Musicians and Singers
1 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:
Tena Daudi na maakida wa jeshi wakatenga kwa utumishi baadhi ya wana wa Asafu, na wa Hemani, na wa Yeduthuni, watakaotabiri kwa vinubi na vinanda, na matoazi; hii ndiyo hesabu ya wafanya kazi sawasawa na utumishi wao;
2 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.
wa wana wa Asafu; Zakuri, na Yusufu, na Nethania, na Asharela, wana wa Asafu; walioamriwa na Asafu, aliyetabiri kwa amri ya mfalme.
3 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.
Wa Yeduthuni; wana wa Yeduthuni; Gedalia, na Seri, na Yeshaya, na Hashabia, na Matithia, [na Shimei], watu sita; walioamriwa na baba yao Yeduthuni mwenye kinubi, aliyetabiri katika kumshukuru na kumsifu Bwana.
4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:
Wa Hemani; wana wa Hemani; Bukia, Matania, Uzieli, Shebueli, na Yeremothi, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gidalti, na Romanti-ezeri, Yoshbekasha, Malothi, Hothiri, Mahaziothi;
5 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.
hao wote ndio wana wa Hemani, mwonaji wa mfalme, kwa maneno ya Mungu, ili kuinua pembe. Naye Mungu akampa Hemani wana kumi na wanne na binti watatu.
6 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.
Hao wote waliamriwa na baba yao, waimbe nyumbani mwa Bwana, wakiwa na matoazi, vinanda, na vinubi, kwa utumishi wa nyumba ya Mungu; Asafu, Yeduthuni, na Hemani wakiwa wanaamriwa na mfalme.
7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
Na hesabu yao, pamoja na ndugu zao waliofundishwa kumwimbia Bwana, wote waliokuwa wastadi, walikuwa mia mbili na themanini na wanane.
8 And they cast lots, ward against ward , as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
Wakatupiwa kura ya ulinzi wao, sawasawa wote, mdogo kwa mkubwa, mwalimu kwa mwanafunzi.
