1 Whakapapa 24
1 Na, ko nga wehenga o nga tama a Arona koia enei. Ko nga tama a Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara.
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 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.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 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.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
4 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.
There were more leading men among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants, so they divided Eleazar's descendants into sixteen groups. They did this by heads of clans and by Ithamar's descendants. These divisions were eight in number, corresponding to their clans.
5 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.
They divided them impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.
6 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.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe, a Levite, wrote down their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One clan was drawn by lot from Eleazar's descendants, and then the next would be drawn from Ithamar's descendants.

This was the order of their service, when they came into Yahweh's house, following the procedure given to them by Aaron their ancestor, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had instructed him.

These men who were the head of each father's house and each of their younger brothers, cast lots in the presence of King David, and Zadok and Ahimelech, along with the leaders of the families of the priests and Levites. They cast lots just as Aaron's descendants had done.
