1 Istwa 25

1 Anplis, David avèk kòmandan lame yo te mete apa pou sèvis kèk nan fis a Asaph yo, Héman ak Jeduthun pou pwofetize avèk gita yo, ap ak senbal; epi fòs kantite moun ki te fè sèvis pa yo se te:

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 Nan fis a Asaph yo: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethania avèk Aschareéla; fis a Asaph yo te anba direksyon a Asaph, ki te pwofetize anba direksyon a wa a.

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 Selon Juduthun, fis a Juduthun yo: Guedalia, Tseri, Ésaïe, Haschabia, Matthithia avèk Schimeï, sis, anba direksyon a papa yo, Juduthun, avèk ap la, ki te konn pwofetize nan bay remèsiman avèk lwanj SENYÈ a.

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 Selon Héman, fis a Héman nan: Bukkija, Matthania, Uziel, Schebuel, Jerimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Éliatha, Guiddalthi, Romamthi-Ézer, Joschbekascha, Mallòthi, Hothir, Machazioth.

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 Tout sila yo te fis a Héman yo, konseye a wa a ki pou bay li ekspiyasyon selon pawòl a Bondye; paske Bondye te bay katòz fis ak twa fi a Héman.

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

6 Tout te anba direksyon a papa yo pou chante lakay SENYÈ a, avèk senbal, ap ak gita yo, pou sèvis kay Bondye a. Asaph, Jeduthun avèk Héman te anba direksyon wa a.

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 Fòs kantite nan yo ki te prepare kon chantè a SENYÈ yo, avèk manm fanmi pa yo, tout te byen abil, te de-san-katreven-di-zuit.

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 Yo te tire osò pou travay tach yo, tout menm jan an, piti kon gran, pwofesè kon elèv.

All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
