1 Istwa 24
1 Alò, men divizyon a desandan a Aaron yo: fis a Aaron yo te Nadab, Abihu, Éléazar avèk Ithamar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadab avèk Abihu te mouri avan papa yo, san yo pa t genyen fis. Pou sa, Éléazar avèk Ithamar te sèvi kon prèt.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 David, avèk Tsadok, fis a Éléazar yo ak Achimélec a desandan a Ithamar yo, te divize yo selon fonksyon yo nan sèvis pa yo.
Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
4 Akoz ke te gen plis chèf nan desandan a Éléazar yo pase nan desandan a Ithamar yo, yo te divize yo konsa: sèz chèf zansèt a desandan a Éléazar yo ak uit nan desandan Ithamar yo, selon lakay zansèt pa yo.
There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
5 Konsa yo te divize pa tiraj osò, youn tankou lòt la; paske yo te sèvi kon ofisye nan sanktiyè a e ofisye a Bondye, e nan desandan a Éléazar yo ak desandan a Ithamar yo.
There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
6 Schemaeja, fis a Nethaneel la, grefye pou trib Lévi a, te enskri yo nan prezans a wa a, chèf lakay zansèt yo, Tsadok, prèt la, Achimélec, fis a Abiathar a ak chèf a lakay zansèt a prèt avèk Levit yo; youn lakay zansèt ki te pran pou Éléazar yo e youn pou Ithamar yo.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.

The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
