OET (OET-RV) I appointed book-keepers over the storerooms: the priest Shelemyah, the scribe Tsadok, and the Levite Pedayah with Hanan (the son of Zakkur, the son of Mattanyah) helping. They were all considered trustworthy, and their job included distributing the produce among their colleagues.

Shelem\sup_yāh the=priest/officer and,Zadok the,scribe and,Pedaiah from/more_than the,Levites
Shelmiah, Zadok, and Pedaiah are the names of men. As in 8:1, where the word refers to Ezra, scribe means a teacher who has carefully studied the Law of Moses. From the Levites means that Pedaiah was one of the Levites. Alternate translation: “Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah the Levite”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לַחֲלֹ֥ק לַאֲחֵיהֶֽם
and,were_responsible_for,their to,distribute to,brothers_of,their
In this context, brother seems to be a figurative way of saying fellow priests and Levites, although it is possible that some of the biological brothers of the men listed were included in this group. Apportion means give the portions, meaning the support as described in 13:10. Alternate translation: “their responsibility was to make sure that their fellow priests and Levites received the support that the law commanded the Israelites to provide”
13:13 These men had an excellent reputation: Cp. Acts 6:1-6.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
