1 Chronicles 25

1 Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. The number of those who did the work according to their service was:

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 of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. The sons of Asaph were under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied at the order of the king.

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 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the LORD with the harp.

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 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, 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 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

Eyinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene diyifo no mmabarima. Onyankopɔn dom no mmabarima dunan ne mmabea baasa.

6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the LORD’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of 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 The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to the LORD, even all who were skilful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

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 They cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.

Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so yiyii nnwontofo tuatuaa nnwuma ahorow ano a wɔanhwɛ sɛ obi yɛ abofra anaa ɔpanyin, ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo anaa osuani.
