I Paralipomenon 5
1 Filii quoque Ruben primogeniti Israel (Ipse quippe fuit primogenitus eius: sed cum violasset thorum patris sui, data sunt primogenita eius filiis Ioseph filii Israel, et non est ille reputatus in primogenitum.
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.
2 Porro Iudas, qui erat fortissimus inter fratres suos, de stirpe eius principes germinati sunt: primogenita autem reputata sunt Ioseph.)
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 filii ergo Ruben primogeniti Israel: Enoch, et Phallu, Esron, et Carmi.
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Filii Ioel: Samia filius eius, Gog filius eius, Semei filius eius,
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Micha filius eius, Reia filius eius, Baal filius eius,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Beera filius eius, quem captivum duxit Thelgathphalnasar rex Assyriorum, et fuit princeps in tribu Ruben.
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Fratres autem eius, et universa cognatio eius, quando numerabantur per familias suas, habuerunt principes Iehiel, et Zachariam.
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 Porro Bala filius Azaz, filii Samma, filii Ioel, ipse habitavit in Aroer usque ad Nebo, et Beelmeon.
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 Contra orientalem quoque plagam habitavit usque ad introitum eremi, et flumen Euphraten. Multum quippe iumentorum numerum possidebant in Terra Galaad.
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 In diebus autem Saul praeliati sunt contra Agarenos, et interfecerunt illos, habitaveruntque pro eis in tabernaculis eorum, in omni plaga, quae respicit ad Orientem Galaad.
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 Filii vero Gad e regione eorum habitaverunt in Terra Basan usque Selcha:
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Ioel in capite, et Saphan secundus: Ianai autem, et Saphat in Basan.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 Fratres vero eorum secundum domos cognationum suarum, Michael, et Mosollam, et Sebe, et Iorai, et Iachan, et Zie, et Heber, septem.
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 Hi filii Abihail, filii Huri, filii Iara, filii Galaad, filii Michael, filii Iesesi, filii Ieddo, filii Buz.
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 Fratres quoque filii Abdiel, filii Guni, princeps domus in familiis suis.
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 Et habitaverunt in Galaad, et in Basan, et in viculis eius, et in cunctis suburbanis Saron, usque ad terminos.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 Omnes hi, numerati sunt in diebus Ioathan regis Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam regis Israel.
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Filii Ruben, et Gad, et dimidiae tribus Manasse viri bellatores, scuta portantes, et gladios, et tendentes arcum, eruditique ad praelia quadragintaquattuor millia, et septingenti sexaginta procedentes ad pugnam.
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 Dimicaverunt contra Agarenos: Ituraei vero, et Naphis, et Nodab
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 praebuerunt eis auxilium. Traditique sunt in manus eorum Agareni, et universi, qui fuerant cum eis, quia Deum invocaverunt cum praeliarentur: et exaudivit eos, eo quod credidissent in eum.
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 Ceperuntque omnia quae possederant, camelorum quinquaginta millia, et ovium ducenta quinquaginta millia, et asinos duo millia, et animas hominum centum millia.
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 Vulnerati autem multi corruerunt: fuit enim bellum Domini. Habitaveruntque pro eis usque ad transmigrationem.
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 Filii quoque dimidiae tribus Manasse possederunt terram a finibus Basan usque Baal, Hermon, et Sanir, et montem Hermon, ingens quippe numerus erat.
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 Et hi fuerunt principes domus cognationis eorum, Epher, et Iesi, et Eliel, et Ezriel, et Ieremia, et Odoia, et Iediel viri fortissimi et potentes, et nominati duces in familiis suis.
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 Reliquerunt autem Deum patrum suorum, et fornicati sunt post deos populorum terrae, quos abstulit Deus coram eis.
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 et suscitavit Deus Israel spiritum Phul regis Assyriorum, et spiritum Thelgathphalnasar regis Assur: et transtulit Ruben, et Gad, et dimidiam tribum Manasse, et adduxit eos in Lahela, et in Habor, et Ara, et fluvium Gozan, usque ad diem hanc.
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.
