1 [勒烏本支派]以色列的長子勒烏本的子孫:─他雖是長子,但因他玷污了父親的床榻,他長子的權利已轉給了以色列的兒子若瑟的兩個兒子,不過後者在譜系上並沒有列為長子;
These were the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, because Reuben defiled his father’s bed. So he is not reckoned according to birthright.
2 長子的權利雖歸若瑟,但兄弟中猶大最為強盛,因為領袖由他而生。
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 以色列的長子勒烏本的兒子:哈諾客、帕路、赫茲龍和加爾米。
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 約厄耳的子孫:約厄耳的兒子舍瑪雅,舍瑪雅的兒子哥格,哥格的兒子史米,
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 史米的兒子米加,米加的兒子勒阿雅,勒阿雅的兒子巴耳,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 巴耳的兒子貝厄辣;他為亞述王提革拉特丕肋色爾擄去;他是勒烏本人的族長。
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 他的兄弟們按家族歷代的譜系,為族長的是耶厄耳、則加黎雅、
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 阿匝次的兒子貝拉;阿匝次是舍瑪的兒子,舍瑪是約厄耳的兒子。勒烏本居住在阿洛厄爾,直到乃波和巴耳默紅一帶,
and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.
9 向東延至幼發拉的河岸曠野邊,因為他在基勒阿得地方有大批的牲畜。
They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead.
10 在撒烏耳時代,他們同哈革爾人作戰,哈革爾人失敗,勒烏本子孫佔領了基肋阿得東部所有的地域,佔有他們的帳幕。[加得支派]
During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands, and they occupied the homes of the Hagrites throughout the region east of Gilead.
11 加得的子孫靠近他們,住在巴商地方直到撒耳加:
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 約厄耳為首,沙凡為副,其次為雅乃和巴商的沙法特。
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 按家族,他們的兄弟是:米加耳、默叔藍、舍巴、約賴、雅甘、齊雅和厄貝爾七人。
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 他們都是阿彼海耳的子孫:阿彼海耳是胡黎的兒子,胡黎是雅洛亞的兒子,雅洛亞是基肋阿得的兒子,基肋阿得是米加耳的兒子,米加耳是耶史賽的兒子,耶史賽是雅多的兒子,雅多是步次的兒子。
These were the sons of Abihail 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.
15 古尼的孫子,阿貝狄耳的兒子阿希,是他們一家的族長。
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 他們住在基肋阿得、巴商和所屬各村鎮,以及息黎雍直到邊界所有的牧場:
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 以上所有的加得人,是在猶大王約堂與以色列王雅洛貝罕時代所統計的。
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 勒烏本、加得和默納協半支派的子孫,都是英勇的軍人;能持盾操刀,善射好戰,出征上陣的人,有四萬四千七百六十。
The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors—valiant men who carried the shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for battle.
19 曾同哈革爾人、耶突爾人、納菲士人和諾達布人作過戰。
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 作戰時蒙天主助佑,哈革爾人和所有聯軍都落在他們手中,因為他們作戰時呼求了天主,依賴了天主,也蒙了垂允。
And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.
21 他們掠奪了敵人的牲畜:駱駝五萬,羊二十五萬,驢二千,人口十萬。
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 因有天主助戰,敵人傷亡慘重。他們居住在那地方,直到充軍的時期。[默納協半支派]
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 默納協半支派的子孫居住的地方,由巴商直到巴耳赫爾孟、色尼爾和赫爾孟山;他們人數眾多。
Now the people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount Hermon).
24 他們各家的族長如下:厄斐爾、依史、厄里耳、阿次黎耳、耶勒米雅、曷達委雅和雅狄耳:都是英勇的軍人,出名的人物,家族的首領。
These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.
25 但是,他們卻背叛了自己祖先的天主,而事奉了當地人民的神,這些人民原是天主曾在他們前所消滅的。
But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 因此,以色列的天主激起了亞述王普耳,即亞述王提革拉丕肋色爾的心,將勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派的人擄走,送到哈拉、哈波爾、哈辣和哥倉河一帶;他們直到今日仍在那裏。[充軍前亞郎的子孫]
So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
