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, primogénito de Israel (pues él era el primogénito, pero por haber profanado el lecho de su padre, su primogenitura fue entregada a los hijos de José, hijo de Israel; y la genealogía no debe enumerarse 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.
Porque Judá prevaleció sobre sus hermanos, y de él salió el príncipe; pero la primogenitura fue de José) —
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
los hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron 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, a quien Tilgath Pilneser, rey de Asiria, llevó cautivo. Era príncipe 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,
Sus hermanos por sus familias, cuando se enumeró la genealogía de sus generaciones: el jefe, Jeiel, y 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 hijo de Azaz, hijo de Sema, hijo de Joel, que vivía en 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].
y vivía hacia el este hasta la entrada del desierto desde el río Éufrates, porque sus ganados se multiplicaban en la tierra de 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 días de Saúl, hicieron la guerra a los hagritas, que cayeron por su mano, y vivieron en sus tiendas por toda la tierra 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].
Los hijos de Gad vivieron junto a ellos en la tierra de Basán hasta Salecá:
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel el principal, Safam el segundo, 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 hermanos de las casas paternas: Miguel, Mesulam, Seba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia y Heber, 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 Micael, hijo de Jeshishai, 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, jefe de las casas de sus padres.
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 en sus ciudades, y en todas las tierras de pastoreo 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 estos fueron enumerados por genealogías en los días de Jotam, rey de Judá, y en los días 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.
Los hijos de Rubén, los gaditas y la media tribu de Manasés, de hombres valientes, capaces de llevar broquel y espada, de disparar con arco y hábiles en la guerra, eran cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta que podían salir a la guerra.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Hicieron la guerra a los hagritas, a Jetur, a Nafis y a Nodab.
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.
Fueron ayudados contra ellos, y los hagritas fueron entregados en su mano, y todos los que estaban con ellos; porque clamaron a Dios en la batalla, y él les respondió porque pusieron su confianza 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.
Les quitaron el ganado: de sus camellos cincuenta mil, de las ovejas doscientas cincuenta mil, de los asnos dos mil y de los hombres cien mil.
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.
Porque muchos cayeron muertos, porque la guerra era de Dios. Vivieron en su lugar hasta el cautiverio.
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.
Los hijos de la media tribu de Manasés vivían en la tierra. Se multiplicaron desde Basán hasta Baal Hermón, Senir y el 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 las casas de sus padres: Efer, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremías, Hodavías y Jahdiel: hombres valientes y famosos, jefes de sus casas paternas.
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!
Se rebelaron contra el Dios de sus padres y se prostituyeron en pos de los dioses de los pueblos de la tierra 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.
Entonces el Dios de Israel despertó el espíritu de Pul, rey de Asiria, y el espíritu de Tilgat Pilneser, rey de Asiria, y se llevó a los rubenitas, a los gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés, y los llevó a Halah, Habor, Hara y al río de Gozán, hasta el día de hoy.
