1 Chronicles 25

1 David also divided off with the chiefs of the host for the service of the sons of Assaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, those who uttered praise [accompanied] with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and their number was of the men [that did] the work in their service.

Daudi, pamoja na majemadari wa jeshi, wakawatenga baadhi ya wana wa Asafu, wana wa Hemani na wana wa Yeduthuni, kwa ajili ya huduma ya kutoa unabii, wakitumia vinubi, zeze na matoazi. Hii ndiyo orodha ya watu waliofanya huduma hii:

2 Of the sons of Assaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethanyah, and Asharelah, the sons of Assaph under the supervision of Assaph, who uttered praise under the supervision of the king.

Kutoka kwa wana wa Asafu walikuwa: Zakuri, Yosefu, Nethania na Asarela. Wana wa Asafu walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa Asafu, ambaye alitoa unabii chini ya usimamizi wa mfalme.

3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedalyahu, and Zeri, and Jesha'yahu, Chashahyahu, and Matthithyahu, six, under the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who uttered praise with a harp, in order to give thanks and to utter praise unto the Lord.

Wana wa Yeduthuni walikuwa sita: Gedalia, Seri, Yeshaya, Shimei, Hashabia, na Matithia, nao walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa baba yao Yeduthuni, wao walikuwa wakitoa unabii wakitumia vinubi, wakimshukuru na kumtukuza Bwana.

4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiyahu, Matthanyahu, 'Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Chananyah, Chanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-'ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Machaz'oth;

Wana wa Hemani walikuwa: Bukia, Matania, Uzieli, Shebueli na Yeremothi, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gidalti na Romamti-Ezeri, Yoshbekasha, Malothi, Hothiri na Mahaziothi.

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

Wote hawa walikuwa wana wa Hemani mwonaji wa mfalme. Aliwapata wana hawa kutokana na ahadi ya Mungu ili kumwinua. Mungu alimpa Hemani wana kumi na wanne na binti watatu.

6 All these were under the supervision of their father at the singing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, under the supervision of the king, Assaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

Hawa wanaume wote walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa baba yao kwa ajili ya uimbaji katika Hekalu la Bwana wakitumia matoazi, zeze na vinubi, kwa ajili ya huduma katika nyumba ya Mungu. Asafu, Yeduthuni na Hemani walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa mfalme.

7 And their number, with their brethren that were practised in singing unto the Lord, even all that were acquainted [therewith], was two hundred eighty and eight.

Pamoja na ndugu zao wote walikuwa wamefundishwa na kuwa stadi wa uimbaji kwa Bwana. Idadi yao walikuwa 288.

8 And they cast lots, division against [division], the small well as the great, the one acquainted with his business together with the scholar.

Vijana kwa wazee, walimu kwa wanafunzi, wote walipanga kazi zao kwa kupiga kura.
