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—now Reuben was Israel's firstborn, but his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because Reuben had defiled his father's couch. So he is not recorded as being the oldest son.

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 soldiers trained for war, who carried shield and sword, and who drew the bow.
19 Yo te fè lagè kont Agarenyen yo, Jethur, Naphisch ak Nodab.
They attacked the Hagrites, 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.
They received divine help against them. In this way, the Hagrites and all who were with them were defeated. This was because the Israelites cried out to God in the battle, and he responded to 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 captured their animals, including fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, two thousand donkeys, and 100,000 men.

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 their ancestors' God. Instead, they worshiped 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.
The God of Israel stirred up Pul king of Assyria (also called Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria). He took into exile the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
