1 Awo Dawudi n’abaduumizi b’eggye, ne baawula abamu ku batabani ba Asafu, n’aba Kemani, n’aba Yedusuni okuweereza, n’okukola obunnabbi, nga bwe bakuba ennanga, n’entongooli, n’ebitaasa. Olukalala lw’abasajja abaakolanga omulimu ogw’okuweereza okwo, lwali:

Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen 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, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to 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, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

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.

Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:

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. And 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 house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

7 Omuwendo gw’abo n’eŋŋanda zaabwe abatendekebwa ne bakuguka mu by’okuyimbira Mukama baali ebikumi bibiri mu kinaana mu munaana.

So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

8 Bonna baakubira obululu emirimu gye baaweebwa, abato n’abakulu, omutendesi ne gwe batendeka.
