1 Chronicles 5
1 And the sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, (for he was the oldest son, but, because he made his father's bride-bed unclean, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel; but he is not to be given the place of the oldest.
Na Israel babarima panin ne Ruben. Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ wammu nʼagya, na ɔne nʼagya mpenafoɔ no mu baako kɔdaeɛ no enti, ɔde nʼabakanyɛ maa ne nua Yosef mmammarima. Esiane saa asɛm yi enti, wɔamfa Ruben din anka abusuadua no ho sɛ abakan.
2 Though Judah became stronger than his brothers, and from him came the ruler, the birthright was Joseph's: )
Yuda asefoɔ na wɔyɛɛ abusuakuo a wɔwɔ tumi pa ara, ne saa enti wɔyii ɔman no sodifoɔ firi wɔn mu, nanso, mpaninnie no deɛ, na ɛyɛ Yosef dea.
3 The sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
Israel abakan Ruben no mmammarima ne: Hanok, Palu, Hesron ne Karmi.
4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Yoɛl asefoɔ ne Semaia, Gog, Simei,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Mika, Reaia, Baal,
6 Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, took away as a prisoner: he was chief of the Reubenites.

7 And his brothers by their families, when the list of their generations was made up: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
Wɔatwerɛ Beera nkurɔfoɔ din sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne abusua no teɛ: Yeiel ne wɔn ntuanoni, ɛnna Sakaria
8 And Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who was living in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon;
ne Asas babarima Bela a ɔyɛ Sema babarima a ɔyɛ Yoɛl babarima. Saa Rubenfoɔ yi tenaa beaeɛ a ɛfiri Aroer de kɔsi Nebo ne Baal-Meon.
9 And to the east his limits went as far as the starting point of the waste land, ending at the river Euphrates, because their cattle were increased in number in the land of Gilead.
Esiane sɛ na wɔwɔ anantwie bebree wɔ Gilead asase so no enti, wɔdidi kɔɔ apueeɛ fam wɔ anweatam a ɛtrɛ kɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate no ho.
10 And in the days of Saul they made war on the Hagarites, and overcame them; and they put up their tents through all the land east of Gilead.
Ɔhene Saulo pɛn so, Rubenfoɔ dii Hagarfoɔ so nkonim wɔ ɔko mu. Enti, wɔtu kɔɔ Hagarfoɔ atenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Gilead apueeɛ fam hɔ no.
11 And the sons of Gad were living opposite to them, in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:
Basan asase so no, na Gad asefoɔ na wɔtete asase a ɛdi Rubenfoɔ deɛ no so. Wɔtrɛ kɔɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsii Saleka.
12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai and Shaphat in Bashan;
Na Yoɛl na ɔtua wɔn ano wɔ Basan asase so. Na Safam, Yanai ne Safat yɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
13 And their brothers, the men of their family: Michael and Meshullam and Sheba and Jorai and Jacan and Zia and Eber, seven of them.
Na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ ntuanofoɔ ma mmusua afoforɔ nson din ne: Mikael, Mesulam, Seba, Yorai, Yakan, Sia ne 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;
Yeinom nyinaa yɛ Huri babarima Abihail a ɔyɛ Yaroa babarima, Gilead babarima, Mikael babarima, Yesisai babarima Yahdo babarima, Bus babarima.
15 Ahi, the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, head of their families.
Abdiel babarima Ahi, Guni babarima no na na ɔyɛ wɔn mmusua no ntuanoni.
16 And they were living in Gilead in Bashan, in its small towns and in all the grass-land of Sirion as far as its limits.
Gadfoɔ no tenaa Gilead asase a ɛwɔ Basan ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Saron tata no nyinaa so.
17 All these were listed under the names of their families, in the time of Jotham, king of Judah, and in the time of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
Yudahene Yotam ne Israelhene Yeroboam ɛberɛ so na wɔtwerɛɛ yeinom nyinaa guu abusuadua nkrataa mu.
18 There were forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty of the sons of Reuben and of the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, all strong men, expert in the use of the body-cover, the sword, and the bow, and in the art of war, all able to take up arms.
Na akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ Ruben, Gad mmusua ne Manase abusua fa mu no ano si ɔpeduanan ɛnan ahanson ne aduosia. Wɔkurakura akokyɛm, akofena ne agyan, na wɔn nyinaa akwadare wɔ akodie mu.
19 And they went to war against the Hagarites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.
Wɔko tiaa Hagarfoɔ, Yeturfoɔ, Nafisfoɔ ne Nodabfoɔ.
20 And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.
Wɔsu frɛɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔko no mu, na ɔtiee wɔn mpaeɛbɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn ho too no so. Enti, wɔdii Hagarfoɔ no ne wɔn dɔm nyinaa so nkonim.
21 And they took away their cattle: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
Asadeɛ a wɔfa firii Hagarfoɔ no nkyɛn no yɛ nyoma ɔpeduonum, nnwan ɔpehanu aduonum, mfunumu mpenu ne nneduafoɔ ɔpeha.
22 And a very great number went to their death, because the war was God's purpose. And they went on living in their place till they were taken away as prisoners.
Wɔkunkumm Hagarfoɔ no bebree ɔko no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn reko tia wɔn. Enti, wɔtenaa wɔn asase so, kɔsii sɛ wɔtwaa wɔn asuo.
23 And the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh were living in the land: and their numbers were increased till all the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon and Senir and the mountain Hermon was theirs.
Manase abusua fa no trɛɛ wɔ asase no so firi Basan kɔsii Baal-Hermon, Senir ne bepɔ Hermon ho. Na wɔdɔɔso yie.
24 And these were the heads of their families: Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, men of war, of great name, heads of families.
Yeinom ne wɔn mmusua no ntuanofoɔ: Efer, Yisi, Eliel, Asriel, Yeremia, Hodawia ne Yahdiel. Na wɔn mu biara agye edin sɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ ne ɔkandifoɔ.
25 And they did evil against the God of their fathers, worshipping the gods of the people of the land, whom God had put to destruction before them.
Nanso, na wɔnni nokorɛ, na wɔbuu wɔn agyanom ne Onyankopɔn apam no so. Wɔsomm aman a Onyankopɔn sɛee wɔn no anyame.
26 And the God of Israel put an impulse into the heart of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, who took them away as prisoners, all the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
Enti, Israel Onyankopɔn de hyɛɛ Asiriahene Pul (a na wɔsane frɛ no Tiglat-Pileser) akoma mu sɛ ɔnko mfa asase no, na ɔnkyekyere Rubenfoɔ, Gadfoɔ ne Manasefoɔ abusua fa sɛ nneduafoɔ. Asiariafoɔ no twaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Halah, Habor, Hara ne Asubɔnten Gosan ho a wɔda so te hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
