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.
A synowie Rubena pierworodnego Izraelowego, (ten bowiem był pierworodny; ale gdy zgwałcił łoże ojca swego, dane jest pierworodztwo jego synom Józefa, syna Izraelowego, tak jednak, że go nie poczytano za pierworodnego:
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.
Bo Judas był najmężniejsz między braćmi swymi, a książęciem między nimi; ale pierworodztwo należało Józefowi.)
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Synowie mówię Rubena, pierworodnego Izraelowego, byli: Henoch i Fallu, Hesron i Charmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Synowie Joelowi: Samajasz syn jego, Gog syn jego, Semej syn jego;
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Michas syn jego, Reajasz syn jego, Baal syn jego;
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 syn jego, którego wziął w niewolę Teglat Falasar, król Asyryjski; ten był książęciem Rubenitów.
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,
A bracia jego według domów swych, gdy byli policzeni według ich narodów, mieli książęta Jehiela i Zacharyjasza.
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].
A Bela, syn Azazowy, syna Semmy, syna Joelowego; ten mieszkał w Aroer aż ku Nebo i Baalmeon.
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].
Także i na wschód słońca mieszkał, aż kędy wchodzą na puszczę od rzeki Eufrates; albowiem stada ich rozmnożyły się w ziemi Galaadskiej.
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].
Ci za dni Saulowych walczyli z Agareńczykami, którzy porażeni są od ręki ich; a tak mieszkali w namiotach ich po wszystkiej krainie wschodniej ziemi Galaadskiej.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
A synowie Gadowi na przeciwko nich mieszkali w ziemi Bazan, aż do Selchy.
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel był przedniejszym ich, a Safam wtóry, a Janaj i Safat zostali w Bazan.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
A braci ich według domów ojców swych: Michael i Mesullam, i Seba, i Joraj, i Jachan, i Zyja, i Heber, siedm.
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.
(Cić są synowie Abihaila, syna Hurowego, syna Jaroachowego, syna, Galaadowego, syna Michaelowego, syna Jesysowego, syna Jachdowego, syna Buzowego; )
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Achy, syn Abdyjela, syna Gunowego, książę w domu ojców ich.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
I mieszkali w Galaad, w Bazan, i w miasteczkach jego, i po wszystkich przedmieściach Saron aż do ich granic.
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.
Wszyscy ci policzeni byli za dni Jotama, króla Judzkiego, i za dni Jeroboama, króla Izraelskiego.
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.
Synów Rubenowych, i Gadowych, i połowy pokolenia Manasesowego, ludzi walecznych, mężów noszących tarczę i miecz, i ciągnących łuk, i ćwiczonych ku bojowi, czterdzieści i cztery tysiące, siedm set i sześćdziesiąt, wychodzących do bitwy.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Ci wiedli wojnę z Agareńczykami, z Jeturejczykami, i z Nafejczykami, i Nodabczykami,
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.
A mieli pomoc przeciwko nim. I podani są w rękę ich Agareńczycy ze wszystkim, co mieli, przeto iż do Boga wołali w bitwie, a on ich wysłuchał, iż ufali w nim.
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.
I zabrali dobytki ich, wielbłądów ich pięćdziesiąt tysięcy, a owiec dwieście i pięćdziesiąt tysięcy, osłów dwa tysiące, a ludzi sto tysięcy.
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.
Albowiem rannych wiele poległo, iż od Boga była ona porażka. I mieszkali na miejscu ich, aż ich zabrano w niewolę.
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.
Ale synowie połowy pokolenia Manasesowego mieszkali w onej ziemi od Bazan aż do Baal-Hermon i Sanir, które jest góra Hermon; bo i oni rozmnożeni byli.
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.
A cić są książęta domów ojców ich: Efer i Jesy, i Elijel, i Azryjel, i Jeremijasz, i Hodawijasz, i Jachdyjel, mężowie bardzo mocni, mężowie sławni, książęta domu ojców swoich.
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!
Ale gdy zgrzeszyli przeciw Bogu ojców swych i cudzołożyli naśladując bogów narodów onej ziemi, które wykorzenił Bóg przed twarzą ich:
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.
Wzbudził Bóg Izraelski ducha Fula króla Assyryjskiego, i ducha Teglat Falasera, króla Assyryjskiego, i przeniósł ich: Rubenitów, i Gadydtów, i połowę pokolenia Manasesowego, a zawiódł ich do Hela, i Haboru, i do Ara, i do rzeki Gozan, aż do dnia tego.
