1 Chroniques 5
1 Voici les fils de Ruben; il était le premier-né; mais parce qu'il s'était introduit dans la couche de son père, Jacob ayant donné sa bénédiction à son fils Joseph, le droit d'aînesse de Ruben ne lui était plus compté.
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.
2 Car Juda était fort parmi ses frères; le chef est sorti de lui, la bénédiction est restée à Joseph.
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.
3 Fils de Ruben, premier-né d'Israël: Enoch, Phallus, Asron et Charmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Fils de Johel: Sémeï et Banaïas son fils. Fils de Gug, fils de Sémeï,
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 Micha, son fils Recha, son fils Johel,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 Son fils Behel, qu'emmena Thelgath-Phalnasar, roi des Assyriens; il était le chef des Rubénites.
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.
7 Et, avec lui, furent emmenés ses frères, selon le dénombrement qui en fut fait par familles; les chefs de ces familles étaient: Johel, Zacharie,
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,
8 Et Balec, fils d'Azuz, fils de Sama, fils de Johel. Balec demeurait en Aroer, et vers Nebo et Belmasson.
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].
9 Et il s'était étendu à l'orient jusqu'au désert, du côté de l'Euphrate, parce qu'il avait de nombreux troupeaux en la terre de Galaad.
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].
10 Et, sous le règne de Saül, ils furent en guerre avec leurs voisins, et ceux qui habitaient sous des tentes tombèrent entre leurs mains, et ils maîtrisèrent toute la contrée à l'orient de Galaad.
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].
11 Les fils de Gad, en face, demeurèrent en la terre de Basan jusqu'à Sela.
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 Le premier-né fut Johel; le second Saphan; puis, venaient Jania, le scribe de Basan,
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 Et ses frères, par familles paternelles: Michel, Mosollam, Sébée, Joré, Joachan, Zué et Obed; sept.
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 Les fils d'Abihaïl, fils d'Uri, fils d'Isaïe, fils de Galaad, fils de Michel, fils de Jésé, fils de Jeddé, fils de Bas,
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.
15 Frère du fils d'Abdiel, fils de Guni, chef de la maison paternelle,
Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
16 Habitaient en Galaad, en Basan, en leurs bourgs et en tout le territoire de Saron jusqu'à ses limites.
The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 Leur dénombrement fut fait du temps de Joatham, roi de Juda, et de Jéroboam, roi d'Israël.
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.
18 Les fils de Ruben, Gad et la demi-tribu de Manassé comptaient quarante- quatre mille sept cent soixante hommes, dans la force de l'âge, portant glaive et bouclier, tendant l'arc, exercés à la guerre, propres à marcher au combat.
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.
19 Et ils furent en guerre avec les Agaréens, les Ituréens, les Naphiséens et les Nadabéens.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 Et ils l'emportèrent sur eux. Et les Agaréens, avec toutes leurs tentes, tombèrent entre leurs mains, parce que les vainqueurs avaient invoqué Dieu pendant la bataille; et Dieu les exauça, parce qu'ils avaient espéré en lui.
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.
21 Et ils prirent tout ce que les autres possédaient: cinquante mille chameaux, deux cent cinquante mille brebis, deux mille ânes; et la vie de cent mille hommes.
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.
22 Car une grande multitude de blessés succomba, parce que cette guerre s'était faite selon la volonté de Dieu, et les vainqueurs habitèrent le territoire des vaincus Jusqu'à la captivité.
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.
23 Et la demi-tribu de Manassé s'étendit de Basan Baal, Hermon, Sanir et la montagne d'Hermon; ses fils se multiplièrent dans le Liban.
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.
24 Et voici leurs chefs, par familles: Opher, Sei, Eliel, Jérémie, Oduïa et Jediel; hommes riches et renommés, chefs des familles de la demi-tribu.
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.
25 Et ils répudièrent le Dieu de leurs pères, et ils se prostituèrent à la suite des dieux de la terre que le Seigneur avait effacés devant leur face.
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!
26 Et le Dieu d'Israël excita l'esprit de Phaloch (Phul), roi d'Assur, et l'esprit de Thelgath-Phalnasar, roi d'Assur. Ce roi enleva Ruben, et Gad, et la demi-tribu de Manassé, et il les transporta en Haach, en Hahor, et sur le fleuve Gozan, où ils sont restés jusqu'à nos jours.
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.
