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,
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 and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)

7 Beerah's relatives are, listed in their genealogical records by family: Jeiel (chief), Zechariah,
Wɔatwerɛ Beera nkurɔfoɔ din sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne abusua no teɛ: Yeiel ne wɔn ntuanoni, ɛnna Sakaria
8 and Bela of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. They lived from Aroer to Nebo and 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.
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 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.
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 Next to them the descendants of Gad lived in Basha, all the way to Salecah.
Basan asase so no, na Gad asefoɔ na wɔtete asase a ɛdi Rubenfoɔ deɛ no so. Wɔtrɛ kɔɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsii Saleka.
12 Joel (chief), Shapham (second), and Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
Na Yoɛl na ɔtua wɔn ano wɔ Basan asase so. Na Safam, Yanai ne Safat yɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
13 Their relatives, according to family, were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—a total of 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, son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.
Yeinom nyinaa yɛ Huri babarima Abihail a ɔyɛ Yaroa babarima, Gilead babarima, Mikael babarima, Yesisai babarima Yahdo babarima, Bus babarima.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was their family chief.
Abdiel babarima Ahi, Guni babarima no na na ɔyɛ wɔn mmusua no ntuanoni.
16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon all the way to their borders.
Gadfoɔ no tenaa Gilead asase a ɛwɔ Basan ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Saron tata no nyinaa so.
17 They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
Yudahene Yotam ne Israelhene Yeroboam ɛberɛ so na wɔtwerɛɛ yeinom nyinaa guu abusuadua nkrataa mu.
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.
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 went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
Wɔko tiaa Hagarfoɔ, Yeturfoɔ, Nafisfoɔ ne Nodabfoɔ.
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.
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 They captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
Asadeɛ a wɔfa firii Hagarfoɔ no nkyɛn no yɛ nyoma ɔpeduonum, nnwan ɔpehanu aduonum, mfunumu mpenu ne nneduafoɔ ɔpeha.
22 and many others were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there until the exile.
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 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).
Manase abusua fa no trɛɛ wɔ asase no so firi Basan kɔsii Baal-Hermon, Senir ne bepɔ Hermon ho. Na wɔdɔɔso yie.
24 These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of 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 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.
Nanso, na wɔnni nokorɛ, na wɔbuu wɔn agyanom ne Onyankopɔn apam no so. Wɔsomm aman a Onyankopɔn sɛee wɔn no anyame.
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.
Enti, Israel Onyankopɔn de hyɛɛ Asiriahene Pul (a na wɔsane frɛ no Tiglat-Pileser) akoma mu sɛ ɔnko mfa asase no, na ɔnkyekyere Rubenfoɔ, Gadfoɔ ne Manasefoɔ abusua fa sɛ nneduafoɔ. Asiariafoɔ no twaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Halah, Habor, Hara ne Asubɔnten Gosan ho a wɔda so te hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
