And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel — for he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, yet not so that he was to be reckoned in the genealogy as first-born.
2 Ọ bụ ezie na Juda dị ike karịa ụmụnna ya, bụrụkwa eziokwu na onyendu si na Juda pụta, maọbụ Josef ka e nyere oke ruuru ọkpara.
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came he that is the prince; but the birthright was Joseph's —

The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, as many as were valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty and four thousand seven hundred and threescore, that were able to go forth to war.

And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and He was entreated of them, because they put their trust in Him.
21 Ha ji ike chịkọrọ anụ ụlọ ndị Haga, dị iri puku ịnyịnya kamel ise, narị puku atụrụ abụọ na iri puku ise, puku ịnyịnya ibu abụọ. Ha dọkpụkwara narị puku ndị mmadụ nʼagha.

And these were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.

And they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and went astray after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
