1 Nyakati 24
1 Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya wana wa Aroni: Aroni alikuwa na wana wanne: Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
And [these are] their divisions, of the sons of Aaron. [The] sons of Aaron [are] Nadab, and Abihu, 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 dies—and Abihu—in the presence of their father, and they had no sons, and Eleazar and Ithamar act 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 distributes them—and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar—according to their office in their service;
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 are found of the sons of Eleazar more for heads of the mighty men than of the sons of Ithamar; and they distribute them. Of the sons of Eleazar, heads for [each] house of [their] fathers—sixteen; and of the sons of Ithamar, for [each] house of their fathers—eight.
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 they distribute them by lots, with one another, for they have been princes of the holy place and princes of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from 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.
And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writes them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites, one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.

19 Huu ulikuwa ndio utaratibu wao uliokubalika wa kuhudumu walipoingia katika Hekalu la Bwana kulingana na masharti waliyoelekezwa na Aroni baba yao, kama Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, alivyokuwa amemwamuru.
These [are] their appointments for their service, to come into the house of YHWH, according to their ordinance by the hand of their father Aaron, as YHWH God of Israel commanded them.
20 Kuhusu wazao wa Lawi waliobaki: Kutoka kwa wana wa Amramu: alikuwa Shubaeli; kutoka kwa wana wa Shubaeli: alikuwa Yedeya.
And of the sons of Levi who are left—of sons of Amram: Shubael; of sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.
21 Kwa wa Rehabia, kutoka kwa wanawe: Ishia alikuwa wa kwanza.
Of Rehabiah, of sons of Rehabiah: the head Ishshiah.
22 Kutoka kwa Waishari: alikuwa Shelomithi, kutoka kwa wana wa Shelomithi: alikuwa Yahathi.
Of the Izharite: Shelomoth; of sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.
23 Wana wa Hebroni: Yeria alikuwa mkuu, Amaria wa pili, Yahazieli wa tatu, na Yekameamu wa nne.
And sons of Jeriah: Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 Mwana wa Uzieli: alikuwa Mika; kutoka kwa wana wa Mika: alikuwa Shamiri.
Sons of Uzziel: Michah; of sons of Michah: Shamir.
25 Ndugu yake Mika: alikuwa Ishia; na kutoka kwa wana wa Ishia: alikuwa Zekaria.

Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons;
29 Kutoka kwa Kishi: mwana wa Kishi: alikuwa Yerameeli.
of Kish, sons of Kish: Jerahmeel.
30 Nao wana wa Mushi: walikuwa Mahli, Ederi na Yeremothi. Hawa walikuwa Walawi kulingana na jamaa zao.
And sons of Mushi [are] Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth; these [are] sons of the Levites, for the house of their fathers,
31 Pia walipiga kura kama vile ndugu zao wazao wa Aroni walivyofanya, mbele ya Mfalme Daudi, Sadoki, Ahimeleki na mbele ya viongozi wa jamaa ya makuhani na ya Walawi. Jamaa za ndugu wakubwa zilitendewa sawasawa na zile za ndugu wadogo.
and they also cast lots just as their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and heads of the fathers for priests and for Levites; the chief father just as his younger brother.
