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 mmammarima no nie: Sakur, Yosef, Netania ne Asarela. Na wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Asaf ase. Ɔno na ɔhene hyɛɛ no ma ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho dawuro.

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 Na Yedutun wɔ mmammarima a wɔn nie: Gedalia, Seri, Yesaia, Simei, Hasabia ne Matitia. Wɔyɛ baasia a wɔhyɛ wɔn agya Yedutun ase. Ɔno na ɔnam sankuten so de aseda ne nkamfo maa Awurade de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho dawuro.

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.

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

5 Yeinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene nkɔmhyɛni no mmammarima. Onyankopɔn domm no mmammarima dunan ne mmammaa 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 fie. Wɔn nnwuma ne sɛ wɔbɔ kyankyan, mmɛnta ne nsankuten wɔ Onyankopɔn fie. Na Asaf, Yedutun ne Heman hyɛ ɔhene no ase.

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 Na wɔatete wɔn ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nyinaa wɔ nnwom a wɔbɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu. Na wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ ahanu aduɔwɔtwe nwɔtwe na wɔn mu biara wɔ nnwontoɔ ho nimdeɛ.

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.
