歴代誌Ⅰ 5
1 イスラエルの長子ルベンの子等は左のごとしルベンは長子なりしがその父の床を瀆ししによりてその長子の權はイスラエルの子ヨセフの子等に與へらる然れども系譜は長子の權にしたがひて記すべきに非ず
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 he had defiled his father's bed. That is why Reuben is not listed in the genealogy according to birthright,
2 そはユダその諸兄弟に勝る者となりて君たる者その中より出ればなり但し長子の權はヨセフに屬す
and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)
3 即ちイスラエルの長子ルベンの子等はハノク、パル、ヘヅロン、カルミ
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

and Beerah his son, the one whom Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria took into exile. He (Beerah) was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 彼の兄弟等はその宗族に依りその歴代の系譜によれば左のごとし長ヱイエルおよびゼカリヤ

8 ベラ等なりベラはアザズの子シマの孫ヨエルの曾孫なりかれアロエルに住みて地をネボ、バアルメオンにまでおよぼししが
and Bela of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. They lived from Aroer to Nebo and Baal Meon.
9 ギレアデの地にてその家畜殖増ければまた地を東の方ユフラテ河の此方なる荒野の極端にまでおよぼせり
On the eastern side they expanded into the land right up to the edge of the desert that continues to the Euphrates River, because their flocks had grown so big in Gilead.
10 またサウルの時にハガリ人と戰爭してこれを打破りギレアデの東の全部なる彼らの幕屋に住たり
In the time of Saul they went to war against the Hagrites, defeating them. They took over the places where the Hagrites had lived in all the regions east of Gilead.

They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon all the way to their borders.
17 是等はみなユダの王ヨタムの世とイスラエルの王ヤラベアムの世に系譜に載たるなり
They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 ルベンの子孫とガド人とマナセの半支派には出て戰ふべき者四萬四千七百六十人あり皆勇士にして能く楯と矛とを執り善く弓を彎きかつ善戰ふ者なり
The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 battle-ready strong warriors capable of using shields and swords and bows.
19 彼等ハガリ人およびヱトル、ネフシ、ノダブ等と戰爭しけるが
They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 助力をかうむりて攻撃たればハガリ人および之と偕なりし者等みな彼らの手におちいれり是は彼ら陣中にて神を呼びこれを賴みしによりて神これを聽いれたまひしが故なり
They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
21 かくて彼らその家畜を奪ひとりしに駱駝五萬 羊二十五萬 驢馬二千あり人十萬ありき
They captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
22 またころされて倒れたる者衆しその戰爭神に由るがゆゑなり而して彼らはこれが地に代りて住その擄移さるる時におよべり
and many others were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there until the exile.
23 マナセの半支派の人々はこの地に住み殖蔓りてつひにバシヤンよりバアルヘルモン、セニルおよびヘルモン山まで地をおよぼせり
The half-tribe of Manasseh had grown very large. They lived in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, (otherwise known as Senir and Mount Hermon).
24 その宗家の長は左のごとし即ちエペル、イシ、エリエル、アズリエル、ヱレミヤ、ホダヤ、ヤデエル是みなその宗家の長にして名ある大勇士なりき
These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of their families.
25 彼等その先祖等の神にむかひて罪を犯し曾て彼等の前に神の滅ぼしたまひし國の民等の神を慕ひてこれと姦淫したれば
But they were unfaithful to the God of their forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that God had destroyed before them.
26 イスラエルの神アッスリヤの王ブルの心を振興しまたアッスリヤの王テグラテビレセルの心を振興したまへり彼つひにルベン人とガド人とマナセの半支派とを擄へゆきこれをハウラとハボルとハラとゴザンの河の邊とに移せり彼等は今日まで其處にあり
So the God of Israel encouraged of Pul, king of Assyria, (otherwise known as Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), to invade the land. He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
