1 Nyakati 24
1 Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya wana wa Aroni: Aroni alikuwa na wana wanne: Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
And [they number] the sons of Aaron in [their] division, Nadab, and Abiud, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadabu na Abihu walikufa kabla ya baba yao, nao hawakuwa na wana; kwa hiyo ndugu zao Eleazari na Ithamari wakahudumu kama makuhani.
And Nadab and Abiud died before their father, and they had no sons: so Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron ministered as priests.
3 Akisaidiwa na Sadoki mwana wa Eleazari na Ahimeleki mwana wa Ithamari, Daudi aliwapanga wazao wa Aroni katika migawanyo kufuatana na wajibu wa huduma zao.
And David distributed them, even Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Achimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their numbering, according to their service, according to the houses of their fathers.
4 Idadi kubwa ya viongozi walipatikana miongoni mwa wazao wa Eleazari, kuliko miongoni mwa wazao wa Ithamari, nao waligawanywa kwa uwiano: Viongozi kumi na sita kutoka jamaa ya wazao wa Eleazari na viongozi wanane kutoka jamaa ya wazao wa Ithamari.
And there were found [among] the sons of Eleazar more chiefs of the mighty ones, than of the sons of Ithamar: and he divided them, sixteen heads of families to the sons of Eleazar, eight according to [their] families to the sons of Ithamar.
5 Waliwagawanya bila upendeleo kwa kupiga kura, kwa kuwa kulikuwa na maafisa wa mahali patakatifu na maafisa wa Mungu miongoni mwa wazao wale wa Eleazari na wale wa Ithamari.
And he divided them according to their lots, one with the other; for there were those who had charge of the holy things, and those who had charge of the [house] of the Lord among the sons of Eleazar, and among the sons of Ithamar.
6 Mwandishi Shemaya mwana wa Nethaneli, Mlawi, aliorodhesha majina yao mbele ya Mfalme Daudi na maafisa: Kuhani Sadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari, na viongozi wa jamaa za makuhani na za Walawi: jamaa moja ikitoka upande wa Eleazari na nyingine upande wa Ithamari.
