Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祭司的职务
24 下面是亚伦子孙的班次。亚伦的儿子是拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛。 2 拿答和亚比户比父亲先死，而且没有留下儿子，因此以利亚撒和以他玛做了祭司。 3 在以利亚撒的子孙撒督和以他玛的子孙亚希米勒的协助下，大卫将亚伦的子孙分成班次，让他们各司其职。 4 以利亚撒的子孙中做首领的比以他玛的子孙中做首领的多，他们被分成班次，以利亚撒的子孙中有十六个族长，以他玛的子孙中有八个族长。 5 因为以利亚撒的子孙中和以他玛的子孙中都有人在圣所做首领事奉上帝，他们便用抽签的方法公平地分班，分别在以利亚撒和以他玛家族中抽签。 6 利未人拿坦业的儿子示玛雅是书记。他在君王、首领、撒督祭司、亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒、众祭司和利未人的族长面前把抽出的名字记录下来。
7 第一签抽出来的是耶何雅立，第二签是耶大雅， 8 第三签是哈琳，第四签是梭琳， 9 第五签是玛基雅，第六签是米雅民， 10 第七签是哈歌斯，第八签是亚比雅， 11 第九签是耶书亚，第十签是示迦尼， 12 第十一签是以利亚实，第十二签是雅金， 13 第十三签是胡巴，第十四签是耶是比押， 14 第十五签是璧迦，第十六签是音麦， 15 第十七签是希悉，第十八签是哈辟悉， 16 第十九签是毗他希雅，第二十签是以西结， 17 第二十一签是雅斤，第二十二签是迦末， 18 第二十三签是第来雅，第二十四签是玛西亚。 19 他们照这班次，按以色列的上帝耶和华借他们的祖先亚伦所定的条例，在耶和华的殿里司职。
20 其他的利未人还有暗兰的后代书巴业，书巴业的后裔耶希底亚， 21 利哈比雅的长子伊示雅， 22 以斯哈的后代示罗摩，示罗摩的后代雅哈， 23 希伯仑的长子耶利雅、次子亚玛利亚、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加缅， 24 乌薛的后代米迦，米迦的后代沙密， 25 米迦的弟兄伊示雅，伊示雅的后代撒迦利雅， 26 米拉利的儿子抹利、姆示、雅西雅，雅西雅的儿子比挪， 27 米拉利的后代雅西雅的儿子比挪、朔含、撒刻、伊比利， 28 抹利的儿子以利亚撒——以利亚撒没有儿子， 29 基士的后代耶拉篾， 30 姆示的儿子末力、以得、耶利摩。这些按宗族都是利未人的后代。 31 他们也在大卫王、撒督、亚希米勒、众祭司和利未人的族长面前抽签，不分长幼，正如他们的亲族亚伦的后代所做的一样。

Rules for the priests
24 Aaron's descendants, the priests, were in the following groups.
Aaron's four sons were: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served God as priests.
3 Zadok and Ahimelech helped David to put Aaron's descendants into groups. Zadok was a descendant of Eleazar. Ahimelech was a descendant of Ithamar. They told each group what their work would be to serve God. 4 There were more leaders among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants. So from Eleazar's descendants, there were 16 groups with their leaders. From Ithamar's descendants there were eight groups with their leaders. 5 They used lots to decide the work of each group. The families of both Eleazar and Ithamar included officers for the temple as well as priests.
6 Shemaiah was the secretary who wrote down the names in each group. He was the son of Nethanel, a Levite. Shemaiah wrote down the names while the king and his officers watched. Zadok the priest, Abiathar's son Ahimelech and the leaders of the priests' clans and of the other Levite clans were also watching. When they threw the lots, they would choose a family from Eleazar's descendants, then a family from Ithamar's descendants, and so on.
7-18 This is the list of the group leaders as they chose them, one by one:
1. Jehoiarib
2. Jedaiah
3. Harim
4. Seorim
5. Malkijah
6. Mijamin
7. Hakkoz
8. Abijah
9. Jeshua
10. Shecaniah
11. Eliashib
12. Jakim
13. Huppah
14. Jeshebeab
15. Bilgah
16. Immer
17. Hezir
18. Happizzez
19. Pethahiah
20. Jehezkel
21. Jakin
22. Gamul
23. Delaiah
24. Maaziah.
19 Each of these leaders, with their group, had their jobs to do in the temple. They had to obey the rules that their ancestor Aaron had given. The Lord, Israel's God, had told him what they must do.
The other Levites
20 The leaders of the other Levite families included:[a]
Shubael, from Amram's descendants.
Jehdeiah, from Shubael's descendants.
21 From Rehabiah's descendants: Isshiah, the firstborn son.
22 From Izhar's descendants: Shelomoth.
From Shelomoth's descendants: Jahath.
23 Hebron's four sons were: Jeriah, the firstborn son, then Amariah, the second son, Jahaziel, the third son, and Jekameam, the fourth son.
24 Uzziel's son Micah and his son Shamir.
25 Micah's brother Isshiah and his son Zechariah.
26 Merari's sons were: Mahli, Mushi and Jaaziah.
27 Merari's descendants by his son Jaaziah were: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.
28 Mahli's son Eleazar had no sons.
29 Kish's son was Jerahmeel.
30 Mushi's sons were: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth.
That is the list of the Levites, with the leaders of each family.
31 They also used lots to choose their different jobs, as their relatives, Aaron's descendants, had done. King David, Zadok, Ahimelech and the family leaders of the priests and the other Levites watched them. They chose work for the family leaders in the same way that they did for their younger brothers.
