1Ko eni ia ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone. Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone eni: ko Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, pea mo ʻItama.
1These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2Ka naʻe mate ʻa Natapi pea mo ʻApia ʻi he teʻeki ke mate ʻa ʻena tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau: pea ko ia naʻe fai ai ʻe ʻEliesa mo ʻItama ʻae ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3Pea naʻe vahevaheʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, ʻio, ʻa Satoki ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻi he tauhi naʻa nau fai.
3With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.
4Pea naʻe tokolahi hake ʻae kau tangataʻeiki naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama; pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa hono vahevaheʻi ʻakinautolu. ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa naʻe ai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ono naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ko e toko valu ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama ʻo fakatatau mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
4Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.
5Naʻe pehē ni ʻae vahevahe ʻakinautolu ʻi he talotalo, ko e faʻahinga mo e faʻahinga; he naʻe fili mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa, pea mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻItama ʻae kau pule ki he faletapu, mo e kau pule ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.
5Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
6Pea naʻe tohi ʻakinautolu ʻe Simaia ko e foha ʻo Netanili ko e tangata tohi, ko e taha ʻi he kau Livai, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, mo e houʻeiki, pea mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻeiki naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai: naʻe fili ʻae fale ʻe taha ʻoe kau mātuʻa maʻa ʻEliesa, pea ko e taha maʻa ʻItama.
6The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.

19This was their appointed order for service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their forefather Aaron, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

31As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.
