历代志上 5
1 以色列的长子原是吕便；因他污秽了父亲的床，他长子的名分就归了约瑟。只是按家谱他不算长子。
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,

9 又向东延到幼发拉底河这边的旷野，因为他们在基列地牲畜增多。
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 扫罗年间，他们与夏甲人争战，夏甲人倒在他们手下，他们就在基列东边的全地，住在夏甲人的帐棚里。

18 吕便人、迦得人，和玛拿西半支派的人，能拿盾牌和刀剑、拉弓射箭、出征善战的勇士共有四万四千七百六十名。
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 他们与夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人、挪答人争战。
They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 他们得了 神的帮助，夏甲人和跟随夏甲的人都交在他们手中；因为他们在阵上呼求 神，倚赖 神， 神就应允他们。
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 他们掳掠了夏甲人的牲畜，有骆驼五万，羊二十五万，驴二千；又有人十万。
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 敌人被杀仆倒的甚多，因为这争战是出乎 神。他们就住在敌人的地上，直到被掳的时候。
and many others were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there until the exile.
23 玛拿西半支派的人住在那地。从巴珊延到巴力·黑们、示尼珥与黑门山。
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).

These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of their families.
25 他们得罪了他们列祖的 神，随从那地之民的神行邪淫；这民就是 神在他们面前所除灭的。
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 故此，以色列的 神激动亚述王普勒和亚述王提革拉·毗列色的心，他们就把吕便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人掳到哈腊、哈博、哈拉与歌散河边，直到今日还在那里。
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.
