1 Sɛnea wɔkyekyɛɛ Aaron asefo a wɔyɛ asɔfo no mu akuwakuw ma wɔsom no ni: Na Aaron mmabarima no yɛ Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar.
Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nanso Nadab ne Abihu wui a wonni mma ansa na wɔn agya rewu. Enti ɛkaa Eleasar ne Itamar nko ara a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ asɔfo.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3 Mmoa a Sadok a na ɔyɛ Eleasar aseni ne Ahimelek a na ɔyɛ Itamar aseni no boae no nti, Dawid kyekyɛɛ Aaron asefo mu akuwakuw sɛnea wɔn dwumadi te.
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4 Wɔkyɛɛ Itamar de mu akuw awotwe, efisɛ na Eleasar asefo mu mmusua mpanyimfo no dɔɔso.
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5 Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, kyekyɛɛ dwumadi ahorow nyinaa maa akuwakuw no, sɛnea ɛrenyɛ nhwɛanimsɛm biara. Efisɛ na mpanyimfo bebree a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn kronkronbea hɔ a wɔyɛ Eleasar ne Itamar asefo no nso wɔ hɔ.
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 Netanel babarima Semaia a na ɔyɛ Lewini no yɛɛ adwuma sɛ ɔkyerɛwfo. Ɔkyerɛw din ne nnwuma ahorow wɔ ɔhene no ne ɔsɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek ne asɔfo no ne Lewi mmusua no mpanyimfo anim. Eleasar ne Itamar asefo bobɔɔ ntonto sɛnea edidi so yi:
