1 T hese were the family groups of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Os filhos de Arão foram assim agrupados: Os filhos de Arão foram Nadabe, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar.

2 N adab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the religious leaders.

Mas Nadabe e Abiú morreram antes de seu pai e não tiveram filhos; apenas Eleazar e Itamar serviram como sacerdotes.

3 W ith the help of Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David divided them by their given duties.

Com a ajuda de Zadoque, descendente de Eleazar, e de Aimeleque, descendente de Itamar, Davi os dividiu em grupos para que cumprissem as suas responsabilidades.

4 M ore leaders were found from the sons of Eleazar than the sons of Ithamar. So they were divided in this way. There were sixteen heads of families of the sons of Eleazar. And there were eight heads of families of the sons of Ithamar.

Havia um número maior de chefes de família entre os descendentes de Eleazar do que entre os de Itamar, e por isso eles foram assim divididos: dezesseis chefes de famílias dentre os descendentes de Eleazar, e oito dentre os descendentes de Itamar.

5 T hey were divided by drawing names, all alike. For there were leaders of the holy place and leaders of God, from both the sons of Eleazar and Ithamar.

Eles foram divididos de maneira imparcial mediante sorteio, pois havia líderes do santuário e líderes de Deus tanto entre os descendentes de Eleazar como entre os de Itamar.

6 T he writer Shemaiah, the Levite son of Nethanel, wrote down their names. He wrote them in front of the king, the princes, Zadok the religious leader, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the families of the religious leaders and of the Levites. One family was taken for Eleazar, and one for Ithamar.

O escriba Semaías, filho do levita Natanael, registrou os nomes deles na presença do rei, dos líderes, dos sacerdotes Zadoque e Aimeleque, filho de Abiatar, e dos chefes de famílias dos sacerdotes e dos levitas; as famílias de Eleazar e de Itamar foram sorteadas alternadamente.
