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.

Now the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, (for he [was] the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birth-right was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birth-right.

2 Sepandan Juda te reyisi depase frè li yo e soti nan li, chèf la te parèt, malgre dwa nesans lan te pou Joseph),

For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him [came] the chief ruler; but the birth-right [was] Joseph's: )

7 Fanmi a Beéra yo, selon fanmi pa yo, nan istwa zansèt yo te Jeiel, chèf la ak Zechariah.

And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, [were] the chief, Jeiel, and 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 the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even to 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.

And eastward he inhabited to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

These [are] the children 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;

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, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, [were] four and forty thousand seven hundred and sixty, that went out to the war.

19 Yo te fè lagè kont Agarenyen yo, Jethur, Naphisch ak Nodab.

And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, 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 they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that [were] with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated by 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.

And these [were] the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, [and] heads of the house of their fathers.

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.

And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went astray after the gods of the people 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.

And 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 them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, to this day.
