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 firii Asaf, Heman ne Yedutun mmusua mu sɛ wɔmfa nsankuten, mmɛnta ne kyankyan mmɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho dawuro. Wɔn din ne wɔn nnwuma na ɛdidi soɔ 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 mmammarima no nie: Sakur, Yosef, Netania ne Asarela. Na wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Asaf ase. Ɔno na ɔhene hyɛɛ no ma ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho dawuro.
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 mmammarima a wɔn nie: Gedalia, Seri, Yesaia, Simei, Hasabia ne Matitia. Wɔyɛ baasia a wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Yedutun ase. Ɔno na ɔnam sankuten so de aseda ne nkamfo maa Awurade de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho dawuro.
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 mmammarima din nie: 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.
Yeinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene nkɔmhyɛni no mmammarima. Onyankopɔn domm no mmammarima dunan ne mmammaa 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 fie. Wɔn nnwuma ne sɛ wɔbɔ kyankyan, mmɛnta ne nsankuten wɔ Onyankopɔn fie. 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 wɔatete wɔn ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nyinaa wɔ nnwom a wɔbɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu. Na wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ ahanu aduɔwɔtwe nwɔtwe na wɔn mu biara wɔ nnwontoɔ 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.
