Esia tae womeŋlɔ eƒe ŋkɔ be eyae nye ŋgɔgbevi le dzidzimegbalẽ la me abe ale si wòle be wòanɔ ene o.
These were the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, because Reuben defiled his father’s bed. So he is not reckoned according to birthright.
2 Togbɔ be Yosef va zu ŋgɔgbevi hã la, Yuda va nye hlɔ̃ sesẽ, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Israel eye Yuda mee fiavi aɖe do tso.
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.

9 Yoel nye lãnyila; enyi woƒe lãwo le gbegbe la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo heyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la gbɔ elabena nyi geɖewo nɔ Gileadnyigba dzi.
They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead.
10 Le Fia Saul ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Ruben ƒe viwo ɖu Hagritɔwo dzi eye woge ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo me le Gilead ƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo dzi.
During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands, and they occupied the homes of the Hagrites throughout the region east of Gilead.
11 Gad ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ woƒe kasa le anyigba si tso Basan yi keke Saleka:
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Yoel nye wo dometɔ xɔŋkɔtɔ eye Safam, Yanai kple Safat kplɔe ɖo.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.

Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.

Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.

All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.

The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors—valiant men who carried the shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for battle.
19 Woho aʋa ɖe Hagritɔwo, Yeturitɔwo, Nafisitɔwo kple Nodabitɔwo ŋu.
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 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.
And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.
21 Woƒe afunyinuwo nye kposɔ akpe blaatɔ̃, alẽ akpe alafa eve blaatɔ̃, tedzi akpe eve kple ame akpe alafa ɖeka.
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 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.
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 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.
Now the people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount Hermon).

These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.
25 Ke womesubɔ wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la o, ke boŋ wosubɔ ame siwo Mawu tsrɔ̃ la ƒe legbawo.
But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 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.
So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
