1 Chroniques 25
1 Et le roi David et les chefs de l'armée réglèrent les fonctions des fils d'Asaph, d'Hêman et d'Idithun, chantres, s'accompagnant de harpes, de lyres et de cymbales, et qui furent employés tour à tour, selon leur nombre.
David and the leaders of the army selected some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. Here is the list of the men who performed this service:
2 Fils d'Asaph, attachés à la personne du roi: Sacchur, Joseph, Natharias et Enahel.
From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the king's supervision.
3 Fils d'Idithun: Godolias, Suri, Iséas, Asabias et Matthathias; six, en comptant leur père Idithun, s'accompagnant de la harpe, et louant le Seigneur en lui rendant grâces.
From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who played the harp for giving thanks and praising Yahweh.
4 Fils d'Hêman: Bucias, Matthanias, Oziel, Subahel, Jerimoth, Ananias, Anan, Eliatha, Godollathi, Hornetthiézer, Jesbasaca, Mallithi, Otheri et Méasoth.

5 Tous fils d'Hêman, premier chantre du roi pour louer Dieu et exalter sa puissance. Ainsi, Dieu avait donné à Hêman quatorze fils, outre trois filles.
All these were the sons of Heman the king's prophet. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters to lift up his horn.
6 Tous ses fils chantaient avec lui dans le tabernacle de Dieu, en s'accompagnant de harpes, de lyres et de cymbales; ils servaient en la demeure de Dieu, attachés à la personne du roi, ainsi qu'Asaph, Idithun et Hêman.
All these were under the direction of their fathers. They were musicians in Yahweh's house, with cymbals and stringed instruments as they served in God's house. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the king's supervision.
7 Et leur nombre, joint à celui de leurs frères, instruits à chanter le Seigneur, montait à deux cent quatre-vingt-huit, tout compris.
They and their brothers who were skilled and trained to make music to Yahweh numbered 288.
8 Et ils réglèrent aussi, par le sort, leur service journalier, après qu'ils furent classés, selon leur plus ou moins de science et de talent.
