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, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, 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 sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 Ny loka voalohany dia azon’ i Joariba, ny faharoa an’ i Jedaia,
So then the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah, the second;

12 ny fahiraika ambin’ ny folo an’ i Eliasiba, ny faharoa ambin’ ny folo an’ i Jakima,
for Eliashib, the eleventh, for Jakim, the twelfth;
13 ny fahatelo ambin’ ny folo an’ i Hopa, ny fahefatra ambin’ ny folo an’ i Jesebaba,
for Huppah, the thirteenth, for Jeshebeab, the fourteenth;
14 ny fahadimy ambin’ ny folo an’ i Bilga, ny fahenina ambin’ ny folo an’ Imera,
for Bilgah, the fifteenth, for Immer, the sixteenth;
15 ny fahafito ambin’ ny folo an’ i Hezira, ny fahavalo ambin’ ny folo an’ i Hafizeza,
for Hezir, the seventeenth, for Happizzez, the eighteenth;
16 ny fahasivy ambin’ ny folo an’ i Petahia, ny faharoa-polo an’ i Jehezekela,
for Pethahiah, the nineteenth, for Jehezkel, the twentieth;
17 ny fahiraika amby roa-polo an’ i Jakina, ny faharoa amby roa-polo an’ i Gamola,
for Jachin, the twenty-first, for Gamul, the twenty-second;
18 ny fahatelo amby roa-polo an’ i Delaia, ny fahefatra amby roa-polo an’ i Mazia.
for Delaiah, the twenty-third, for Maaziah, the twenty-fourth.
19 Ireo avy no antokony amin’ ny fanompoany izay idirany ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah araka ny fitsipika voatendrin’ i Arona rainy, araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, azy.
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 Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Levy sisa dia izao; Tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amrama dia Sobaela; tamin’ ny zanak’ i Sobaela dia Jedala.
Now, as for the sons of Levi who remained, of the sons of Amram, Shubael, of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
21 Ny amin’ i Rehabia: tamin’ ny taranak’ i Rehabia dia Jisia no voalohany.
Of Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the chief Isshiah;
22 Tamin’ ny Jizarita dia Selomota; tamin’ ny taranak’ i Selomota dia Jahata.
of the Izharites, Shelomoth, —of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath;
23 Ary ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Sebrona dia Jeria no voalohany, Amaria no faharoa, Jahaziela no fahatelo, Jekameama no fahefatra.
and, the sons [of Hebron], Jeriah, —Amariah, the second, Jehaziel, the third, Jekameam, the fourth;
24 Ny zanakalahin’ i Oziela dia Mika; tamin’ ny taranak’ i Mika dia Samira;

26 Ny zanakalahin’ i Merary dia Maly sy Mosy; ny zanakalahin’ i Jazia dia Beno.
The sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi, —the sons of Jaaziah, Beno;
27 Ny zanakalahin’ i Merary tamin’ i Jazia dia Beno sy Sohama sy Zakora ary Ibry.
the sons of Merari, of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri:
28 Avy tamin’ i Maly no nihavian’ i Eleazara, izay tsy nanan-janakalahy.
of Mahli, Eleazar, who had no sons;
29 Ny amin’ i Kisy, ny zananilahy dia Jeramela.
of Kish—the sons of Kish, Jerameel;
30 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Mosy dia Maly sy Edera ary Jerimota. Ireo no taranaky ny Levita araka ny fianakaviany avy.
and, the sons of Mushi, Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These, were the sons of the Levites, belonging to their ancestral house.
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.
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.
