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.
Οι δε υιοί του Ρουβήν πρωτοτόκου του Ισραήλ, διότι ούτος ήτο ο πρωτότοκος· επειδή όμως εμίανε την κοίτην του πατρός αυτού, τα πρωτοτόκια αυτού εδόθησαν εις τους υιούς του Ιωσήφ, υιού του Ισραήλ· πλην ουχί διά να έχη τα πρωτοτόκια ως προς την γενεαλογίαν·
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.
διότι ο Ιούδας υπερίσχυσεν υπέρ τους αδελφούς αυτού, ώστε εξ αυτού να εξέλθη ο ηγούμενος· τα πρωτοτόκια όμως ήσαν του Ιωσήφ·
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
οι υιοί του Ρουβήν πρωτοτόκου του Ισραήλ ήσαν Ανώχ και Φαλλού, Εσρών και Χαρμί.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
υιοί του Ιωήλ, Σεμαΐας υιός τούτου, Γωγ υιός τούτου, Σιμεΐ υιός τούτου,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Μιχά υιός τούτου, Ρεαΐα υιός τούτου, Βάαλ υιός τούτου,
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.
Βεηρά υιός τούτου, τον οποίον μετώκισεν ο Θελγάθ-φελνασάρ βασιλεύς της Ασσυρίας· ούτος ήτο ο αρχηγός των Ρουβηνιτών.
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,
Και των αδελφών αυτού κατά τας συγγενείας αυτών, ότε η γενεαλογία των γενεών αυτών απηριθμήθη, οι αρχηγοί ήσαν Ιεϊήλ και Ζαχαρίας,
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].
και Βελά ο υιός του Αζάζ, υιού του Σεμά, υιού του Ιωήλ· ούτος κατώκησεν εν Αροήρ και έως Νεβώ και Βάαλ-μεών·
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].
και προς ανατολάς κατώκησεν έως της εισόδου της ερήμου από του Ευφράτου ποταμού· διότι τα κτήνη αυτών είχον πληθυνθή εν τη γη Γαλαάδ.
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].
Και εν ταις ημέραις του Σαούλ έκαμον πόλεμον προς τους Αγαρηνούς, οίτινες έπεσον διά της χειρός αυτών· και κατώκησαν εν ταις σκηναίς αυτών καθ' όλον το ανατολικόν της Γαλαάδ.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
Και οι υιοί του Γαδ κατώκησαν κατέναντι αυτών, εν τη γη Βασάν έως Σαλχά·
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Ιωήλ ο αρχηγός και Σαφάμ ο δεύτερος, και Ιαναΐ και Σαφάτ, εν Βασάν.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Και οι αδελφοί αυτών εκ του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών ήσαν, Μιχαήλ και Μεσουλλάμ και Σεβά και Ιωράμ και Ιαχάν και Ζιέ και Έβερ, επτά.
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.
ούτοι είναι οι υιοί του Αβιχαίλ υιού του Ουρί, υιού του Ιαροά, υιού του Γαλαάδ, υιού του Μιχαήλ, υιού του Ιεσισαΐ, υιού του Ιαδώ, υιού του Βουζ.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Αχί ο υιός του Αβδιήλ, υιού του Γουνί, ήτο ο αρχηγός του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Και κατώκησαν εν Γαλαάδ, εν Βασάν και εν ταις κώμαις αυτής, και εν πάσι τοις περιχώροις Σαρών, έως των ορίων αυτών.
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.
Πάντες ούτοι απηριθμήθησαν κατά την γενεαλογίαν αυτών εν ταις ημέραις του Ιωθάμ βασιλέως του Ιούδα, και εν ταις ημέραις του Ιεροβοάμ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ.
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.
Οι υιοί του Ρουβήν και οι Γαδίται και το ήμισυ της φυλής του Μανασσή, εκ των δυνατών, άνδρες φέροντες ασπίδα και μάχαιραν και εντείνοντες τόξον και γεγυμνασμένοι εις πόλεμον, ήσαν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες και επτακόσιοι εξήκοντα, εξερχόμενοι εις πόλεμον.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Και έκαμνον πόλεμον προς τους Αγαρηνούς και Ιετουραίους και Ναφισαίους και Νοδαβαίους.
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.
Και εβοηθήθησαν εναντίον αυτών, και οι Αγαρηνοί παρεδόθησαν εις τας χείρας αυτών και πάντες οι μετ' αυτών· διότι προς τον Θεόν εβόησαν εν τη μάχη, και επήκουσεν αυτών, επειδή ήλπισαν επ' αυτόν.
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.
Και ηχμαλώτισαν τα κτήνη αυτών, τας καμήλους αυτών πεντήκοντα χιλιάδας, και πρόβατα διακοσίας πεντήκοντα χιλιάδας, και όνους δύο χιλιάδας, και ψυχάς ανθρώπων εκατόν χιλιάδας.
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.
Διότι πολλοί έπεσον τεθανατωμένοι, επειδή ο πόλεμος ήτο εκ Θεού. Και κατώκησαν αντ' αυτών έως της μετοικεσίας.
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.
Και οι υιοί του ημίσεος της φυλής Μανασσή κατώκησαν εν τη γή· ούτοι ηύξησαν από Βασάν έως Βάαλ-ερμών και Σενείρ και έως του όρους Αερμών·
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.
Ούτοι δε ήσαν οι αρχηγοί του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών· Εφέρ και Ιεσεί και Ελιήλ και Αζριήλ και Ιερεμίας και Ωδουΐας και Ιαδιήλ, άνδρες δυνατοί εν ισχύϊ, άνδρες ονομαστοί, αρχηγοί του οίκου των πατέρων αυτών.
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!
Και εστάθησαν παραβάται κατά του Θεού των πατέρων αυτών και επόρνευσαν κατόπιν των θεών των λαών της γης, τους οποίους ο Θεός ηφάνισεν απ' έμπροσθεν αυτών.
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.
Διά τούτο ο Θεός του Ισραήλ διήγειρε το πνεύμα του Φούλ βασιλέως της Ασσυρίας και το πνεύμα του Θελγάθ-φελνασάρ βασιλέως της Ασσυρίας, και μετώκισεν αυτούς, τους Ρουβηνίτας και τους Γαδίτας και το ήμισυ της φυλής του Μανασσή, και έφερεν αυτούς εις Αλά και εις Αβώρ και εις Αρά και εις τον ποταμόν Γωζάν, έως της ημέρας ταύτης.
