1 Chronicles 5
1 Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob. Therefore, he should have received the special rights/privileges that belonged to firstborn sons. But he had sex with his father’s slave wife, so [his father] gave the rights if a firstborn son to the sons of Reubers younger brother Joseph. And in the family records, Reuben is not mentioned first, like the firstborn sons always are.
Israel cha amasapen chu Reuben ahi. Ahinlah, aman apa jalou tah’a apa thaikemho lah’a khat alupkhom-pi jeh chun a upat hi asopipa Joseph chapate joh achanguvin. Hiche jeh’a chu Reuben hi khanggui kisimna lekhabua chun apen masah dung juiyin akijih lut tapoi.
2 Although Judah became more influential than his brothers, and a ruler of the tribe descended from him, Joseph’s family received the rights that belonged to firstborn sons.
Judah son achilhahte chu athahat pen’a ahung pan uva chule amaho phunga kona leng khat ahung kisep doh jing vang'in, upatna kiti hi Joseph bou achangin ahi.
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Israel chapa apeng masapen Reuben chapate chu Hanoch ahin, Pallu ahin, Hezron ahin, chule Carmi ahi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Joel son achilhah ho chu Shemaiah ahin, Gog ahin, Shimei ahin,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Micah ahin, Reaiah ahin, Baal ahin,
6 Baal’s son was Beerah. Beerah was a leader of the tribe/descendants of Reuben. But Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria captured him and took him to Assyria.
Chule Beerah ahi. Assyria lengpa Tiglath-Pileser pachu Beerah anahi.
7 The names of these clans are listed here according to what is written in their family records. The first [name written was] Jeiel. Then Zechariah,
Beerah inkote chu ama phung sunga akhangguiya akisimtoh’a akijih toh tengleh ahaosa chu Jeriel ahin, Zechariah jong ahi;
8 and then Bela. Bela was the son of Azaz, and Azaz was the son of Shema, and Shema was the son of Joel. Reuben’s clan was very large. Some of them lived near Aroer [city] as far [north] as Nebo [town] and Baal-Meon [city].
Chule Azaz chapa Bela ahin, Shema chapa ahin, chule Joel chapa jong ahi. Reuben mite ho hi Aroer apat Nebon changei, chule Baal-Meon chan geiya cheng ahiuve.
9 Some of them lived further east, as far as the edge of the desert [south of] the Euphrates River. [They went there] because they had a huge amount of cattle, [with the result that there was not enough pastureland for them] in [the] Gilead [region].
Chule amaho hin Gilead gam'a chun gancha tamtah anei jeh’a niso lama jong achenguvin, nel gam jot nalampi lang apat Euphrates luipi gal lam geiyin acheng uvin ahi.
10 When Saul was king [of Israel], Bela’s clan fought against the descendants of Hagar and defeated them. After that, Bela’s clan lived in the tents that the descendants of Hagar had lived in previously, in all the area east of [the] Gilead [region].
Shual lengvaipoh laiyin jong Reuben mite hin Hagar mite chunga gal abol uvin ahi, hiche Hagar mite chu ajophat uvin Gilead niso lama amaho ponbuh jouse a chun alhung keiyin achen den lo tauvin ahi.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
Gad son achilhah ho chu Reuben mite ho toh kigalsaiyin achenguvin Salecah chan geiyin alouve.
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel chu Bashan khoa haosan apangin, Shapham ama ban in apangin, ama ni ban’a Janai le Saphat apang ahilhone.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Amaho insunga phunggui sagi haosa ho chu Michael ahin, Meshullam ahin, Shiba ahin, Jorai ahin, Jacan Zia ahin, chule Eber ahi.
14 They were descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri’s son. Huri was Jaroah’s son. Jaroah was Gilead’s son. Gilead was Michael’s son. Michael was Jeshishai’s son. Jeshishai was Jahdo’s son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
Hiche ho chengse hi abonchauva Huri chapa Abihail son achilhah jeng ahiuve; Huri chu joroah chapa ahin, Joroah chu Gilead chapa ahin, Michael chu Jeshishai chapa ahin, Jeshishai chu Jahdo chapa, chule Jahdo chu Buz chapa ahi.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi chu Abdiel chapa ahin, Abdiel chu Guni chapa ahin chule Guni hi amaho insung lhah’a haosa ahi.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Hiche Gad mite hi Gilead gamsung, Bashan gamsung, chule akhobah jouse le Sharon gam hamhing phatna lai jousea achenguvin ahi.
