1 Imilando 24
1 Lezi yizo izigaba zamadodana ka-Aroni: Amadodana ka-Aroni nguNadabi, lo-Abhihu, lo-Eliyazari kanye lo-Ithamari.
Now, the sons of Aaron, had their courses, —the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;
2 Kodwa uNadabi lo-Abhihu bafa uyise engakafi, njalo babengelamadodana; ngakho u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari yibo ababa ngabaphristi.
but Nadab and Abihu, died, before their father, and sons, had they none, —but Eleazar and Ithamar became priests;
3 Ngokuphathisana loZadokhi owosendo luka-Eliyazari kanye lo-Ahimeleki owosendo luka-Ithamari, uDavida wabehlukanisa ngezigaba kusiya ngemisebenzi ababemele bayenze.
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 Babebanengi abosendo luka-Eliyazari abakhokheli kulabosendo luka-Ithamari ngakho behlukaniswa bamiswa njengalokhu: kwakusiba ngabalitshumi lesithupha kwabosendo luka-Eliyazari abazinhloko labayisificaminwembili kusendo luka-Ithamari.
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 Babakhetha kungelakubandlulula ngokuphosa inkatho, ngoba zazikhona izikhulu zendawo yokuphephela lezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabosendo luka-Eliyazari laphakathi koluka-Ithamari.
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 Umlobi uShemaya indodana kaNethaneli, umLevi, waloba amabizo abo phambi kwenkosi kanye lezikhulu: uZadokhi umphristi, lo-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Abhiyathari kanye lenhloko zezimuli zabaphristi labaLevi, kuthathwa imuli eyodwa ku-Eliyazari kuphinde kuthathwe imuli eyodwa ku-Ithamari.
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 Inkatho yakuqala yadla uJehoyaribhi, eyesibili yadla uJedaya,
So then the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah, the second;
8 eyesithathu yadla uHarimu, eyesine yadla uSeworimi,
for Harim, the third, for Seorim, the fourth;
9 eyesihlanu yadla uMalikhija, eyesithupha yadla uMijamini,
for Malchijah, the fifth, for Mijamin, the sixth;
10 eyesikhombisa yadla uHakhozi, eyesificaminwembili yadla u-Abhija,
for Hakkoz, the seventh, for Abijah, the eighth;
11 eyesificamunwemunye yadla uJeshuwa, eyetshumi yadla uShekhaniya,
for Jeshua, the ninth, for Shecaniah, the tenth;
12 eyetshumi lanye yadla u-Eliyashibi, eyetshumi lambili yadla uJakhimi,
for Eliashib, the eleventh, for Jakim, the twelfth;
13 eyetshumi lantathu yadla uHupha, eyetshumi lane yadla uJeshebheyabi,
for Huppah, the thirteenth, for Jeshebeab, the fourteenth;
14 eyetshumi lanhlanu yadla uBhiliga, eyetshumi lesithupha yadla u-Imeri,
for Bilgah, the fifteenth, for Immer, the sixteenth;
15 eyetshumi lesikhombisa yadla uHeziri, eyetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili yadla uHapizezi,
for Hezir, the seventeenth, for Happizzez, the eighteenth;
16 eyetshumi lesificamunwemunye yadla uPhethahiya, eyamatshumi amabili yadla uHezekhiyeli,
for Pethahiah, the nineteenth, for Jehezkel, the twentieth;
17 eyamatshumi amabili lanye yadla uJakhini, eyamatshumi amabili lambili yadla uGamuli,
for Jachin, the twenty-first, for Gamul, the twenty-second;
18 eyamatshumi amabili lantathu yadla uDelaya, eyamatshumi amabili lane yadla uMaziya.
for Delaiah, the twenty-third, for Maaziah, the twenty-fourth.
19 Yizo lezi izigaba ababehlukaniswe ngazo ukuze benze umsebenzi wokukhonza ekungeneni kwabo ethempelini likaThixo, ngezimiso ezenzelwa ukhokho wabo u-Aroni, njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
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.

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.
