1 Imilando 24
1 Njalo izigaba zamadodana kaAroni. Amadodana kaAroni: ONadabi, loAbihu, uEleyazare, loIthamari.
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Kodwa oNadabi loAbihu bafa mandulo kuloyise, njalo bengelabantwana; ngakho oEleyazare loIthamari basebenza njengabapristi.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3 UDavida wasebehlukanisa, loZadoki emadodaneni kaEleyazare, loAhimeleki emadodaneni kaIthamari, ngokwesikhundla sabo enkonzweni yabo.
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4 Kwatholakala emadodaneni kaEleyazare inhloko zamaqhawe amanengi okwedlula emadodaneni kaIthamari mhla bewehlukanisa; emadodaneni kaEleyazare kwakulenhloko ezilitshumi lesithupha zendlu yaboyise, lemadodaneni kaIthamari ngokwendlu yaboyise, eziyisificaminwembili.
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5 Basebezehlukanisa ngezinkatho, lezi laleziyana, ngoba izinduna zendlu engcwele lezinduna zikaNkulunkulu zazivela emadodaneni kaEleyazare lemadodaneni kaIthamari.
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 UShemaya indodana kaNethaneli umbhali, ovela kumaLevi, wasezibhala phambi kwenkosi leziphathamandla loZadoki umpristi loAhimeleki indodana kaAbhiyatha, lenhloko zaboyise zabapristi lezamaLevi; indlu kayise eyodwa yathathelwa uEleyazare, leyodwa yathathelwa uIthamari.
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
