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:
David le a sepai jalamkaiten Asaph, Heman chule Jeduthun insungmi chu Kipana thupha sapphong tohthoa semjang gin ngei, tumging chule Khutbeh la lamkai din alhengdoh taove.
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.
Asaph chapate Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah chule Asarelah in jong a pau maikainan lengpa thupeh dungjuiyin kipana thupha chu alhangsap uve.
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.
Heduthun chapate, Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshiah, Shimei, Hashabiah chule Mattithah mi gup cheng hin jong a pau makainan semjang gin ngei, thangvah le vahchoi toh thon kipana thupha sapphong toh thon Pathen athangvah uve.
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.
Heman chapate chu Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romam’ti-e’zer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir chule Mahazioth cheng hi ahiuve.
5 God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.
Lengpa Themgao a pang Heman hin Pakaiya a konin chapa Somle li le chanu thum ahing e.
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.
Heman le achapate chu Houin sunga tumging thei, Selangdah gin ngei, Semjang sai chule khutbeh a Pakai vahchoina lamkaiya pang ahiuve. Chule ijakaiyin, Asaph, Jeduthun chule Heman jong lengpa toh aki thukop jing uve.
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.
Amaho insung hi Pakai vahchoi na mun a tumging sai ding mong a hung kitillu ahi. Abonchauvin tumging sai thei cheh mi Jani somget le get alhing uve.
8 All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
Mi hichengse hi teh le khang hihen jilkung le simlai umlouvin athepna cheh uva apang un chuleh vang kibang in akisan cheh uve.
9 From the family of Asaph, the first ones selected were Joseph and 12 of his sons and relatives.
