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:

Additionally, David and the commanders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The following is the list of the men who performed this service:

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.

From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. These sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction 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.

From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six in all—under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the harp, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.

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 sons of Heman the king’s seer were given him through the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given 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 direction of their fathers for the music of the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.
