1 Chronicles 5

1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he [was] the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

١ وَكَانَ رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ فَقَدَ امْتِيَازَاتِ بَكُورِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي وُهِبَتْ لاِبْنَيْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ عَاشَرَ مَحْظِيَّةَ أَبِيهِ، فَلَمْ يُحْسَبْ بِكْراً.

2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him [came] the chief ruler; but the birthright [was] Joseph’s: )

٢ وَمَعَ أَنَّ يَهُوذَا كَانَ الأَقْوَى بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ تَحَدَّرَ الْمُلُوكُ الَّذِينَ حَكَمُوا، فَإِنَّ الْبَكُورِيَّةَ ظَلَّتْ مِنْ نَصِيبِ يُوسُفَ.

3 The sons, [I say], of Reuben the firstborn of Israel [were], Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

٣ أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهُمْ: حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي.

4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

٤ وَأَنْجَبَ يُوئِيلُ شَمْعِيَا، وَشَمْعِيَا جُوجَ، وَجُوجُ شِمْعِي،

5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

٥ وَشِمْعِي مِيخَا، وَمِيخَا رَآيَا، وَرَآيَا بَعْلَ.

6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away [captive: ] he [was] prince of the Reubenites.

٦ وَأَنْجَبَ بَعْلُ بَئِيرَةَ الَّذِي سَبَاهُ الْمَلِكُ الأَشُورِيُّ تَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرُ. وَكَانَ بَئِيرَةُ رَئِيسَ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, [were] the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

٧ وَفِيمَا يَلِي أَسْمَاءُ زُعَمَاءِ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ بَئِيرَةَ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي سِجِلَّاتِ الأَنْسَابِ: الرُّؤَسَاءُ يَعِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا،

8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:

٨ وَبَالِعُ بْنُ عَزَازَ بْنِ شَامِعَ بْنِ يُوئِيلَ الَّذِي اسْتَوْطَنَ فِي عَرُوعِيرَ وَفِي الأَرَاضِي الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شِمَالاً إِلَى نَبُو وَبَعْلِ مَعُونَ.

9 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

٩ كَمَا اسْتَوْطَنُوا شَرْقاً حَتَّى حُدُودِ الصَّحْرَاءِ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، لأَنَّ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ لَمْ تَعُدْ تَكْفِي مَوَاشِيَهُمُ الَّتِي تَكَاثَرَتْ.

10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east [land] of Gilead.

١٠ وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ مُلْكِ شَاوُلَ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَاحْتَلُّوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ.

11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salchah:

١١ وَأَقَامَتْ ذُرِّيَّةُ جَادٍ شِمَالِيَّ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شَرْقاً حَتَّى سَلْخَةَ.

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

١٢ وَكَانَ يُوئِيلُ الزَّعِيمَ الْمُتَرَئِّسَ وَيَلِيهِ شَافَاطُ، ثُمَّ يَعْنَايُ وَشَافَاطُ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ.

13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers [were], Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

١٣ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِمْ وَفْقاً لاِنْتِسَابِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا يَنْتَمُونَ لِلرُّؤَسَاءِ السَّبْعَةِ مِيخَائِيلَ وَمَشُلّامَ وَشَبَعَ وَيُورَايَ وَيَعْكَانَ وَزِيعَ وَعَابِرَ.

14 These [are] the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

١٤ وَهَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ أَبِيحَايِلَ بْنِ حُورِيَ بْنِ يَارُوحَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مِيخَائِيلَ بْنِ يَشِيشَايَ بْنِ يَحْدُوَ بْنِ بُوزٍ.

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

١٥ وَكَانَ أَخِي بْنُ عَبْدِيئِيلَ بْنِ جُونِي رَئِيسَ هَذِهِ الْعَائِلاتِ.

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

١٦ وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ وَفِي بَاشَانَ وَقُرَاهَا وَأَرَاضِي الْمَرَاعِي التَّابِعَةِ لِشَارُونَ.

17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

١٧ وَقَدْ تَمَّ تَدْوِينُ سِجِلّاتِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَيَرُبْعَامَ الثَّانِي مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, [were] four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

١٨ وَكَانَ فِي سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى أَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ مُجَنَّداً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ بِالتُّرْسِ وَالسَّيْفِ وَرَمْيِ السِّهَامِ.

19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

١٩ وَقَدْ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ (وَعَشَائِرِ) يَطُورَ وَنَافِيشَ وَنُودَابَ،

20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that [were] with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

٢٠ فَانْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَظَفِرُوا بِالْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَحُلَفَائِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَعَانُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي أَثْنَاءِ القِتَالِ وَاتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ.

21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

٢١ وَغَنِمُوا مَاشِيَتَهُمْ، فَنَهَبُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ جَمَلٍ، وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ، وَأَلْفَيْ حِمَارٍ، وَأَخَذُوا مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

22 For there fell down many slain, because the war [was] of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

٢٢ وَقَدْ قُتِلَ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الْمَعْرَكَةَ كَانَتْ مَعْرَكَةَ اللهِ، وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي مَكَانِهِمْ حَتَّى زَمَانِ السَّبْيِ.

23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

٢٣ وَسَكَنَ أَبْنَاءُ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي الأَرْضِ وَانْتَشَرُوا مِنْ بَاشَانَ إِلَى بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ وَسَنِيرَ وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

24 And these [were] the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, [and] heads of the house of their fathers.

٢٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِهِمْ: عَافَرُ وَيَشْعِي وَأَلِيئِيلُ وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيَرْمِيَا وَهُودَوْيَا وَيَحْدِيئِيلُ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ أَشِدَّاءُ ذَاعَ صِيتُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ عَائِلاتِهِمْ.

25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

٢٥ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ وَغَوَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ،

26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

٢٦ فَأَثَارَ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فُولَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ، الْمَعْرُوفَ بِتَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرَ، وَسَبَى سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى وَنَقَلَهُمْ إِلَى حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ وَهَارَا، وَنَهْرِ جُوزَانَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.
