1 Chronicles 25

1 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:

Hina bagade Da: ibidi amola Lifai fi ilia fada: i dunu, ilia da Lifai sosogo fi amo A: isa: fe, Hima: ne amola Yediudane amo Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu gilisisu ouligima: ne ilegei. Ilia da Gode Ea sia: olelema: ne ilegei. Amola ilia da sia: olelesea, sani baidama amola giga: mesa duduna ahoanebe ba: mu galu. Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu ouligisu dunu ilia dio amola ilia hawa: hamosu ilegei da hagudu dedei diala: -

2 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.

A: isa: fe egefelali biyaduale amo da Sa: ge, Yousefe, Nedanaia amola A: salila. Ilia ouligisu dunu da A: isa: fe. Da: ibidi da hamoma: ne sia: noba, A:isa: fe da Gode Ea sia: olelelalu.

3 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.

Yediudane egefelali gafeyale da Gedalaia, Silai, Yisa: ia, Simiai, Ha: siabaia amola Ma: didaia. Ilia da ilia eda ea sia: nabawane, Gode Ea sia: olelelalu, amola gesa: mi hea: le, Hina Godema nodonanu. Ilia gesami hea: sa gilisili, sani baidama dubi nabi.

4 From the sons of Heman, who was one of the king’s prophets, they chose Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

Hima: ne egefelali genesi ilia dio da Bagaia, Ma: danaia, Asaiele, Sibiuele, Yelimode, Ha: nanaia, Hana: inai, Ilaida, Gida: ladai, Louma: madisi, Yosiabiga: sia, Ma: loudai, Houdie amola Maha: isiode.

5 God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.

Gode da Ea ilegele sia: i defele, hina bagade ea balofede dunu Hima: ne e gasa fili hamoma: ne, amo dunu mano genesi amola uda mano udiana ema i.

6 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.

Hima: ne egefe huluane da ilia eda sia: nababeba: le, giga: mesa amola sani baidama amo Debolo nodone sia: ne gadosu amola gesami hea: su fidimusa: dusu. A: sa: fe, Yediudane amola Hima: ne, ilia da hina bagade Da: ibidi ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamosu.

7 Those men and their relatives were all trained and skilled for playing musical instruments in the temple. That was their work for Yahweh. Including their relatives, there were 288 of them.

Amo dunu 24 agoane da medenegi dunu ba: i. Amola Lifai fi dunu ilima gilisi, huluane da 288 agoane, ilia da dusu liligi dawa: ma: ne, ado boba: i dagoi.

8 All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.

Dunu huluane, ayeligi amola da: i hamoi, medenegi dunu amola buludui dunu, huluane ilia ilegei hawa: hamosu dawa: ma: ne, ululuasu.

9 From the family of Asaph, the first ones selected were Joseph and 12 of his sons and relatives.

Amo dunu 288 agoane da ilia sosogo fi defele, gilisisu 24 agoane hamoma: ne, momogi ba: i. Gilisisu afae afae ilia idi da fagoane ba: i amola gilisisu afae afaega, ouligisu dunu esalebe ba: i.
