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.
イスラエルの長子ルベンの子等は左のごとしルベンは長子なりしがその父の床を瀆ししによりてその長子の權はイスラエルの子ヨセフの子等に與へらる然れども系譜は長子の權にしたがひて記すべきに非ず
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.
そはユダその諸兄弟に勝る者となりて君たる者その中より出ればなり但し長子の權はヨセフに屬す
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
即ちイスラエルの長子ルベンの子等はハノク、パル、ヘヅロン、カルミ
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
ヨエルの子はシマヤ その子はゴグ その子はシメイ
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
その子はミカ その子はレアヤ その子はバアル
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.
その子はベエラ このべエラはアッスリヤの王テルガテピルネセルに擄へられてゆけり彼はルベン人の中に牧伯たる者なりき
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,
彼の兄弟等はその宗族に依りその歴代の系譜によれば左のごとし長ヱイエルおよびゼカリヤ
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].
ベラ等なりベラはアザズの子シマの孫ヨエルの曾孫なりかれアロエルに住みて地をネボ、バアルメオンにまでおよぼししが
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].
ギレアデの地にてその家畜殖増ければまた地を東の方ユフラテ河の此方なる荒野の極端にまでおよぼせり
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].
またサウルの時にハガリ人と戰爭してこれを打破りギレアデの東の全部なる彼らの幕屋に住たり
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
ガドの子孫はこれと相對ひてバシヤンの地にすみて地をサルカにまで及ぼせり
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
長はヨエル次はシヤパム、ヤアナイ、シヤパテ共にバシヤンに居り
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
彼らの兄弟等はその宗家によればミカエル、メシユラム、シバ、ヨライ、ヤカン、ジア、ヘベル都合七人
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.
是等はホリの子アビハイルの子等なり ホリはヤロアの子ヤロアはギレアデの子ギレアデはミカエルの子ミカエはヱシサイの子ヱシサイはヤドの子ヤドはブズの子
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
アヒはアブデルの子アブデルはグニの子グニは其宗家の長たり
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
彼らはギレアデとバシヤンと其郷里とシヤロンの諸郊地に住て地を其四方の境に及ぼせり
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.
是等はみなユダの王ヨタムの世とイスラエルの王ヤラベアムの世に系譜に載たるなり
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.
ルベンの子孫とガド人とマナセの半支派には出て戰ふべき者四萬四千七百六十人あり皆勇士にして能く楯と矛とを執り善く弓を彎きかつ善戰ふ者なり
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
彼等ハガリ人およびヱトル、ネフシ、ノダブ等と戰爭しけるが
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.
助力をかうむりて攻撃たればハガリ人および之と偕なりし者等みな彼らの手におちいれり是は彼ら陣中にて神を呼びこれを賴みしによりて神これを聽いれたまひしが故なり
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.
かくて彼らその家畜を奪ひとりしに駱駝五萬 羊二十五萬 驢馬二千あり人十萬ありき
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.
またころされて倒れたる者衆しその戰爭神に由るがゆゑなり而して彼らはこれが地に代りて住その擄移さるる時におよべり
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.
マナセの半支派の人々はこの地に住み殖蔓りてつひにバシヤンよりバアルヘルモン、セニルおよびヘルモン山まで地をおよぼせり
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.
その宗家の長は左のごとし即ちエペル、イシ、エリエル、アズリエル、ヱレミヤ、ホダヤ、ヤデエル是みなその宗家の長にして名ある大勇士なりき
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!
彼等その先祖等の神にむかひて罪を犯し曾て彼等の前に神の滅ぼしたまひし國の民等の神を慕ひてこれと姦淫したれば
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.
イスラエルの神アッスリヤの王ブルの心を振興しまたアッスリヤの王テグラテビレセルの心を振興したまへり彼つひにルベン人とガド人とマナセの半支派とを擄へゆきこれをハウラとハボルとハラとゴザンの河の邊とに移せり彼等は今日まで其處にあり
