1 Ihe E Mere 24
1 Ndị a bụ otu e si kenye ụmụ Erọn ọrụ ije ozi ha: Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn bụ Nadab, na Abihu, na Elieza, na Itama.
Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron: The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Ma Nadab na Abihu nwụrụ tupu nna ha anwụọ. Ha amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom, ya mere, Elieza na Itama jere ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
But Nadab and Abiu died before their father, and had no children: so Eleazar, and Ithamar did the office of the priesthood.
3 Devid kewara ha dịka usoro ije ozi ha ga-esi dị. Ọ bụ Zadọk onye ikwu Elieza, na Ahimelek onye ikwu Itama nyeere Devid aka ime nke a.
And David distributed them, that is, Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry.
4 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ndu a chọtara nʼikwu Elieza karịrị ọnụọgụgụ ndị ndu a chọtara nʼikwu Itama. Nʼihi ya, e sitere nʼikwu Elieza nweta ndịisi ezinaụlọ iri na isii, sitekwa nʼikwu Itama nweta ndịisi ezinaụlọ asatọ.
And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families: and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
5 E kere ha na-eleghị onye ọbụla anya nʼihu, site nʼife nza, nʼihi na e nwere ndịisi ozi ebe nsọ, nweekwa ndịisi ozi Chineke nʼetiti ndị ikwu Elieza na Itama.
And he divided both the families one with the other by lot: for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 Ode akwụkwọ Shemaya, nwa Netanel, onye Livayị, dekọtara aha ndị a niile nʼihu eze, na ndịisi ozi eze, ya bụ, Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Ahimelek nwa Abịata, na ndịisi ezi ndị nchụaja, na nke ndị Livayị. E sitere nʼikwu Elieza, họrọ otu ezinaụlọ, sitekwa nʼikwu Itama họrọ otu ezinaụlọ.
And Semeias the son of Nathanael the scribe a Levite, wrote them down before the king and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the princes also of the priestly and Levitical families: one house, which was over the rest, of Eleazar: and another house, which had the rest under it, of Ithamar.
