1 Seenaa 24
1 Ilmaan Aroon akka armaan gadiitti ramadaman: Ilmaan Aroon Naadaab, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar turan.
The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. 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. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.
3 Daawitis gargaarsa Zaadoq sanyii Eleʼaazaar sanaatii fi Ahiimelek sanyii Iitaamaariin akkuma tajaajila isaaniitti garee gareen isaan ramade.
With the help of Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ithamar, a descendant Ahimelech, David placed them in divisions according to their appointed duties.
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.
Because Eleazar's descendants had more leaders than those of Ithamar, they were divided like this: sixteen family leaders 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.
They were divided by casting lots, without preference, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God from both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
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.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, was the secretary. He wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. One family from Eleazar and one from Ithamar were chosen in turn.
