1 Istwa 5
1 Alò, fis a Ruben yo, premye ne an Israël la (paske se te premye ne li te ye, men akoz li te konwonpi kabann papa li, dwa nesans li te bay a fis a Joseph yo, fis Israël la; epi pou sa, li pa anwole nan istwa desandan yo selon dwa nesans lan.
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.

18 Fis a Ruben yo ak Gadit yo avèk mwatye Manassé yo, mesye a gwo kouraj yo, mesye ki te pote boukliye avèk nepe yo, te tire avèk banza e yo te fò nan batay, karant-kat-mil-sèt-san-swasant moun ki te ale nan gè a.
The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, able to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty that were able to go out to war.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.
21 Yo te pran tout twoupo bèt yo: senkant-mil chamo, de-san-senkant-mil mouton, de-mil bourik; epi san-mil òm.
They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

25 Men yo te aji avèk trayizon kont Bondye a papa yo a e te jwe pwostitiye a nan kouri dèyè dye a pèp peyi ke Bondye te detwi devan yo a.
They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed before them.
26 Pou sa, Bondye Israël la te chofe lespri a Pul, wa Assyrie a, menm lespri a Tilgath-Pilnéser, wa Assyrie a e li te pote yo ale an egzil, menm Ribenit yo, Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé yo e te fè yo rive nan Chalach, nan Chabor, nan Hara ak nan flèv Gozan nan, kote yo rete menm jis rive jodi a.
So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried away the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
