1 Chronicles 5
1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. (Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because he had defiled his father's bed. That is why Reuben is not listed in the genealogy according to birthright,
Ruben adalah anak sulung Yakub. Tetapi karena Ruben telah menodai kehormatan salah seorang selir ayahnya, maka haknya sebagai anak sulung dicabut dan diberikan kepada Yusuf. Meskipun begitu yang terkuat dari antara keturunan Yakub bukan suku Yusuf melainkan suku Yehuda. Bahkan yang pertama-tama menjadi raja seluruh umat Israel adalah dari suku Yehuda itu.
2 and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)
3 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Ruben anak sulung Yakub, mempunyai empat anak laki-laki: Henokh, Palu, Hezron dan Karmi.

8 and Bela of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. They lived from Aroer to Nebo and Baal Meon.
dan Bela anak Azas, cucu Sema dari kaum Yoel. Suku Ruben tinggal di Aroer dan di wilayah yang mulai dari Aroer ke arah utara sampai ke Nebo dan Baal-Meon.
9 On the eastern side they expanded into the land right up to the edge of the desert that continues to the Euphrates River, because their flocks had grown so big in Gilead.
Mereka mempunyai banyak sekali ternak di daerah Gilead. Karena itu, mereka menempati wilayah sebelah timur sampai ke padang gurun yang terbentang sejauh Sungai Efrat.
10 In the time of Saul they went to war against the Hagrites, defeating them. They took over the places where the Hagrites had lived in all the regions east of Gilead.
Pada zaman Raja Saul, suku Ruben menyerang dan mengalahkan orang Hagri di sebelah timur Gilead, lalu menduduki negeri itu.
11 Next to them the descendants of Gad lived in Basha, all the way to Salecah.
Di sebelah utara wilayah suku Ruben tinggal suku Gad di tanah Basan sampai sejauh Salkha di sebelah timur.
12 Joel (chief), Shapham (second), and Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
Dari suku Gad itu Yoel adalah leluhur kaum yang terkemuka, dan Safam adalah leluhur kaum nomor dua. Yaenai dan Safat adalah leluhur kaum-kaum lainnya di Basan.
13 Their relatives, according to family, were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—a total of seven.
Orang-orang lain dalam suku Gad termasuk dalam tujuh kaum yang berikut ini: Mikhael, Mesulam, Syeba, Yorai, Yakan, Ziya dan Eber.
14 These were the sons of Abihail, son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.

15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was their family chief.
Kepala kaum-kaum itu adalah Ahi anak Abdiel, cucu Guni.
16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon all the way to their borders.
Mereka tinggal di wilayah Basan dan Gilead, dan kota-kota di wilayah itu serta di seluruh padang rumput di Saron.
17 They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
Silsilah ini dibuat pada zaman Yotam raja Yehuda, dan Yerobeam raja Israel.
18 The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 battle-ready strong warriors capable of using shields and swords and bows.
Di dalam suku Ruben, Gad dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Yordan ada 44.760 prajurit yang terlatih dan berpengalaman dalam menggunakan perisai, pedang dan busur.
19 They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
Mereka berperang melawan suku Yetur, Nafis dan Nodab, yaitu suku-suku di dalam bangsa Hagri.
20 They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
Prajurit-prajurit itu percaya kepada Allah dan minta tolong kepada-Nya, maka Allah mengabulkan permintaan mereka dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka atas orang-orang Hagri itu dan sekutu mereka.
21 They captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
Karena peperangan itu terjadi atas kehendak Allah, maka banyak musuh yang mereka bunuh. Mereka juga menawan 100.000 orang, dan merampas 50.000 unta, 250.000 domba dan 2.000 keledai. Setelah itu mereka menetap di daerah itu sampai pada masa bangsa Israel ditawan dan dibawa ke pembuangan.
22 and many others were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there until the exile.
23 The half-tribe of Manasseh had grown very large. They lived in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, (otherwise known as Senir and Mount Hermon).
Sebagian suku Manasye tinggal di wilayah Basan sampai ke utara sejauh Baal-Hermon, Senir dan Gunung Hermon. Mereka makin lama makin banyak.
24 These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of their families.
Inilah kepala-kepala kaum mereka: Hefer, Yisei, Eliel, Azriel, Yeremia, Hodawya dan Yahdiel. Mereka semua adalah prajurit-prajurit yang perkasa.
25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that God had destroyed before them.
Orang Israel tidak setia kepada Allah yang disembah leluhur mereka. Mereka meninggalkan Dia dan beribadat kepada dewa-dewa bangsa-bangsa yang telah diusir oleh Allah dari negeri Kanaan.
26 So the God of Israel encouraged of Pul, king of Assyria, (otherwise known as Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), to invade the land. He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
Karena itu Allah menggerakkan hati Pul raja Asyur, maka pergilah ia menyerbu negeri itu. Pul juga dikenal sebagai Tiglat-Pileser. Lalu suku Ruben, Gad dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Yordan diangkutnya sebagai tawanan dan dibuang ke Halah, Habor, Hara dan ke suatu tempat dekat Sungai Gozan. Di sana mereka tinggal dan menetap sampai hari ini.
