< Kronika 1 24 >
1 Esiawoe nye Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe mama ɖe hawo me. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo nye Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar kple Itamar.
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: 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.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served 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.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
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.
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.
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 divided them impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.
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 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.
