1 Chronicles 5
1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and not to be regarded in the genealogy as the firstborn.
Ana a Rubeni mwana woyamba wa Israeli (iye anali woyamba kubadwa, koma atagona ndi mkazi wamngʼono wa abambo ake, ulemu wake wokhala mwana woyamba unaperekedwa kwa ana a Yosefe. Kotero iye sanalembedwe pa mndandanda wa mayina ngati mwana woyamba kubadwa,
2 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and a leader descended from him; but the birthright was Joseph's: )
ndipo ngakhalenso Yuda anali wamphamvu kwambiri pakati pa abale ake, ndi kuti wolamulira anachokera mwa iye, ulemu wa mwana woyamba kubadwa unaperekedwa kwa Yosefe)
3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
ana a Rubeni mwana woyamba wa Israeli ndi awa: Hanoki, Palu, Hezironi, ndi Karimi.
4 The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Ana a Yoweli anali awa: Semaya, Gogi, Simei,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
Mika, Reaya, Baala,
6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was leader of the Reubenites.
ndiponso Beeri, amene Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya Asuri anamugwira ukapolo. Mtsogoleri wa fuko la Rubeni anali Beeri.
7 His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
Abale awo mwa mabanja awo, potsata mndandanda wa mʼbado wawo, ndi awa: Yeiyeli, mtsogoleri, Zekariya,
8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:
ndiponso Bela mwana wa Azazi, mwana wa Sema, mwana wa Yoweli. Iwo ankakhala ku Aroeri mpaka ku Nebo ndi Baala-Meoni.
9 and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Perath, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
Iwo anakhala cha kummawa mpaka kukafika polowera mʼchipululu cha mbali ina ya Mtsinje wa Yufurate, chifukwa ziweto zawo zinaswana kwambiri mʼdziko la Giliyadi.
10 In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.
Pa nthawi ya Sauli anachita nkhondo ndi Ahagiri ndi kuwagonjetsa. Tsono iwo anakhala mʼmatenti a Ahagiri ku dera lonse la kummawa kwa Giliyadi.
11 The descendants of Gad lived across from them, in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah.
Anthu a fuko la Gadi anakhala moyandikana ndi fuko la Rubeni ku Basani mpaka ku Saleka:
12 Joel was chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai judged in Bashan.
Mtsogoleri wawo ku Basani anali Yoweli, wachiwiri anali Safamu, kenaka Yanayi ndi Safati.
13 Their brothers of their fathers' houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
Abale awo mwa mabanja awo anali awa: Mikayeli, Mesulamu, Seba, Yorayi, Yakani, Ziya ndi Eberi, onse ali asanu ndi awiri.
14 These were the sons 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;
Amenewa ndiwo anali ana a Abihaili, mwana wa Huri, mwana wa Yarowa, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Mikayeli, mwana wa Yesisayi, mwana wa Yahido, mwana wa Buzi.
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers' houses.
Ahi mwana wa Abdieli, mwana wa Guni, anali mtsogoleri wa banja la makolo awo.
16 They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.
Fuko la Gadi linakhala ku Giliyadi, ku Basani ndi midzi yozugulira, madera onse a msipu a ku Saroni mpaka kumene amalekezera.
17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Mayina onsewa analembedwa potsata mndandanda wa mibado yawo pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yotamu mfumu ya Yuda ndi Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli.
18 The descendants of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to war.
Mafuko a Rubeni, Gadi ndi theka la Manase, anali ndi anthu 44, 760 okonzeka kulowa usilikali; anthu amatupi amphamvu, amene amatha kugwiritsa ntchito chishango ndi lupanga, amene amatha kugwiritsa ntchito uta, amene anaphunzitsidwa kumenya nkhondo.
19 They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
Iwo anachita nkhondo ndi Ahagiri, Yeturi, Nafisi ndi Nodabu.
20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered their petition, because they put their trust in him.
Iwowo anathandizidwa polimbana nawo ndipo Mulungu anapereka Ahagiri mʼmanja mwawo; popeza iwo anafuwulira kwa Mulungu pa nkhondopo. Iye anayankha mapemphero awo chifukwa anamudalira.
21 They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
Choncho iwo analanda ziweto za Ahagiri: ngamira 50,000, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 250,000 ndi abulu 2,000. Ndiponso anagwira akapolo 100,000,
22 For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.
enanso ambiri anaphedwa, chifukwa nkhondoyo inali ya Mulungu. Ndipo iwo anakhala mʼdzikomo mpaka pa nthawi ya ukapolo.
23 And the descendants of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, and Senir, and Mount Hermon, and in Lebanon.
Theka la fuko la Manase linkakhala ku dziko la kummawa kuyambira ku Basani mpaka ku Baala-Herimoni, kumene ndi ku Seniri (Phiri la Herimoni) ndipo anthuwo anali ochuluka kwambiri.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.
Atsogoleri a mabanja awo anali awa: Eferi, Isi, Elieli, Azirieli, Yeremiya, Hodaviya ndi Yahidieli. Iwo anali asilikali olimba mtima, anthu otchuka, ndiponso atsogoleri a mabanja awo.
25 They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and prostituted themselves after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
Koma iwo anali osakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wa makolo awo ndipo anadzipereka okha kwa milungu ya anthu okhala mʼdzikomo amene Mulungu anawawononga pamene iwowo ankafika.
26 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 to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
Kotero Mulungu wa Israeli anayika mkwiyo mwa Puli mfumu ya Asuri (ameneyu ndi Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya Asuri) amene anatenga fuko la Rubeni, Gadi ndi theka la fuko la Manase kupita nawo ku ukapolo. Iye anapita nawo ku Hala, Habori, Hara ndi ku mtsinje wa Gozani, kumene ali mpaka lero lino.
