1 Chronicles 24
1 The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: 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 Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as 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 David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
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 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.
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 They divided them impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.
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 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.
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.
7 The first lot went to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
Nza nke mbụ mara Jehoiarib nke abụọ a maa Jedaya

18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
nke iri abụọ na atọ, Delaya nke iri abụọ na anọ, Maazaya.
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.
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 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.
Dịka e mere mgbe a na-ahọpụta ụmụ Erọn, e ji ife nza kenye ha niile ọrụ ha kwesiri ịrụ nʼotu nʼotu, onye ukwu ha na onye nta ha.
