1 Chronicles 5
1 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.
Ana a Rubeni mwana woyamba wa Israeli (iye anali woyamba kubadwa, koma atagona ndi mkazi wamngʼono wa abambo ake, ulemu wake wokhala mwana woyamba unaperekedwa kwa ana a Yosefe. Kotero iye sanalembedwe pa mndandanda wa mayina ngati mwana woyamba kubadwa,
2 And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
ndipo ngakhalenso Yuda anali wamphamvu kwambiri pakati pa abale ake, ndi kuti wolamulira anachokera mwa iye, ulemu wa mwana woyamba kubadwa unaperekedwa kwa Yosefe)
3 The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
ana a Rubeni mwana woyamba wa Israeli ndi awa: Hanoki, Palu, Hezironi, ndi Karimi.
4 The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Ana a Yoweli anali awa: Semaya, Gogi, Simei,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Mika, Reaya, Baala,
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
ndiponso Beeri, amene Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya Asuri anamugwira ukapolo. Mtsogoleri wa fuko la Rubeni anali Beeri.
7 His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
Abale awo mwa mabanja awo, potsata mndandanda wa mʼbado wawo, ndi awa: Yeiyeli, mtsogoleri, Zekariya,
8 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.
ndiponso Bela mwana wa Azazi, mwana wa Sema, mwana wa Yoweli. Iwo ankakhala ku Aroeri mpaka ku Nebo ndi Baala-Meoni.
9 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.
Iwo anakhala cha kummawa mpaka kukafika polowera mʼchipululu cha mbali ina ya Mtsinje wa Yufurate, chifukwa ziweto zawo zinaswana kwambiri mʼdziko la Giliyadi.
10 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.
Pa nthawi ya Sauli anachita nkhondo ndi Ahagiri ndi kuwagonjetsa. Tsono iwo anakhala mʼmatenti a Ahagiri ku dera lonse la kummawa kwa Giliyadi.
11 The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
Anthu a fuko la Gadi anakhala moyandikana ndi fuko la Rubeni ku Basani mpaka ku Saleka:
12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
Mtsogoleri wawo ku Basani anali Yoweli, wachiwiri anali Safamu, kenaka Yanayi ndi Safati.
13 Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
Abale awo mwa mabanja awo anali awa: Mikayeli, Mesulamu, Seba, Yorayi, Yakani, Ziya ndi Eberi, onse ali asanu ndi awiri.
14 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.
Amenewa ndiwo anali ana a Abihaili, mwana wa Huri, mwana wa Yarowa, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Mikayeli, mwana wa Yesisayi, mwana wa Yahido, mwana wa Buzi.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
Ahi mwana wa Abdieli, mwana wa Guni, anali mtsogoleri wa banja la makolo awo.
16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
Fuko la Gadi linakhala ku Giliyadi, ku Basani ndi midzi yozugulira, madera onse a msipu a ku Saroni mpaka kumene amalekezera.
17 All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
Mayina onsewa analembedwa potsata mndandanda wa mibado yawo pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yotamu mfumu ya Yuda ndi Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli.
18 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.
Mafuko a Rubeni, Gadi ndi theka la Manase, anali ndi anthu 44, 760 okonzeka kulowa usilikali; anthu amatupi amphamvu, amene amatha kugwiritsa ntchito chishango ndi lupanga, amene amatha kugwiritsa ntchito uta, amene anaphunzitsidwa kumenya nkhondo.
19 They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
Iwo anachita nkhondo ndi Ahagiri, Yeturi, Nafisi ndi Nodabu.
20 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.
Iwowo anathandizidwa polimbana nawo ndipo Mulungu anapereka Ahagiri mʼmanja mwawo; popeza iwo anafuwulira kwa Mulungu pa nkhondopo. Iye anayankha mapemphero awo chifukwa anamudalira.
21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
Choncho iwo analanda ziweto za Ahagiri: ngamira 50,000, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 250,000 ndi abulu 2,000. Ndiponso anagwira akapolo 100,000,
22 and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
enanso ambiri anaphedwa, chifukwa nkhondoyo inali ya Mulungu. Ndipo iwo anakhala mʼdzikomo mpaka pa nthawi ya ukapolo.
23 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).
Theka la fuko la Manase linkakhala ku dziko la kummawa kuyambira ku Basani mpaka ku Baala-Herimoni, kumene ndi ku Seniri (Phiri la Herimoni) ndipo anthuwo anali ochuluka kwambiri.
24 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.
Atsogoleri a mabanja awo anali awa: Eferi, Isi, Elieli, Azirieli, Yeremiya, Hodaviya ndi Yahidieli. Iwo anali asilikali olimba mtima, anthu otchuka, ndiponso atsogoleri a mabanja awo.
25 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.
Koma iwo anali osakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wa makolo awo ndipo anadzipereka okha kwa milungu ya anthu okhala mʼdzikomo amene Mulungu anawawononga pamene iwowo ankafika.
26 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.
Kotero Mulungu wa Israeli anayika mkwiyo mwa Puli mfumu ya Asuri (ameneyu ndi Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya Asuri) amene anatenga fuko la Rubeni, Gadi ndi theka la fuko la Manase kupita nawo ku ukapolo. Iye anapita nawo ku Hala, Habori, Hara ndi ku mtsinje wa Gozani, kumene ali mpaka lero lino.
