1 Masolo ya Kala 5
1 Ribeni azalaki mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isalaele. Kasi lokola asangisaki nzoto na mwasi moko kati na basi ya tata na ye, makoki ya bomwana na ye ya liboso epesamaki epai ya bana mibali ya Jozefi, mwana mobali ya Isalaele. Yango wana bazalaki kotanga ye lisusu te lokola mwana ya liboso. Nzokande, Jozefi akomamaki te na buku ya mabota lokola mwana ya liboso.
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 Yuda alekaki bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali na makasi, mpe moto oyo akomaki mokonzi abimaki na nzela na ye. Kasi atako bongo, makoki ya bomwana ya liboso epesamaki kaka epai ya Jozefi.
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 Tala bana mibali ya Ribeni, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isalaele: Enoki, Palu, Etsironi mpe Karimi.
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Bakitani ya Joeli: Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Gogi, mwana mobali ya Shemaya; Shimei, mwana mobali ya Gogi;
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Mishe, mwana mobali ya Shimei; Reaya, mwana mobali ya Mishe; Bala, mwana mobali ya Reaya;
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Beera, mwana mobali ya Bala mpe mokambi ya bato ya Ribeni, oyo Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, amemaki na bowumbu.
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Tala bandeko ya Beera kolanda etuka na bango ndenge bakomami na molongo ya botata na bango: mokambi Yeyeli, Zakari;
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 Bela, mwana mobali ya Azazi, koko ya Shema, mwana mobali ya Joeli. Bazalaki kovanda na mboka Aroeri mpe na etuka oyo ekenda kino na ngomba Nebo mpe na Bala-Meoni.
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 Bavandaki na ngambo ya este, longwa na mondelo ya esobe kino na ebale Efrate, pamba te bangombe na bango ekomaki ebele kati na mokili ya Galadi.
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 Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, babundisaki bato ya Agari mpe balongaki bango. Bavandaki na bandako na bango ya kapo oyo ezalaki na etuka mobimba ya ngambo ya Galadi.
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 Bakitani ya Gadi bazalaki kovanda pembeni ya bakitani ya Ribeni, na mokili ya Bashani kino na Salika.
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Etuka ya Joeli nde elekaki monene, elandamaki na etuka ya Shafami, mpe bituka ya Yaenayi mpe Shafati esukisaki, kati na Bashani.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 Bandeko na bango ya mibali kolanda mabota na bango bazalaki: Mikaeli, Meshulami, Sheba, Yorayi, Yaekani, Ziya mpe Eberi. Bango nyonso bazalaki sambo.
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 Bazalaki bana ya Abiyaili, mwana mobali ya Uri, mwana mobali ya Yaroa, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali Mikaeli, mwana mobali ya Yeshishai, mwana mobali ya Yado, mwana mobali ya Buzi.
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 Ayi, mwana mobali ya Abidieli, mwana mobali ya Guni, azalaki mokambi ya bituka na bango.
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 Bango nyonso bazalaki kovanda na Galadi, na Bashani, na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga mpe na bilanga nyonso ya Saroni kino na suka na yango.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 Batangaki bato nyonso oyo tango Yotami azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda mpe Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Bakitani ya mabota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase bazalaki bango nyonso nkoto tuku minei na minei na nkama sambo na tuku motoba. Babongamaki mpo na mosala ya soda. Bazalaki bilombe mibali oyo bayebi kosalela nguba, mopanga, tolotolo; mpe bamilengela mpo na bitumba.
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 Babundisaki bato ya Agari, ya Yeturi, ya Nafishi mpe ya Nodabi.
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 Nzambe asungaki bango mpe apesaki bango elonga likolo ya bato ya Agari mpe baninga na bango nyonso oyo bayaki kosunga bango, pamba te babelelaki Yawe na tango ya bitumba. Yawe ayanolaki bango, pamba te batielaki Ye motema.
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 Bazwaki bibwele ya bato ya Agari: bashamo nkoto tuku mitano, bameme nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mitano, mpe ba-ane nkoto mibale. Bazwaki mpe bakangami nkoto nkama moko:
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 mingi bakufaki, pamba te bitumba ezalaki na maboko ya Nzambe. Bavandaki na mokili yango kino na tango ya bowumbu.
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 Bakitani ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase bavandaki na mokili oyo ezalaki longwa na Bashani kino na Bala-Erimoni, Seniri mpe ngomba Erimoni.
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 Tala bakambi ya bituka na bango: Eferi, Yisheyi, Elieli, Azirieli, Jeremi, Odavia mpe Yadiele. Bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba, bato bayebana mpe bakambi ya mabota na bango.
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 Kasi lokola batosaki te Nzambe ya bakoko na bango mpe bakomaki kosalela banzambe ya bato ya mokili oyo Nzambe abebisaki liboso na bango.
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 Yango wana Nzambe ya Isalaele alamusaki molimo ya Puli, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe molimo ya Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na komema na bowumbu: bato ya libota ya Ribeni, ya libota ya Gadi mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase. Amemaki bango na Ala, na Abori, na Ara mpe na ngambo ya ebale Gozani, epai wapi bazali kovanda kino lelo.
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.
