1 Chronicles 24
1 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Magulu a ana a Aaroni anali awa: Ana a Aaroni anali Nadabu, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
Koma Nadabu ndi Abihu anamwalira abambo awo asanamwalire, ndipo analibe ana aamuna. Kotero Eliezara ndi Itamara ankatumikira monga ansembe.
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.
Mothandizidwa ndi Zadoki chidzukulu cha Eliezara ndi Ahimeleki chidzukulu cha Itamara, Davide anawagawa mʼmagulu molingana ndi ntchito yawo yotumikira.
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.
Atsogoleri ambiri anapezeka pakati pa zidzukulu za Eliezara kusiyana ndi zidzukulu za Itamara ndipo anagawidwa moyenera: atsogoleri 16 a mabanja ochokera kwa Eliezara, ndipo atsogoleri asanu ndi atatu a mabanja ochokera kwa zidzukulu za Itamara.
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.
Anawagawa mosakondera pochita maere, pakuti iwo anali akuluakulu a ku malo opatulika ndi akuluakulu a Mulungu pakati pa zidzukulu za Eliezara ndi Itamara.
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.
Mlembi Semaya mwana wa Netaneli, Mlevi, analemba mayina awo pamaso pa mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake: wansembe Zadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara ndi atsogoleri a mabanja a ansembe ndiponso Alevi, banja limodzi kuchokera kwa Eliezara kenaka limodzi kuchokera kwa Itamara.
