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.
Los hijos de Rubén, el primogénito de Israel. (Aunque era el primogénito, su primogenitura fue entregada a los hijos de José hijo de Israel porque había profanado el lecho de su padre. Por eso Rubén no figura en la genealogía según la primogenitura,
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.
y aunque Judá llegó a ser el más fuerte de sus hermanos y de él salió un gobernante, la primogenitura le pertenecía a José).
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Los hijos de Rubén el primogénito de Israel: Hanoc, Falú, Hezrón y Carmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Los hijos de Joel: Semaías su hijo, Gog su hijo, Simei su hijo,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
Miqueas su hijo, Reaías su hijo, Baal su hijo,
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.
y Beera su hijo, el que Tiglat-Pileser el rey de Asiria llevó al exilio. Él (Beera) era un líder de los rubenitas.
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,
Los parientes de Beera son, según sus registros genealógicos: por familia Jeiel (el jefe de familia), Zacarías,
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].
y Bela de Azaz, hijo de Sema, hijo de Joel. Ellos habitaban en la zona que iba desde Aroer hasta Nebo y Baal Meón.
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].
Por el lado oriental se extendieron por la tierra hasta el borde del desierto que continúa hasta el río Éufrates, porque sus rebaños habían crecido mucho en 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].
En los tiempos de Saúl fueron a la guerra contra los agarenos, y los derrotaron. Se apoderaron de los lugares donde habían vivido los agarenos en todas las regiones al este 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].
Junto a ellos, los descendientes de Gad vivían en Basa, hasta Salca.
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel (el jefe de familia), Safam (el segundo), y Janai y Safat, en Basán.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Sus parientes, según la familia, eran: Miguel, Mesulán, Sabá, Jorai, Jacán, Zía y Éber, siendo un total de siete.
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.
Estos fueron Los hijos de Abihail, hijo de Huri, hijo de Jaroa, hijo de Galaad, hijo de Miguel, hijo de Jesisai, hijo de Jahdo, hijo de Buz.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi hijo de Abdiel, hijo de Guni, era su jefe de familia.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Vivían en Galaad, en Basán y sus ciudades, y en los pastizales de Sarón hasta sus fronteras.
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.
Todos ellos fueron registrados en la genealogía durante el tiempo de Jotam, rey de Judá, y de Jeroboam, rey de Israel.
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.
La tribu de Rubén, la tribu de Gad y la media tribu de Manasés tenían 44.760 guerreros fuertes y listos para la batalla, capaces de usar escudos, espadas y arcos.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Fueron a la guerra contra los agarenos, los jetureos, los nafiseos y los nodabitas.
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.
Recibieron ayuda en la lucha contra estos enemigos porque invocaron a Dios durante las batallas. Así pudieron derrotar a los agarenos y a todos los que estaban con ellos. Dios respondió a sus oraciones porque confiaron en él.
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.
Capturaron el ganado de sus enemigos: cincuenta mil camellos, doscientas cincuenta mil ovejas y dos mil asnos. También capturaron a cien mil personas,
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.
y muchas otras murieron porque la batalla era de Dios. Se apoderaron de la tierra y vivieron allí hasta el exilio.
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.
La media tribu de Manasés había crecido mucho. Vivían en la tierra desde Basán hasta Baal Hermón, (también conocida como Senir y Monte Hermón).
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.
Estos eran los jefes de familia: Efer, Isi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremías, Hodavías y Jahdiel. Eran fuertes guerreros, hombres famosos, jefes de sus familias.
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!
Pero fueron infieles al Dios de sus antepasados. Se prostituyeron siguiendo a los dioses de los pueblos de la tierra, los que Dios había destruido antes que ellos.
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.
Así que el Dios de Israel animó a Pul, rey de Asiria, (también conocido como Tiglat-Pileser, rey de Asiria), para que invadiera la tierra. Llevó al exilio a los rubenitas, a los gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés. Los llevó a Halah, a Habor, a Hara y al río de Gozán, donde permanecen hasta el día de hoy.
