歌唱者的三大家族

¹大卫和众首领分派亚萨、希幔，并耶杜顿的子孙弹琴、鼓瑟、敲钹、唱歌（原文是说预言；本章同）。他们供职的人数记在下面：Additionally, David and the commanders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The following is the list of the men who performed this service:

²亚萨的儿子撒刻、约瑟、尼探雅、亚萨利拉都归亚萨指教，遵王的旨意唱歌。From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. These sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.

³耶杜顿的儿子基大利、西利、耶筛亚、哈沙比雅、玛他提雅、示每共六人，都归他们父亲耶杜顿指教，弹琴，唱歌，称谢，颂赞耶和华。From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six in all—under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the harp, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.

⁵这都是希幔的儿子，吹角颂赞。希幔奉　神之命作王的先见。　神赐给希幔十四个儿子，三个女儿，All these sons of Heman the king’s seer were given him through the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

⁶都归他们父亲指教，在耶和华的殿唱歌、敲钹、弹琴、鼓瑟，办　神殿的事务。亚萨、耶杜顿、希幔都是王所命定的。All these were under the direction of their fathers for the music of the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.

⁷他们和他们的弟兄学习颂赞耶和华；善于歌唱的共有二百八十八人。Together with their relatives, who were all trained and skillful in the songs of the LORD, they numbered 288.

King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

公会认出他们跟过耶稣

¹³他们见彼得、约翰的胆量，又看出他们原是没有学问的小民，就希奇，认明他们是跟过耶稣的；When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.

¹⁴又看见那治好了的人和他们一同站着，就无话可驳。And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

公会禁止奉耶稣的名讲论

¹⁵于是吩咐他们从公会出去，就彼此商议说：So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.

¹⁶“我们当怎样办这两个人呢？因为他们诚然行了一件明显的神迹，凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道，我们也不能说没有。“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷惟恐这事越发传扬在民间，我们必须恐吓他们，叫他们不再奉这名对人讲论。”But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸于是叫了他们来，禁止他们总不可奉耶稣的名讲论教训人。Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

听从神，不听从人

¹⁹彼得、约翰说：“听从你们，不听从神，这在　神面前合理不合理，你们自己酌量吧！But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

²⁰我们所看见所听见的，不能不说。”For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

²¹官长为百姓的缘故，想不出法子刑罚他们，又恐吓一番，把他们释放了。这是因众人为所行的奇事都归荣耀与　神。After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.

²²原来借着神迹医好的那人有四十多岁了。For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

信徒同心祷告

²³二人既被释放，就到会友那里去，把祭司长和长老所说的话都告诉他们。On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

²⁴他们听见了，就同心合意地高声向　神说：“主啊！你是造天、地、海，和其中万物的，When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

²⁵你曾借着圣灵，托你仆人—我们祖宗大卫的口，说：外邦为什么争闹？万民为什么谋算虚妄的事？You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

²⁶世上的君王一齐起来，臣宰也聚集，要敌挡主，并主的受膏者（或译：基督）。The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’

地方震动，众人被圣灵充满
