< Chronicles I 5 >

1 And the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel (for he [was] the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;
Ribeni azalaki mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isalaele. Kasi lokola asangisaki nzoto na mwasi moko kati na basi ya tata na ye, makoki ya bomwana na ye ya liboso epesamaki epai ya bana mibali ya Jozefi, mwana mobali ya Isalaele. Yango wana bazalaki kotanga ye lisusu te lokola mwana ya liboso. Nzokande, Jozefi akomamaki te na buku ya mabota lokola mwana ya liboso.
2 for Judas [was] very mighty even amongst his brethren, and one was to be a ruler out of him: but the blessing [was] Joseph's).
Yuda alekaki bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali na makasi, mpe moto oyo akomaki mokonzi abimaki na nzela na ye. Kasi atako bongo, makoki ya bomwana ya liboso epesamaki kaka epai ya Jozefi.
3 The sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi.
Tala bana mibali ya Ribeni, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isalaele: Enoki, Palu, Etsironi mpe Karimi.
4 The sons of Joel; Semei, and Banaia his son: and the sons of Gug the son of Semei.
Bakitani ya Joeli: Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Gogi, mwana mobali ya Shemaya; Shimei, mwana mobali ya Gogi;
5 His son [was] Micha, his son Recha, his son Joel,
Mishe, mwana mobali ya Shimei; Reaya, mwana mobali ya Mishe; Bala, mwana mobali ya Reaya;
6 his son Beel, whom Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria carried away captive: he [is] the chief of the Rubenites.
Beera, mwana mobali ya Bala mpe mokambi ya bato ya Ribeni, oyo Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, amemaki na bowumbu.
7 And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia.
Tala bandeko ya Beera kolanda etuka na bango ndenge bakomami na molongo ya botata na bango: mokambi Yeyeli, Zakari;
8 And Balec the son of Azuz, the son of Sama, the son of Joel: he lived in Aroer, and even to Naban, and Beelmasson.
Bela, mwana mobali ya Azazi, koko ya Shema, mwana mobali ya Joeli. Bazalaki kovanda na mboka Aroeri mpe na etuka oyo ekenda kino na ngomba Nebo mpe na Bala-Meoni.
9 And he lived eastward to the borders of the wilderness, from the river Euphrates: for they had much cattle in the land of Galaad.
Bavandaki na ngambo ya este, longwa na mondelo ya esobe kino na ebale Efrate, pamba te bangombe na bango ekomaki ebele kati na mokili ya Galadi.
10 And in the days of Saul they made war upon the sojourners [in the land]; and they fell into their hands, all of them dwelling in their tents eastward of Galaad.
Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, babundisaki bato ya Agari mpe balongaki bango. Bavandaki na bandako na bango ya kapo oyo ezalaki na etuka mobimba ya ngambo ya Galadi.
11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela.
Bakitani ya Gadi bazalaki kovanda pembeni ya bakitani ya Ribeni, na mokili ya Bashani kino na Salika.
12 Joel the firstborn, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan.
Etuka ya Joeli nde elekaki monene, elandamaki na etuka ya Shafami, mpe bituka ya Yaenayi mpe Shafati esukisaki, kati na Bashani.
13 And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven.
Bandeko na bango ya mibali kolanda mabota na bango bazalaki: Mikaeli, Meshulami, Sheba, Yorayi, Yaekani, Ziya mpe Eberi. Bango nyonso bazalaki sambo.
14 These [are] the sons of Abichaia the son of Uri, the son of Idai, the son of Galaad, the son of Michael, the son of Jesai, the son of Jeddai, the son of Buz,
Bazalaki bana ya Abiyaili, mwana mobali ya Uri, mwana mobali ya Yaroa, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali Mikaeli, mwana mobali ya Yeshishai, mwana mobali ya Yado, mwana mobali ya Buzi.
15 [who was] the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, [he was] chief of the house of their families.
Ayi, mwana mobali ya Abidieli, mwana mobali ya Guni, azalaki mokambi ya bituka na bango.
16 They lived in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and [in] all the country round about Saron to the border.
Bango nyonso bazalaki kovanda na Galadi, na Bashani, na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga mpe na bilanga nyonso ya Saroni kino na suka na yango.
17 The enumeration of [them] all took place in the days of Joatham king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Batangaki bato nyonso oyo tango Yotami azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda mpe Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
18 The sons of Ruben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasse, of mighty men, bearing shields and sword, and bending the bow, and skilled in war, [were] forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going forth to battle.
Bakitani ya mabota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase bazalaki bango nyonso nkoto tuku minei na minei na nkama sambo na tuku motoba. Babongamaki mpo na mosala ya soda. Bazalaki bilombe mibali oyo bayebi kosalela nguba, mopanga, tolotolo; mpe bamilengela mpo na bitumba.
19 And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans,
Babundisaki bato ya Agari, ya Yeturi, ya Nafishi mpe ya Nodabi.
20 and they prevailed against them: and the Agaraeans were given into their hands, [they] and all their tents: for they cried to God in the battle, and he listened to them, because they trusted on him.
Nzambe asungaki bango mpe apesaki bango elonga likolo ya bato ya Agari mpe baninga na bango nyonso oyo bayaki kosunga bango, pamba te babelelaki Yawe na tango ya bitumba. Yawe ayanolaki bango, pamba te batielaki Ye motema.
21 And they took captive their store; five thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
Bazwaki bibwele ya bato ya Agari: bashamo nkoto tuku mitano, bameme nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mitano, mpe ba-ane nkoto mibale. Bazwaki mpe bakangami nkoto nkama moko:
22 For many fell slain, because the war [was] of God. And they lived in their place until the captivity.
mingi bakufaki, pamba te bitumba ezalaki na maboko ya Nzambe. Bavandaki na mokili yango kino na tango ya bowumbu.
23 And the half-tribe of Manasse lived from Basan to Baal, Ermon, and Sanir, and [to] the mount Aermon: and they increased in Libanus.
Bakitani ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase bavandaki na mokili oyo ezalaki longwa na Bashani kino na Bala-Erimoni, Seniri mpe ngomba Erimoni.
24 And these were the heads of the houses of their families; Opher, and Sei, and Eliel, and Jeremia, and Oduia, and Jediel, mighty men of valour, men of renown, heads of the houses of their families.
Tala bakambi ya bituka na bango: Eferi, Yisheyi, Elieli, Azirieli, Jeremi, Odavia mpe Yadiele. Bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba, bato bayebana mpe bakambi ya mabota na bango.
25 But they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and went a-whoring after the gods of the nations of the land, whom God cast out from before them.
Kasi lokola batosaki te Nzambe ya bakoko na bango mpe bakomaki kosalela banzambe ya bato ya mokili oyo Nzambe abebisaki liboso na bango.
26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phaloch king of Assyria, and the spirit of Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria, and carried away Ruben and Gaddi, and the half-tribe of Manasse, and brought them to Chaach, and Chabor, and to the river Gozan, until this day.
Yango wana Nzambe ya Isalaele alamusaki molimo ya Puli, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe molimo ya Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na komema na bowumbu: bato ya libota ya Ribeni, ya libota ya Gadi mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase. Amemaki bango na Ala, na Abori, na Ara mpe na ngambo ya ebale Gozani, epai wapi bazali kovanda kino lelo.
