1 Tawarikh 24
1 Harun mempunyai empat anak laki-laki: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar dan Itamar. Nadab dan Abihu meninggal lebih dahulu dari ayah mereka tanpa mempunyai anak. Karena itu Eleazar dan Itamar saudara-saudara mereka menjadi imam. Daud membagi keturunan Harun dalam kelompok-kelompok menurut tugas mereka. Dalam pekerjaan pengelompokan itu Daud dibantu oleh Zadok keturunan Eleazar dan oleh Ahimelekh keturunan Itamar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
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 Keturunan Itamar dibagi menjadi delapan kelompok, sedangkan keturunan Eleazar menjadi enam belas kelompok, sebab di dalam keturunan Eleazar terdapat lebih banyak laki-laki kepala keluarga.
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 Karena baik di dalam keturunan Eleazar maupun di dalam keturunan Itamar ada pejabat-pejabat Rumah TUHAN dan pemimpin-pemimpin agama, maka pembagian tugas dilaksanakan dengan undian.
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 Keturunan Eleazar dan keturunan Itamar bergiliran menarik undi, lalu nama-nama mereka dicatat oleh seorang sekretaris yang bernama Semaya anak Netaneel orang Lewi. Semuanya itu dilaksanakan di depan raja bersama pegawai-pegawainya, Imam Zadok, Ahimelekh anak Abyatar serta kepala-kepala keluarga golongan imam dan kepala-kepala keluarga golongan Lewi.
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.
7 Inilah nomor urut giliran tugas yang diperoleh dari undian untuk kedua puluh empat kelompok itu: 1. Yoyarib; 2. Yedaya; 3. Harim; 4. Seorim; 5. Malkia; 6. Miyamin; 7. Hakos; 8. Abia; 9. Yesua; 10. Sekhanya; 11. Elyasib; 12. Yakim; 13. Hupa; 14. Yesebeab; 15. Bilga; 16. Imel; 17. Hezir; 18. Hapizes; 19. Petahya; 20. Yehezkiel; 21. Yakhin; 22. Gamul; 23. Delaya; 24. Maazya.

19 Nama orang-orang tersebut dicatat menurut giliran mereka untuk memasuki Rumah TUHAN dan melaksanakan tugas ibadat yang sudah ditetapkan oleh Harun, leluhur mereka, sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN, Allah Israel.
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 Selain itu dalam keturunan Lewi masih termasuk kepala-kepala keluarga berikut ini: Yehdeya, keturunan Amram dari garis keturunan Subael; Yisia, keturunan Rehabya; Yahat, keturunan Yizhar dari garis keturunan Selomot; Yeria, Amarya, Yehaziel dan Yekameam anak-anak Hebron menurut urutan umurnya; Samir, keturunan Uziel dari garis keturunan Mikha; Zakharia, keturunan Uziel dari garis keturunan Yisia saudara Mikha; Mahli, Musi dan Yaazia, keturunan Merari.
[This is a list of some of] the other descendants of Levi: Amram was the ancestor of Shubael and Jehdeiah.
Rehabiah was the ancestor of Isshiah, the oldest son in his family.
Izhar was the father of Shelomoth and the grandfather of Jahath.
[Kohath’s son] Hebron had four sons: Jeriah and his [younger] brothers Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Uzziel was the father of Micah and the grandfather of Shamir.
Micah’s [younger] brother was the father of Zechariah.
The sons of Merari were Mahli, Mushi, and Jaaziah.
27 Yaazia mempunyai tiga anak laki-laki: Syoham, Zakur dan Hibri.
Jaaziah had four sons: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 Mahli mempunyai dua anak laki-laki bernama Eleazar dan Kish. Eleazar tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, tetapi Kish mempunyai seorang anak laki-laki bernama Yerahmeel.
Mahli’s son Eleazar did not have any sons.
From the descendants of [Mahli’s second son] there was Jerahmeel.
30 Anak laki-laki Musi ada tiga orang: Mahli, Eder dan Yerimot. Itulah keluarga-keluarga dalam suku Lewi.
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 Untuk giliran tugas mereka, setiap kepala keluarga bersama seorang adiknya yang laki-laki menarik undi seperti yang dilakukan oleh sanak saudara mereka, yaitu para imam keturunan Harun. Penarikan undi itu disaksikan oleh Raja Daud bersama Zadok, Ahimelekh serta kepala-kepala keluarga dari golongan imam-imam dan dari golongan orang Lewi.
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.
