1 Chronicles 5
1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—now Reuben was Israel's firstborn, but his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because Reuben had defiled his father's couch. So he is not recorded as being the oldest son.
Esiawoe nye Ruben ƒe viŋutsuwo. Ruben nye Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbevi. Togbɔ be eyae nye ŋgɔgbevi hã la, eƒo ɖi fofoa ƒe srɔ̃ɖeba eya ta woxɔ ŋgɔgbevinyenye la le esi tsɔ na Israel ƒe vi, Yosef ƒe viŋutsuwo. Esia tae womeŋlɔ eƒe ŋkɔ be eyae nye ŋgɔgbevi le dzidzimegbalẽ la me abe ale si wòle be wòanɔ ene o.
2 Judah was the strongest of his brothers, and the leader would come from him. But the birthright was Joseph's—
Togbɔ be Yosef va zu ŋgɔgbevi hã la, Yuda va nye hlɔ̃ sesẽ, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Israel eye Yuda mee fiavi aɖe do tso.
3 the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.
Ruben ƒe viwoe nye: Hanok, Palu, Hezron kple Karmi.
4 The descendants of Joel were these: Joel's son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah's son was Gog. Gog's son was Shimei.
Yoel ƒe viwoe nye, Semaya, ame si dzi Gog, ame si dzi Simei.
5 Shimei's son was Micah. Micah's son was Reaiah. Reaiah's son was Baal.
Simei ƒe vie nye Mika, ame si dzi Reaia, ame si dzi Baal.
6 Baal's son was Beerah, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader in the tribe of Reuben.
Baal ƒe vie nye Beera, ame si nye fiavi tso Ruben ƒe viwo dome. Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser ɖe aboyoe.
7 Beerah's relatives according to their clans, listed according to their genealogical records: Jeiel the leader, Zechariah, and
Woƒe ƒometɔwo le woƒe hlɔ̃wo nu abe ale si wode wo dzidzimegbalẽ la me la, le ale: Yeiel, fia la kple Zekaria
8 Bela son of Azaz son of Shema son of Joel. They lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon,

9 and eastward to the start of the wilderness that extends to the Euphrates River. This was because they had many cattle in the land of Gilead.
Yoel nye lãnyila; enyi woƒe lãwo le gbegbe la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo heyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la gbɔ elabena nyi geɖewo nɔ Gileadnyigba dzi.
10 In the days of Saul, the tribe of Reuben attacked the Hagrites and defeated them. They lived in the Hagrites' tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.
Le Fia Saul ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Ruben ƒe viwo ɖu Hagritɔwo dzi eye woge ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo me le Gilead ƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo dzi.
11 The members of the tribe of Gad lived near them, in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.
Gad ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ woƒe kasa le anyigba si tso Basan yi keke Saleka:
12 Joel was their leader; Shapham was second; and Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.
Yoel nye wo dometɔ xɔŋkɔtɔ eye Safam, Yanai kple Safat kplɔe ɖo.
13 Their relatives, by their fathers' families, were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
Woƒe ƒometɔ siwo nye hlɔ̃ adreawo ƒe amegãwo la woe nye, Mikael, Mesulam, Seba, Yorai, Yakan, Zia kple Eber.
14 These persons named above were the descendants of Abihail, and Abihail was the son of Huri. Huri was the son of Jaroah. Jaroah was the son of Gilead. Gilead was the son of Michael. Michael was the son of Jeshishai. Jeshishai was the son of Jahdo. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
Buz ƒe dzidzimeviwo le woƒe tsitsi nu le ale: Yahdo, Yesisai. Mikael, Gilead, Yarao, Huri kple Abihail.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel son of Guni, was head of their fathers' family.

16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan, in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as its borders.
Hlɔ̃ la nɔ Gilead, Basan kple wo ŋu duwo me kpakple Saron ƒe lãnyiƒe nutowo katã me va se ɖe eƒe mlɔenu.
17 All these were listed by genealogical records in the days of Jotham king of Judah and of Jeroboam king of Israel.
Woŋlɔ wo katã ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe dzidzimegbalẽ la me le Yuda fia Yotam kple Israel fia Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers trained for war, who carried shield and sword, and who drew the bow.
Asrafo akpe blaene-vɔ-ene alafa adre blaade, ame siwo si aʋawɔnuwo nɔ, wohe wo nyuie eye wonye kalẽtɔwo la nɔ Ruben, Gad kple Manase ƒe to la ƒe afã ƒe aʋakɔ me.
19 They attacked the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
Woho aʋa ɖe Hagritɔwo, Yeturitɔwo, Nafisitɔwo kple Nodabitɔwo ŋu.
20 They received divine help against them. In this way, the Hagrites and all who were with them were defeated. This was because the Israelites cried out to God in the battle, and he responded to them, because they put their trust in him.
Wodo gbe ɖa na Mawu, bia eƒe kpekpeɖeŋu eye wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe ŋuɖoɖo ɖe eŋu ta. Ale woɖu Hagritɔwo kple woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo dzi.
21 They captured their animals, including fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, two thousand donkeys, and 100,000 men.
Woƒe afunyinuwo nye kposɔ akpe blaatɔ̃, alẽ akpe alafa eve blaatɔ̃, tedzi akpe eve kple ame akpe alafa ɖeka.
22 Many fell because the battle was from God. They lived in their land until the captivity.
Woƒe futɔ geɖewo ku le aʋa la me elabena Mawu tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu. Ale Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ Hagritɔwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe anyigba dzi va se ɖe esime woɖe aboyo wo.
23 The half tribe of Manasseh lived in the land of Bashan as far as Baal Hermon and Senir (that is, Mount Hermon).
Manase ƒe to ƒe afã kaka ɖe anyigba si tso Basan yi Baal Hermon, Senir kple Hermon to la ŋu. Woawo hã sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.

25 But they were unfaithful to their ancestors' God. Instead, they worshiped the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
Ke womesubɔ wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la o, ke boŋ wosubɔ ame siwo Mawu tsrɔ̃ la ƒe legbawo.
26 The God of Israel stirred up Pul king of Assyria (also called Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria). He took into exile the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
Esia ta Israel ƒe Mawu na Asiria fia Pul (ame si wogayɔna be Fia Tilgat Pilneser Etɔ̃lia la), ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu eye wòɖe aboyo Ruben ƒe viwo, Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe hlɔ̃ afã me tɔwo. Wokplɔ wo yi Hala, Habor, Hara kple Gozan tɔsisi la to, afi si wole va se ɖe egbe.
