历代志上 24
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。
1 Chronicles 24
The Message
24 1-5 The family of Aaron was grouped as follows: Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. Nadab and Abihu died before their father and left no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar filled the office of priest. David assigned Zadok from the family of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the family of Ithamar and assigned them to separate divisions for carrying out their appointed ministries. It turned out that there were more leaders in Eleazar’s family than in Ithamar’s and so they divided them proportionately: sixteen clan leaders from Eleazar’s family and eight clan leaders from Ithamar’s family. They assigned the leaders by lot, treating both families alike, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among both the Eleazar and Ithamar families.
6 The secretary Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, wrote down their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families. They took turns: One family was selected from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.
7-18 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib,
the second to Jedaiah,
the third to Harim,
the fourth to Seorim,
the fifth to Malkijah,
the sixth to Mijamin,
the seventh to Hakkoz,
the eighth to Abijah,
the ninth to Jeshua,
the tenth to Shecaniah,
the eleventh to Eliashib,
the twelfth to Jakim,
the thirteenth to Huppah,
the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
the fifteenth to Bilgah,
the sixteenth to Immer,
the seventeenth to Hezir,
the eighteenth to Happizzez,
the nineteenth to Pethahiah,
the twentieth to Jehezkel,
the twenty-first to Jakin,
the twenty-second to Gamul,
the twenty-third to Delaiah,
and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 They served in this appointed order when they entered The Temple of God, following the procedures laid down by their ancestor Aaron as God, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
20 The rest of the Levites are as follows:
From the sons of Amram: Shubael; from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.
21 Concerning Rehabiah: from his sons, Isshiah was the first.
22 From the Izharites: Shelomoth; from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.
23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
24-25 The son of Uzziel: Micah, and from the sons of Micah: Shamir. The brother of Micah was Isshiah, and from the sons of Isshiah: Zechariah.
26-27 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah: Beno. The sons of Merari from Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 From Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 From Kish: Jerahmeel, the son of Kish.
30-31 And from the sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
These were the Levites by their families. They also cast lots, the same as their kindred the sons of Aaron had done, in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families. The families of the oldest and youngest brothers were treated the same.
