1 Nyakati 25
1 Daudi na viongozi wa wafanyakazi wa hema la kuabudia walichaguliwa kwa kazi baadhi walikuwa wana wa Asafu, Hemani, na Yeduthuni. Wanaume hawa walitabiri kwa vinubi, vifaa vya uzi, na upatu. Hii ni orodha ya wanaume walioifanya hii kazi:
Moreover David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain 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 those who did the work according to their service was:
2 Kutoka wana wa Asafu: Zakuri, Yosefu, Nethania, na Asharela, wana wa Asafu, chini ya mwongozo wa Asafu, ambaye alitabiri chini ya uwangalizi wa mfalme.
of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king.
3 Kutoka wana wa Yeduthuni: Gedalia, Zeri, Yeshaia, Shimei, Hashabia, na Matithia, sita kwa ujumla, chini ya mwongozo wa baba yao Yeduthuni, ambaye alipiga kinubi kwa kutoa shukurani na kumsifu Yahweh.
Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Jehovah.
4 Kutoka wana wa Hemani: Bukia, Matania, Uzieli, Shebueli, na yerimothi, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gidalti, Romamti Ezeri, yoshibekasha, Mallothi, Hothiri, na Mahaziothi.

5 Hawa wote walikuwa wana wa Hemani mfalme wa manabii. Mungu alimpa Hemani wana kumi na nne na mabinti watatu kwa ajili ya kumpa heshima.
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 Hawa wote walikuwa chini ya mwongozo wa baba yao. Walikuwa ni waimbaji katika nyumba ya Yahweh, pamoja na upatu na vifaa vya uzi walivyohudumu katika nyumba ya Mungu. Asafu, Yeduthuni, na Hemani walikuwa chini ya uwangalizi wa mfalme.
All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
7 Wao na kaka zao walikuwa na uwelewa na walifundishwa kutengeneza muziki kwa Yahweh walikuwa na idadi ya 288.
And the number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Jehovah, even all who were skilful, was two hundred eighty-eight.
8 Walirusha kura kwa majukumu yao, wote sawa, sawa kwa vijana na kwa wazee, kwa walimua na kwa wanafunzi.
