1 Crónicas 24
1 Los hijos de Aarón fueron colocados en divisiones de la siguiente manera. Los hijos de Aarón eran Nadab, Abiú, Eleazar e 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 Pero Nadab y Abiú murieron antes que su padre, y no tuvieron hijos. Sólo Eleazar e Itamar continuaron como sacerdotes.
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 Con la ayuda de Sadoc, descendiente de Eleazar, y de Itamar, descendiente de Ahimelec, David los colocó en divisiones según sus funciones asignadas.
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 Como los descendientes de Eleazar tenían más jefes que los de Itamar, se dividieron así: dieciséis jefes de familia de los descendientes de Eleazar, y ocho de los descendientes de Itamar.
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 Se dividieron echando suertes, sin preferencia, porque había oficiales del santuario y oficiales de Dios tanto de los hijos de Eleazar como de los hijos de Itamar.
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 Semaías hijo de Netanel, un levita, era el secretario. Anotó los nombres y las asignaciones en presencia del rey, de los funcionarios, del sacerdote Sadoc, de Ahimelec hijo de Abiatar y de los jefes de familia de los sacerdotes y levitas. Una familia de Eleazar y otra de Itamar fueron elegidas por turno.
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.