17 All of those names were written in the records of the clans of Gad during the time that Jotham was the king of Judah and Jeroboam was the king of Israel.
Mihem hijat khanggui thusim hi Judah lengpa Jotham lal lai le Israel lengpa Jeroboam lal laiya kisimtoh a kijih doh ahiye.
18 There were 44,760 soldiers from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh. They all carried shields and swords and bows [and arrows]. They [were all trained to] fight well in battles.
Reuben chapate leh Gad chapate chule Manaseh phung keh khat jong hin galhang mihat, pho le chemjam thoa gal bolthei, thalpi kap them, galsat themtah tah sepai sangsom li le sang ni le ja sagi le somgup jen gal bol dia gonsa anei jinguvin ahi.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Amaho hin Hagar mite chung le Jetur mite chung, chule Naphish mite le Nodab mite chunga gal abol’uve.
20 The men from those three tribes prayed to God during the battles, requesting him to help them. So he helped them, because they trusted in him. He enabled them to defeat [IDM] the descendants of Hagar and all those who were helping them.
Gal lai hin amahon Pathen hengah panpina athum un, amahon Pathen tahsanna anei jeh’uvin, aman ataona chu asanpeh tai. Hijeh chun amahon Gar mite le amaho panpi chengse chu ajou soh hel tauve.
21 They took the animals that belonged to the descendants of Hagar: They took 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also captured 100,000 people.
Amahon akisatpi Har mite thil achompeh ho chu sangongsao sangsom nga jen ahin, kelngoi le kelcha sang jani le sangsom nga jen toh ahin, chule mihem sang jakhat jen galhingin akaiyun ahi.
22 But many descendants of Hagar were killed because God helped the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. After that, those three tribes lived in that area until [the army of] Babylonia [captured them and] took them away to Babylon.
Gal kisat chu Pathen in apanpi jeh’in Har mite simsen lou akijam chap jengin ahi. Soh-changa akitol mang kah seuvin amaho gamsunga chun Reuben mite, Gad mite, chu Manaseh mite acheng tauve.
23 There were many people who belonged to the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They lived in [the] Bashan [region east of the Jordan River], as far [north] as Baal-Hermon, Senir, and Hermon Mountain.
Manaseh phung kehkhat jong mihem atam lheh jenguvin, Bashan gam'a pat Baal-Hermon gei, Senir gei, chule Hermon molsang geiyin achengdoh peh jenguvin ahi.
24 Their clan leaders were Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were all strong, brave, and famous soldiers, and leaders of their clans.
Ama ama pajang lhah ainsung cheh-uva a upa chengse chu: Epher ahin, Ishi ahin, Eliel ahin, Azriel ahin, Jeremiah ahin, Hodaviah ahin, chule Jahdiel toh ahiuve. Amaho mihat galhang ho hina lama minthanna anei uvin, chule ama ama insung pajang lhah a a upa chengse chu ahitauvin ahi.
25 But they sinned against God, the one whom their ancestors had worshiped. They began to worship the gods/idols that the people of that region had worshiped, the people whom God had enabled them to destroy!
Ahivangin amaho hin apu apateu Pathen ahou khel’uvin, Pathenin asuhmangsa mite gam'a vaipo ho Pathen lim semthu doi ho akou tauvin ahi.
26 So the God whom the Israelis [worshiped] caused Pul, the king of Assyria, to conquer those tribes. Pul’s other name was Tiglath-Pileser. His [army] captured the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, and took them to [various places in Assyria]: Halah, Habor, Hara and near the Gozan River. [They have lived in those places from that time] to the present time.
Hichejeh hin Pathenin Assyria lengpa Pul (Tiglath-Piteser jong akiti ) lungthim ahintildoh peh in, hiche Reuben mite le Gad mite toh, chule Manaseh phung akeh khat hi akaimangin ahi. Assyria ten amaho hi Halah kho le Habor kho, Hara kho, chule Gozan vadunga ahinkai lut’uvin, tuni geiyin aumden tauve.
