1 Cronache 24
1 OR quant'è a' figliuoli d'Aaronne, i loro spartimenti [furono questi]: I figliuoli d'Aaronne [furono] Nadab, ed Abihu, Eleazaro, ed 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 Ed essendo Nadab ed Abihu morti senza figliuoli davanti al padre loro, Eleazaro ed Itamar esercitaroro il sacerdozio.
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 Or Davide li distribuì secondo gli ordini loro nel lor ministerio, [essendo] Sadoc de' figliuoli di Eleazaro, ed Ahimelec de' figliuoli d'Itamar.
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 Ed i figliuoli di Eleazaro si trovarono in più gran numero di capi d'uomini, che i figliuoli di Itamar, quando gli spartimenti furono fatti. De' figliuoli di Eleazaro [vi erano] sedici capi di famiglie paterne, e de' figliuoli d'Itamar otto.
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 E gli spartimenti furono fatti a sorte, gli uni per mezzo gli altri; perciocchè anche i capi del santuario, e [della Casa] di Dio, erano de' figliuoli di Eleazaro, e de' figliuoli d'Itamar.
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 E Semaia, figliuolo di Natanael, Scriba, [della tribù] di Levi, li descrisse davanti al re, e davanti a' capi [del popolo], ed al sacerdote Sadoc, e ad Ahimelec, figliuolo di Ebiatar, ed a' capi delle [famiglie] paterne de' sacerdoti, e de' Leviti; una casa paterna si prendeva [de' discendenti] di Eleazaro, ed un'[altra congiuntamente di que]'d'Itamar.
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 Questi [furono] i loro ordini nel lor ministerio, [secondo i quali aveano] da venir nella Casa del Signore, secondo che era loro ordinato, sotto la condotta di Aaronne, lor padre; come il Signore Iddio d'Israele gli avea comandato.
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.

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 E tirarono anch'essi le sorti, al pari de' figliuoli d'Aaronne, lor fratelli, in presenza del re Davide, e di Sadoc, e d'Ahimelec, e de' capi delle [famiglie] paterne de' sacerdoti, e de' Leviti; le principali delle [case] paterne [essendo] pareggiate ad [altre più] piccole de' lor fratelli.
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.
