1 Sɛdeɛ wɔkyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ no mu akuakuo ma wɔsomeeɛ no nie: Na Aaron mmammarima no yɛ Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar.
These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nanso, Nadab ne Abihu wuiɛ a wɔnni mma ansa na wɔn agya rewu. Enti, ɛkaa Eleasa ne Itamar nko ara a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 Mmoa a Sadok a na ɔyɛ Eleasa aseni ne Ahimelek a na ɔyɛ Itamar aseni no boaa no enti, Dawid kyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ mu akuakuo sɛdeɛ wɔn dwumadie teɛ.
David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
4 Wɔkyɛɛ Itamar deɛ mu akuo nwɔtwe, ɛfiri sɛ, na Eleasa asefoɔ mu mmusua mpanimfoɔ no dɔɔso.
There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.
5 Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, kyekyɛɛ dwumadie ahodoɔ nyinaa maa akuakuo no, sɛdeɛ ɛrenyɛ nhwɛanimsɛm biara. Ɛfiri sɛ, na mpanimfoɔ bebree a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn kronkronbea hɔ a wɔyɛ Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ no nso wɔ hɔ.
Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 Netanel babarima Semaia a na ɔyɛ Lewini no yɛɛ adwuma sɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ. Ɔtwerɛɛ din ne nnwuma ahodoɔ wɔ ɔhene no ne ɔsɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek ne asɔfoɔ no ne Lewi mmusua no mpanimfoɔ anim. Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ bobɔɔ ntonto sɛdeɛ ɛdidi soɔ yi:
