1 Chronicles 5
1 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.
Esiawoe nye Ruben ƒe viŋutsuwo. Ruben nye Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbevi. Togbɔ be eyae nye ŋgɔgbevi hã la, eƒo ɖi fofoa ƒe srɔ̃ɖeba eya ta woxɔ ŋgɔgbevinyenye la le esi tsɔ na Israel ƒe vi, Yosef ƒe viŋutsuwo. Esia tae womeŋlɔ eƒe ŋkɔ be eyae nye ŋgɔgbevi le dzidzimegbalẽ la me abe ale si wòle be wòanɔ ene o.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—
Togbɔ be Yosef va zu ŋgɔgbevi hã la, Yuda va nye hlɔ̃ sesẽ, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Israel eye Yuda mee fiavi aɖe do tso.
3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Ruben ƒe viwoe nye: Hanok, Palu, Hezron kple Karmi.
4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Yoel ƒe viwoe nye, Semaya, ame si dzi Gog, ame si dzi Simei.
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Simei ƒe vie nye Mika, ame si dzi Reaia, ame si dzi Baal.
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.
Baal ƒe vie nye Beera, ame si nye fiavi tso Ruben ƒe viwo dome. Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser ɖe aboyoe.
7 His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was listed: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
Woƒe ƒometɔwo le woƒe hlɔ̃wo nu abe ale si wode wo dzidzimegbalẽ la me la, le ale: Yeiel, fia la kple Zekaria
8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon;
kple Bela, Azaz ƒe viŋutsu, Sema ƒe viŋutsu kple Yoel ƒe viŋutsu. Wonɔ teƒe si tso Aroer yi Nebo kple Baal Meon.
9 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.
Yoel nye lãnyila; enyi woƒe lãwo le gbegbe la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo heyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la gbɔ elabena nyi geɖewo nɔ Gileadnyigba dzi.
10 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.
Le Fia Saul ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Ruben ƒe viwo ɖu Hagritɔwo dzi eye woge ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo me le Gilead ƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo dzi.
11 The sons of Gad lived beside them in the land of Bashan to Salecah:
Gad ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ woƒe kasa le anyigba si tso Basan yi keke Saleka:
12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
Yoel nye wo dometɔ xɔŋkɔtɔ eye Safam, Yanai kple Safat kplɔe ɖo.
13 Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven.
Woƒe ƒometɔ siwo nye hlɔ̃ adreawo ƒe amegãwo la woe nye, Mikael, Mesulam, Seba, Yorai, Yakan, Zia kple Eber.
14 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;
Buz ƒe dzidzimeviwo le woƒe tsitsi nu le ale: Yahdo, Yesisai. Mikael, Gilead, Yarao, Huri kple Abihail.
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses.
Guni ƒe vi, Abdiel ƒe vi, Ahi nye hlɔ̃ la ƒe kplɔla.
16 They lived in Gilead in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon as far as their borders.
Hlɔ̃ la nɔ Gilead, Basan kple wo ŋu duwo me kpakple Saron ƒe lãnyiƒe nutowo katã me va se ɖe eƒe mlɔenu.
17 All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Woŋlɔ wo katã ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe dzidzimegbalẽ la me le Yuda fia Yotam kple Israel fia Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.
18 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 skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty that were able to go out to war.
Asrafo akpe blaene-vɔ-ene alafa adre blaade, ame siwo si aʋawɔnuwo nɔ, wohe wo nyuie eye wonye kalẽtɔwo la nɔ Ruben, Gad kple Manase ƒe to la ƒe afã ƒe aʋakɔ me.
19 They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
Woho aʋa ɖe Hagritɔwo, Yeturitɔwo, Nafisitɔwo kple Nodabitɔwo ŋu.
20 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.
Wodo gbe ɖa na Mawu, bia eƒe kpekpeɖeŋu eye wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe ŋuɖoɖo ɖe eŋu ta. Ale woɖu Hagritɔwo kple woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo dzi.
21 They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
Woƒe afunyinuwo nye kposɔ akpe blaatɔ̃, alẽ akpe alafa eve blaatɔ̃, tedzi akpe eve kple ame akpe alafa ɖeka.
22 For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.
Woƒe futɔ geɖewo ku le aʋa la me elabena Mawu tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu. Ale Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ Hagritɔwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe anyigba dzi va se ɖe esime woɖe aboyo wo.
23 The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.
Manase ƒe to ƒe afã kaka ɖe anyigba si tso Basan yi Baal Hermon, Senir kple Hermon to la ŋu. Woawo hã sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ.
24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.
Woƒe hlɔ̃wo ƒe fiawoe nye Efer, Isi, Eliel, Azriel, Yeremia, Hodavia kple Yahdiel. Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe xɔ ŋkɔ abe aʋawɔla kple kplɔla ene.
25 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.
Ke womesubɔ wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la o, ke boŋ wosubɔ ame siwo Mawu tsrɔ̃ la ƒe legbawo.
26 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.
Esia ta Israel ƒe Mawu na Asiria fia Pul (ame si wogayɔna be Fia Tilgat Pilneser Etɔ̃lia la), ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu eye wòɖe aboyo Ruben ƒe viwo, Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe hlɔ̃ afã me tɔwo. Wokplɔ wo yi Hala, Habor, Hara kple Gozan tɔsisi la to, afi si wole va se ɖe egbe.
