1 Khokhuen 24
1 Aaron koca rhoek kah a boelnah rhoek la, Aaron koca ah Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar.
The sons of Aaron were placed in divisions as follows. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Tedae Nadab neh Abihu tah a napa rhoek hmai ah duek rhoi. Amih rhoi te ca tongpa a om pawt dongah Eleazar neh Ithamar te khosoih rhoi.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons. Only Eleazar and Ithamar carried on as priests.
3 Amih khaw David loh ana tael coeng tih Eleazar koca lamkah Zadok neh Ithamar koca lamkah Ahimelek tah amih kah thothuengnah dongah amih aka cawhkung la a khueh.
With the help of Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ithamar, a descendant Ahimelech, David placed them in divisions according to their appointed duties.

Because Eleazar's descendants had more leaders than those of Ithamar, they were divided like this: sixteen family leaders from the descendants of Eleazar, and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5 Te tlam he hmulung neh amih te a tael uh. Te dongah Eleazar koca lamkah kah neh Ithamar koca lamkah he hmuencim mangpa neh Pathen mangpa la om uh.
They were divided by casting lots, without preference, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God from both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
