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 chefs de l’armée mirent à part pour le service ceux des fils d’Asaph, d’Héman et de Jeduthun qui prophétisaient en s’accompagnant de la harpe, du luth et des cymbales. Et voici le nombre de ceux qui avaient des fonctions à remplir.

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: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethania et Aschareéla, fils d’Asaph, sous la direction d’Asaph qui prophétisait suivant 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.

De Jeduthun, les fils de Jeduthun: Guedalia, Tseri, Ésaïe, Haschabia, Matthithia et Schimeï, six, sous la direction de leur père Jeduthun qui prophétisait avec la harpe pour louer et célébrer l’Éternel.

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

tous fils d’Héman, qui était voyant du roi pour révéler les paroles de Dieu et 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 ceux-là étaient sous la direction de leurs pères, pour le chant de la maison de l’Éternel, et avaient des cymbales, des luths et des harpes pour le service de la maison de Dieu. Asaph, Jeduthun et Héman recevaient les ordres du roi.

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

Ils étaient au nombre de deux cent quatre-vingt-huit, y compris leurs frères exercés au chant de l’Éternel, tous ceux qui étaient habiles.

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