1 Chronicles 25

1 And David and the heads of the host separate for service, of the sons of Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, who are prophesying with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals, and the number of the workmen is according to their service.

[組織歌詠團]達味與掌管禮儀的首長，也給阿撒夫、赫曼和耶杜通的子孫分派了任務，要他們以琴瑟、鐃鈸奏聖樂。任職的人數如下：

2 Of sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, [are] by the side of Asaph, who is prophesying by the side of the king.

阿撒夫的子孫：匝雇爾、約色夫、乃塔尼雅和阿沙勒拉，都是阿撒夫的子孫，歸阿撒夫指揮；阿撒夫則照君王的指示奏聖樂。

3 Of Jeduthun: sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, Shisshah, [are] by the side of their father Jeduthun; with a harp he is prophesying, for giving of thanks and of praise to Jehovah.

屬耶杜通的，有耶杜通的子孫革達里雅、責黎、耶沙雅、史米、哈沙彼雅、瑪提提雅，一共六人，都歸他們的父親耶杜通指揮。耶杜通彈琴奏樂，稱謝頌揚上主。

5 all these [are] sons of Heman — seer of the king in the things of God — to lift up a horn; and God giveth to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

這些人都是那奉天主命，作君王「先見者」的赫曼的兒子，天主為使他有能力，賜給了他十四個兒子和三個女兒。

6 All these [are] by the side of their father in the song of the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; by the side of the king [are] Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman.

這些人皆歸他們的父親指揮，在上主的殿內，以鐃鈸、勤、瑟演奏聖樂。在天主的聖殿供職時，受君王指示的是阿撒夫、耶杜通和赫曼。

7 And their number, with their brethren — taught in the song of Jehovah, all who are intelligent — is two hundred, eighty and eight.

這些人連同他們在歌詠上主得事上，受過特殊訓練的弟兄，共計二百八十八人。

8 And they cause to fall lots — charge over-against [charge], as well the small as the great, the intelligent with the learner.

這些人，不分大小，不分師生，一律以抽籤分派職務。[二十四班]
