1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Na zamu za wana wa Haruni ni hizi. Wana wa Haruni; Nadabu, na Abihu, na Eleazari, na Ithamari.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
Lakini hao Nadabu na Abihu walikufa kabla ya baba yao, wala hawakuwa na watoto; kwa hiyo Eleazari na Ithamari wakafanya ukuhani.
3 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.
Akawagawanya Daudi, na Sadoki wa wana wa Eleazari, na Ahimeleki wa wana wa Ithamari, katika utumishi kwa kadiri ya usimamizi wao.
4 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.
Wakaonekana wakuu wengi wa wana wa Eleazari kuliko wa wana wa Ithamari; wakagawanyika hivi; wa wana wa Eleazari kulikuwa na kumi na sita, waliokuwa wakuu wa mbari za baba zao; na wa wana wa Ithamari, sawasawa na mbari za baba zao, wanane.
5 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.
Ndivyo walivyogawanyika kwa kura, wao kwa wao; kwani kulikuwa na wakuu wa patakatifu, na wakuu wa Mungu, wa wana wa Eleazari, na wa wana wa Ithamari pia.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
Naye Shemaya, mwana wa Nethaneli, mwandishi, aliyekuwa wa Walawi, akawaandika mbele ya mfalme, na mbele ya wakuu, na Sadoki kuhani, na Ahimeleki, mwana wa Abiathari, na wakuu wa mbari za baba za makuhani, na za Walawi; ikatwaliwa ya Eleazari mbari moja ya baba, na moja ikatwaliwa ya Ithamari.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
ya kumi na tano Bilga, ya kumi na sita Imeri;
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
ya kumi na saba Heziri, ya kumi na nane Hapisesi;
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
ya kumi na kenda Pethahia, ya ishirini Ezekieli;
17 the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
ya ishirini na moja Yakini, ya ishirini na mbili Gamuli;
18 the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
ya ishirini na tatu Delaya, ya ishirini na nne Maazia.
19 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
Huu ndio usimamizi wao katika huduma yao, waingie nyumbani mwa Bwana kwa kadiri ya agizo lao, kwa mkono wa Haruni baba yao, kama Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, alivyomwamuru.

31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
