1 Dnevnika 24
1 A meðu sinovima Aronovijem ovi su redovi: sinovi Aronovi bjehu Nadav i Avijud, Eleazar i Itamar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Ali Nadav i Avijud umriješe prije oca svojega i nemahu djece; zato biše sveštenici Eleazar i Itamar.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 I razdijeli ih David: Sadoka, koji bijaše od sinova Eleazarovijeh, i Ahimeleha, koji bijaše od sinova Itamarovijeh, po redu njihovu u službi njihovoj.
Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
4 I naðe se sinova Eleazarovijeh više poglavica nego sinova Itamarovijeh, kad ih razdijeliše: od sinova Eleazarovijeh bijaše poglavica po domovima otaèkim šesnaest, a od sinova Itamarovijeh osam po domovima otaèkim.
There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
5 I biše razdijeljeni ždrijebom i jedan i drugi; jer poglavari u svetinji i poglavari pred Bogom bijahu i od sinova Eleazarovijeh i od sinova Itamarovijeh.
There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
6 I popisa ih Semaja sin Natanailov pisar od plemena Levijeva pred carem i knezovima i Sadokom sveštenikom i Ahimelehom sinom Avijatarovijem i pred poglavarima porodica otaèkih meðu sveštenicima i Levitima, jedan dom otaèki uzevši za Eleazara a jedan za Itamara.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

19 To je red njihov za službu njihovu, kojim idu u dom Gospodnji na posao svoj po naredbi Arona oca svojega, kako mu bješe zapovjedio Gospod Bog Izrailjev.
Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.
20 A od ostalijeh sinova Levijevih bijaše od sinova Amramovijeh Suvailo; od sinova Suvailovijeh Jedaja,

The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. Those were descendants of Levi who were listed according to the leaders of their families.
31 I oni bacaše ždrijeb prema braæi svojoj, sinovima Aronovijem, pred Davidom i Sadokom i Ahimelehom i poglavarima domova otaèkih meðu sveštenicima i Levitima, od domova otaèkih svaki poglavar prema bratu svojemu mlaðemu.
The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
