1 Chroniques 25

1 Et le roi David et les chefs de l'armée réglèrent les fonctions des fils d'Asaph, d'Hêman et d'Idithun, chantres, s'accompagnant de harpes, de lyres et de cymbales, et qui furent employés tour à tour, selon leur nombre.

Additionally, David and the commanders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The following is the list of the men who performed this service:

2 Fils d'Asaph, attachés à la personne du roi: Sacchur, Joseph, Natharias et Enahel.

From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. These sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.

3 Fils d'Idithun: Godolias, Suri, Iséas, Asabias et Matthathias; six, en comptant leur père Idithun, s'accompagnant de la harpe, et louant le Seigneur en lui rendant grâces.

From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six in all—under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the harp, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.

4 Fils d'Hêman: Bucias, Matthanias, Oziel, Subahel, Jerimoth, Ananias, Anan, Eliatha, Godollathi, Hornetthiézer, Jesbasaca, Mallithi, Otheri et Méasoth.

From the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

5 Tous fils d'Hêman, premier chantre du roi pour louer Dieu et exalter sa puissance. Ainsi, Dieu avait donné à Hêman quatorze fils, outre trois filles.

All these sons of Heman the king’s seer were given him through the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 Tous ses fils chantaient avec lui dans le tabernacle de Dieu, en s'accompagnant de harpes, de lyres et de cymbales; ils servaient en la demeure de Dieu, attachés à la personne du roi, ainsi qu'Asaph, Idithun et Hêman.

All these were under the direction of their fathers for the music of the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.

7 Et leur nombre, joint à celui de leurs frères, instruits à chanter le Seigneur, montait à deux cent quatre-vingt-huit, tout compris.

Together with their relatives, who were all trained and skillful in the songs of the LORD, they numbered 288.

8 Et ils réglèrent aussi, par le sort, leur service journalier, après qu'ils furent classés, selon leur plus ou moins de science et de talent.
