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.
Fils de Ruben, premier-né d'Israël (car il était le premier-né; mais pour avoir souillé le lit de son père, son droit d'aînesse fut donné aux fils de Joseph, fils d'Israël, non toutefois pour être enregistré dans les généalogies, selon le droit d'aînesse.
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.
Car Juda fut puissant parmi ses frères, et de lui est issu un prince; mais le droit d'aînesse est à Joseph).
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Fils de Ruben, premier-né d'Israël: Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron et Carmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Fils de Joël: Shémaja, son fils, Gog, son fils, Shimeï, son fils,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Mica, son fils, Réaja, son fils, Baal, son fils,
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.
Béera, son fils, que Thilgath-Pilnéser, roi d'Assyrie, emmena captif. C'était un prince des Rubénites.
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,
Ses frères, d'après leurs familles, au registre généalogique, selon leur naissance, étaient: le premier Jéïel; Zacharie;
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].
Béla, fils d'Azaz, fils de Shéma, fils de Joël. Béla habitait à Aroër, et jusqu'à Nébo et Baal-Méon;
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].
A l'orient, il habitait jusqu'à l'entrée du désert, depuis le fleuve de l'Euphrate, car leurs troupeaux étaient nombreux au pays de Galaad.
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].
Du temps de Saül, ils firent la guerre aux Hagaréniens, qui tombèrent entre leurs mains; et ils habitèrent dans leurs tentes, sur tout le côté oriental de Galaad.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
Les enfants de Gad habitèrent vis-à-vis d'eux dans le pays de Bassan, jusqu'à Salca.
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joël, le premier, Shapham, le second, Janaï et Shaphat en Bassan.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Leurs frères, selon la maison de leurs pères: Micaël, Meshullam, Shéba, Joraï, Jaecan, Zia et Éber, sept.
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.
Ceux-ci sont les enfants d'Abichaïl, fils de Huri, fils de Jaroach, fils de Galaad, fils de Micaël, fils de Jeshishaï, fils de Jachdo, fils de Buz.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Achi, fils d'Abdiel, fils de Guni, était le chef de la maison de leurs pères.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Ils habitaient en Galaad, en Bassan, et dans les villes de leur ressort, et dans toutes les banlieues de Saron, jusqu'à leurs frontières.
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.
Ils furent tous enregistrés dans les généalogies du temps de Jotham, roi de Juda, et du temps de Jéroboam, roi d'Israël.
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.
Les enfants de Ruben, les Gadites et la demi-tribu de Manassé, d'entre les vaillants hommes portant le bouclier et l'épée, tirant de l'arc, et instruits pour la guerre, étaient au nombre de quarante-quatre mille sept cent soixante, sortant en armée.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Ils firent la guerre aux Hagaréniens, à Jétur, à Naphish et à Nodab.
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.
Ils eurent du secours contre eux, et les Hagaréniens, et tous ceux qui étaient avec eux, furent livrés entre leurs mains; car, dans la bataille, ils crièrent à Dieu, et il les exauça, parce qu'ils avaient mis leur espérance en lui;
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.
Et ils prirent leurs troupeaux: cinquante mille chameaux, deux cent cinquante mille brebis, deux mille ânes, et cent mille personnes.
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.
Car il en tomba morts un grand nombre, parce que la bataille venait de Dieu; et ils habitèrent à leur place jusqu'à la déportation.
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.
Les enfants de la demi-tribu de Manassé habitèrent dans le pays, depuis Bassan jusqu'à Baal-Hermon et à Sénir, et à la montagne de Hermon; ils étaient nombreux.
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.
Et voici les chefs des maisons de leurs pères: Épher, Jishéï, Éliel, Azriel, Jérémie, Hodavia et Jachdiel, vaillants hommes, gens de renom, chefs des maisons de leurs pères.
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!
Mais ils péchèrent contre le Dieu de leurs pères, et ils se prostituèrent après les dieux des peuples du pays, que l'Éternel avait détruits devant eux.
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.
Et le Dieu d'Israël excita l'esprit de Pul, roi d'Assyrie, et l'esprit de Thilgath-Pilnéser, roi d'Assyrie, qui transporta les Rubénites, les Gadites et la demi-tribu de Manassé, et les emmena à Chalach, à Chabor, à Hara, et au fleuve de Gozan, où ils sont demeurés jusqu'à ce jour.
