1 Sɛdeɛ wɔkyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ no mu akuakuo ma wɔsomeeɛ no nie: Na Aaron mmammarima no yɛ Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa 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 wuiɛ a wɔnni mma ansa na wɔn agya rewu. Enti, ɛkaa Eleasa ne Itamar nko ara a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Elezar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3 Mmoa a Sadok a na ɔyɛ Eleasa aseni ne Ahimelek a na ɔyɛ Itamar aseni no boaa no enti, Dawid kyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ mu akuakuo sɛdeɛ wɔn dwumadie teɛ.
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 deɛ mu akuo nwɔtwe, ɛfiri sɛ, na Eleasa asefoɔ mu mmusua mpanimfoɔ 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 dwumadie ahodoɔ nyinaa maa akuakuo no, sɛdeɛ ɛrenyɛ nhwɛanimsɛm biara. Ɛfiri sɛ, na mpanimfoɔ bebree a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn kronkronbea hɔ a wɔyɛ Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ 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 Elohim, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 Netanel babarima Semaia a na ɔyɛ Lewini no yɛɛ adwuma sɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ. Ɔtwerɛɛ din ne nnwuma ahodoɔ wɔ ɔhene no ne ɔsɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek ne asɔfoɔ no ne Lewi mmusua no mpanimfoɔ anim. Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ bobɔɔ ntonto sɛdeɛ ɛdidi soɔ yi:
