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:
Dawid ne asahene no yiyii mmarima fii Asaf, Heman ne Yedutun mmusua mu sɛ wɔmfa asankuten, mmɛnta ne kyɛnkyɛn mmɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no dawuru. Wɔn din ne wɔn nnwuma na edidi so yi:
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.
Na Asaf mmabarima no ne: Sakur, Yosef, Netania ne Asarela. Na wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Asaf ase. Ɔno na ɔhene hyɛɛ no ma ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no dawuru.
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.
Na Yedutun wɔ mmabarima a wɔne: Gedalia, Seri, Yesaia, Simei, Hasabia ne Matitia. Wɔyɛ baasia a wɔhyɛ wɔn agya ase. Ɔno na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm, nam sankuten so de aseda ne nkamfo maa Awurade.
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.
Na Heman mmabarima din ne: Bukia, Matania, Usiel, Sebuel, Yerimot, Hanania, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamti-Eser, Yosbekasa, Maloti, Hotir, ne Mahasiot.
5 God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.
Eyinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene diyifo no mmabarima. Onyankopɔn dom no mmabarima dunan ne mmabea baasa.
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.
Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa hyɛ wɔn agyanom ase, na wɔnam so too nnwom wɔ Awurade fi. Wɔn nnwuma ne sɛ wɔbɔ kyɛnkyɛn, mmɛnta ne asankuten wɔ Onyankopɔn fi. Na Asaf, Yedutun ne Heman hyɛ ɔhene no ase.
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.
Na wɔatetew wɔn ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa wɔ nnwom a wɔto wɔ Awurade anim no mu. Na wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ ahannu aduɔwɔtwe awotwe na wɔn mu biara wɔ nnwonto ho nimdeɛ.
8 All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so yiyii nnwontofo tuatuaa nnwuma ahorow ano a wɔanhwɛ sɛ obi yɛ abofra anaa ɔpanyin, ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo anaa osuani.
