1 Chronicles 25

1 And David and the captains of the host separated for the service those of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun who were to prophesy with harps and lutes and cymbals; and the number of the men employed according to their service was:

Untuk memimpin upacara-upacara ibadat, Raja Daud dan para pemimpin orang Lewi memilih kaum-kaum Lewi yang berikut ini: Asaf, Heman dan Yedutun. Mereka ditugaskan untuk menyampaikan pesan dari Allah dengan diiringi musik kecapi, gambus dan simbal. Untuk memimpin ibadat dengan upacaranya masing-masing, dipilih regu-regu berikut ini:

2 of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the direction of the king.

Keempat anak lelaki Asaf: Zakur, Yusuf, Netanya dan Asarela. Pemimpin mereka adalah Asaf, yang menyampaikan pesan dari Allah, apabila ditugaskan oleh raja.

3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Isaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, [and Shimei] six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the harp, to give thanks and to praise Jehovah.

Keenam anak lelaki Yedutun: Gedalya, Zeri, Yesaya, Simei, Hasabya dan Matica. Di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka, mereka menyampaikan pesan dari Allah diiringi musik kecapi, dan mereka menyanyikan nyanyian pujian serta ucapan syukur kepada TUHAN.

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

Keempat belas anak lelaki Heman: Bukia, Matanya, Uziel, Sebuel, Yerimot, Hananya, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamti-Ezer, Yosbekasa, Maloti, Hotir dan Mahaziot.

5 all these were sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his power; and God had given to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

Heman adalah nabi pribadi raja. TUHAN memberikan keempat belas anak lelaki itu serta tiga anak perempuan kepada Heman karena TUHAN telah berjanji untuk memberi kedudukan terhormat kepadanya.

6 All these were under the direction of their fathers Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman, for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, lutes and harps, for the service of the house of God, under the direction of the king.

Semua anak Heman itu memainkan musik simbal, kecapi dan gambus di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka untuk mengiringi upacara ibadat di Rumah TUHAN. Asaf, Yedutun dan Heman mendapat tugas sesuai dengan petunjuk dari raja.

7 And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of Jehovah, all of them skilful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

Kedua puluh empat anak lelaki mereka itu dan sanak saudara mereka adalah ahli-ahli musik yang terlatih. Mereka seluruhnya ada 288 orang.

8 And they cast lots with one another over the charges, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the scholar.

Untuk menentukan giliran tugas, mereka semuanya menarik undi--baik yang muda maupun yang tua, baik yang berpengalaman maupun yang baru mulai belajar.

9 And the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; to Gedaliah the second: he and his brethren and his sons were twelve.
