David and some of the temple officials (OR, army commanders) chose some of the descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to be in charge of proclaiming God’s messages, and to play harps and lyres and cymbals. This is a list of the men whom they chose for that work:
2 Asaph koca lamkah Zakkuur, Joseph, Nethaniah neh Asarelah. Asaph koca rhoek tah Asaph kut hmui neh manghai kut hmui ah tonghma uh.
From the sons of Asaph they chose Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Aserelah. Asaph supervised them. And the king appointed Asaph to proclaim God’s messages.

From the sons of Jeduthun they chose six men: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. Jeduthun supervised them and also proclaimed God’s messages, playing his harp while he thanked and praised Yahweh.

5 Amih Heman koca boeih tah a ki pomsang pah ham Pathen kah ol tarhing ah manghai kah khohmu la om uh. Pathen loh Heman he capa hlai li neh canu pathum a paek.

All those men were supervised by their fathers while they played music in the temple of Yahweh. They played cymbals, lyres, and harps. And their fathers—Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman—were supervised by the king.
