< 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.
Wana wa Rubeni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli - sasa Rubeni alikuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, lakini haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza ilipewa kwa wana wa Yusufu mwana wa Israeli kwa sababu Rubeni alinajisi kochi la baba yake. Hivyo hajanakiliwa kama mwana wa kwanza.
2 And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
Yuda alikuwa mwenye nguvu kuliko kaka zake, na kiongozi ata toka kwake. Lakini haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza ilikuwa ya Yusufu -
3 The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
wana wa Rubeni, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli alikuwa Hanoki, Palu, Hezroni, na Karmi.
4 The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Uzao wa Yoeli ulikuwa huu: Mwana wa Yoeli alikuwa Shemaia. Mwana wa Shemaia alikuwa Gogi. Mwana wa Gogi alikuwa Shimei.
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Mwana wa Shimei alikuwa Mika. Mwana wa Mika alikuwa Reaia. Mwana wa Reaia alikuwa Baali.
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
Mwana wa Baali alikuwa Bera, ambaye Tiligathi Pileseri alimpeleka matekani kule Assiria. Bera alikuwa kiongozi katika kabila la Rubeni.
7 His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
Ndugu wa Bera kwa makabila yao ni hawa wafuatao, wameorodheshwa katika nakala za uzao wao: Yeieli wa kwanza, Zekaria, na
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.
Bela mwana wa Azazi mwana wa Shema mwana wa Yoeli. Waliishi Aroeri, kwa umbali wa Nebo na Baali 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.
na mwanzo wa mashariki mwa jangwa lenye umbali wa hadi Mto Efarati. Hii ni kwa sababu walikuwa na mifugo mingi katika nchi ya Gileadi.
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.
Katika siku za Sauli, kabila la Rubeni lilishambulia Wahagiri na kuwa shinda. Wakaishi ndani ya hema za Wahagiri katika nchi yote mashariki mwa Gileadi.
11 The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
Kabila la Gadi liliishi karibu nao, katika nchi ya Bashani umbali wa Saleka.
12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
Viongozi wao walikuwa Yoeli, aliyekuwa kichwa wa ukoo, na Shafamu alikuwa kichwa wa ukoo mwingine, na Yanai na Shafati walikuwa wa Bashani.
13 Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
Ndugu zao, kwa familia za baba yao, walikuwa Mikaeli, Meshulamu, Sheba, Yorai, Yakani, na Eberi - jumla saba wote.
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.
Hawa watu walio tajwa hapo juu ni uzao wa Abihaili, na Abihaili alikuwa mwana wa Huri. Huri alikuwa mwana w a Yaroa. Yaroa alikuwa mwana wa Gileadi. Gileadi alikuwa mwana wa Mikaeli. Mikaeli alikuwa mwana wa Yeshishai. Yeshishai alikuwa mwana wa Yado. Yado alikuwa mwana wa Buzi.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
Waliishi Gileadi, Bashani, katika miji, na katika nchi zote za malisho ya Sharoni kwa umbali wa mipaka yake.
17 All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
Hawa wote waliorodheshwa katika nakaka za uzao katika siku za Yothamu mfalme wa Yuda na Yeroboamu mfalme wa 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.
Warubeni, Wagadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase walikuwa na wana jeshi elfu arobaini na nne walio fuzu kwa vita, walio beba ngao na upanga, na pinde na mishale.
19 They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
Waliwashambulia Wahagri, Yeturi, Nafishi, na 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.
Walipokea msaada wa Kimungu dhidi yao. Katika hili Wahagri na wote walio kuwa nao walishindwa. Hii ni kwa sababu Waisraeli walipaza sauti katika vita, na yeye akawajibu, kwa sababu waliweka tumaini lao kwake.
21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
Walikamata wanya wao, pamoja na ngamia elfu hamsini, kondoo 250, 000, punda elfu mbili, na wanaume 100, 000.
22 and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
Kwa sababu Mungu aliwapigania, waliua maadui wengi. Waliishi katika nchi yao mpaka mateka.
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).
Baadhi ya watu wa kabila la Manase waliishi katika nchi ya Bashani kwa umbali wa Hermoni na Seniri (hiyo ni, Mlima Hermoni).
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.
Hawa walikuwa viongozi wa familia zao: Eferi, Ishi, Elieli, Azrieli, Yeremia, Hodavia, na Yahdieli. Walikuwa wenye nguvu na wanaume wa jasiri, wanaume maharufu, viongozi wa familia zao.
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.
Lakini walikuwa sio wa aminifu kwa Mungu wa babu zao. Badala yake, waliabudu miungu ya watu waio nchi, ambao Mungu aliwaangamiza mbele yao.
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.
Mungu wa Israeli alimchochea Puli mfalme wa Assiria ( ambaye pia uitwa Tiligathi Pileseri, mfalme wa Assiria). Aliwa peleka matekani Warubeni, Wagadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase. Aliwaleta kwa Hala, Habori, Hara, na kwenye mto wa Gozani, ambapo wapo adi leo.
