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;
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, 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.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as 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.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
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.
There were more leading men among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants, so they divided Eleazar's descendants into sixteen groups. They did this by heads of clans and by Ithamar's descendants. These divisions were eight in number, corresponding to their clans.
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 impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.
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.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe, a Levite, wrote down their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One clan was drawn by lot from Eleazar's descendants, and then the next would be drawn from Ithamar's descendants.
