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.
And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, 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 Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
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 with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
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 more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
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.
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for they 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 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites: one father's house being taken for Eleazar, and proportionately for Ithamar.
