1 Chronicles 24
1 The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Ary ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Arona dia izao no nizarana azy ho antokony: Ny zanakalahin’ i Arona dia Nadaba sy Abiho sy Eleazara ary Itamara;
2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
fa Nadaba sy Abiho dia maty talohan-drainy sady samy tsy nanan-janaka, koa dia Eleazara sy Itamara no nanao fisoronana.
3 David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
Ary Davida sy Zadoka, isan’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, sy Ahimeleka, isan’ ny taranak’ Itamara, dia nizara azy araka ny antokony sy ny fanompoany avy.
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.
Ary ny lohany tamin’ ireo, dia tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, no maromaro kokoa noho ny tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara, ka dia nozarainy toy izao izy: Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara dia enina ambin’ ny folo no lohan’ ny fianakaviana; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara dia valo kosa no lohan’ ny fianakaviana.
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.
Ary samy nozarazaraina tamin’ ny filokana avokoa izy rehetra; fa samy mpifehy masìna, dia mpifehy ho an’ Andriamanitra avokoa, na ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, na ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara.
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.
Ary Semaia, zanak’ i Netanela, mpanoratra anankiray tamin’ ny Levita, no nanoratra azy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy Zadoka mpisorona sy Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, sy teo anatrehan’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita: fianakaviana iray no nalaina ho an’ i Eleazara, ary iray kosa ho an’ Itamara.

17 the twenty-first to Jakin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
ny fahiraika amby roa-polo an’ i Jakina, ny faharoa amby roa-polo an’ i Gamola,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
ny fahatelo amby roa-polo an’ i Delaia, ny fahefatra amby roa-polo an’ i Mazia.
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.
Ireo avy no antokony amin’ ny fanompoany izay idirany ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah araka ny fitsipika voatendrin’ i Arona rainy, araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, azy.
20 These were the rest of the descendants of Levi: Of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Levy sisa dia izao; Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amrama dia Sobaela; tamin’ ny zanak’ i Sobaela dia Jedala.

Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Mosy dia Maly sy Edera ary Jerimota. Ireo no taranaky ny Levita araka ny fianakaviany avy.
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.
Ary ireo dia mba niara-niloka tamin’ ny rahalahiny, taranak’ i Arona, teo anatrehan’ i Davida mpanjaka sy Zadota sy Ahimeleka sy ny lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita: niara-niloka avokoa na ny zokiny na ny zandriny.
