1 Istwa 5
1 Men moun branch fanmi Woubenn, premye pitit Izrayèl la. Se Woubenn ki te premye pitit gason, men li te pèdi dwa premye pitit li paske li te kouche ak yonn nan madanm papa l' yo. Se pitit Jozèf yo, yon lòt pitit Izrayèl, yo te bay dwa premye pitit la. Tansèlman, yo pa t' pote non Jozèf la sou rejis tankou premye pitit.
Also, there were the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. For indeed, he was his firstborn, but when he had violated the bed of his father, his right as firstborn was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, and he was not reputed as firstborn.
2 Lèfini, se branch fanmi Jida a ki te vin pi fò. Se li menm ki bay yon chèf pou gouvènen tout branch fanmi yo. Men tout jan, se Jozèf yo te bay dwa premye pitit la.
Moreover, Judah, who was strongest among his brothers, from his stock leaders sprung up, but the right of firstborn was reputed to Joseph.
3 Woubenn, pi gran nan pitit gason Izrayèl yo, te gen kat pitit gason: Enòk, Palou, Ezwon ak Kami.
So then, the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 Joèl te papa Chemaja, Chemaja te papa Gòg, Gòg te papa Chimeyi,
The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Chimeyi te papa Mika, Mika te papa Reaja, Reaja te papa Baal.
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Baal te papa Bera, yonn nan chèf fanmi Woubenn yo. Se li menm Tiglat-Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, te depòte.
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, led away captive, and he was a leader in the tribe of Reuben.
7 Men lis lòt chèf fanmi Woubenn yo dapre rejis kote yo te ekri non yo. N'ap konmanse ak pi ansyen an. Te gen Jeyèl, Zakari,
Now his brothers and all his kindred, when they were being numbered according to their families, had as leaders Jeiel and Zechariah.
8 Bela, pitit Aza, pitit pitit Chema nan branch fanmi Joèl. Se yo ki te rete nan zòn Awoyè, rive Nebo ak Baal Meon sou nan nò.
Now Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baalmeon.
9 Yo te gen anpil mouton ak kabrit nan tout peyi Galarad la. Se konsa yo pran tout peyi a depi bò dezè a rive jouk bò larivyè Lefrat bò solèy leve.
And he lived toward the eastern region, as far as the entrance to the wilderness and the river Euphrates. For indeed, they possessed a great number of cattle in the land of Gilead.
10 Sou rèy wa Sayil, moun Woubenn yo atake moun Aga yo. Yo bat yo, yo pran tout tè moun yo ki sou bò solèy leve nan peyi Galarad.
Then, in the days of Saul, they battled against the Hagarites and put them to death. And they lived in place of them, in their dwellings, throughout the entire region that looks to the east of Gilead.
11 Branch fanmi Gad la te rete sou bò nò moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, nan peyi Bazan, rive Salka sou bò solèy leve.
Truly, the sons of Gad lived in the opposite region from them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Joèl te vin an premye. Apre li te gen Chafam, Janayi ak Chafat nan peyi Bazan.
Joel the head, and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
13 Lòt moun nan fanmi an te fè sèt branch. Men non branch fanmi yo, dapre non zansèt yo: Mikayèl, Mechoulam, Cheba, Jorayi, Jakan, Zya ak Ebè.
Truly, their brothers, according to the houses of their kindred, were: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
14 Yo tout te pitit Abikayil ki te pitit Ouri. Ouri te pitit Jawoja ki te pitit Galarad. Galarad te pitit Mikayèl ki te pitit Jechichayi. Jechichayi te pitit Jakdo ki te pitit Bouz.
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,
15 Aki, pitit Abdyèl, pitit pitit Gouni, te zansèt tout fanmi sa yo.
along with their brothers, the sons of Abdiel, the son of Guni, the leader of the house, in their families,
16 Yo te rete nan peyi Bazan ak nan peyi Galarad, nan lavil yo ak nan tout savann patiraj peyi Sawon an.
And they lived in Gilead, and in Bashan and its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as the borders.
17 Se sou rèy Jotam, wa peyi Jida, ak Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl, yo te fè rejis sa yo.
All these were numbered in the days of Jotham, the king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the king of Israel:
18 Branch fanmi Woubenn lan, branch fanmi Gad la ak mwatye branch fanmi Manase a te gen antou karannkatmil sètsanswasant (44.760) sòlda, tout vanyan gason, ki konn sèvi ak pwotèj an fè ak nepe, ak banza. Yo te abil nan fè lagè.
the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, men of war, carrying shields and swords, and bending the bow, and trained for battle, forty-four thousand and seven hundred sixty, advancing to the fight.
19 Yo fè lagè ak moun Aga yo ki te rete lavil Jetou, lavil Nafich ak lavil Nodab.
They struggled against the Hagarites, yet truly the Jetureans, and Naphish, and Nodab offered assistance to them.
20 Yo pa t' pou kont yo nan batay la. Yo te mete konfyans yo nan Bondye. Pandan batay la, yo lapriyè mande l' konkou. Bondye reponn yo, li lage tout moun Aga yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te avèk moun Aga yo nan men yo.
And the Hagarites were delivered into their hands, and all who were with them. For they called upon God while they did battle. And he heeded them, because they had trusted in him.
21 Yo pran senkantmil (50.000) chamo, desansenkantmil (250.000) mouton ak kabrit, demil (2.000) bourik nan men lènmi yo. Yo fè sanmil (100.000) prizonye.
And they seized all that they possessed, of camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand lives.
22 Yo touye anpil ladan lènmi yo paske batay la se Bondye menm ki t'ap mennen l' pou yo. Se konsa yo rete nan zòn sa a jouk jou yo depòte yo.
And many fell down wounded. For it was a war of the Lord. And they lived in place of them, until the transmigration.
23 Moun mwatye branch fanmi Manase ki sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden an te rete nan zòn ki soti Bazan moute nan nò rive Baalèmòn, lavil Sini ak mòn Emon. Yo te peple anpil.
Also, the sons of the one half tribe of Manasseh possessed the land, from the parts of Bashan as far as Baal, Hermon, and Sanir, and Mount Hermon. For certainly, their number was immense.
24 Men non chèf fanmi yo: Efè, Icheyi, Eliyèl, Azryèl, Jeremi, Odavya ak Jadyèl. Mesye sa yo te vanyan sòlda, chèf fanmi yo. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
And these were leaders of the house of their kindred: Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, very valiant and powerful men, and renowned leaders in their families.
25 Men, pèp la te vire do bay Bondye zansèt yo a, y' al kouri fè sèvis pou bondye lòt nasyon Bondye te disparèt pou fè plas pou yo.
But they abandoned the God of their fathers, and they fornicated after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God took away before them.
26 Se poutèt sa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la fè Poul, wa peyi Lasiri a ki te rele Tiglat-Pilesè tou, anvayi peyi yo a, depòte moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ak moun mwatye branch fanmi Manase yo. Li mennen yo lavil Ala, lavil Abò, lavil Ara ak bò larivyè Gozan kote yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
And so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, the king of the Assyrians, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser, the king of Assur. And he took away Reuben, and Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh. And he led them to Halah, and to Habor, and to Hara, and to the river of Gozan, even to this day.
