24  Na, ko nga wehenga o nga tama a Arona koia enei. Ko nga tama a Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara.

I mate ia a Natapa raua ko Apihu ki te aroaro o to raua papa; kahore hoki a raua tama: a na Ereatara raua ko Itamara i mahi nga mahi a te tohunga.

Na ka wehea ratou e Rawiri ratou ko Haroko o nga tama a Ereatara, ko Ahimereke o nga tama a Itamara, he mea whakarite ki nga tikanga ma ratou mo a ratou mahi.

Na ka kitea he tokomaha rawa nga tino tangata o nga tama a Ereatara i o nga tama a Itamara; a ko to ratou wehenga tenei; o nga tama a Ereatara kotahi tekau ma ono nga tino tangata o nga whare o o ratou matua; o nga tama a Itamara, o nga whare o o ratou matua, tokowaru.

Ko to ratou wehenga hoki he mea rota, ko enei hui tahi ki era; a tera nga rangatira o te wahi tapu, me nga rangatira o te whare o te Atua no nga tama a Ereatara, no nga tama ano hoki a Itamara.

He mea tuhituhi ratou na Hemaia karaipi, tama a Netaneere, o nga Riwaiti, ki te aroaro o te kingi, o nga rangatira, o Haroko tohunga raua ko Ahimereke tama a Apiatara, ki te aroaro ano o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga tohunga, o nga Riwa iti: kotahi whare matua i riro mo Ereatara, kotahi i riro mo Itamara.

Na, ko te putanga o te rota tuatahi, no Tehoiaripi; ko te tuarua no Iraia,

Ko te tuatoru no Harimi, ko te tuawha no Heorimi,

Ko te tuarima no Marakia, ko te tuaono no Miiamini,

10 Ko te tuawhitu no Hakoto, ko te tuawaru no Apia,

11 Ko te tuaiwa no Hehua, ko te tekau no Hekania,

12 Ko te tekau ma tahi no Eriahipi, ko te tekau ma rua no Iakimi,

13 Ko te tekau ma toru no Hupa, ko te tekau ma wha o Iehepeapa,

14 Ko te tekau ma rima no Pirika, ko te tekau ma ono no Imere,

15 Ko te tekau ma whitu no Hetiri, ko te tekau ma waru no Apahehe,

16 Ko te tekau ma iwa no Petahia, ko te rua tekau no Ehekiere,

17 Ko te rua tekau ma tahi no Iakini, ko te rua tekau ma rua no Kamuru,

18 Ko te rua taku ma toru no Teraia, ko te rua tekau ma wha no Maatia.

19 Ko nga tikanga enei mo ratou, mo a ratou mahi, mo te tomo ki te whare o Ihowa, i runga i te ritenga mo ratou, i whakaritea e to ratou papa, e Arona, ko ta Ihowa, ko ta te Atua o Iharaira i whakahau ai ki a ia.

20 Na ko era atu o nga tama a Riwai: o nga tama a Amarama; ko Hupaere: o nga tama a Hupaere; ko Iehereia.

21 Na ko a Rehapia: o nga tama a Rehapia; ko te tuatahi ko Ihiia.

22 O nga Itihari; ko Heromoto: o nga tama a Heromoto; ko Iahata.

23 Na, ko nga tama a Heperona; ko Teria te tuatahi, ko Amaria te tuarua, ko Tahatiere te tuatoru, ko Tekameama te tuawha.

24 O nga tama a Utiere; ko Mika: o nga tama a Mika; ko Hamiri.

25 Ko te teina o Mika; ko Ihiia: o nga tama a Ihiia; ko Hakaraia.

26 Ko nga tama a Merari; ko Mahari, ko Muhi: ko nga tama a Taatia; ko Peno.

27 Ko nga tama a Merari, ara a Taatia; ko Peno, ko Hohama, ko Takuru, ko Ipiri.

28 Na Mahari, ko Ereatara; a kahore a tenei tama.

29 Na ko a Kihi: ko te tama a Kihi, ko Ierameere.

30 Ko nga tama ano a Muhi; ko Mahari, ko Erere, ko Terimoto. Ko nga tama enei a nga Riwaiti, no nga whare o o ratou matua.

31 I maka rota ano enei i pera me o ratou tuakana, me nga tama a Arona, i te aroaro o Kingi Rawiri, o Haroko ano raua ko Ahimereke, o nga upoko ano o nga whare o nga matua o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, ara o nga tino matua i te ritenga o o ratou te ina.

The Divisions of Priests

24 These were the divisions(A) of the descendants of Aaron:(B)

The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(C) But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did,(D) and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests. With the help of Zadok(E) a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelek a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering. A larger number of leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than among Ithamar’s, and they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of families from Eleazar’s descendants and eight heads of families from Ithamar’s descendants. They divided them impartially by casting lots,(F) for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.

The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officials: Zadok the priest, Ahimelek(G) son of Abiathar and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.

The first lot fell to Jehoiarib,

the second to Jedaiah,(H)

the third to Harim,(I)

the fourth to Seorim,

the fifth to Malkijah,

the sixth to Mijamin,

10 the seventh to Hakkoz,

the eighth to Abijah,(J)

11 the ninth to Jeshua,

the tenth to Shekaniah,

12 the eleventh to Eliashib,

the twelfth to Jakim,

13 the thirteenth to Huppah,

the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

14 the fifteenth to Bilgah,

the sixteenth to Immer,(K)

15 the seventeenth to Hezir,(L)

the eighteenth to Happizzez,

16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah,

the twentieth to Jehezkel,

17 the twenty-first to Jakin,

the twenty-second to Gamul,

18 the twenty-third to Delaiah

and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

19 This was their appointed order of ministering when they entered the temple of the Lord, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

The Rest of the Levites

20 As for the rest of the descendants of Levi:(M)

from the sons of Amram: Shubael;

from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.

21 As for Rehabiah,(N) from his sons:

Ishiah was the first.

22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth;

from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.

23 The sons of Hebron:(O) Jeriah the first,[a] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.

24 The son of Uzziel: Micah;

from the sons of Micah: Shamir.

25 The brother of Micah: Ishiah;

from the sons of Ishiah: Zechariah.

26 The sons of Merari:(P) Mahli and Mushi.

The son of Jaaziah: Beno.

27 The sons of Merari:

from Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zakkur and Ibri.

28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

29 From Kish: the son of Kish:

Jerahmeel.

30 And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth.

These were the Levites, according to their families. 31 They also cast lots,(Q) just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.
