Note 1 topic: translate-names

וּ⁠מַתַּנְיָ֣ה בֶן־מִ֠יכָה בֶּן־זַבְדִּ֨י בֶן־אָסָ֜ף

and,Mattaniah son_of Mīkəʼ son_of Zaⱱdiy son_of ʼĀşāf

These are the names of four men. In this context, son means literally that the next man named is the father of the man just named.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מַתַּנְיָ֣ה

and,Mattaniah

The implication is that Mattaniah was another leader of the Levites who settled in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Another leader of the Levites who settled in Jerusalem was”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רֹ֗אשׁ הַ⁠תְּחִלָּה֙ יְהוֹדֶ֣ה לַ⁠תְּפִלָּ֔ה

head the,begin thanksgiving in_the,prayer

Head here is a figurative way of saying leader. Alternate translation: “the director of the Levite choir”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

רֹ֗אשׁ הַ⁠תְּחִלָּה֙

head the,begin

This expression seems to indicate that Mattaniah told the Levite musicians who sang in the temple when to begin singing; that is, he was the director of their choir. As the choir director, he would have done many other things as well. For example, he would keep the tempo, have the choir sing louder or softer, and tell the choir when to stop singing. Here the list is describing the work of directing the choir by reference to one aspect of it, starting the singing. Alternate translation: “the director”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יְהוֹדֶ֣ה לַ⁠תְּפִלָּ֔ה

thanksgiving in_the,prayer

Here the book is describing the choir by reference to one kind of thing it was associated with, the prayers of thanksgiving that it sang. Alternate translation: “of the choir”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יְהוֹדֶ֣ה לַ⁠תְּפִלָּ֔ה

thanksgiving in_the,prayer

While the list says that Mattaniah offered this prayer really, the whole choir did so with him as its director. The list is referring to the entire choir by the name of one member, Mattaniah. Alternate translation: “of the choir”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠בַקְבֻּקְיָ֖ה & וְ⁠עַבְדָּא֙

and,Bakbukiah & and,Abda

The implication is that Bakbukiah and Abda were further leaders of the Levites who settled in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Two other leaders of the priests who settled in Jerusalem were”

Note 8 topic: translate-names

וּ⁠בַקְבֻּקְיָ֖ה

and,Bakbukiah

This is the name of a man.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִשְׁנֶ֣ה מֵ⁠אֶחָ֑י⁠ו

second among,associates,his

Here, brother likely refers to the other the Levites in this division. The expression means that Bakbukiah was another leader who assisted Mattaniah with the Levite choir. It could also possibly mean that he directed a second group of singers. Alternate translation: “who assisted Mattaniah with the Levite choir”

Note 10 topic: translate-ordinal

מִשְׁנֶ֣ה

second

Alternate translation: “the next in command”

Note 11 topic: translate-names
