِيثَامَارَ، حَسَبَ وَكَالَتِهِمْ فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ.

4 There were more leading men among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants, so they divided Eleazar's descendants into sixteen groups. They did this by heads of clans and by Ithamar's descendants. These divisions were eight in number, corresponding to their clans.

٤ وَوُجِدَ لِبَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ رُؤُوسُ رِجَالٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ بَنِي إِيثَامَارَ، فَٱنْقَسَمُوا لِبَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ رُؤُوسًا لِبَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ، وَلِبَنِي إِيثَامَارَ لِبَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ ثَمَانِيَةٌ.

5 They divided them impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.

٥ وَٱنْقَسَمُوا بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ، هَؤُلَاءِ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ، لِأَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ كَانُوا مِنْ بَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ وَمِنْ بَنِي إِيثَامَارَ.

6 Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe, a Levite, wrote down their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One clan was drawn by lot from Eleazar's descendants, and then the next would be drawn from Ithamar's descendants.

٦ وَكَتَبَهُمْ شَمَعْيَا بْنُ نَثَنْئِيلَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَصَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَأَخِيمَالِكَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ وَرُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. فَأُخِذَ بَيْتُ أَبٍ وَاحِدٍ لِأَلِعَازَارَ، وَأُخِذَ وَاحِدٌ لِإِيثَامَارَ.

7 The first lot went to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

٧ فَخَرَجَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ ٱلْأُولَى لِيَهُويَارِيبَ. ٱلثَّانِيَةُ لِيَدْعِيَا.

8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

٨ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ لِحَارِيمَ. ٱلرَّابِعَةُ لِسَعُورِيمَ.

9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

٩ ٱلْخَامِسَةُ لِمَلْكِيَّا. ٱلسَّادِسَةُ لِمَيَّامِينَ.

10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

١٠ ٱلسَّابِعَةُ لِهُقُّوصَ. ٱلثَّامِنَةُ لِأَبِيَّا.

11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

١١ ٱلتَّاسِعَةُ لِيَشُوعَ. ٱلْعَاشِرَةُ لِشَكُنْيَا.

12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

١٢ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِأَلِيَاشِيبَ. ٱلثَّانِيَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِيَاقِيمَ.

13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

١٣ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِحُفَّةَ. ٱلرَّابِعَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِيَشَبْآبَ.

14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

١٤ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِبَلْجَةَ. ٱلسَّادِسَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِإِيمِيرَ.

15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,

١٥ ٱلسَّابِعَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِحِيزِيرَ. ٱلثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِهَفْصِيصَ.

16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,

١٦ ٱلتَّاسِعَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِفَقَحْيَا. ٱلْعِشْرُونَ لِيَحَزْقِيئِيلَ.

17 the twenty-first to Jakin, the twenty-second to Gamul,

١٧ ٱلْحَادِيَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ لِيَاكِينَ. ٱلثَّانِيةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ لِجَامُولَ.

18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

١٨ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ لِدَلَايَا. ٱلرَّابِعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ لِمَعَزْيَا.

19 This was the order of their service, when they came into Yahweh's house, following the procedure given to them by Aaron their ancestor, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had instructed him.

١٩ فَهَذِهِ وَكَالَتُهُمْ وَخِدْمَتُهُمْ لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ حُكْمِهِمْ عَنْ يَدِ هَارُونَ أَبِيهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

20 These were the rest of the descendants of Levi: Of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

٢٠ وَأَمَّا بَنُو لَاوِي ٱلْبَاقُونَ: فَمِنْ بَنِي عَمْرَامَ: شُوبَائِيلُ، وَمِنْ بَنِي شُوبَائِيلَ: يَحَدْيَا.

21 As for Rehabiah, the sons of Rehabiah: Ishijah the leader.

٢١ وَأَمَّا رَحَبْيَا، فَمِنْ بَنِي رَحَبْيَا: ٱلرَّأْسُ يَشِّيَّا.

22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth; from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.

٢٢ وَمِنَ ٱلْيِصْهَارِيِّينَ: شَلُومُوثُ، وَمِنْ بَنِي شَلُومُوثَ: يَحَثُ.

23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the leader, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

٢٣ وَمِنْ بَنِي حَبْرُونَ: يَرِيَّا وَأَمَرْيَا ٱلثَّانِي وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ ٱلثَّالِثُ وَيَقْمَعَامُ ٱلرَّابِعُ.

24 The son of Uzziel: Micah; from the sons of Micah: Shamir.

٢٤ مِنْ بَنِي عُزِّيئِيلَ: مِيخَا. مِنْ بَنِي مِيخَا: شَامُورُ.

25 The brother of Micah: Ishijah. From the sons of Ishijah: Zechariah.

٢٥ أَخُو مِيخَا: يِشِّيَّا، وَمِنْ بَنِي يِشِّيَّا: زَكَرِيَّا.

26 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; from the son of Jaaziah: Beno.

٢٦ اِبْنَا مَرَارِي: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. اِبْنُ يَعَزْيَا بَنُو.

27 The sons of Merari from Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.

٢٧ مِنْ بَنِي مَرَارِي لِيَعَزْيَا: بَنُو وَشُوهَمُ وَزَكُّورُ وَعِبْرِي.

28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

٢٨ مِنْ مَحْلِي: أَلِعَازَارُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ.

29 From Kish: The son of Kish: Jerahmeel.

٢٩ وَأَمَّا قَيْسُ، فَٱبْنُ قَيْسَ يَرْحَمْئِيلُ.

30 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the Levites, listed by their families.

٣٠ وَبَنُو مُوشِي: مَحْلِي وَعَادِرُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

31 These men who were the head of each father's house and each of their younger brothers, cast lots in the presence of King David, and Zadok and Ahimelech, along with the leaders of the families of the priests and Levites. They cast lots just as Aaron's descendants had done.

٣١ وَأَلْقَوْا هُمْ أَيْضًا قُرَعًا مُقَابِلَ إِخْوَتِهِمْ بَنِي هَارُونَ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَصَادُوقَ وَأَخِيمَالِكَ وَرُؤُوسِ آبَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ٱلْآبَاءُ ٱلرُّؤُوسُ كَمَا إِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱلْأَصَاغِرِ.
