歷代志上 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祭司的職務
24 下面是亞倫子孫的班次。亞倫的兒子是拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。 2 拿答和亞比戶比父親先死，而且沒有留下兒子，因此以利亞撒和以他瑪做了祭司。 3 在以利亞撒的子孫撒督和以他瑪的子孫亞希米勒的協助下，大衛將亞倫的子孫分成班次，讓他們各司其職。 4 以利亞撒的子孫中做首領的比以他瑪的子孫中做首領的多，他們被分成班次，以利亞撒的子孫中有十六個族長，以他瑪的子孫中有八個族長。 5 因為以利亞撒的子孫中和以他瑪的子孫中都有人在聖所做首領事奉上帝，他們便用抽籤的方法公平地分班，分別在以利亞撒和以他瑪家族中抽籤。 6 利未人拿坦業的兒子示瑪雅是書記。他在君王、首領、撒督祭司、亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒、眾祭司和利未人的族長面前把抽出的名字記錄下來。
7 第一籤抽出來的是耶何雅立，第二籤是耶大雅， 8 第三籤是哈琳，第四籤是梭琳， 9 第五籤是瑪基雅，第六籤是米雅民， 10 第七籤是哈歌斯，第八籤是亞比雅， 11 第九籤是耶書亞，第十籤是示迦尼， 12 第十一籤是以利亞實，第十二籤是雅金， 13 第十三籤是胡巴，第十四籤是耶是比押， 14 第十五籤是璧迦，第十六籤是音麥， 15 第十七籤是希悉，第十八籤是哈辟悉， 16 第十九籤是毗他希雅，第二十籤是以西結， 17 第二十一籤是雅斤，第二十二籤是迦末， 18 第二十三籤是第來雅，第二十四籤是瑪西亞。 19 他們照這班次，按以色列的上帝耶和華藉他們的祖先亞倫所定的條例，在耶和華的殿裡司職。
20 其他的利未人還有暗蘭的後代書巴業，書巴業的後裔耶希底亞， 21 利哈比雅的長子伊示雅， 22 以斯哈的後代示羅摩，示羅摩的後代雅哈， 23 希伯崙的長子耶利雅、次子亞瑪利亞、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加緬， 24 烏薛的後代米迦，米迦的後代沙密， 25 米迦的弟兄伊示雅，伊示雅的後代撒迦利雅， 26 米拉利的兒子抹利、姆示、雅西雅，雅西雅的兒子比挪， 27 米拉利的後代雅西雅的兒子比挪、朔含、撒刻、伊比利， 28 抹利的兒子以利亞撒——以利亞撒沒有兒子， 29 基士的後代耶拉篾， 30 姆示的兒子末力、以得、耶利摩。這些按宗族都是利未人的後代。 31 他們也在大衛王、撒督、亞希米勒、眾祭司和利未人的族長面前抽籤，不分長幼，正如他們的親族亞倫的後代所做的一樣。

Divisions of the priests
24 The divisions of the Aaronites:
Aaron’s family: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, without having sons, and so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, with the help of Zadok from Eleazar’s family and Ahimelech from Ithamar’s family, divided them according to their appointed duties. 4 Since Eleazar’s family was found to have more male heads than Ithamar’s family, they divided them so that Eleazar’s family had sixteen household heads and Ithamar’s family had eight. 5 They divided both groups by lots because there were holy leaders, even outstanding leaders, among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants. 6 Shemaiah, Nethanel’s son, the levitical scribe, recorded their names in the presence of the king; the leaders; Zadok the priest; Ahimelech, Abiathar’s son; and the household heads of the priests and Levites. One household was taken from Eleazar followed by one from Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 These were to enter the Lord’s temple according to their appointed duty and by the procedure established for them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had instructed him.
Rest of the Levites
20 The rest of the Levites included:
from Amram’s family: Shubael;
from Shubael’s family: Jehdeiah;
21 from Rehabiah and his family: Isshiah the first;
22 from the Izharites: Shelomoth;
from Shelomoth’s family: Jahath;
23 Hebron’s family:[a] Jeriah the first,[b] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth;
24 Uzziel’s family: Micah;
from Micah’s family: Shamir;
25 Micah’s brother Isshiah;
from Isshiah’s family: Zechariah;
26 Merari’s family: Mahli, Mushi and his son Jaaziah’s family;
27 Merari’s family by his son Jaaziah: Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri;
28 from Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons;
29 from Kish and his family: Jerahmeel;
30 and Mushi’s family: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
These were the Levites according to their households. 31 Both the household head and his youngest brother cast lots, just as their relatives, Aaron’s descendants, had done in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the priestly and levitical households.
