Kronika 1 24
1 Esiawoe nye Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe mama ɖe hawo me. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo nye Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar kple Itamar.
The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Ke Nadab kple Abihu ku do ŋgɔ na wo fofo; viŋutsu aɖeke menɔ wo si o ale Eleazar kple Itamar wɔ dɔ abe nunɔlawo ene.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.
3 David kple Zadok, ame si nɔ Eleazar ƒe hlɔ̃metɔwo teƒe kple Ahimelek, ame si nɔ Itamar ƒe hlɔ̃metɔwo teƒe la, ma Aron ƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖe hatsotsowo me be, woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔawo le ɣeyiɣi vovovoawo me.
With the help of Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ithamar, a descendant Ahimelech, David placed them in divisions according to their appointed duties.
4 Woma Eleazar ƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖe akpa wuiade me eye woma Itamar tɔwo ɖe akpa enyi me elabena ame siwo ŋu amekpɔkplɔ ƒe ŋutete nɔ la, sɔ gbɔ le Eleazar ƒe dzidzimeviwo dome wu.
Because Eleazar's descendants had more leaders than those of Ithamar, they were divided like this: sixteen family leaders from the descendants of Eleazar, and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5 Woda akɔ hafi de dɔawo asi na hatsotso vovovoawo ale be ameŋkumekpɔkpɔ aɖeke menɔ anyi o elabena Mawu ƒe ame xɔŋkɔwo kple amegãwo tso Eleazar kple Itamar ƒe ƒome me.
They were divided by casting lots, without preference, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God from both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
6 Semaya, tso Levitɔwo dome, ame si fofoe nye Netanel la, nye nuŋlɔla. Eŋlɔ ameawo ƒe ŋkɔwo kple woƒe dɔdeasiwo da ɖi le fia la kple Nunɔla Zadok kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi kple Levitɔwo ƒe tatɔwo ŋkume. Wode dɔ ɖe sia ɖe asi na Eleazar ƒe viwo ƒe ha eveawo kple Itamar ƒe viwo ƒe ha ɖeka la sɔsɔe.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, was the secretary. He wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. One family from Eleazar and one from Ithamar were chosen in turn.
