13 Walirusha kura, wadogo kwa wakubwa, kulingana na familia zao, kwa kila lango.
And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their family divisions, for each and every gate.
14 Kura ilipo rushwa kwa lango la mashariki, ilimuangukia Shelemia. Kisha wakarusha kura kwa Zekaria mwana wake, mshauri makini, na kura yake ikatokea lango la kaskazini.
And the lot at the east fell for Shelemyahu. And for Zecharyahu his son, an intelligent counsellor, they cast lots, and his lot came out at the north.
