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.
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 Sepandan Juda te reyisi depase frè li yo e soti nan li, chèf la te parèt, malgre dwa nesans lan te pou Joseph),
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 fis a Ruben yo, premye ne an Israël la: Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron ak Carmi.
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Fis a Joël yo: Schemaeja, fis pa li a, Gog, fis pa li a; Schimeï, fis pa li a;
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Michée, fis pa li a; Reaja, fis pa li a; Baal, fis pa li a.
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Beéra, fis pa li a ke Tilgath-Pilnéser, wa Assyrie a te mennen an kaptivite: li te chèf a Ribenit yo.
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Fanmi a Beéra yo, selon fanmi pa yo, nan istwa zansèt yo te Jeiel, chèf la ak Zechariah.
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 Epi Béla, fis a Azaz la, fis a Schéma a, fis a Joël la. Béla te rete Aroër e teritwa yo te jiska Neb ak Baal-Meon;
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 nan lès, li te rete jis rive nan antre dezè a soti nan rivyè Euphrate la, akoz bèt pa yo te tèlman ogmante nan peyi Galaad la.
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 Nan jou a Saül yo, yo te fè lagè avèk Agarenyen ki te tonbe pa men yo, jiskaske yo te vin rete nan tant pa yo toupatou nan tout teritwa lès a Galaad la.
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 Alò, fis a Gad yo te rete anfas yo nan peyi Basan an jis rive Salca.
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Joël te chèf e Schapham te dezyèm nan ak Jaenaï avèk Schaphath nan Basan.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 Fanmi pa yo selon lakay papa yo: Micaël, Meschullam, Schéba, Joraï, Zia ak Éber, sèt antou.
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 Sila yo se te fis a Abichaïl yo, fis a Huri a, fis a Jaroach la, fis a Galaad la, fis a Micaël la, fis a Jeschischaï a, fis a Jachdo a, fis a Buz la;
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 Achi, fis a Abdiel la, fis a Guni a, tèt lakay papa yo.
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 Yo te rete Galaad nan Basan, nan vil pa li yo ak nan tout teren patiraj yo nan Saron jis rive nan limit lizyè pa yo.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 Tout sila yo te anwole nan chif zansèt yo nan jou a Jotham yo, wa Juda a ak nan jou Jéroboam yo, wa Israël.
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
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 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 Yo te fè lagè kont Agarenyen yo, Jethur, Naphisch ak Nodab.
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 Yo te twouve soutyen kont yo e Agarenyen yo avèk tout sila ki te avèk yo te livre nan men yo; paske yo te kriye fò a Bondye nan batay la e Li te reponn lapriyè yo, akoz yo te mete konfyans yo nan Li.
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 Yo te pran tout twoupo bèt yo: senkant-mil chamo, de-san-senkant-mil mouton, de-mil bourik; epi san-mil òm.
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 Paske anpil moun te mouri, akoz lagè a te sòti nan Bondye. Epi yo te vin rete nan plas pa yo jis rive nan lè egzil la.
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 Alò, fis a mwatye tribi Manassé yo te rete nan peyi a; soti nan Bashan jis rive nan Baal-Hermon avèk Senir e Mòn Hermon yo te anpil.
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 Sila yo se te tèt lakay zansèt yo, menm Épher, Jischeï, Éliel, Azriel, Jérémie Hodavia ak Jachrenom; mesye gwo kouraj yo, chèf lakay zansèt pa yo.
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 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.
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 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 (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.
