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 Na Asaf mmabarima no ne: Sakur, Yosef, Netania ne Asarela. Na wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Asaf ase. Ɔno na ɔhene hyɛɛ no ma ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no dawuru.

Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

3 Na Yedutun wɔ mmabarima a wɔne: Gedalia, Seri, Yesaia, Simei, Hasabia ne Matitia. Wɔyɛ baasia a wɔhyɛ wɔn agya ase. Ɔno na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm, nam sankuten so de aseda ne nkamfo maa Awurade.

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 Yhwh.

4 Na Heman mmabarima din ne: Bukia, Matania, Usiel, Sebuel, Yerimot, Hanania, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamti-Eser, Yosbekasa, Maloti, Hotir, ne Mahasiot.

5 Eyinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene diyifo no mmabarima. Onyankopɔn dom no mmabarima dunan ne mmabea baasa.

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 Na saa mmarima yi nyinaa hyɛ wɔn agyanom ase, na wɔnam so too nnwom wɔ Awurade fi. Wɔn nnwuma ne sɛ wɔbɔ kyɛnkyɛn, mmɛnta ne asankuten wɔ Onyankopɔn fi. Na Asaf, Yedutun ne Heman hyɛ ɔhene no ase.

All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yhwh, 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 Na wɔatetew wɔn ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa wɔ nnwom a wɔto wɔ Awurade anim no mu. Na wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ ahannu aduɔwɔtwe awotwe na wɔn mu biara wɔ nnwonto ho nimdeɛ.

So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of Yhwh, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

8 Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so yiyii nnwontofo tuatuaa nnwuma ahorow ano a wɔanhwɛ sɛ obi yɛ abofra anaa ɔpanyin, ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo anaa osuani.
