I Kronik 24
1 A [oto] podział synów Aarona. Synami Aarona [byli]: Nedab, Abihu, Eleazar i Itamar;
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Ale Nadab i Abihu umarli przed swoim ojcem i nie mieli synów, dlatego Eleazar i Itamar sprawowali urząd kapłański.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 I Dawid podzielił ich, [to jest] Sadoka z synów Eleazara i Achimeleka z synów Itamara, według ich urzędu w ich służbie.
Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
4 I okazało się, że spośród synów Eleazara było więcej naczelników niż spośród synów Itamara. Tak więc ich podzielono: spośród synów Eleazara [było] szesnastu naczelników według rodów, a spośród synów Itamara według rodów – ośmiu.
There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
5 A zostali podzieleni przez losowanie, zarówno jedni, jak i drudzy, gdyż przełożeni świątyni i przełożeni domu Bożego byli spośród synów Eleazara, jak i spośród synów Itamara.
There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
6 A Szemajasz, syn Netaneela, pisarz z [pokolenia] Lewiego, spisał ich wobec króla i książąt, kapłana Sadok, Achimeleka, syna Abiatara, oraz naczelników rodów kapłańskich i lewickich. Losowano [na przemian] jeden dom z rodu Eleazara, drugi – z Itamara.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

19 Taka [była] kolejność w służbie, aby wchodzili do domu PANA zgodnie z ustaleniem, jakie pochodziło od ich ojca Aarona, jak mu rozkazał PAN, Bóg Izraela.
Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.

The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. Those were descendants of Levi who were listed according to the leaders of their families.
31 Oni również rzucali losy tak samo jak ich bracia, synowie Aarona, przed królem Dawidem, Sadokiem, Achimelekiem oraz naczelnikami rodów kapłańskich i lewickich – naczelnicy rodów na równi z młodszymi ich braćmi.
The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
