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.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely (fa izy no lahimatoa; saingy ny nandotoany ny farafaran-drainy no nanomezana ny fizokiany ho an’ ny zanak’ i Josefa, zanak’ Isiraely; nefa tsy voasoratra ho zokiny amin’ ny fitantaram-pirazanana ireo;
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.
fa Joda nisandratra noho ny rahalahiny, ary izy no nihavian’ ny mpanapaka; nefa ny fizokiana kosa dia an’ i Josefa ihany),
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
ny zanakalahin’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely, dia Hanoka sy Palo sy Hezrona ary Karmy.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Joela dia Semaia, ary Goga no zanakalahin’ i Semaia, Sirney no zanakalahin’ i Goga,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Mika no zanakalahin’ i simey, Reaia no zanakalahin’ i Mika, Bala no zanakalahin’ i Reaia,
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.
Bera no zanakalahin’ i Bala, izay nobaboin’ i Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria; izy no loham-pirenen’ ny Robenita.
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,
Ary ny rahalahiny araka ny fokony avy, raha nisaina ny firazanan’ ny fireneny, dia Jeiela lohany sy Zakaria
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].
ary Bela, zanak’ i Azaza, zanak’ i Sema, zanak’ i Joela, izay nonina tao Aroera hatrany Nebo sy Balameona.
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].
Ary nonina tany atsinanana hatrany akaikin’ ny efitra ka hatramin’ ny ony Eofrata izy; fa ny ombiny aman’ ondriny nihamaro teny amin’ ny tany Gileada.
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].
Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Saoly dia niady tamin’ ny Hagarita izy ka naharesy azy; ary nonina an-day eran’ ny ilany atsinanana rehetra amin’ i Gileada izy.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
Ary ny taranak’ i Gada nonina tandrifiny, teny amin’ ny tany Basana hatrany Saleka;
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joela no lohany, dia Safama no manarakaraka, dia Janay sy Safata tany Basana.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Ary ny rahalahiny araka ny fianakaviany avy dia Mikaela sy Mesolama sy Seba sy Joray sy Jakana sy Zia ary Ebera; fito izy.
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.
Ireo no zanakalahin’ i Abihaila, zanak’ i Hory, zanak’ i Jaroa, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Mikaela, zanak’ i Jesisay, zanak’ i Jado, zanak’ i Boza;
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahia, zanak’ i Abdiela, zanak’ i Gony, no lohan’ ny fianakaviany.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Ary nonina tany Gileada sy tany Basana sy tamin’ ny zana-bohiny ary tamin’ ny tany rehetra an-tsisin’ i Sardna manodidina izy.
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.
Ireo rehetra ireo dia nisaina araka ny firazanany tamin’ ny andron’ i Jotama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Ny taranak’ i Robena sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, izay isan’ ny lehilahy mahery, ka lehilahy mahatana ampinga sy sabatra ary mahahenjana tsipìka sady zatra ny miady, dia enim-polo amby fiton-jato amby efatra arivo sy efatra alina no isan’ ny azo nalefa hanafika.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Ary niady tamin’ ny Hagarita sy tamin’ i Jetora sy Nafisy ary Nodaba izy.
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.
Ary nombana hamely ireo izy, ka dia voatolotra teo an-tànany ny Hagarita mbamin’ izay rehetra nomba azy, satria nitaraina tamin’ Andriamanitra teo amin’ ny ady izy, ary nekeny ny fangatahany noho ny fahatokiany Azy.
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.
Ary nobaboiny ny bibiny, dia rameva dimy alina sy ondry aman’ osy dimy alina amby roa hetsy sy boriky roa arivo ary olona iray hetsy;
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.
fa maro ny faty niampatrampatra, satria avy tamin’ Andriamanitra ny ady. Ary nonina nandimby ireo izy mandra-pahatongan’ ny namaboana azy kosa.
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.
Ary ny taranaky ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia nonina tamin’ ny tany; ary nihamaro izy hatrany Basana ka hatrany Bala-hermona sy Senira ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Hermona.
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.
Ary izao no lohan’ ny fianakaviany: Efera sy Jisy sy Eliala sy Azriela sy Jeremia sy Hodavia ary Jadiela; lehilahy mahery ireo ary malaza sady samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy.
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!
Ary nivadika tamin’ Andriamanitry ny razany ireo, fa nijangajanga nanaraka ny andriamanitry ny tompon-tany, izay naringan’ Andriamanitra tsy ho eo anoloany.
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.
Ary Andriamanitry ny Isiraely namporisika an’ i Pola, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, sy Tiglato-pilesera mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka dia nobaboin’ ireo ny Robenita sy ny Gadita sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nentiny tany Hala sy Habora sy Hara ary tany amoron’ ny ony Gozana ambaraka androany.
