وَخَصَّصَ داوُدُ وَرُؤَساءُ الجَيشِ لِلخِدْمَةِ أبْناءَ آسافَ وَهَيْمانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ، الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِالقَياثِيرِ وَالرَّبابِ وَالصُّنُوجِ. وَهَذِهِ قائِمَةٌ بِأسْماءِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يُؤَدُّونَ هَذِهِ الخِدمَةَ:

2 o f the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the hand of the king.

5 A ll 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.

كانَ هَؤُلاءِ كُلُّهُمْ أبْناءَ هَيْمانَ، رائِي المَلِكِ، وَفْقَ وَعْدِ اللهِ بِأنْ يَجعَلَهُ قَوِيّاً. وَرَزَقَ اللهُ هَيْمانَ أربَعَةَ عَشَرَ ابْناً وَثَلاثَ بَناتٍ.

6 A ll these were under the direction of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the ministry of the house of God, under the hand of the king, of Asaph, of Jeduthun, and of Heman.

كانُوا جَميعاً يَعمَلُونَ تَحتَ إشْرافِ أبِيهِمْ فِي التَّرْنِيمِ لِبَيتِ اللهِ بِالصُّنُوجِ وَالرَّبابِ وَالقَياثِيرِ مِنْ أجلِ خِدْمَةِ بَيتِ اللهِ. وَكانَ آسافُ وَهَيمانُ وَيَدُوثُونَ، تَحْتَ إشْرافِ المَلِكِ المُباشِرِ.

7 S o the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that had understanding, was two hundred eighty-eight.
