1 Tantara 24
1 Ary ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Arona dia izao no nizarana azy ho antokony: Ny zanakalahin’ i Arona dia Nadaba sy Abiho sy Eleazara ary Itamara;
Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 fa Nadaba sy Abiho dia maty talohan-drainy sady samy tsy nanan-janaka, koa dia Eleazara sy Itamara no nanao fisoronana.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and without children. And so Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priestly office.
3 Ary Davida sy Zadoka, isan’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, sy Ahimeleka, isan’ ny taranak’ Itamara, dia nizara azy araka ny antokony sy ny fanompoany avy.
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 Ary ny lohany tamin’ ireo, dia tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, no maromaro kokoa noho ny tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara, ka dia nozarainy toy izao izy: Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara dia enina ambin’ ny folo no lohan’ ny fianakaviana; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara dia valo kosa no lohan’ ny fianakaviana.
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 Ary samy nozarazaraina tamin’ ny filokana avokoa izy rehetra; fa samy mpifehy masìna, dia mpifehy ho an’ Andriamanitra avokoa, na ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Eleazara, na ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ Itamara.
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 Ary Semaia, zanak’ i Netanela, mpanoratra anankiray tamin’ ny Levita, no nanoratra azy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy Zadoka mpisorona sy Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, sy teo anatrehan’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita: fianakaviana iray no nalaina ho an’ i Eleazara, ary iray kosa ho an’ Itamara.
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 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Levy sisa dia izao; Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amrama dia Sobaela; tamin’ ny zanak’ i Sobaela dia Jedala.
Now of the sons of Levi who were remaining, there were Shubael, from the sons of Amram, and Jehdeiah, from the sons of Shubael.

The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of Levi according to the houses of their families.
31 Ary ireo dia mba niara-niloka tamin’ ny rahalahiny, taranak’ i Arona, teo anatrehan’ i Davida mpanjaka sy Zadota sy Ahimeleka sy ny lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita: niara-niloka avokoa na ny zokiny na ny zandriny.
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.
