¹Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

¹Zvino mapoka avanakomana vaAroni akanga akadai: vanakomana vaAroni: Nadhabhi, naAbhihu, naEriazari, naItamari.

²But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.

²Asi Nadhabhi naAbhihu vakafa vasina vana, baba vavo vachiri vapenyu; saka Eriazari naItamari vakabata basa roupristi.

³And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.

³Dhavhidhi, pamwechete naZadhoki, mumwe wavanakomana vaEriazari, naAhimereki, mumwe wavanakomana vaItamari, vakakamura sezvavakanga vagoverwa mabasa avo.

⁴And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.

⁴Vakawana vakuru vazhinji pakati pavanakomana vaEriazari kupfuura pakati pavanakomana vaItamari; vakakamurwa kudai : Pakati pavanakomana vaEriazari kwakanga kuna vane gumi navatanhatu, vaiva vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba; napakati pavanakomana vaItamari, nedzimba dzamadzibaba avo vakanga vari vasere.

⁵Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

⁵Nokudaro vakakamurwa nemijenya, mumwe pano mumwe koko; nekuti kwakanga kuna machinda eimba tsvene, namachinda aMwari pakati pavanakomana valtamari.

⁶And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

⁶Shemaya mwanakomana waNetaneri, munyori, akanga ari wavaRevhi, akavanyora pamberi pamambo, namachinda, nomupristi Zadhoki, naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiyatari, navakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba avapristi navaRevhi; vachitsaura mhuri imwe kuna Eriazari, nemhuri imwe kuna Itamari.

⁷Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

¹⁸The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.

¹⁸wamakumi maviri nemitatu Dheraya, wamakumi maviri nemina Maazia.

¹⁹These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

¹⁹Ndiko kukamurwa kwavo pamabasa avo, kuti vapinde imba yaJehovha pavakanga varairwa napo naAroni baba vavo, sezvaakarairwa naJehovha Mwari walsiraeri.
