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.
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 But of the race of Juda, who was the strongest among his brethren, came the princes: but the first birthright was accounted to Joseph.)

3 The sons then of Ruben the firstborn of Israel were Enoch, and Phallu, Esron, and Charmi.
Israel abakan Ruben no mmammarima ne: Hanok, Palu, Hesron ne Karmi.

7 And his brethren, and all his kindred, when they were numbered by their families, had for princes Jehiel, and Zacharias.
Wɔatwerɛ Beera nkurɔfoɔ din sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne abusua no teɛ: Yeiel ne wɔn ntuanoni, ɛnna Sakaria
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.
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 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.
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 children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Basan, as far as Selcha:
Basan asase so no, na Gad asefoɔ na wɔtete asase a ɛdi Rubenfoɔ deɛ no so. Wɔtrɛ kɔɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsii Saleka.
12 Johel the chief, and Saphan the second: and Janai, and Saphat in Basan.
Na Yoɛl na ɔtua wɔn ano wɔ Basan asase so. Na Safam, Yanai ne Safat yɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
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.
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 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.
Yeinom nyinaa yɛ Huri babarima Abihail a ɔyɛ Yaroa babarima, Gilead babarima, Mikael babarima, Yesisai babarima Yahdo babarima, Bus babarima.
15 And their brethren the sons of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house in their families,
Abdiel babarima Ahi, Guni babarima no na na ɔyɛ wɔn mmusua no ntuanoni.
16 And they dwelt in Galaad, and in Basan and in the towns thereof, and in all the suburbs of Saron, unto the borders.
Gadfoɔ no tenaa Gilead asase a ɛwɔ Basan ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Saron tata no nyinaa so.
17 All these were numbered in the days of Joathan king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Yudahene Yotam ne Israelhene Yeroboam ɛberɛ so na wɔtwerɛɛ yeinom nyinaa guu abusuadua nkrataa mu.
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.
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 They fought against the Agarites: but the Itureans, and Naphis, and Nodab,
Wɔko tiaa Hagarfoɔ, Yeturfoɔ, Nafisfoɔ ne Nodabfoɔ.
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.
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 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.
Asadeɛ a wɔfa firii Hagarfoɔ no nkyɛn no yɛ nyoma ɔpeduonum, nnwan ɔpehanu aduonum, mfunumu mpenu ne nneduafoɔ ɔpeha.
22 And many fell down slain: for it was the battle of the Lord. And they dwelt in their stead till the captivity.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
