1 Maũndũ 24
1 Ici nĩcio ciarĩ ikundi cia ariũ a Harũni: Ariũ a Harũni maarĩ Nadabu, na Abihu, na Eleazaru, na Ithamaru.
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 No rĩrĩ, Nadabu na Abihu nĩmakuire ithe wao atakuĩte, na matiarĩ na ciana cia aanake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Eleazaru na Ithamaru magĩtungata marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 Zadoku wa rũciaro rwa Eleazaru na Ahimeleku wa rũciaro rwa Ithamaru nĩo maateithĩrĩirie Daudi kũmagayania ikundi, nĩ ũndũ wa mũtaratara wa ũtungata ũrĩa maathuurĩirwo.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
4 Atongoria arĩa aingĩ moimĩte njiaro-inĩ cia Eleazaru gũkĩra arĩa moimĩte njiaro-inĩ cia Ithamaru, nao makĩgayanio ta ũũ: kuuma njiaro-inĩ cia Eleazaru kwarĩ na atongoria a nyũmba ikũmi na atandatũ, na kuuma njiaro-inĩ cia Ithamaru kwarĩ na atongoria a nyũmba anana.
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 Maamagayanirie na kĩhooto na ũndũ wa gũcuuka mĩtĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ haarĩ na anene a handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na anene a nyũmba ya Ngai gatagatĩ-inĩ ka njiaro icio cia Eleazaru na cia Ithamaru.
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 Shemaia mũrũ wa Nethaneli, ũrĩa mwandĩki-marũa Mũlawii, nĩandĩkire marĩĩtwa mao arĩ mbere ya mũthamaki na anene aya: Zadoku ũrĩa-mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Ahimeleku mũrũ wa Abiatharu, na atongoria a nyũmba cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai na cia Alawii. Nyũmba ĩmwe ĩgathuurwo kuuma kũrĩ Eleazaru, na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩgathuurwo kuuma kũrĩ Ithamaru.
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.

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.
