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.

And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

2 Porro Iudas, qui erat fortissimus inter fratres suos, de stirpe eius principes germinati sunt: primogenita autem reputata sunt Ioseph.)

For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s: )

and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto 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.

and eastward he dwelt even unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

19 Dimicaverunt contra Agarenos: Ituraei vero, et Naphis, et Nodab

And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and 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 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 Ceperuntque omnia quae possederant, camelorum quinquaginta millia, et ovium ducenta quinquaginta millia, et asinos duo millia, et animas hominum centum millia.

And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

22 Vulnerati autem multi corruerunt: fuit enim bellum Domini. Habitaveruntque pro eis usque ad transmigrationem.

For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their stead until the captivity.

And they trespassed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God 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.

And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day.
