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.

Untuk memimpin upacara-upacara ibadat, Raja Daud dan para pemimpin orang Lewi memilih kaum-kaum Lewi yang berikut ini: Asaf, Heman dan Yedutun. Mereka ditugaskan untuk menyampaikan pesan dari Allah dengan diiringi musik kecapi, gambus dan simbal. Untuk memimpin ibadat dengan upacaranya masing-masing, dipilih regu-regu berikut ini:

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.

Keempat anak lelaki Asaf: Zakur, Yusuf, Netanya dan Asarela. Pemimpin mereka adalah Asaf, yang menyampaikan pesan dari Allah, apabila ditugaskan oleh raja.

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.

Keenam anak lelaki Yedutun: Gedalya, Zeri, Yesaya, Simei, Hasabya dan Matica. Di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka, mereka menyampaikan pesan dari Allah diiringi musik kecapi, dan mereka menyanyikan nyanyian pujian serta ucapan syukur kepada TUHAN.

4 Of Heman: sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth;

Keempat belas anak lelaki Heman: Bukia, Matanya, Uziel, Sebuel, Yerimot, Hananya, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamti-Ezer, Yosbekasa, Maloti, Hotir dan Mahaziot.

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.

Heman adalah nabi pribadi raja. TUHAN memberikan keempat belas anak lelaki itu serta tiga anak perempuan kepada Heman karena TUHAN telah berjanji untuk memberi kedudukan terhormat kepadanya.

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.

Semua anak Heman itu memainkan musik simbal, kecapi dan gambus di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka untuk mengiringi upacara ibadat di Rumah TUHAN. Asaf, Yedutun dan Heman mendapat tugas sesuai dengan petunjuk dari raja.

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

Kedua puluh empat anak lelaki mereka itu dan sanak saudara mereka adalah ahli-ahli musik yang terlatih. Mereka seluruhnya ada 288 orang.

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

Untuk menentukan giliran tugas, mereka semuanya menarik undi--baik yang muda maupun yang tua, baik yang berpengalaman maupun yang baru mulai belajar.

9 And the first lot goeth out for Asaph to Joseph; [to] Gedaliah the second; he, and his brethren and his sons, twelve;
