1Ch 25:1-7.
繁體中文
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——希伯來文作「藉王的手」,即「照王的吩咐」,在亞薩及其同僚親自監督之下。
說預言——即在此處語境中,以樂器彈奏。「預言」一詞這種比喻性的用法,很可能源於先知的慣例:他們力圖藉音樂振奮人心的感召力來激發自己的先知之靈
(參
2Ki 3:15)。
據說亞薩「照大衛的吩咐」如此行,是因為他受王室任命在錫安的會幕中供職
(1Ch 16:37-41),
而其他聖樂的領班則駐於基遍。

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. 希幔是王的先見——「先見」或「大衛的先知」這稱號也賜給迦得
(1Ch 21:9)，
並賜給耶杜頓
(2Ch 29:14, 15)，
說他們都論說神的事（旁註作「話語」）。
高舉角——意即在敬拜神時大聲吹奏；或許也不過是說他主管管樂器，正如耶杜頓主管瑟一樣。希幔起初被派在基遍事奉
(1Ch 16:41)。
但他的職任似乎在後來有所改變。
神賜給希幔十四個兒子，三個女兒——女兒之所以被提及，完全是因她們在音樂上的造詣與才華，而成為詩班的一員
(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. 這些人都在他們父親的手下——亞薩有四個兒子，耶杜頓有六個，希幔有十四個，共二十四人；連同他們的弟兄歌唱的，合計二百八十八人。因為他們像祭司和利未人一樣，分為二十四班，每班十二人，共二百八十八人，每週輪流事奉；這些人每週有一半當值，並配以相稱數目的助手。他們都是技巧純熟、經驗豐富的樂手，足以帶領並教導那為數不少於四千人
(1Ch 23:5)
的全體樂隊。
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.
繁體中文
1Ch 25:8-31.
他們掣籤分為二十四班。
8. 他們掣籤，班對班——「班」是古英語，意為「分隊」或「隊」。掣籤是為了決定各音樂領袖所管轄的各班次之先後；為了確保次序安排的公正，每一班中的師傅與其助手、教師與其學生，都參與這莊嚴的掣籤。本章所列的第一份名單，是按他們作樂手的事奉來分類；第二份則按他們事奉的次序排列。
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.
歌唱者的數目與職任
1. 大衛和眾軍長——即眾首領
(1Ch 23:2; 24:6)。
王在安排歌唱者之時,很可能有協助他規整祭司與利未人次序的同樣一班人隨侍在側。
