歷代志上 5
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；
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 he had defiled his father's bed. That is why Reuben is not listed in the genealogy 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 even though Judah became the strongest of 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 sons 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, the one whom Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria took into exile. He (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、
Beerah's relatives are, listed in their genealogical records by family: Jeiel (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 of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. They lived from Aroer to 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。
On the eastern side they expanded into the land right up to the edge of the desert that continues to the Euphrates River, because their flocks had grown so big in 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]
In the time of Saul they went to war against the Hagrites, defeating them. They took over the places where the Hagrites had lived in all the regions east of Gilead.
11 加得的子孫靠近他們，住在巴商地方直到撒耳加：
Next to them the descendants of Gad lived in Basha, all the way to Salecah.
12 約厄耳為首，沙凡為副，其次為雅乃和巴商的沙法特。
Joel (chief), Shapham (second), and Janai and Shaphat, 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 relatives, according to family, were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—a total of seven.
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, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, 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, son of Guni, was their family chief.
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 all the way to their borders.
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。
They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time 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 tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 battle-ready strong warriors capable of using shields and swords and bows.
19 曾同哈革爾人、耶突爾人、納菲士人和諾達布人作過戰。
They went to war against the Hagrites, 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。
They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
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 captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
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 were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there 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。
The half-tribe of Manasseh had grown very large. They lived in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, (otherwise known as Senir and 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 family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, 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 forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that 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 encouraged of Pul, king of Assyria, (otherwise known as Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), to invade the land. He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
