1 Chroniques 5
1 Or les enfants de Ruben, le premier-né d'Israël (car il était le premier-né; mais après qu'il eut souillé le lit de son père, son droit d'aînesse fut donné aux enfants de Joseph fils d'Israël; non cependant pour être [mis le premier] dans la généalogie selon le droit d'aînesse;
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 fut le plus puissant entre ses frères, et de lui sont sortis les Conducteurs; mais le droit d'aînesse fut donné 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 Les enfants, [dis-je], de Ruben premier-né d'Israël, furent, Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron, et Carmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Les enfants de Joël furent Sémaia son fils, Gog son fils, Simhi son fils.
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 Mica son fils, Réaia son fils, Bahal son fils,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 Bééra son fils, qui fut transporté par Tiglat-Piletséer Roi des Assyriens; c'est lui qui était le principal 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 ses frères selon leurs familles, quand ils furent mis dans la généalogie selon leurs parentages, avaient pour Chefs Jehiël, et Zécaria.
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 Bélah fils de Hazaz, fils de Samah, fils de Johel, habitait depuis Haroher jusqu'à Necò et Bahal-méhon.
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 Ensuite il habita du côté de l'Orient jusqu'à l'entrée du désert, depuis le fleuve d'Euphrate; car son bétail s'était multiplié au pays 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 du temps de Saül ils firent la guerre contre les Hagaréniens, qui moururent par leurs mains, et ils habitèrent dans leurs tentes, en tout le pays qui regarde vers 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 Et les enfants de Gad habitèrent près d'eux, au pays de Basan, jusqu'à Salca.
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 Joël fut le premier Chef, et Saphan le second après lui, puis Jahnaï, puis Saphat en Basan.
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 Et leurs frères selon la maison de leurs pères, [furent] sept, Micaël, Mesullam, Sébah, Joraï, Jahcan, Ziah, et Héber.
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 Ceux-ci furent les enfants d'Abihaïl fils de Huri, fils de Jaroah, fils de Galaad, fils de Micaël, fils de Jésisaï, fils de Jahdo, fils de Buz.

The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 Tous ceux-ci furent mis dans la généalogie du temps de Jotham Roi de Juda, et du temps 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 Il y eut des enfants de Ruben, et de ceux de Gad, et de la demi-Tribu de Manassé, d'entre les vaillants hommes, portant le bouclier et l'épée, tirant de l'arc, et propres à la guerre, quarante-quatre mille sept cent soixante, marchant en bataille;
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 Qui firent la guerre contre les Hagaréniens, contre Jéthur, Naphis, et Nodab.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 Et ils furent aidés contr'eux, de sorte que les Hagaréniens, et tous ceux qui étaient avec eux, furent livrés entre leurs mains, parce qu'ils crièrent à Dieu quand ils combattaient, et il fut fléchi par leurs prières, à cause qu'ils avaient mis leur espérance 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 Ainsi ils prirent leur bétail, consistant en cinquante mille chameaux, deux cent cinquante mille brebis, deux mille ânes, et cent mille personnes.
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 Et il en tomba morts un fort grand nombre, parce que la bataille venait de Dieu; et ils habitèrent là en leur place, jusqu'au temps qu'ils furent transportés.
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 Les enfants de la demi-Tribu de Manassé habitèrent aussi en ce pays-là, et s'étendirent depuis Basan jusqu'à Bahal-hermon et à Sénir, qui est la montagne de Hermon.
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 ce sont ici les Chefs de la maison de leurs pères; Hépher, Jisehi, Eliël, Hazriël, Jérémie, Hodavia, et Jacdiël, hommes forts et vaillants, gens de réputation, et Chefs de la maison de leurs pères.
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 Mais ils péchèrent contre le Dieu de leurs pères, et paillardèrent après les dieux des peuples du pays, que l'Eternel avait détruits devant eux.
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 émut l'esprit de Pul Roi des Assyriens, et l'esprit de Tiglath-Pilhéser Roi des Assyriens, qui transporta les Rubénites, et les Gadites, et la demi-Tribu de Manassé, et les emmena à Chalach, à Chabor, à Hara, et au fleuve de Gozan, [où ils sont demeurés] jusqu'à ce jour.
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.
