¹Þeir Davíð og hershöfðingjarnir tóku og frá til þjónustu niðja Asafs, Hemans og Jedútúns, er að spámannahætti lofuðu Guð með gígjum, hörpum og skálabumbum. Og tala þeirra, er starf höfðu við þessa þjónustu, var:

¹Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according to their service was:

²Af Asafsniðjum: Sakkúr, Jósef, Netanja og Asarela, synir Asafs, undir stjórn Asafs, er lék eins og spámaður eftir fyrirsögn konungs.

²of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king.

³Af Jedútún: Synir Jedútúns: Gedalja, Serí, Jesaja, Hasabja, Mattitja, Símeí, sex alls, undir stjórn Jedútúns föður síns, er lék á gígju eins og spámaður, þá er lofa skyldi Drottin og vegsama hann.

³Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh.

⁵Allir þessir voru synir Hemans, sjáanda konungs, er horn skyldu hefja að boði Guðs. Og Guð gaf Heman fjórtán sonu og þrjár dætur.

⁵All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

⁶Allir þessir voru við sönginn í musteri Drottins undir stjórn föður þeirra með skálabumbur, hörpur og gígjur til þess að gegna þjónustu í musteri Guðs undir forustu konungs, Asafs, Jedútúns og Hemans.

⁶All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.

⁷Og talan á þeim og frændum þeirra, er lærðir voru í ljóðum Drottins, og allir voru vel að sér, var tvö hundruð áttatíu og átta.
