1 Chroniques 25

1 Et David et les chefs de l’armée mirent à part pour le service, d’entre les fils d’Asaph et d’Héman et de Jeduthun, ceux qui devaient prophétiser avec des harpes, et des luths, et des cymbales; et le nombre des hommes employés au service était:

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:

2 Des fils d’Asaph: Zaccur, et Joseph, et Nethania, et Ashareéla, fils d’Asaph, sous la direction d’Asaph, qui prophétisait sous la direction du roi.

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.

3 De Jeduthun, les fils de Jeduthun: Guedalia, et Tseri, et Ésaïe, Hashabia, et Matthithia, [et Shimhi], six, sous la direction de leur père Jeduthun, qui prophétisait avec la harpe, pour célébrer et louer l’Éternel.

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.

4 D’Héman, les fils d’Héman: Bukkija, Matthania, Uziel, Shebuel, et Jerimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Éliatha, Guiddalthi, et Romamthi-Ézer, Joshbekasha, Mallothi, Hothir, Makhazioth:

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.

5 tous ceux-là étaient fils d’Héman, le voyant du roi dans les paroles de Dieu, pour exalter sa puissance; et Dieu donna à Héman 14 fils et trois filles.

God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.

6 – Tous ceux-là étaient sous la direction de leurs pères, d’Asaph, et de Jeduthun, et d’Héman, dans le chant de la maison de l’Éternel, avec des cymbales, des luths, et des harpes, pour le service de la maison de Dieu, sous la direction du roi.

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.

7 Et leur nombre, avec leurs frères instruits dans l’art de chanter à l’Éternel, tous les hommes experts, était de 288.

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.

8 Et ils jetèrent les sorts pour leurs charges, le petit comme le grand, l’homme expert avec le disciple.
