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:

Tokosra David ac mwet kol lun mwet Levi elos sulela kutu sin sou lal Levi tuh elos in kol ke pacl in alu. Mwet in sou lal Asaph, Heman, ac Jeduthun pa mwet in fahkak ke kas lun God, wi pusren mwe on ke harp ac cymbal. Pa inge takin mwet ma solla in karingin pacl in alu, wi orekma kunalos kais sie:

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.

Wen akosr natul Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, ac Asharelah. Elos muta ye koko lal Asaph, su fahkak kas lun God ke pacl ma tokosra el sapkin.

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.

Wen onkosr natul Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, ac Mattithiah. Elos muta ye koko lun papa tumalos in fahkak kas lun God wi pusren mwe on ke harp, ac elos onkakin on in kaksak ac sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD.

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.

Wen singoul akosr natul Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, ac Mahazioth.

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

God El tuh sang nu sel Heman, mwet liyaten lun tokosra, wen singoul akosr inge oayapa acn tolu oana El tuh wulela kac, tuh in sang ku nu sel Heman.

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.

Wen nukewa natul elos mwet srital ke cymbal ac harp ye koko lun papa tumalos ke pacl in alu in Tempul. Asaph, Jeduthun, ac Heman elos orekma ye koko lal tokosra.

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.

Mwet longoul akosr inge kewa mwet na pisrla ke on. Mwet Levi wialos elos mwet lutlut on ac pah in srital ke mwe on-mukul luofoko oalngoul oalkosr nufon.

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

Mwet inge nukewa elos susfa in koneak kunokon lalos, finne elos matu ku fusr, finne mwet pah ku mwet tufahna lutlut.
