1 Meʻa Hokohoko 24

1The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1KO ENI ia ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone. Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone eni: ko Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, pea mo ʻItama.

2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.

2Ka naʻe mate ʻa Natapi pea mo ʻApia ʻi he teʻeki ke mate ʻa ʻena tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau: pea ko ia naʻe fai ai ʻe ʻEliesa mo ʻItama ʻae ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

3With the help of Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.

3Pea naʻe vahevaheʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, ʻio, ʻa Satoki ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻi he tauhi naʻa nau fai.

4Since more chief men were found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers’ houses of the sons of Eleazar, and eight of the sons of Ithamar.

4Pea naʻe tokolahi hake ʻae kau tangataʻeiki naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama; pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa hono vahevaheʻi ʻakinautolu. ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa naʻe ai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ono naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ko e toko valu ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama ʻo fakatatau mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

5They divided them by lot, all alike, for there were sacred officers and officers of God among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.

5Naʻe pehē ni ʻae vahevahe ʻakinautolu ʻi he talotalo, ko e faʻahinga mo e faʻahinga; he naʻe fili mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa, pea mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama ʻae kau pule ki he faletapu, mo e kau pule ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.

6And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites, one father’s house being chosen for Eleazar and one chosen for Ithamar.

6Pea naʻe tohi ʻakinautolu ʻe Simaia ko e foha ʻo Netanili ko e tangata tohi, ko e taha ʻi he kau Livai, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, mo e houʻeiki, pea mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻeiki naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai: naʻe fili ʻae fale ʻe taha ʻoe kau mātuʻa maʻa ʻEliesa, pea ko e taha maʻa ʻItama.

18the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

18Ko hono uofulu ma tolu kia Tilaia, pea ko hono uofulu ma fā kia Measia.

19These had as their appointed duty in their service to come into the house of the LORD according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

19Ko hono vahevahe ia ʻokinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngāue ke haʻu ki fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki honau anga, ʻi he muimui kia ʻElone ko ʻenau tamai, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli kiate ia.
