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:
Na lisungi ya bakonzi ya mampinga, Davidi atiaki pembeni ndambo ya bana mibali ya Azafi, ya Emani mpe ya Yedutuni mpo na kosala mosala ya kosakola mpe ya kosalela banzenze, mandanda mpe manzanza. Tala bakombo ya bato oyo basalaki mosala yango:
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.
Mpo na bana mibali ya Azafi: Zakuri, Jozefi, Netania mpe Asareyela. Bana mibali ya Azafi bazalaki na bokambami ya tata na bango Azafi oyo azalaki kosakola na bokambami ya mokonzi.
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.
Mpo na Yedutuni, bazwaki kati na bana na ye ya mibali: Gedalia, Tseri, Ezayi, Shimei, Ashabia mpe Matitia. Bazalaki bango nyonso motoba na bokambami ya tata na bango Yedutuni oyo azalaki kosakola mpe kosalela lindanda mpo na kopesa matondi mpe kokumisa Yawe.
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.
Mpo na Emani, bazwaki kati na bana na ye ya mibali: Bukiya, Matania, Uzieli, Shebueli, Yerimoti, Anania, Anani, Eliyata, Gidaliti, Romamiti-Ezeri, Yoshibekasha, Maloti, Otiri mpe Maazioti.
5 God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.
Bango nyonso bazalaki bana mibali ya Emani, mosakoli ya mokonzi, oyo azalaki koyebisa ye maloba na Nzambe mpo na konetola nguya na Ye. Nzambe apesaki na Emani bana mibali zomi na minei mpe bana basi misato.
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.
Bango nyonso bazalaki na bokambami ya tata na bango mpo na kobeta miziki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe kobeta manzanza, mandanda mpe banzenze; mpe mpo na kosala mosala kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. Azafi, Yedutuni mpe Emani bazalaki na bokambami ya mokonzi.
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.
Motango na bango elongo na bandeko na bango ya mibali oyo bayekolaki koyembela Yawe malamu ezalaki nkama mibale na tuku mwambe na mwambe.
8 All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
Ezala mpo na bakulutu to mpo na baleki, mpo na balakisi to mpo na bayekoli, bazalaki kobeta zeke mpo na kokabola misala na bango.
