< 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;
Na, ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko ia hoki te matamua; heoi, i te mea i whakapokea e ia te moenga o tona papa, ka hotau tona matamuatanga ki nga tama a Hohepa, tama a Iharaira; na e kore te whakapapa e timata i te matamua.
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).
I nui ake hoki a Hura i ona tuakana, teina, he uri hoki nona te tino rangatira: otiia i a Hohepa te matamuatanga:
3 The sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi.
Ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko Enoka, ko Paru, ko Heterono, ko Karami.
4 The sons of Joel; Semei, and Banaia his son: and the sons of Gug the son of Semei.
Ko nga tama a Hoera; ko tana tama ko Hemaia, ko tana tama ko Koko, ko tana tama ko Himei;
5 His son [was] Micha, his son Recha, his son Joel,
Ko tana tama ko Mika; ko tana tama ko Reaia; ko tana tama ko Paara;
6 his son Beel, whom Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria carried away captive: he [is] the chief of the Rubenites.
Ko tana tama ko Peeraha, ko tera i riro parau ra i a Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria; he rangatira ia no nga Reupeni.
7 And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia.
Na, ko ona teina me o ratou hapu, ki te whakapapatia o ratou whakatupuranga; ko nga tino rangatira ko Teiere, ko Hakaraia,
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.
Ko Pera tama a Atata, tama a Hema, tama a Hoera, i noho nei ki Aroere a tae noa ki Nepo, ki Paarameono;
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.
I nohoia ano e ia te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te koraha e takoto mai ana i te awa i Uparati: no te mea i nui haere a ratou kararehe ki te whenua o Kireara.
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 i nga ra o Haora ka whawhaitia e ratou nga Hakari, hinga iho i o ratou ringa; noho ana ratou ki o ratou teneti i te whenua katoa o Kireara ki te rawhiti.
11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela.
Na ko nga tama a Kara i noho i te ritenga mai o to ratou i te whenua o Pahana tae noa ki Hareka:
12 Joel the firstborn, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan.
Ko Hoera te upoko, muri iho ko Hapana, ko Taanai, ko Hapata i Pahana.
13 And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven.
Na, ko o ratou teina o nga whare o o ratou matua: ko Mikaera, ko Mehurama, ko Hepa, ko Torai, ko Takana, ko Tia, ko Epere, tokowhitu.
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,
Ko nga tama enei a Apihaira tama a Huri, tama a Taroa, tama a Kireara, tama a Mikaera, tama a Tehihai, tama a Taharo, tama a Putu;
15 [who was] the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, [he was] chief of the house of their families.
Ko Ahi tama a Apariere, tama a Kuni; ko te upoko ia o nga whare o o ratou matua.
16 They lived in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and [in] all the country round about Saron to the border.
A noho ana ratou ki Kireara o Pahana, ki ona pa ririki, ki nga taha ano o Harono, ki o ratou taha ki waho.
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.
He mea whakapapa enei katoa i nga ra o Iotama kingi o Hura, i nga ra ano o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira.
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.
Ko nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga Kari, ko tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, no te hunga toa, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te hoari, he hunga kopere i te kopere, e mahio ana hoki ki te whawhai, e wha tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau e ono tekau taua hunga i ahei te haere ki te whawhai.
19 And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans,
I whawhai hoki ratou ki nga Hakari, ki Ieturu, ki Napihi, ki Norapa.
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.
I awhinatia ano ratou ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a ka homai nga Hakari ki o ratou ringa, ratou ko o ratou hoa katoa: i karanga hoki ratou ki te Atua i te whawhaitanga, a tahuri ana ia ki a ratou; mo ratou i whakawhirinaki ki a ia.
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.
I riro ano hoki i a ratou a ratou kararehe; o a ratou kamera e rima tekau mano, o nga hipi e rua rau e rima tekau mano, o nga kaihe e rua mano, o nga tangata kotahi rau mano.
22 For many fell slain, because the war [was] of God. And they lived in their place until the captivity.
He tokomaha hoki i hinga, mate rawa: na te Atua hoki te whawhai; a noho ana ratou ki to ratou wahi a taea noatia te whakaraunga.
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.
I noho ano nga tama a tetahi tanga o he hapu o Manahi ki te whenua; i tini haere ano ratou ki Pahana a tae noa ki Paaraheremona, ki Heniri, ki Maunga Heremona ano.
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.
Na ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua; ara ko Epere, ko Ihi, ko Eriere, ko Atariere, ko Heremaia, ko Horawia, ko Tahariere, he hunga nunui, he marohirohi, he hunga ingoa nui, he upoko ano no nga whare o o ratou matua.
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.
Na kua he ratou ki te Atua o o ratou matua, kua whai, kua puremu ki nga atua o nga iwi o te whenua i huna nei e te Atua i to ratou aroaro.
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.
Na ka whakaohokia e te Atua o Iharaira te wairua o Puru kingi o Ahiria, te wairua hoki o Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria, a whakaraua ana ratou e ia, ara nga Reupeni, nga Kari, me tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, a kawea ana ratou e ia ki Har aha, ki Haporo, ki Hara, ki te awa o Kotana a taea noatia tenei ra.
