< 1 Chronicles 5 >

1 Now the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was his firstborn: but forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his first birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, and he was not accounted for the firstborn.
Ariũ a Rubeni ũrĩa irigithathi rĩa Isiraeli (nĩwe warĩ irigithathi, no rĩrĩa aathaahirie ũrĩrĩ wa ithe, ũrigithathi wake waheirwo ariũ a Jusufu mũrũ wa Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndangĩandĩkirwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa kũringana na ũrigithathi wake,
2 But of the race of Juda, who was the strongest among his brethren, came the princes: but the first birthright was accounted to Joseph.)
o na gũtuĩka Juda nĩwe warĩ hinya gũkĩra ariũ a ithe, na mũtongoria oimĩte gwake-rĩ, ũrigithathi watuĩkire wa Jusufu);
3 The sons then of Ruben the firstborn of Israel were Enoch, and Phallu, Esron, and Charmi.
ariũ a Rubeni, irigithathi rĩa Isiraeli, maarĩ: Hanoku, na Palu, na Hezironi, na Karimi.

7 And his brethren, and all his kindred, when they were numbered by their families, had for princes Jehiel, and Zacharias.
Andũ ao kũringana na mbarĩ ciao, mandĩkĩtwo kũringana na maandĩko ma njiarwa ciao maarĩ aya: Jeieli ũrĩa mũnene, na Zekaria,
8 And Bala the son of Azaz, the son of Samma, the son of Joel, dwelt in Aroer as far as Nebo, and Beelmeon.

9 And eastward he had his habitation as far as the entrance of the desert, and the river Euphrates. For they possessed a great number of cattle in the land of Galaad.
Maikarire bũrũri mwena wa irathĩro nginya rũteere-inĩ rwa werũ ũrĩa ũtambũrũkĩte nginya Rũũĩ rwa Farati, tondũ mahiũ mao nĩmaingĩhire mũno marĩ kũu Gileadi.
10 And in the days of Saul they fought against the Agarites, and slew them, and dwelt in their tents in their stead, in all the country, that looketh to the east of Galaad.
Hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Saũlũ nĩmarũire na Ahagari, na makĩmahoota; nao makĩĩnyiitĩra ciikaro cia Ahagari acio rũgongo-inĩ ruothe rwa mwena wa irathĩro wa Gileadi.
11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Basan, as far as Selcha:
Nao andũ a Gadi maatũũire mariganĩtie na andũ a Rubeni kũu bũrũri wa Bashani, o nginya Saleka:
12 Johel the chief, and Saphan the second: and Janai, and Saphat in Basan.
Joeli nĩwe warĩ mũnene kũu Bashani, mũnini wake aarĩ Shafamu, akarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ Janai, na Shafati.
13 And their brethren according to the houses of their kindreds, were Michael, and Mosollam, and Sebe, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zie, and Heber, seven.
Andũ ao kũringana na nyũmba ciao maarĩ: Mikaeli, na Meshulamu, na Sheba, na Jorai, na Jakani, na Zia, na Eberi, othe maarĩ andũ mũgwanja.
14 These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Hurl, the son of Jara, the son of Galaad, the son of Michael, the son of Jesisi, the son of Jeddo, the son of But.

15 And their brethren the sons of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house in their families,
Ahi mũrũ wa Abidieli, mũrũ wa Guni nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria wa nyũmba yao.
16 And they dwelt in Galaad, and in Basan and in the towns thereof, and in all the suburbs of Saron, unto the borders.
Nao andũ a Gadi maatũũraga Gileadi, kũu Bashani na matũũra-inĩ marĩa maakuhĩrĩirie kuo, o na kũrĩa guothe ũrĩithio wa Sharoni wakinyĩte.
17 All these were numbered in the days of Joathan king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Ũhoro ũyũ wothe nĩ wandĩkirwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa ciao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jothamu mũthamaki wa Juda na Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli maathamakaga.
18 The sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses, fighting men, bearing shields, and swords, and bending the bow, and trained up to battles, four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore that went out to war.
Andũ a Rubeni, na a Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, maarĩ na andũ 44,760 mehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ: andũ marĩ na hinya wa mwĩrĩ, na mangĩahotire kũhũthĩra ngo, na rũhiũ rwa njora, na mooĩ gũikia mĩguĩ na ũta, na maarutĩtwo kũrũa mbaara.
19 They fought against the Agarites: but the Itureans, and Naphis, and Nodab,
Nao makĩhithũkĩra Ahagari, na Ajeturi, na Anafishi, na Anodabu.
20 Gave them help. And the Agarites were delivered into their hands, and all that were with them, because they called upon God in the battle: and he heard them, because they had put their faith in him.
Nĩmateithirio kũmahũũra, nake Ngai akĩneana Ahagari moko-inĩ mao, marĩ hamwe na arĩa othe maamateithagia, tondũ nĩmamũkaĩire marĩ mbaara-inĩ. Nĩamacookeirie mahooya mao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmamwĩhokete.
21 And they took all that they possessed, of camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men a hundred thousand souls.
Magĩtaha mahiũ ma Ahagari acio: ngamĩĩra 50,000, na ngʼondu 250,000, na ndigiri 2,000, ningĩ nĩmatahire andũ 100,000,
22 And many fell down slain: for it was the battle of the Lord. And they dwelt in their stead till the captivity.
na angĩ aingĩ makĩũragwo, tondũ Ngai nĩwe wamarũagĩrĩra. Nao magĩikara bũrũri ũcio o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maatahirwo rĩngĩ.
23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasses possessed the land, from the borders of Basan unto Baal, Hermon, and Sanir, and mount Hermon, for their number was great.
Andũ a nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase maarĩ aingĩ mũno; maatũũrire bũrũri ũcio kuuma Bashani nginya Baali-Herimoni, ũguo nĩ kuuga nginya Seniru (nĩkĩo Kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni).
24 And these were the heads of the house of their kindred, Epher, and Jesi, and Eliel, and Esriel, and Jeremia, and Odoia, and Jediel, most valiant and powerful men, and famous chiefs in their families.
Aya nĩo maarĩ atongoria a nyũmba ciao: Eferi, na Ishi, na Elieli, na Azirieli, na Jeremia, na Hodavia, na Jahadieli. Maarĩ atongoria a nyũmba ciao, na njamba cia ita, na andũ marĩ igweta.
25 But they forsook the God of their fathers, and went astray after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
No matiarĩ ehokeku harĩ Ngai wa maithe mao, tondũ nĩmeheanĩte kũrĩ ngai cia andũ a bũrũri ũcio, arĩa Ngai aaniinĩte mehere mbere yao.
26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phul king of the Assyrians, and the spirit of Thelgathphalnasar king of Assur: and he carried away Ruben, and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses, and brought them to Lahela, and to Habor, and to Ara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai wa Isiraeli akĩarahũra roho wa Puli mũthamaki wa Ashuri (ũguo nĩ kuuga Tigilathu-Pileseru, mũthamaki wa Ashuri), ũrĩa watahire andũ a Rubeni, na andũ a Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, akĩmatwara ithaamĩrio.
