١ أخبار 5

١ 1 وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَلِأَجْلِ تَدْنِيسِهِ فِرَاشَ أَبِيهِ، أُعْطِيَتْ بَكُورِيَّتُهُ لِبَنِي يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَمْ يُنْسَبْ بِكْرًا.

The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّ يَهُوذَا ٱعْتَزَّ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْهُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَكُورِيَّةُ فَلِيُوسُفَ.

For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—

٣ 3 بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي.

the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

٤ 4 بَنُو يُوئِيلَ: ٱبْنُهُ شَمْعِيَا، وَٱبْنُهُ جُوجُ، وَٱبْنُهُ شِمْعِي،

The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

٥ 5 وَٱبْنُهُ مِيخَا، وَٱبْنُهُ رَآيَا، وَٱبْنُهُ بَعْلٌ،

Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

٦ 6 وَٱبْنُهُ بَئِيرَةُ ٱلَّذِي سَبَاهُ تَلْغَثُ فَلْنَاسَرَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ. هُوَ رَئِيسُ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ.

and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.

٧ 7 وَإِخْوَتُهُ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ فِي ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ حَسَبَ مَوَالِيدِهِمِ: ٱلرَّئِيسُ يَعِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا،

His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was listed: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

٨ 8 وَبَالِعُ بْنُ عَزَازَ بْنِ شَامِعَ بْنِ يُوئِيلَ ٱلَّذِي سَكَنَ فِي عَرُوعِيرَ حَتَّى إِلَى نَبُوَ وَبَعْلِ مَعُونَ.

and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon;

٩ 9 وَسَكَنَ شَرْقًا إِلَى مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ، لِأَنَّ مَاشِيَتَهُمْ كَثُرَتْ فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ.

and he lived eastward even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

١٠ 10 وَفِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ عَمِلُوا حَرْبًا مَعَ ٱلْهَاجَرِيِّينَ فَسَقَطُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَسَكَنُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ فِي جَمِيعِ جِهَاتِ شَرْقِ جِلْعَادَ.

In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

١١ 11 وَبَنُو جَادَ سَكَنُوا مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ حَتَّى إِلَى سَلْخَةَ.

The sons of Gad lived beside them in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

١٢ 12 يُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّأْسُ، وَشَافَاطُ ثَانِيهِ، وَيَعْنَايُ وَشَافَاطُ فِي بَاشَانَ.

Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

١٣ 13 وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَشُلَّامُ وَشَبَعُ وَيُورَايُ وَيَعْكَانُ وَزِيعُ وَعَابِرُ. سَبْعَةٌ.

Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven.

١٤ 14 هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو أَبِيحَايِلَ بْنِ حُورِيَ بْنِ يَارُوحَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مِيخَائِيلَ بْنِ يَشِيشَايَ بْنِ يَحْدُوَ بْنِ بُوزٍ.

These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

١٥ 15 وَأَخِي بْنُ عَبْدِئِيلَ بْنِ جُونِي رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses.

١٦ 16 وَسَكَنُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ فِي بَاشَانَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَسَارِحِ شَارُونَ عِنْدَ مَخَارِجِهَا.

They lived in Gilead in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon as far as their borders.

١٧ 17 جَمِيعُهُمُ ٱنْتَسَبُوا فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

١٨ 18 بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَٱلْجَادِيُّونَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَأْسِ، رِجَالٌ يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلتُّرْسَ وَٱلسَّيْفَ وَيَشُدُّونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ وَمُتَعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْقِتَالَ، أَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ.

The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, able to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty that were able to go out to war.

١٩ 19 وَعَمِلُوا حَرْبًا مَعَ ٱلْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَيَطُورَ وَنَافِيشَ وَنُودَابَ،

They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

٢٠ 20 فَٱنْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ. فَدُفِعَ لِيَدِهِمِ ٱلْهَاجَرِيُّونَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمُ اُتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.

٢١ 21 وَنَهَبُوا مَاشِيَتَهُمْ: جِمَالَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا، وَغَنَمًا مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا، وَحَمِيرًا أَلْفَيْنِ. وَسَبَوْا أُنَاسًا مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ.

They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ سَقَطَ قَتْلَى كَثِيرُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱللهِ. وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ.

For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

٢٣ 23 وَبَنُو نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى سَكَنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱمْتَدُّوا مِنْ بَاشَانَ إِلَى بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ وَسَنِيرَ وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

٢٤ 24 وَهَؤُلَاءِ رُؤُوسُ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: عَافَرُ وَيَشْعِي وَأَلِيئِيلُ وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيَرْمِيَا وَهُودَوْيَا وَيَحْدِيئِيلُ رِجَالٌ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ وَذَوُو ٱسْمٍ وَرُؤُوسٌ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

٢٥ 25 وَخَانُوا إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ.

They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed before them.

٢٦ 26 فَنَبَّهَ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ رُوحَ فُولَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَرُوحَ تَلْغَثَ فَلْنَاسَرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَسَبَاهُمُ، ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، وَأَتَى بِهِمْ إِلَى حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ وَهَارَا وَنَهْرِ جُوزَانَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried away the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
