1 Whakapapa 25
1 Na Rawiri hoki, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, i wehe mo te mahi etahi o nga tama a Ahapa, a Hemana, a Ierutunu, hei poropiti i runga i te hapa, i te hatere, i te himipora. Na, ko te tokomaha o nga kaimahi, me ta ratou mahi koia tenei:
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 No nga tama a Ahapa, ko Takuru, ko Hohepa, ko Netania, ko Atarera; ko te kaiwhakamahi mo nga tama a Ahapa, ko Ahapa; rite tahi ki ta te kingi tikanga tana poropiti.
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 Ko a Ierutunu: ko nga tama a Ierutunu; ko Keraria, ko Teri, ko Ihaia, ko Hahapia, ko Matitia, tokoono: ko to ratou papa ko Ierutunu to ratou kaiwhakamahi. I poropiti ia i runga i te hapa, i whakawhetai, i whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.
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 Ko a Hemana: ko nga tama a Hemana; ko Pukia, ko Matania, ko Utiere, ko Hepuere, ko Terimoto, ko Hanania, ko Hanani, ko Eriata, ko Kirarati, ko Romamatietere, ko Iohopekaha, ko Maroti, ko Hotiri, ko Mahatioto.
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 Ko enei katoa he tama na Hemana matakite a te kingi, mo nga mea a te Atua, hei hapai i te haona. Na homai ana e te Atua ki a Hemana kotahi tekau ma wha nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.
6 Ko enei katoa he mea whakamahi na to ratou papa ki te waiata i te whare o Ihowa i runga i nga himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa, hei mahi ki te whare o te Atua, hei pera ano me ta te kingi i ki ai ki a Ahapa, ki a Ierutunu, ki a Hemana.
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 Na, ko te tokomaha o ratou, o o ratou teina, i whakaakona ki nga waiata a Ihowa, ko te hunga mohio katoa, e rua rau e waru tekau ma waru.
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 I maka rota ano ratou mo ta ratou e tiaki ai, te iti, te rahi, te kaiwhakaako raua ko te akonga.
All of them, including ones who were young and those who were old, cast lots to determine what work they would do.
