1 Seenaa 24
1 Ilmaan Aroon akka armaan gadiitti ramadaman: Ilmaan Aroon Naadaab, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar turan.
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: 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.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, 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.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
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.
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 Isaan sababii sanyiiwwan Eleʼaazaarii fi sanyiiwwan Iitaamaar keessa qondaaltonni mana qulqullummaatii fi qondaaltonni Waaqaa turaniif loogii malee ixaadhaan isaan ramadan.
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 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 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.

19 Kun seera isaan yeroo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenanitti ittiin tajaajilanii dha; seera kanas abbaa isaanii Aroonitu akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel isa ajajetti isaaniif kenne.
This was the order of their service, when they came into Yahweh's house, following the procedure given to them by Aaron their ancestor, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had instructed him.
