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.
Y los hijos de Rubén, el hijo mayor de Israel, porque él era el hijo mayor, pero porque hizo impuro el lecho de su padre, su primogenitura fue dada a los hijos de José, el hijo de Israel, pero no se le debe dar el lugar del mayor.
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.
Aunque Judá se hizo más fuerte que sus hermanos, y de él vino el gobernante, la primogenitura era la de José:
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Los hijos de Rubén, el hijo mayor de Israel: Hanoc, Falu, 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.
Micaia su hijo, Reaía 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.
Su hijo Beera, a quien Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria, se llevó como prisionero: era el jefe 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,
Y sus hermanos por sus familias, cuando se hizo la lista 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, el hijo de Azaz, el hijo de Sema, el hijo de Joel, que vivía en Aroer, hasta Nebo y Baal-meon;
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 al este, sus límites llegaron hasta el punto de partida del desierto, que terminaban en el río Eufrates, debido a que su ganado había aumentado en número 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].
Y en los días de Saúl hicieron guerra contra los agarenos, y los vencieron; y levantaron 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].
Y los hijos de Gad vivían frente a ellos, en la tierra de Basán, hasta Salca.
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel el jefe, y Safan el segundo, y Jaanai 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.
Y sus hermanos, los hombres de su familia: Micael, Mesulam, Seba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia y Eber, siete de ellos.
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, el hijo de Huri, el hijo de Jaroa, el hijo de Galaad, el hijo de Micael, el hijo de Jesisai, el hijo de Jahdo, el hijo de Buz;
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahí, el hijo de Abdiel, el hijo de Guni, cabeza 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].
Y vivían en Galaad, en Basán, en sus pueblos pequeños y en todas las praderas del Sarón hasta sus límites.
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 bajo los nombres de sus familias, en el tiempo de Jotam, rey de Judá, y en el tiempo 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.
Había cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta de los hijos de Rubén y de los gaditas y de la media tribu de Manasés, todos hombres fuertes, expertos en el uso del escudo, la espada y el arco, y en el arte de la guerra, todos capaces de tomar las armas.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Y fueron a la guerra contra los agarenos, con Jetur, Nafis y 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.
Y fueron ayudados contra ellos, y los Agarenos, y los que estaban con ellos, fueron entregados en su poder. Porque suplicaron a Dios en la lucha, y él les escuchó, 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.
Y se llevaron sus ganados: cincuenta mil camellos, doscientas cincuenta mil ovejas, dos mil asnos y cien mil hombres.
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 un gran número fue a su muerte, porque la guerra era de Dios. Y siguieron viviendo en su lugar hasta que fueron llevados como prisioneros.
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.
Y los hombres de la media tribu de Manasés vivían en la tierra: y su número aumentó hasta que toda la tierra de Basán a Baal-hermón y Senir y la montaña Hermon fueron suyas.
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.
Y estos eran los jefes de sus familias: Efer e Isi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremías, Hodavias, Jahdiel, hombres de guerra, de gran nombre, y jefes de familia.
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!
E hicieron lo malo contra el Dios de sus padres, adorando a los dioses de la gente de la tierra, a quienes Dios había destruido ante 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.
Y el Dios de Israel puso un impulso en el corazón de Pul, rey de Asiria, y de Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria, que se los llevó prisioneros, todos los rubenitas y gaditas y los medios tribu de Manasés, a Halah, Habor, Hara y al río Gozan, hasta el día de hoy.
