1 Nyakati 24
1 Makundi vya kazi kulingana na uzao wa Aroni yalikuwa haya: 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 kufa. Walikuwa hawana watoto, kwahiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walitumika 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 Daudi pamoja na Zadoki, uzao wa Eleazari, na Ahimeleki, uzao wa Ithamari, waliwagawanya katika makundi yao ya kazi kama makuhani.
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 Kulikuwa na wanaume viongozi zaidi kati ya uzao wa Eleazari kuliko kati ya uzao wa Ithamari, kwahiyo waligawanya uzao wa Eleazari katika makundi kumi na sita. Walifanya hivyo na viongozi wa ukoo na uzao wa Ithamari. Magawanyo haya yalikuwa nane kwa idadi, sambamba na koo zao.
And there were found [amongst] 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 kura, kwa kuwa walikuwa waamuzi watakatifu na waamuzi wa Mungu, kutoka pande zote uzao wa Eleazari na uzao 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 amongst the sons of Eleazar, and amongst the sons of Ithamar.
6 Shemaia mwana wa Nethaneli mwandishi, Mlawi, aliandika majina yao mbele ya mfalme, muamuzi, kuhani Zadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari, na viongozi wa makuhani na familia za Walawi. Ukoo mmoja ulichaguliwa kwa kura kutoka uzao wa Eleazari, na kisha uliofata utachaguliwa kutoka uzao wa Ithhamari.
And Samaias the son of Nathanael, the scribe, [of the family] of Levi, wrote them down before the king, and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar [were present]; and the heads of the families of the priests and the Levites, each of a household [were assigned] one to Eleazar, and one to Ithamar.
