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:
igitur David et magistratus exercitus secreverunt in ministerium filios Asaph et Heman et Idithun qui prophetarent in citharis et psalteriis et cymbalis secundum numerum suum dedicato sibi officio servientes
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.
de filiis Asaph Zacchur et Ioseph et Nathania et Asarela filii Asaph sub manu Asaph prophetantis iuxta regem
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.
porro Idithun filii Idithun Godolias Sori Iesaias et Sabias et Matthathias sex sub manu patris sui Idithun qui in cithara prophetabat super confitentes et laudantes Dominum
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 quoque filii Heman Bocciau Matthaniau Ozihel Subuhel et Ierimoth Ananias Anani Elietha Geddelthi et Romemthiezer et Iesbacasa Mellothi Othir Mazioth
5 God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.
omnes isti filii Heman videntis regis in sermonibus Dei ut exaltaret cornu deditque Deus Heman filios quattuordecim et filias tres
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.
universi sub manu patris sui ad cantandum in templo Domini distributi erant in cymbalis et psalteriis et citharis in ministeria domus Domini iuxta regem Asaph videlicet et Idithun et Heman
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.
fuit autem numerus eorum cum fratribus suis qui erudiebant canticum Domini cuncti doctores ducenti octoginta octo
8 All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
miseruntque sortes per vices suas ex aequo tam maior quam minor doctus pariter et indoctus
