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;
Vanakomana vaRubheni dangwe raIsraeri. (Ndiye aiva dangwe, asi paakasvibisa nhoo yewaniso yababa vake, kodzero dzoudangwe hwake dzakapiwa kuvanakomana vaJosefa mwanakomana waIsraeri; saka haana kuzoverengerwawo munhoroondo dzamadzitateguru ake maererano nekodzero yokuberekwa kwake.
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).
Uye kunyange zvazvo Judha aiva akasimba kwazvo kupfuura vana vababa vake vose, uye kunyange zvazvo mutongi akazobuda maari, kodzero youdangwe yaiva yaJosefa.)
3 The sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi.
Vanakomana vaRubheni dangwe raIsraeri vaiva: Hanoki, Paru, Hezironi naKarimi.

Mika mwanakomana wake, Reaya mwanakomana wake, naBhaari mwanakomana wake.

7 And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia.

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.
Bhera mwanakomana waAzazi, mwanakomana waShema, mwanakomana waJoere. Vakagara munzvimbo yaibva kuAroeri kusvikira kuNebho neBhaari 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.
Kumabvazuva vakatora nyika kusvikira pamuganhu wegwenga rinosvika kuRwizi Yufuratesi nokuti zvipfuwo zvavo zvakanga zvawanda muGireadhi.
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.
Panguva yokutonga kwaSauro vakarwa navaHagiri vakavakunda vakagara mumatende avaHagiri mudunhu rose rokumabvazuva eGireadhi.
11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela.
VaGadhi vakanga vakavakidzana navo muBhashani kusvikira kuSareka:
12 Joel the firstborn, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan.
Joere ndiye aiva ishe, Shafami ari wechipiri, kuchizotevera Janai naShafati, muBhashani.
13 And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven.
Hama dzavo, tichiverenga mhuri dzavo, dzaiva: Mikaeri, Meshurami, Shebha, Jorai, Jakani, Zia naEbheri, vanomwe pamwe chete.
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,

15 [who was] the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, [he was] chief of the house of their families.
Ahi mwanakomana waAbhidhieri, mwanakomana waGuni, ndiye aiva mukuru wemhuri yavo.
16 They lived in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and [in] all the country round about Saron to the border.
VaGadhi vaigara muGireadhi, muBhashani nomumisha yaro yakaripoteredza, uye nomumafuro ose eSharoni kusvikira kwaanogumira.
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.
Iva vose vakanyorwa munhoroondo dzamadzitateguru avo munguva yokutonga kwaJotamu mambo weJudha naJerobhoamu mambo weIsraeri.
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.
VaRubheni, vaGadhi nehafu yorudzi rwaManase vaiva navarume zviuru makumi mana nezvina namazana manomwe namakumi matanhatu vakanga vakagadzirira kundorwa, varume vakasimba vaigona kushandisa nhoo nomunondo, uye vaigona kushandisa uta, uye vakanga vakadzidziswa kurwa.
19 And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans,
Vakarwa navaHagiri, vaJeturi, vaNafishi navaNodhabhi.
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.
Vakabatsirwa pakurwa navo, uye Mwari akaisa vaHagiri, navose vaiva kurutivi rwavo, mumaoko avo, nokuti vakanga vachema kwaari vari pakurwa. Akapindura minyengetero yavo nokuti vakavimba naye.
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.
Vakapamba zvipfuwo zvavaHagiri zvaiti: zviuru makumi mashanu zvengamera, zviuru mazana maviri ane makumi mashanu zvamakwai nezviuru zviviri zvembongoro. Vakatapawo zviuru zana zvavanhu,
22 For many fell slain, because the war [was] of God. And they lived in their place until the captivity.
uye vamwe vazhinji vakaurayiwa nokuti kurwa uku kwaiva kwaMwari. Uye vakagara munyika iyoyi kusvikira pakutapwa.
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.
Vanhu vehafu yorudzi rwaManase vaiva vazhinji kwazvo vakagara munyika yaibva kuBhashani ichisvika kuBhari Hemoni ndiko kuSeniri (Gomo reHemoni).
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.
Ava ndivo vaiva vakuru vedzimba dzavo: Eferi, Ishi, Erieri, Azireri, Jeremia, Hodhavhia naJadhieri. Ava vaiva varwi vakashinga, varume vembiri uye vari vakuru vedzimba dzavo.
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.
Asi vakanga vasina kutendeka kuna Mwari wamadzibaba avo, vakaita ufeve hwokunamata vamwari vavanhu venyika iyi avo vakanga vaparadzwa naMwari pamberi pavo.
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.
Saka Mwari waIsraeri akamutsa mweya waPuri mambo weAsiria iwo mweya waTigirati-Pireseri mambo weAsiria, akatapa vaRubheni, vaGadhi nehafu yorudzi rwaManase. Akavatora akandovaisa kuHarahi, Habhori, Hara nokurwizi Gozani uko kwavari kusvikira zuva ranhasi.
