1 Seenaa 24
1 Ilmaan Aroon akka armaan gadiitti ramadaman: Ilmaan Aroon Naadaab, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar turan.
These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Naadaabii fi Abiihuu garuu utuu ijoollee hin dhalchin abbaa isaanii dursanii duʼan; kanaafuu Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar luboota taʼanii tajaajilan.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 Daawitis gargaarsa Zaadoq sanyii Eleʼaazaar sanaatii fi Ahiimelek sanyii Iitaamaariin akkuma tajaajila isaaniitti garee gareen isaan ramade.
With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.
4 Sanyiiwwan Iitaamaarii caalaa sanyiiwwan Eleʼaazaar keessaa hooggantoonni hedduun ni argaman; isaanis akkanatti ramadaman: sanyiiwwan Eleʼaazaar keessaa abbootii maatii kudha jaʼa, sanyiiwwan Iitaamaar keessaa immoo abbootii maatii saddeet.
Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5 Isaan sababii sanyiiwwan Eleʼaazaarii fi sanyiiwwan Iitaamaar keessa qondaaltonni mana qulqullummaatii fi qondaaltonni Waaqaa turaniif loogii malee ixaadhaan isaan ramadan.
Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
6 Shemaaʼiyaan ilmi Naatnaaʼel namicha gosa Lewwii barreessaan sun fuula mootichaatii fi qondaaltotaa duratti maqaa isaanii Zaadoq lubicha, Ahiimelek ilma Abiyaataar, abbootii maatiiwwan lubootaatii fi Lewwotaa, innis gosa Eleʼaazaar keessaa maatii tokko, gosa Iitaamaar keessaa immoo maatii tokko fuudhee barreesse.
The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.

This was their appointed order for service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their forefather Aaron, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.
