1 ೧ ಆರೋನನ ಸಂತಾನದವರೂ ವರ್ಗಗಳಾಗಿ ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರು. ಆರೋನನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ನಾದಾಬ್, ಅಬೀಹೂ, ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರ್ ಮತ್ತು ಈತಾಮಾರ್ ಎಂಬುವರು.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 ೨ ನಾದಾಬ್ ಮತ್ತು ಅಬೀಹೂ ಎಂಬುವರು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಗಿಂತ ಮೊದಲೇ ಸತ್ತು ಹೋದುದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರನೂ, ಈತಾಮಾರನೂ ಯಾಜಕ ಉದ್ಯೋಗವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
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 ೩ ದಾವೀದನು ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರನ ಸಂತಾನದವನಾದ ಚಾದೋಕನೂ, ಈತಾಮಾರನ ಸಂತಾನದವನಾದ ಅಹೀಮೆಲೆಕನು ಯಾಜಕರನ್ನು ಸರದಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಸೇವೆಮಾಡತಕ್ಕ ವರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿ ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಿದರು.
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 ೪ ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರನ ಸಂತಾನದ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಪ್ರಧಾನರು ಈತಾಮಾರ್ಯರಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚೆಂದು ಕಂಡು ಬಂದುದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರರ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಧಾನರ ಲೆಕ್ಕದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಹದಿನಾರು ವರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ, ಈತಾಮಾರ್ಯರ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳನ್ನು ಎಂಟು ವರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ ಮಾಡಿ,
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 ೫ ಈ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿ ಚೀಟು ಹಾಕಿದರು. ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರನ ಸಂತಾನದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಗೋ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಈತಾಮಾರನ ಸಂತಾನದವರಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಪವಿತ್ರಾಲಯದ ಅಧಿಪತಿಗಳು, ದೈವಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರೂ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಉಭಯ ಸಂತಾನದವರು ಸಮಾನ ಸ್ಥಾನದವರಾಗಿದ್ದರು.
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 ೬ ನೆತನೇಲನ ಮಗನಾದ ಶೆಮಾಯನೆಂಬ ಲೇವಿಯ ಲೇಖಕನು ಅರಸನ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ, ಅಧಿಪತಿಗಳು, ಯಾಜಕನಾದ ಚಾದೋಕ್, ಎಬ್ಯಾತಾರನ ಮಗನಾದ ಅಹೀಮೆಲೆಕ್, ಯಾಜಕರ ಮತ್ತು ಲೇವಿಯರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಪ್ರಧಾನರು ಇವರ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ ಆ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಬರೆದನು. ಎಲ್ಲಾಜಾರನ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಗದವರಾದ ನಂತರ ಈತಾಮಾರ್ಯರ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಗದವರು ಸೇವಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ನೇಮಿಸಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ಸರದಿಯನ್ನು ಚೀಟಿನಿಂದಲೇ ಗೊತ್ತುಮಾಡಿದರು.

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.
