1 Masolo ya Kala 24
1 Tala bituka ya bana mibali ya Aron: Nadabi, Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.
Now, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;
2 Nadabi mpe Abiyu bakufaki liboso ya tata na bango mpe batikalaki kobota te. Eleazari mpe Itamari basalaki mosala na bango ya bonganga-Nzambe.
but Nadab and Abihu, died, before their father, and sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;
3 Tala ndenge Davidi akabolaki bango kolanda misala oyo bapesaki bango: Tsadoki, na etuka ya Eleazari; Ayimeleki, na etuka ya Itamari.
and David apportioned to them courses, both to Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and to Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, —by their appointed place in their service.
4 Bamonaki ete kati na bakitani ya Eleazari, bana mibali bazalaki ebele koleka bato oyo bazalaki kati na bakitani ya Itamari. Boye, bakabolaki bana mibali ya Eleazari lokola bakonzi ya mabota zomi na motoba mpe bana mibali ya Itamari lokola bakonzi ya mabota mwambe.
But the sons of Eleazar were found to be more numerous, by the chiefs of their able men, than were the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them, —the sons of Eleazar, had chiefs, of the ancestral house, sixteen, whereas, the sons of Ithamar, had of their ancestral house, eight.
5 Babetaki zeke mpo na kokabola bango, pamba te kati na bakitani ya Eleazari mpe ya Itamari, ezalaki na bakambi ya Esika ya bule mpe bakambi ya mosala ya Nzambe.
They divided them, therefore, by [casting] lots, these with those, —for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, from among the sons of Eleazar, and among the sons of Ithamar.
6 Shemaya, mokomi mikanda, mwana mobali ya Netaneeli, na libota ya Levi, akomaki bakombo na bango na miso ya mokonzi, ya bakambi, ya Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, ya Ayimeleki, mwana mobali ya Abiatari; mpe ya bakambi ya mabota ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi. Babetaki zeke mbala mibale mpo na etuka ya Eleazari, mpe mbala moko, mpo na etuka ya Itamari.
And Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe from among the Levites, wrote them down, before the king and the rulers and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, —one ancestral house, was taken for Eleazar, and, was equally taken, for Ithamar.

19 Ezalaki ndenge wana nde bakabolaki bango mpe bazalaki kolandana kati na mosala mpo na kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Bazalaki kosala misala na bango kolanda mibeko oyo tata na bango, Aron, apesaki bango, mpe ndenge Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, atindaki ye.
These, were their appointed places for their service, for entering the house of Yahweh, according to the regulation of them, by the hand of Aaron their father, —just as Yahweh God of Israel, commanded him.
