Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. The number of those who did the work according to their service was:
2 Ku batabani ba Asafu: Zakkuli, ne Yusufu, ne Nesaniya ne Asalera, era abo nga bakulirwa Asafu, eyakolanga ogw’obunnabbi, ate ye ng’akulirwa kabaka.
of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. The sons of Asaph were under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied at the order of the king.
3 Ku batabani ba Yedusuni: Gedaliya, ne Zeri, ne Yesaya, ne Simeeyi, ne Kasabiya ne Mattisiya, be mukaaga awamu, nga bakulirwa kitaabwe Yedusuni, eyakolanga ogw’obunnabbi, nga bw’akuba n’ennanga nga beebaza n’okutendereza Mukama.
Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the LORD with the harp.
4 Ku batabani ba Kemani kabona wa kabaka: Bukkiya, ne Mattaniya, ne Wuziyeeri, ne Sebuweri, ne Yerimosi, ne Kananiya, ne Kanani, ne Eriyaasa, ne Giddaluti, ne Lomamutyezeri, ne Yosubekasa, ne Mallosi, ne Kosiri, ne Makaziyoosi.

5 Abo bonna baali baana ba Kemani nnabbi aweereza kabaka, abaamuweebwa olw’okusuubiza kwa Katonda, okuyimusanga erinnya lye. Katonda yamuwa abaana aboobulenzi kkumi na bana, n’aboobuwala basatu.
All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6 Abo bonna baavunaanyizibwanga ba kitaabwe, olw’okuyimba mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, nga bakuba ebitaasa, n’entongooli, n’ennanga, olw’okuweerezanga okw’omu nnyumba ya Katonda. Asafu, ne Yedusuni, ne Kemani baali bakolera wansi kabaka.
All these were under the hands of their father for song in the LORD’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
7 Omuwendo gw’abo n’eŋŋanda zaabwe abatendekebwa ne bakuguka mu by’okuyimbira Mukama baali ebikumi bibiri mu kinaana mu munaana.
The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to the LORD, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.
8 Bonna baakubira obululu emirimu gye baaweebwa, abato n’abakulu, omutendesi ne gwe batendeka.
