Παραλειπομένων Αʹ 5
1 καὶ υἱοὶ Ρουβην πρωτοτόκου Ισραηλ ὅτι οὗτος ὁ πρωτότοκος καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν εὐλογίαν αὐτοῦ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Ιωσηφ υἱῷ Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἐγενεαλογήθη εἰς πρωτοτόκια
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 ὅτι Ιουδας δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ιωσηφ
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 υἱοὶ Ρουβην πρωτοτόκου Ισραηλ Ενωχ καὶ Φαλλους Αρσων καὶ Χαρμι
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 υἱοὶ Ιωηλ Σεμεϊ καὶ Βαναια υἱὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ Γουγ υἱοῦ Σεμεϊ
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Μιχα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Ρηχα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Βααλ
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Βεηρα ὃν μετῴκισεν Θαγλαθφαλνασαρ βασιλεὺς Ασσουρ οὗτος ἄρχων τῶν Ρουβην
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ τῇ πατριᾷ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς καταλοχισμοῖς αὐτῶν κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν ὁ ἄρχων Ιωηλ καὶ Ζαχαρια
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 καὶ Βαλεκ υἱὸς Οζουζ υἱὸς Σαμα υἱὸς Ιωηλ οὗτος κατῴκησεν ἐν Αροηρ καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαυ καὶ Βεελμαων
and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.
9 καὶ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς κατῴκησεν ἕως ἐρχομένων τῆς ἐρήμου ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου ὅτι κτήνη αὐτῶν πολλὰ ἐν γῇ Γαλααδ
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 καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Σαουλ ἐποίησαν πόλεμον πρὸς τοὺς παροίκους καὶ ἔπεσον ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν κατοικοῦντες ἐν σκηναῖς ἕως πάντες κατ’ ἀνατολὰς τῆς Γαλααδ
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 υἱοὶ Γαδ κατέναντι αὐτῶν κατῴκησαν ἐν τῇ Βασαν ἕως Σελχα
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Ιωηλ ὁ πρωτότοκος καὶ Σαφαμ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ Ιανι ὁ γραμματεὺς ἐν Βασαν
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν Μιχαηλ Μοσολλαμ καὶ Σεβεε καὶ Ιωρεε καὶ Ιαχαν καὶ Ζουε καὶ Ωβηδ ἑπτά
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Αβιχαιλ υἱοῦ Ουρι υἱοῦ Ιδαι υἱοῦ Γαλααδ υἱοῦ Μιχαηλ υἱοῦ Ισαι υἱοῦ Ιουρι υἱοῦ Ζαβουχαμ
These were the sons of Abihail 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.
15 υἱοῦ Αβδιηλ υἱοῦ Γουνι ἄρχων οἴκου πατριῶν
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 κατῴκουν ἐν Γαλααδ ἐν Βασαν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ περίχωρα Σαρων ἕως ἐξόδου
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 πάντων ὁ καταλοχισμὸς ἐν ἡμέραις Ιωαθαμ βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Ιεροβοαμ βασιλέως Ισραηλ
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 υἱοὶ Ρουβην καὶ Γαδ καὶ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασση ἐξ υἱῶν δυνάμεως ἄνδρες αἴροντες ἀσπίδας καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ τείνοντες τόξον καὶ δεδιδαγμένοι πόλεμον τεσσαράκοντα καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἐκπορευόμενοι εἰς παράταξιν
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 καὶ ἐποίουν πόλεμον μετὰ τῶν Αγαρηνῶν καὶ Ιτουραίων καὶ Ναφισαίων καὶ Ναδαβαίων
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 καὶ κατίσχυσαν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδόθησαν εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν οἱ Αγαραῖοι καὶ πάντα τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν ὅτι πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἐβόησαν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἤλπισαν ἐπ’ αὐτόν
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 καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν καμήλους πεντακισχιλίας καὶ προβάτων διακοσίας πεντήκοντα χιλιάδας ὄνους δισχιλίους καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνδρῶν ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 ὅτι τραυματίαι πολλοὶ ἔπεσον ὅτι παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ πόλεμος καὶ κατῴκησαν ἀντ’ αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 καὶ οἱ ἡμίσεις φυλῆς Μανασση κατῴκησαν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἀπὸ Βασαν ἕως Βααλερμων καὶ Σανιρ καὶ ὄρος Αερμων καὶ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ αὐτοὶ ἐπλεονάσθησαν
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).
24 καὶ οὗτοι ἀρχηγοὶ οἴκου πατριῶν αὐτῶν Οφερ καὶ Ισεϊ καὶ Ελιηλ καὶ Εσδριηλ καὶ Ιερμια καὶ Ωδουια καὶ Ιεδιηλ ἄνδρες ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοί ἄρχοντες τῶν οἴκων πατριῶν αὐτῶν
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 καὶ ἠθέτησαν ἐν θεῷ πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπόρνευσαν ὀπίσω θεῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς οὓς ἐξῆρεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν
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 καὶ ἐπήγειρεν ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ τὸ πνεῦμα Φαλωχ βασιλέως Ασσουρ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα Θαγλαθφαλνασαρ βασιλέως Ασσουρ καὶ μετῴκισεν τὸν Ρουβην καὶ τὸν Γαδδι καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασση καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Χαλαχ καὶ Χαβωρ καὶ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Γωζαν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
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.
