1 N a Rawiri hoki, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, i wehe mo te mahi etahi o nga tama a Ahapa, a Hemana, a Ierutunu, hei poropiti i runga i te hapa, i te hatere, i te himipora. Na, ko te tokomaha o nga kaimahi, me ta ratou mahi koia tenei:

¶ Moreover David and the captains of the host separated unto the ministry the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals; and the number of men that were suitable for the work of their respective ministry was,

2 N o nga tama a Ahapa, ko Takuru, ko Hohepa, ko Netania, ko Atarera; ko te kaiwhakamahi mo nga tama a Ahapa, ko Ahapa; rite tahi ki ta te kingi tikanga tana poropiti.

of 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.

3 K o a Ierutunu: ko nga tama a Ierutunu; ko Keraria, ko Teri, ko Ihaia, ko Hahapia, ko Matitia, tokoono: ko to ratou papa ko Ierutunu to ratou kaiwhakamahi. I poropiti ia i runga i te hapa, i whakawhetai, i whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.

Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hand of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

4 K o a Hemana: ko nga tama a Hemana; ko Pukia, ko Matania, ko Utiere, ko Hepuere, ko Terimoto, ko Hanania, ko Hanani, ko Eriata, ko Kirarati, ko Romamatietere, ko Iohopekaha, ko Maroti, ko Hotiri, ko Mahatioto.

Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

5 K o enei katoa he tama na Hemana matakite a te kingi, mo nga mea a te Atua, hei hapai i te haona. Na homai ana e te Atua ki a Hemana kotahi tekau ma wha nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.

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.

6 K o enei katoa he mea whakamahi na to ratou papa ki te waiata i te whare o Ihowa i runga i nga himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa, hei mahi ki te whare o te Atua, hei pera ano me ta te kingi i ki ai ki a Ahapa, ki a Ierutunu, ki a Hemana.

All 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.

7 N a, ko te tokomaha o ratou, o o ratou teina, i whakaakona ki nga waiata a Ihowa, ko te hunga mohio katoa, e rua rau e waru tekau ma waru.

So 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.

8 I maka rota ano ratou mo ta ratou e tiaki ai, te iti, te rahi, te kaiwhakaako raua ko te akonga.

¶ And they cast lots, ward against ward, the small as well as the great, the one with understanding as well as the disciple.

9 N a ko te putanga o te rota tuatahi no Ahapa, ki a Hohepa: o te tuarua no Keraria; tekau ma rua ratou ko ona teina, ko ana tama.
