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;
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:
2
wa wana wa Asafu; Zakuri, na Yusufu, na Nethania, na Asharela, wana wa Asafu; walioamriwa na Asafu, aliyetabiri kwa amri ya mfalme.
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.
3
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.
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.
4

5
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.
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.
6
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.
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.
7
Na hesabu yao, pamoja na ndugu zao waliofundishwa kumwimbia Bwana, wote waliokuwa wastadi, walikuwa mia mbili na themanini na wanane.
Together with their relatives, who were all trained and skillful in the songs of the LORD, they numbered 288.
