1 Chronicles 25

1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

David et les princes de l’armée mirent à part, pour le service, des fils d’Asaph, de Héman et d’Idithun qui prophétisaient avec la harpe, la cithare et les cymbales. Voici leur nombre, — de ceux qui étaient occupés au service —:

2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

Des fils d’Asaph: Zacchur, Joseph, Nathania et Asaréla, fils d’Asaph, sous la direction d’Asaph, qui prophétisait selon les ordres du roi. —

3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

D’Idithun, les fils d’Idithun: Godolias, Sori, Jéséïas, Hasabias, Mathathias et Séméi, six, selon les ordres de leur père Idithun, qui prophétisait avec la cithare pour célébrer et louer Yahweh. —

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

De Héman, les fils de Héman: Bocciaü, Mathaniaü, Oziel, Subuël, Jérimoth, Hananias, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, Romemthiézer, Jesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir et Mahazioth;

5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

ils étaient tous fils de Héman, voyant du roi dans les paroles de Dieu, pour exalter sa puissance: Dieu avait donné à Héman quatorze fils et trois filles.

6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

Tous ces lévites étaient sous les ordres de leurs pères pour le chant de la maison de Yahweh, ayant des cymbales, des cithares et des harpes pour le service de la maison de Dieu, sous les ordres de David, d’Asaph, d’Idithun et de Héman.

7 So the number of them, with their brothers that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

Leur nombre, y compris leurs frères exercés à chanter Yahweh, tous ceux qui avaient de l’habileté, était de deux cent quatre-vingt-huit.

8 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

Ils tirèrent le sort pour leurs fonctions, petits et grands, maîtres et disciples.
