¹These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

¹Vedkommende Arons sønner, så var deres skifter de som nu skal nevnes: Arons sønner var Nadab og Abihu, Eleasar og Itamar.

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

²Men Nadab og Abihu døde før sin far; de hadde ingen sønner, og bare Eleasar og Itamar blev prester.

³David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

³Sammen med Sadok av Eleasars sønner og Akimelek av Itamars sønner inndelte David dem efter deres embede i tjeneste-klasser.

⁴There 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.

⁴Da det viste sig at Eleasars sønner hadde flere overhoder enn Itamars sønner, inndelte de dem således at Eleasars sønner fikk seksten overhoder for sine familier og Itamars sønner åtte for sine familier.

⁵Thus were they 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.

⁵Og de inndelte dem ved loddkasting, begge ætter; for det fantes fyrster for helligdommen og Guds fyrster både blandt Eleasars sønner og blandt Itamars sønner.

⁶Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

⁶Skriveren Semaja, Netanels sønn, av Levi stamme, skrev dem op, mens kongen og høvdingene og presten Sadok og Akimelek, Ebjatars sønn, og familiehodene for prestene og levittene så på det; de tok ut en familie for Eleasar og derefter skiftevis en for Itamar.

¹⁹This was their ordering in their service, to come into the house of Yahweh according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

¹⁹Dette var den orden som de skulde gjøre tjeneste i, når de gikk inn i Herrens hus, således som det var foreskrevet dem av Aron, deres far, efter den befaling Herren, Israels Gud, hadde gitt ham.
