1 Chronicles 25

1 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:

1 Daudi, pamoja na majemadari wa jeshi, wakawatenga baadhi ya wana wa Asafu, wana wa Hemani na wana wa Yeduthuni, kwa ajili ya huduma ya kutoa unabii, wakitumia vinubi, zeze na matoazi. Hii ndiyo orodha ya watu waliofanya huduma hii:

2 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.

2 Kutoka kwa wana wa Asafu walikuwa: Zakuri, Yosefu, Nethania na Asarela. Wana wa Asafu walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa Asafu, ambaye alitoa unabii chini ya usimamizi wa mfalme.

3 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.

3 Wana wa Yeduthuni walikuwa sita: Gedalia, Seri, Yeshaya, Shimei, Hashabia, na Matithia, nao walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa baba yao Yeduthuni, wao walikuwa wakitoa unabii wakitumia vinubi, wakimshukuru na kumtukuza Bwana.

4 From the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

4 Wana wa Hemani walikuwa: Bukia, Matania, Uzieli, Shebueli na Yeremothi, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gidalti na Romamti-Ezeri, Yoshbekasha, Malothi, Hothiri na Mahaziothi.

5 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.

5 Wote hawa walikuwa wana wa Hemani mwonaji wa mfalme. Aliwapata wana hawa kutokana na ahadi ya Mungu ili kumwinua. Mungu alimpa Hemani wana kumi na wanne na binti watatu.

6 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.

6 Hawa wanaume wote walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa baba yao kwa ajili ya uimbaji katika Hekalu la Bwana wakitumia matoazi, zeze na vinubi, kwa ajili ya huduma katika nyumba ya Mungu. Asafu, Yeduthuni na Hemani walikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa mfalme.

7 Together with their relatives, who were all trained and skillful in the songs of the LORD, they numbered 288.
