1 Ebyomumirembe 24
1 Ebibinja eby’abazzukulu ba Alooni nga bwe bagabanyizibwamu byali bwe biti: Batabani ba Alooni baali Nadabu, ne Abiku, ne Eriyazaali ne Isamaali.
Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Naye Nadabu ne Abiku baasooka kitaabwe okufa, ate nga baafa tebazzadde baana. Eriyazaali ne Isamaali kyebaava baawulibwa era ne batandika okukola omulimu ogw’obwakabona.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and without children. And so Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priestly office.
3 Dawudi ng’ayambibwako Zadooki muzzukulu wa Eriyazaali, ne Akimereki muzzukulu wa Isamaali, yabaawulamu ebibinja nga bwe baalondebwa mu kuweereza kwabwe.
And David distributed them, that is, Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry.
4 Kyazuulibwa nga abakulembeze mu bazzukulu ba Eriyazaali baali bangi okusinga abazzukulu ba Isamaali, bwe bati bwe bagabanyizibwamu: mu bazzukulu ba kkumi na mukaaga, okuba abakulu b’ennyumba ne ku bazzukulu ba Isamaali munaana okuba abakulu b’ennyumba.
And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the leading men, than of the sons of Ithamar. Therefore, he divided them so that there were, of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen leaders by their families, and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
5 Baabagabanyamu nga bakubye obululu, kubanga waaliwo abakungu abamu nga ba mu kifo ekitukuvu, n’abalala nga bakungu ba Katonda naye nga bonna bazzukulu ba Eriyazaali ne Isamaali.
Then he divided among them, in both families, by lot. For there were leaders of the sanctuary and leaders of God, as much from the sons of Eleazar as from the sons of Ithamar.
6 Semaaya Omuwandiisi, mutabani wa Nesaneri, Omuleevi, n’awandiikira amannya gaabwe mu maaso ga kabaka n’abakungu nga Zadooki kabona, ne Akimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za bakabona, n’Abaleevi, ennyumba emu ng’eronderwa Eriyazaali, n’endala ng’eronderwa Isamaali.
And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, wrote these down before the king and the leaders, with Zadok, the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and also the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families. And there was one house, which was preeminent over the others, that of Eleazar; and there was another house, which had the others under it, that of Ithamar.

These were their courses according to their ministries, so that they would enter into the house of the Lord in accord with their practice, under the hand of Aaron, their father, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed.
20 Bazzukulu ba Leevi abalala baali: okuva mu batabani ba Amulaamu, yali Subayeri; okuva mu batabani ba Subayeri yali Yedeya.
Now of the sons of Levi who were remaining, there were Shubael, from the sons of Amram, and Jehdeiah, from the sons of Shubael.
21 Ku ba Lekabiya, Issiya ye yali omuggulanda.

30 Ne ku batabani ba Musi, Makuli, ne Ederi ne Yerimosi. Abo be baali Abaleevi, ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali.
The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of Levi according to the houses of their families.
31 Era ne bano bwe batyo ne bakuba obululu, nga baganda baabwe bazzukulu ba Alooni bwe baakola, mu maaso ga Kabaka Dawudi, ne Zadooki, ne Akimereki, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za bakabona n’Abaleevi. Ennyumba ya muganda waabwe omukulu yayisibwanga mu ngeri y’emu ng’ey’omuto.
And they also cast lots concerning their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families, as much concerning the elder as the younger. The lot divided all things equitably.
