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, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, 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 sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;
3 Dawudi ng’ayambibwako Zadooki muzzukulu wa Eriyazaali, ne Akimereki muzzukulu wa Isamaali, yabaawulamu ebibinja nga bwe baalondebwa mu kuweereza kwabwe.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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.
7 Akalulu akaasooka kaagwa ku Yekoyalibu, n’akokubiri ku Yedaya,
So then the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah, the second;

16 n’ak’ekkumi n’omwenda ku Pesakiya, n’ak’amakumi abiri ku Yekezukeri,
for Pethahiah, the nineteenth, for Jehezkel, the twentieth;
17 ak’amakumi abiri mu kamu ku Yakini, n’ak’amakumi abiri mu bubiri ku Gamuli,
for Jachin, the twenty-first, for Gamul, the twenty-second;
18 n’ak’amakumi abiri mu busatu ku Deraya, n’ak’amakumi abiri mu buna ku Maaziya.
for Delaiah, the twenty-third, for Maaziah, the twenty-fourth.
19 Kuno kwe kwali okulondebwa kw’obuweereza bwabwe, bwe baayingiranga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, nga bagoberera ebiragiro ebyabaweebwa jjajjaabwe Alooni, nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bwe yamulagira.
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.
20 Bazzukulu ba Leevi abalala baali: okuva mu batabani ba Amulaamu, yali Subayeri; okuva mu batabani ba Subayeri yali Yedeya.

The sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi, —the sons of Jaaziah, Beno;
27 Batabani ba Merali, mu Yaaziya: Beno, ne Sokamu, ne Zakkuli, ne Ibuli.

28 Okuva ku Makuli, Eriyazaali, ataazaala baana babulenzi.

29 Okuva ku Kiisi, yali mutabani we Yerameeri.
of Kish—the sons of Kish, Jerameel;
30 Ne ku batabani ba Musi, Makuli, ne Ederi ne Yerimosi. Abo be baali Abaleevi, ng’ennyumba zaabwe bwe zaali.
and, the sons of Mushi, Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These, were the sons of the Levites, belonging to their ancestral house.
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.
Moreover, they also, cast lots along with their brethren the sons of Aaron, before David the king and Zadok and Ahimelech, and the ancestral chiefs, pertaining to the priests and to the Levites, the ancestral chief along with his younger brethren.
