1 Crónicas 24
1 Estas fueron las divisiones de los hijos de Aarón. Los hijos de Aarón: 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, por lo que Eleazar e Itamar sirvieron 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 David, con Sadoc de los hijos de Eleazar y Ahimelec de los hijos de Itamar, los repartió según su ordenamiento en su servicio.
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 Se encontraron más jefes de los hijos de Eleazar que de los hijos de Itamar, y fueron repartidos así: de los hijos de Eleazar había dieciséis, jefes de casas paternas; y de los hijos de Itamar, según las casas paternas, ocho.
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 Así fueron repartidos imparcialmente por sorteo; porque había príncipes del santuario y príncipes 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, escriba, que era de los levitas, los escribió en presencia del rey, de los príncipes, del sacerdote Sadoc, de Ajimelec hijo de Abiatar, y de los jefes de las casas paternas de los sacerdotes y de los levitas; una casa paterna fue tomada para Eleazar, y otra para Itamar.
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.
