1Ch 25:5 all these were sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt his power;Hozeh ("seer") also means "to see" or "to perceive," but is also used in reference to musicians. It is also used to describe a counselor or an advisor to a king. The Hebrew does not necessarily indicate that the person is a prophet, but rather an advisor—someone who has wisdom.
It means "one who has insight." Hence, the essential meaning in Greek is "interpreter."
With a verb missing, something must be inserted. Often "will be" is inserted (since Jesus is speaking in the future tense). However, I like your use of a dash. Modern English has lots of nice punctuation, and that can be exploited in translation.
Now that I'm here, though, my gut feel (supported by a few translations) is that και εχθροι του ανθρωπου is better captured in English by "a man's enemies." Even better, perhaps, "a person's enemies," since ανθρωπου covers both men and women (and this verse summarises the men and women in the previous verse). Still, "a man's enemies" reads much, much better (and I see the new gender-friendly NIV has stuck with it).

Where there is hatred, grant that I may sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, unity; where there is doubt, faith; where there is error, Your truth and not my personal opinion; where there is despair, hope; where there is sadness, joy; where there is darkness, light. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled by people here as to console them; to be understood by them, as to understand them; to be loved by them, as to love them: For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
It's worth noting that this passage is a (very rough) quote from Micah 7:6:
for the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
From the Hebrew, I think, since the LXX has different wording:

Yes, I like that too!
