And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for, he, was the firstborn, but because he defiled the couch of his father, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, —and he is not to be enrolled in the place of firstborn,
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 over his brethren, so that, even the prince, is from him, —although, the birthright, pertaineth to Joseph;
3 Ruben, ọkpara Izrel mụrụ ndị ikom ndị a: Hanok, na Palu, na Hezrọn, na Kami.

and his brethren, by his families, in the genealogical registering, by their generations, —the chief Jeiel, and Zechariah;

and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, —he, dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo, and Baal-meon;

and, eastward, dwelt he as far as the entering in of the desert, from the river Euphrates, —because, their cattle, were multiplied in the land of Gilead;
10 Nʼoge Sọl bụ eze Izrel, ụmụ Ruben meriri ndị Haga nʼagha, bichie ala ha niile dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Gilead.
and, in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand, —so they dwelt in their tents, over all the face of the land east of Gilead.
11 Ụmụ Gad bi nʼakụkụ ha site na Bashan ruo Saleka.
And, the sons of Gad, over against them, dwelt, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:

17 E denyere aha ndị a niile nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ nʼoge Jotam bụ eze Juda, na nʼoge Jeroboam bụ eze Izrel.
All of them, were genealogically registered in the days of Jotham king of Judah, —and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

the sons of Reuben and Gad, and half tribe of Manasseh, of the sons of valour, men bearing shield and sword and bending the bow, and instructed in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, ready to go forth in the host.
19 Ha busoro ndị Haga, na Jetua, na Nafish na ndị Nodab agha.
So they made war with the Hagrites, —and Jetur and Naphish, and Nodab;
20 E nyeere ha aka ibuso ha agha, Chineke nyefere ndị Haga na ndị niile na-enyere ha aka nʼaka ha, nʼihi na ha kpọkuru ya nʼoge ọgụ ahụ. Ọ zara ekpere ha nʼihi na ha tụkwasịrị ya obi.
and were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all that were with them were delivered into their hand, —for, unto God, made they outcry, in the war, and he suffered himself to be entreated by 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 they captured their cattle—their camels, fifty thousand, and, flocks, two hundred and fifty thousand, and, asses, two thousand, —and, persons of men, a hundred thousand;
22 E gbukwara ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼihi na agha ahụ bụ nke Chineke lụrụ nʼonwe ya. Ha bichiri ala ahụ tutu ruo mgbe a dọọrọ Izrel niile nʼagha.
for, many slain, fell, for, of God, was the war, —and they dwelt in their stead, until the captivity.
23 Ọkara ebo Manase dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ; ha nwere ebe obibi ha site nʼala Bashan ruo Baal-Hemon, ya bụ, ruo Senia, ugwu Hemon.
And, the sons of the half tribe of Manasseh, dwelt in the land, —from Bashan, as far as to Baal-hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon, they, were multiplied.
24 Ndịisi ikwu ha niile bụ ndị a: Efaa, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremaya, Hodavaya na Jadiel. Ndị a niile bụ dimkpa nʼagha, ndị a ma ama na ndịisi ezinaụlọ.
And, these, were the heads of their ancestral house, —Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, men who were heroes of valour, men of renown, chiefs to their ancestral house.
25 Ma ha bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Chineke nna nna ha. Kama ha merụrụ onwe ha site nʼife chi niile nke ndị bi nʼala ahụ na mbụ, bụ ndị Chineke lara nʼiyi nʼihu ha.
But they dealt unfaithfully with the God of their fathers, —and went unchastely after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed from before them;
26 Nʼihi nke a, Chineke nke Izrel kpaliri mmụọ Pul, bụ eze Asịrịa (ya bụ Tiglat-Pilesa eze ndị Asịrịa), ka o bilie megide ndị Ruben, ndị Gad na ọkara ebo Manase, dọta ha nʼagha, buru ha gaa Hala, na Hoboa, na Hara na osimiri Gozan, ebe ha nọ ruo taa.
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 took them away captive, even the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, —and brought them in unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.
