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 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 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 Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, who prophesied according to 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, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

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 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 Wao na kaka zao walikuwa na uwelewa na walifundishwa kutengeneza muziki kwa Yahweh walikuwa na idadi ya 288.

So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were skillful, was two hundred and eighty eight.

8 Walirusha kura kwa majukumu yao, wote sawa, sawa kwa vijana na kwa wazee, kwa walimua na kwa wanafunzi.

And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
