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.
These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, 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 served as priests.
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.
David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
4 Wɔkyɛɛ Itamar de mu akuw awotwe, efisɛ na Eleasar asefo mu mmusua mpanyimfo no dɔɔso.
There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.
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 they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both 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:
