1 Chronicles 24
1 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Lezi yizo izigaba zamadodana ka-Aroni: Amadodana ka-Aroni nguNadabi, lo-Abhihu, lo-Eliyazari kanye lo-Ithamari.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
Kodwa uNadabi lo-Abhihu bafa uyise engakafi, njalo babengelamadodana; ngakho u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari yibo ababa ngabaphristi.
3 David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
Ngokuphathisana loZadokhi owosendo luka-Eliyazari kanye lo-Ahimeleki owosendo luka-Ithamari, uDavida wabehlukanisa ngezigaba kusiya ngemisebenzi ababemele bayenze.
4 There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.
Babebanengi abosendo luka-Eliyazari abakhokheli kulabosendo luka-Ithamari ngakho behlukaniswa bamiswa njengalokhu: kwakusiba ngabalitshumi lesithupha kwabosendo luka-Eliyazari abazinhloko labayisificaminwembili kusendo luka-Ithamari.
5 Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
Babakhetha kungelakubandlulula ngokuphosa inkatho, ngoba zazikhona izikhulu zendawo yokuphephela lezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabosendo luka-Eliyazari laphakathi koluka-Ithamari.
6 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
Umlobi uShemaya indodana kaNethaneli, umLevi, waloba amabizo abo phambi kwenkosi kanye lezikhulu: uZadokhi umphristi, lo-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Abhiyathari kanye lenhloko zezimuli zabaphristi labaLevi, kuthathwa imuli eyodwa ku-Eliyazari kuphinde kuthathwe imuli eyodwa ku-Ithamari.
7 Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
Inkatho yakuqala yadla uJehoyaribhi, eyesibili yadla uJedaya,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

eyetshumi lanye yadla u-Eliyashibi, eyetshumi lambili yadla uJakhimi,

14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
eyetshumi lanhlanu yadla uBhiliga, eyetshumi lesithupha yadla u-Imeri,

eyetshumi lesikhombisa yadla uHeziri, eyetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili yadla uHapizezi,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
eyetshumi lesificamunwemunye yadla uPhethahiya, eyamatshumi amabili yadla uHezekhiyeli,
17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
eyamatshumi amabili lanye yadla uJakhini, eyamatshumi amabili lambili yadla uGamuli,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
eyamatshumi amabili lantathu yadla uDelaya, eyamatshumi amabili lane yadla uMaziya.
19 This was their ordering in their service, to come into the LORD’s house according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
Yizo lezi izigaba ababehlukaniswe ngazo ukuze benze umsebenzi wokukhonza ekungeneni kwabo ethempelini likaThixo, ngezimiso ezenzelwa ukhokho wabo u-Aroni, njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
