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.
Et les fils de Ruben, premier-né d'Israël, (car il était le premier-né, mais, pour avoir profané le lit de son père, sa primogéniture fut dévolue aux fils de Joseph, fils d'Israël, sans cependant qu'ils fussent comptés dans la généalogie à titre de primogéniture;
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.
sans doute Juda fut puissant parmi ses frères et fournit un prince, mais la primogéniture appartenait à Joseph)
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
les fils de Ruben, premier-né d'Israël, sont: Hanoch et Pallu, Hetsron et Charmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Les fils de Joël: son fils Semaïa, dont le fils fut Gog qui eut pour fils Siméï,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
dont le fils fut Michée qui eut pour fils Reaïa,
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.
dont le fils fut Baal qui eut pour fils Beéra que Thiglath-Pilnéser, roi d'Assyrie, emmena captif; il était 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,
Et ses frères selon leurs familles au registre de leurs généalogies furent: le chef Jehiel et 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].
et Béla, fils de Azaz, fils de Sema, fils de Joël; celui-ci habitait à Aroër et jusqu'à Nebo et Baal-Meon,
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].
et au levant jusqu'à l'entrée du désert borné par l'Euphrate; car ils avaient de nombreux troupeaux dans la contrée 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].
Et à l'époque de Saul ils firent la guerre aux Hagarites qui tombèrent entre leurs mains et dont ils habitèrent les 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].
Et les fils de Gad habitaient vis-à-vis d'eux au pays de Basan jusqu'à Salcha:
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joël, le chef, et Sapham, le second, puis Jaënaï et Saphat en Basan.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Et leurs frères selon leurs maisons patriarcales sont: Michaël et Mesullam et Séba et Joraï et Jaëchan et Zia et Eber, 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.
Ce sont les fils d'Abihaïl, fils de Huri, fils de Jaroach, fils de Galaad, fils de Michaël, fils de Jesisaï, fils de Jahdo, fils de Buz.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi, fils d'Abdiel, fils de Guni, était leur patriarche.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Et ils habitaient en Galaad et en Basan et dans les villes de leur dépendance et dans tous les chesaux de Saron jusqu'à leurs issues.
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.
Tous ils furent inscrits aux registres à l'époque de Jotham, roi de Juda, et à l'époque 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 fils de Ruben et les Gadites et la demi-Tribu de Manassé, ce qu'il y avait d'hommes braves, portant le bouclier et l'épée et bandant l'arc et formés à la guerre, au nombre de quarante-quatre mille sept cent soixante, se mirent en campagne
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
et firent la guerre aux Hagarites et à Jetur et Naphis et 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.
Et secours leur fut dispensé contre eux, et les Hagarites furent livrés entre leurs mains avec tous leurs auxiliaires; car dans le combat ils élevèrent leur cri vers Dieu qui les exauça parce qu'ils se confiaient 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 emmenèrent leur bétail et leurs chameaux au nombre de cinquante mille et deux cent cinquante mille moutons, et deux mille ânes, et en hommes cent mille âmes.
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 tomba une multitude de morts, parce que le combat était engagé de par Dieu. Et ils habitèrent en 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.
Et les fils de la demi-Tribu de Manassé habitèrent au pays de Basan jusqu'à Baal-Hermon et Senir et le mont 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 leurs patriarches: Epher et Jiseï et Eliel et Azriel et Jérémie et Hodavia et Jachdiel, braves guerriers et hommes de renom, chefs de leurs familles patriarcales.
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 firent infidélité au Dieu de leurs pères et allèrent se prostituer après les dieux des peuples du pays, que Dieu avait exterminés 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.
Alors le Dieu d'Israël émut l'esprit de Phul, roi d'Assyrie, et l'esprit de Thiglath-Pilnéser, roi d'Assyrie, et Il déporta les Rubénites et les Gadites et la demi-Tribu de Manassé et les amena à Chala et Chabor et Chara et au fleuve du Gozan, où ils sont aujourd'hui.
