1 Chronicles 5

1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.

١ وَكَانَ رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ فَقَدَ امْتِيَازَاتِ بَكُورِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي وُهِبَتْ لاِبْنَيْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ عَاشَرَ مَحْظِيَّةَ أَبِيهِ، فَلَمْ يُحْسَبْ بِكْراً.

2 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—

٢ وَمَعَ أَنَّ يَهُوذَا كَانَ الأَقْوَى بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ تَحَدَّرَ الْمُلُوكُ الَّذِينَ حَكَمُوا، فَإِنَّ الْبَكُورِيَّةَ ظَلَّتْ مِنْ نَصِيبِ يُوسُفَ.

3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

٣ أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهُمْ: حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي.

4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

٤ وَأَنْجَبَ يُوئِيلُ شَمْعِيَا، وَشَمْعِيَا جُوجَ، وَجُوجُ شِمْعِي،

5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

٥ وَشِمْعِي مِيخَا، وَمِيخَا رَآيَا، وَرَآيَا بَعْلَ.

6 and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.

٦ وَأَنْجَبَ بَعْلُ بَئِيرَةَ الَّذِي سَبَاهُ الْمَلِكُ الأَشُورِيُّ تَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرُ. وَكَانَ بَئِيرَةُ رَئِيسَ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

7 His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was listed: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

٧ وَفِيمَا يَلِي أَسْمَاءُ زُعَمَاءِ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ بَئِيرَةَ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي سِجِلَّاتِ الأَنْسَابِ: الرُّؤَسَاءُ يَعِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا،

8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon;

٨ وَبَالِعُ بْنُ عَزَازَ بْنِ شَامِعَ بْنِ يُوئِيلَ الَّذِي اسْتَوْطَنَ فِي عَرُوعِيرَ وَفِي الأَرَاضِي الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شِمَالاً إِلَى نَبُو وَبَعْلِ مَعُونَ.

9 and he lived eastward even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

٩ كَمَا اسْتَوْطَنُوا شَرْقاً حَتَّى حُدُودِ الصَّحْرَاءِ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، لأَنَّ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ لَمْ تَعُدْ تَكْفِي مَوَاشِيَهُمُ الَّتِي تَكَاثَرَتْ.

10 In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

١٠ وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ مُلْكِ شَاوُلَ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَاحْتَلُّوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ.

11 The sons of Gad lived beside them in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

١١ وَأَقَامَتْ ذُرِّيَّةُ جَادٍ شِمَالِيَّ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شَرْقاً حَتَّى سَلْخَةَ.

12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

١٢ وَكَانَ يُوئِيلُ الزَّعِيمَ الْمُتَرَئِّسَ وَيَلِيهِ شَافَاطُ، ثُمَّ يَعْنَايُ وَشَافَاطُ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ.

13 Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven.

١٣ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِمْ وَفْقاً لاِنْتِسَابِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا يَنْتَمُونَ لِلرُّؤَسَاءِ السَّبْعَةِ مِيخَائِيلَ وَمَشُلّامَ وَشَبَعَ وَيُورَايَ وَيَعْكَانَ وَزِيعَ وَعَابِرَ.

14 These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

١٤ وَهَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ أَبِيحَايِلَ بْنِ حُورِيَ بْنِ يَارُوحَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مِيخَائِيلَ بْنِ يَشِيشَايَ بْنِ يَحْدُوَ بْنِ بُوزٍ.

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses.

١٥ وَكَانَ أَخِي بْنُ عَبْدِيئِيلَ بْنِ جُونِي رَئِيسَ هَذِهِ الْعَائِلاتِ.

16 They lived in Gilead in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon as far as their borders.

١٦ وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ وَفِي بَاشَانَ وَقُرَاهَا وَأَرَاضِي الْمَرَاعِي التَّابِعَةِ لِشَارُونَ.

17 All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

١٧ وَقَدْ تَمَّ تَدْوِينُ سِجِلّاتِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَيَرُبْعَامَ الثَّانِي مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, able to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty that were able to go out to war.

١٨ وَكَانَ فِي سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى أَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ مُجَنَّداً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ بِالتُّرْسِ وَالسَّيْفِ وَرَمْيِ السِّهَامِ.

19 They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

١٩ وَقَدْ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ (وَعَشَائِرِ) يَطُورَ وَنَافِيشَ وَنُودَابَ،

20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.

٢٠ فَانْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَظَفِرُوا بِالْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَحُلَفَائِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَعَانُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي أَثْنَاءِ القِتَالِ وَاتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ.

21 They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

٢١ وَغَنِمُوا مَاشِيَتَهُمْ، فَنَهَبُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ جَمَلٍ، وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ، وَأَلْفَيْ حِمَارٍ، وَأَخَذُوا مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

22 For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

٢٢ وَقَدْ قُتِلَ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الْمَعْرَكَةَ كَانَتْ مَعْرَكَةَ اللهِ، وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي مَكَانِهِمْ حَتَّى زَمَانِ السَّبْيِ.

23 The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

٢٣ وَسَكَنَ أَبْنَاءُ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي الأَرْضِ وَانْتَشَرُوا مِنْ بَاشَانَ إِلَى بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ وَسَنِيرَ وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

٢٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِهِمْ: عَافَرُ وَيَشْعِي وَأَلِيئِيلُ وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيَرْمِيَا وَهُودَوْيَا وَيَحْدِيئِيلُ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ أَشِدَّاءُ ذَاعَ صِيتُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ عَائِلاتِهِمْ.

25 They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed before them.

٢٥ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ وَغَوَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ،

26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried away the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

٢٦ فَأَثَارَ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فُولَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ، الْمَعْرُوفَ بِتَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرَ، وَسَبَى سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى وَنَقَلَهُمْ إِلَى حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ وَهَارَا، وَنَهْرِ جُوزَانَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.
