Taariikhdii Kowaad 24
1 Oo kooxihii reer Haaruunna waa kuwan. Wiilashii Haaruun waxay ahaayeen Naadaab, iyo Abiihuu, iyo Elecaasaar, iyo Iitaamaar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Laakiinse Naadaab iyo Abiihuuba aabbahood way ka hor dhinteen, oo carruurna ma ay lahayn, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed hawshii wadaadnimada waxaa samayn jiray Elecaasaar iyo Iitaamaar.
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 Oo Daa'uud oo ay la jiraan Saadooq oo ahaa reer Elecaasaar iyo Axiimeleg oo ahaa reer Iitaamaar ayaa iyagii u kala qaybiyey sidii hawshoodu kala ahayd.
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 Oo reer Elecaasaar waxaa laga dhex helay niman madax ah oo ka badan intii reer Iitaamaar laga helay, oo iyagii sidanaa loo kala qaybiyey, reer Elecaasaar waxaa ku jiray lix iyo toban nin, oo qolooyin madax u ah, oo reer Iitaamaarna waxaa ku jiray siddeed, sidii qolooyinkoodu kala ahaayeen.
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 Oo sidanaa iyagii saami loogu kala qaybiyey, oo caynba caynkii kale waa lagu daray, waayo, waxaa jiray amiirro meesha quduuska ah, iyo amiirro Ilaah oo ahaa reer Elecaasaar iyo reer Iitaamaar labadaba.
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 Oo Shemacyaah ina Netaneel oo karraanigii ahaa, oo ahaa reer Laawi ayaa iyagii ku hor qoray boqorkii, iyo amiirradii, iyo wadaadkii Saadooq, iyo Axiimeleg ina Aabyaataar, iyo madaxdii qolooyinkii wadaaddada iyo reer Laawi ahaa, in reer loo qaado reer Elecaasaar, reerna loo qaado reer Iitaamaar.
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.

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 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.
