1 Chronicles 25

1 Further, David and the chiefs of the servants of the holy place made selection of certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun for the work of prophets, to make melody with corded instruments and brass; and the number of the men for the work they had to do was:

Dawid ne asahene no yiyii mmarima fii Asaf, Heman ne Yedutun mmusua mu sɛ wɔmfa asankuten, mmɛnta ne kyɛnkyɛn mmɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no dawuru. Wɔn din ne wɔn nnwuma na edidi so yi:

2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur and Joseph and Nethaniah and Asharelah, sons of Asaph; under the direction of Asaph, acting as a prophet under the orders of the king;

Na Asaf mmabarima no ne: Sakur, Yosef, Netania ne Asarela. Na wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Asaf ase. Ɔno na ɔhene hyɛɛ no ma ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no dawuru.

3 Of Jeduthun: the six sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah and Zeri and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah; under the direction of their father Jeduthun who, acting as a prophet, with corded instruments gave praise and glory to the Lord.

Na Yedutun wɔ mmabarima a wɔne: Gedalia, Seri, Yesaia, Simei, Hasabia ne Matitia. Wɔyɛ baasia a wɔhyɛ wɔn agya ase. Ɔno na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm, nam sankuten so de aseda ne nkamfo maa Awurade.

4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth;

Na Heman mmabarima din ne: Bukia, Matania, Usiel, Sebuel, Yerimot, Hanania, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamti-Eser, Yosbekasa, Maloti, Hotir, ne Mahasiot.

5 All these were sons of Heman, the king's seer in the words of God. And to make great his power God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

Eyinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene diyifo no mmabarima. Onyankopɔn dom no mmabarima dunan ne mmabea baasa.

6 All these, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa hyɛ wɔn agyanom ase, na wɔnam so too nnwom wɔ Awurade fi. Wɔn nnwuma ne sɛ wɔbɔ kyɛnkyɛn, mmɛnta ne asankuten wɔ Onyankopɔn fi. Na Asaf, Yedutun ne Heman hyɛ ɔhene no ase.

7 And the number of them, with their brothers who were trained and expert in making melody to the Lord, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

Na wɔatetew wɔn ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa wɔ nnwom a wɔto wɔ Awurade anim no mu. Na wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ ahannu aduɔwɔtwe awotwe na wɔn mu biara wɔ nnwonto ho nimdeɛ.

8 And selection was made of them for their special work, all having equal chances, small as well as great, the teacher as the learner.

Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so yiyii nnwontofo tuatuaa nnwuma ahorow ano a wɔanhwɛ sɛ obi yɛ abofra anaa ɔpanyin, ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo anaa osuani.
