1 Tawarikh 5
1 Ruben adalah anak sulung Yakub. Tetapi karena Ruben telah menodai kehormatan salah seorang selir ayahnya, maka haknya sebagai anak sulung dicabut dan diberikan kepada Yusuf. Meskipun begitu yang terkuat dari antara keturunan Yakub bukan suku Yusuf melainkan suku Yehuda. Bahkan yang pertama-tama menjadi raja seluruh umat Israel adalah dari suku Yehuda itu.
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.
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 Ruben anak sulung Yakub, mempunyai empat anak laki-laki: Henokh, Palu, Hezron dan Karmi.
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Inilah urutan keturunan Yoel: Semaya, Gog, Simei, Mikha, Reaya, Baal dan Beera. Beera adalah pemimpin suku Ruben ketika ia ditangkap oleh Tiglat-Pileser raja Asyur, dan dibawa ke pembuangan.
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Dalam silsilah tercatat juga kepala-kepala kaum yang berikut ini dalam suku Ruben: Yeiel, Zakharia,
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 dan Bela anak Azas, cucu Sema dari kaum Yoel. Suku Ruben tinggal di Aroer dan di wilayah yang mulai dari Aroer ke arah utara sampai ke Nebo dan 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 Mereka mempunyai banyak sekali ternak di daerah Gilead. Karena itu, mereka menempati wilayah sebelah timur sampai ke padang gurun yang terbentang sejauh Sungai Efrat.
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 Pada zaman Raja Saul, suku Ruben menyerang dan mengalahkan orang Hagri di sebelah timur Gilead, lalu menduduki negeri itu.
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 Di sebelah utara wilayah suku Ruben tinggal suku Gad di tanah Basan sampai sejauh Salkha di sebelah timur.
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Dari suku Gad itu Yoel adalah leluhur kaum yang terkemuka, dan Safam adalah leluhur kaum nomor dua. Yaenai dan Safat adalah leluhur kaum-kaum lainnya di Basan.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 Orang-orang lain dalam suku Gad termasuk dalam tujuh kaum yang berikut ini: Mikhael, Mesulam, Syeba, Yorai, Yakan, Ziya dan Eber.
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 Mereka keturunan Abihail anak Huri. Urutan silsilah mereka dari bawah ke atas adalah sebagai berikut: Abihail, Huri, Yaroah, Gilead, Mikhael, Yesisai, Yahdo, Bus.
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 Kepala kaum-kaum itu adalah Ahi anak Abdiel, cucu Guni.
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 Mereka tinggal di wilayah Basan dan Gilead, dan kota-kota di wilayah itu serta di seluruh padang rumput di Saron.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 Silsilah ini dibuat pada zaman Yotam raja Yehuda, dan Yerobeam raja Israel.
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Di dalam suku Ruben, Gad dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Yordan ada 44.760 prajurit yang terlatih dan berpengalaman dalam menggunakan perisai, pedang dan busur.
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 Mereka berperang melawan suku Yetur, Nafis dan Nodab, yaitu suku-suku di dalam bangsa Hagri.
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 Prajurit-prajurit itu percaya kepada Allah dan minta tolong kepada-Nya, maka Allah mengabulkan permintaan mereka dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka atas orang-orang Hagri itu dan sekutu mereka.
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 Karena peperangan itu terjadi atas kehendak Allah, maka banyak musuh yang mereka bunuh. Mereka juga menawan 100.000 orang, dan merampas 50.000 unta, 250.000 domba dan 2.000 keledai. Setelah itu mereka menetap di daerah itu sampai pada masa bangsa Israel ditawan dan dibawa ke pembuangan.
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 Sebagian suku Manasye tinggal di wilayah Basan sampai ke utara sejauh Baal-Hermon, Senir dan Gunung Hermon. Mereka makin lama makin banyak.
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 Inilah kepala-kepala kaum mereka: Hefer, Yisei, Eliel, Azriel, Yeremia, Hodawya dan Yahdiel. Mereka semua adalah prajurit-prajurit yang perkasa.
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 Orang Israel tidak setia kepada Allah yang disembah leluhur mereka. Mereka meninggalkan Dia dan beribadat kepada dewa-dewa bangsa-bangsa yang telah diusir oleh Allah dari negeri Kanaan.
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 Karena itu Allah menggerakkan hati Pul raja Asyur, maka pergilah ia menyerbu negeri itu. Pul juga dikenal sebagai Tiglat-Pileser. Lalu suku Ruben, Gad dan suku Manasye yang di sebelah timur Yordan diangkutnya sebagai tawanan dan dibuang ke Halah, Habor, Hara dan ke suatu tempat dekat Sungai Gozan. Di sana mereka tinggal dan menetap sampai hari ini.
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.
