1 Och David, samt med härhöfvitsmännerna, afskiljde till ämbete af Assaphs barn, Heman och Jeduthun, de Propheterna med harpor, psaltare och cymbaler; och de vordo talde till verket, efter sitt ämbete:

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 Utaf Assaphs barn: Saccur, Joseph, Nethania, Asarela, Assaphs barn, under Assaph, som propheterade när Konungen.

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 Af Jeduthun: Jeduthuns barn voro: Gedalia, Zeri, Jesaja, Hasabia, Mattithia, de sex, under deras fader Jeduthun, med harpor, hvilke propheterade till att tacka och lofva Herran.

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 Af Heman: Hemans barn voro: Bukkija, Matthania, Ussiel, Sebuel, Jerimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Giddalthi, RomamthiEser, Josbekasa, Mallothi, Hothir och Mahasioth.

5 Desse voro alle Hemans barn, Konungens Siares i Guds ordom, till att upphöja hornet; ty Gud hade gifvit Heman fjorton söner och tre döttrar.

God promised to cause Heman to be strong, so altogether, God have him 14 sons and three daughters.

6 Desse voro alle under deras fäder Assaph, Jeduthun och Heman, till att sjunga i Herrans hus med cymbaler, psaltare och harpor, efter ämbetet i Guds hus när Konungen;

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.
