Originale inglese
1Ch 25:1-7.
NUMBER AND OFFICE OF THE SINGERS.
1. David and the captains of the host--that is, the princes
(1Ch 23:2; 24:6).
It is probable that the king was attended on the occasion of arranging the singers by the same parties that are mentioned as having assisted him in regulating the order of the priests and Levites.

2. 都遵王的旨意——希伯来文作「藉王的手」,即「照王的吩咐」,在亚萨及其同僚亲自监督之下。
说预言——即在此处语境中,以乐器弹奏。「预言」一词这种比喻性的用法,很可能源于先知的惯例:他们力图借音乐振奋人心的感召力来激发自己的先知之灵
(参
2Ki 3:15)。
据说亚萨「照大卫的吩咐」如此行,是因为他受王室任命在锡安的会幕中供职
(1Ch 16:37-41),
而其他圣乐的领班则驻于基遍。

2. according to the order of the king--Hebrew, "by the hands of the king," that is, "according to the king's order," under the personal superintendence of Asaph and his colleagues.
which prophesied--that is, in this connection, played with instruments. This metaphorical application of the term "prophecy" most probably originated in the practice of the prophets, who endeavored to rouse their prophetic spirit by the animating influence of music (see on
2Ki 3:15).
It is said that Asaph did this "according to David's order," because by royal appointment he officiated in the tabernacle on Zion
(1Ch 16:37-41),
while other leaders of the sacred music were stationed at Gibeon.

5. 王的先见希幔——「先见」或「大卫的先知」这一称号也赐给迦得
(1Ch 21:9),
以及耶杜顿
(2Ch 29:14, 15),
在神的事上(旁注,「事情」)。
高举角——即在敬拜神时大声吹奏;或许不过是指他主管管乐器,正如耶杜顿主管琴一样。希幔最初被派在基遍供职
(1Ch 16:41)。
但其后似乎有所变更。
神赐给希幔十四个儿子,三个女儿——女儿之所以被提及,只是因为她们具有音乐品味与才能,组成了诗班的一部分
(Ps 68:25)。

5. Heman the king's seer--The title of "seer" or "prophet of David" is also given to Gad
(1Ch 21:9),
and to Jeduthun
(2Ch 29:14, 15),
in the words (Margin, "matters") of God.
to lift up the horn--that is, to blow loudly in the worship of God; or perhaps it means nothing more than that he presided over the wind instruments, as Jeduthun over the harp. Heman had been appointed at first to serve at Gibeon
(1Ch 16:41).
But his destination seems to have been changed at a subsequent period.
God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters--The daughters are mentioned, solely because from their musical taste and talents they formed part of the choir
(Ps 68:25).

6, 7. 这些都在他们父亲的手下——亚萨有四子,耶杜顿六子,希幔十四子,共二十四人;这些乐师连同他们作歌唱者的弟兄,合计二百八十八人。因为他们与祭司、利未人一样,分为二十四班,每班十二人,共二百八十八人,按周轮换事奉;这些人中每周有一半供职,辅以相应数目的助手,他们都是技艺精湛、经验丰富的乐师,足以带领并教导那总数不下四千人的全体乐团
(1Ch 23:5)。
Originale inglese
6, 7. All these were under the hands of their father--Asaph had four sons, Jeduthun six, and Heman fourteen, equal to twenty-four; making the musicians with their brethren the singers, an amount of two hundred eighty-eight. For, like the priests and Levites, they were divided into twenty-four courses of twelve men each, equal to two hundred eighty-eight, who served a week in rotation; and these, half of whom officiated every week with a proportionate number of assistants, were skilful and experienced musicians, capable of leading and instructing the general musical corps, which comprised no less than four thousand
(1Ch 23:5).

1Ch 25:8-31.
他们掣签分为二十四个班次
8. 他们掣签,班次对着班次——「班次」(ward)是古英语中「分队」或「班组」之意。掣签是为了决定各乐师长所主管的各等次或分队的位次先后;为确保次序安排公正无私,每一等次或班组中,师傅与其助手、教师与其学生,都参与这一庄严的掣签。本章所给的第一份名单,按他们作为乐师的职务分类;第二份名单则按他们事奉的次序排列。
Originale inglese
1Ch 25:8-31.
THEIR DIVISION BY LOT INTO FOUR AND TWENTY ORDERS.
8. they cast lots, ward against ward--"Ward" is an old English word for "division" or "company." The lot was cast to determine the precedence of the classes or divisions over which the musical leaders presided; and, in order to secure an impartial arrangement of their order, the master and his assistants, the teacher and his scholars, in each class or company took part in this solemn casting of lots. In the first catalogue given in this chapter the courses are classed according to their employment as musicians. In the second, they are arranged in the order of their service.
1Ch 25:1-7.
歌唱者的数目与职任
1. 大卫和众军长——即众首领
(1Ch 23:2; 24:6)。
王在安排歌唱者之时,很可能有协助他规整祭司与利未人次序的同样一班人随侍在侧。
