1 Tantara 5
1 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely (fa izy no lahimatoa; saingy ny nandotoany ny farafaran-drainy no nanomezana ny fizokiany ho an’ ny zanak’ i Josefa, zanak’ Isiraely; nefa tsy voasoratra ho zokiny amin’ ny fitantaram-pirazanana ireo;
Also, there were the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. For indeed, he was his firstborn, but when he had violated the bed of his father, his right as firstborn was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, and he was not reputed as firstborn.
2 fa Joda nisandratra noho ny rahalahiny, ary izy no nihavian’ ny mpanapaka; nefa ny fizokiana kosa dia an’ i Josefa ihany),
Moreover, Judah, who was strongest among his brothers, from his stock leaders sprung up, but the right of firstborn was reputed to Joseph.
3 ny zanakalahin’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely, dia Hanoka sy Palo sy Hezrona ary Karmy.
So then, the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 Ny zanakalahin’ i Joela dia Semaia, ary Goga no zanakalahin’ i Semaia, Sirney no zanakalahin’ i Goga,
The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Mika no zanakalahin’ i simey, Reaia no zanakalahin’ i Mika, Bala no zanakalahin’ i Reaia,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Bera no zanakalahin’ i Bala, izay nobaboin’ i Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria; izy no loham-pirenen’ ny Robenita.
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, led away captive, and he was a leader in the tribe of Reuben.
7 Ary ny rahalahiny araka ny fokony avy, raha nisaina ny firazanan’ ny fireneny, dia Jeiela lohany sy Zakaria

Now Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baalmeon.
9 Ary nonina tany atsinanana hatrany akaikin’ ny efitra ka hatramin’ ny ony Eofrata izy; fa ny ombiny aman’ ondriny nihamaro teny amin’ ny tany Gileada.
And he lived toward the eastern region, as far as the entrance to the wilderness and the river Euphrates. For indeed, they possessed a great number of cattle in the land of Gilead.
10 Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Saoly dia niady tamin’ ny Hagarita izy ka naharesy azy; ary nonina an-day eran’ ny ilany atsinanana rehetra amin’ i Gileada izy.
Then, in the days of Saul, they battled against the Hagarites and put them to death. And they lived in place of them, in their dwellings, throughout the entire region that looks to the east of Gilead.
11 Ary ny taranak’ i Gada nonina tandrifiny, teny amin’ ny tany Basana hatrany Saleka;
Truly, the sons of Gad lived in the opposite region from them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Joela no lohany, dia Safama no manarakaraka, dia Janay sy Safata tany Basana.
Joel the head, and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
13 Ary ny rahalahiny araka ny fianakaviany avy dia Mikaela sy Mesolama sy Seba sy Joray sy Jakana sy Zia ary Ebera; fito izy.
Truly, their brothers, according to the houses of their kindred, were: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
14 Ireo no zanakalahin’ i Abihaila, zanak’ i Hory, zanak’ i Jaroa, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Mikaela, zanak’ i Jesisay, zanak’ i Jado, zanak’ i Boza;
These were the sons of Abihail, the 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 Ahia, zanak’ i Abdiela, zanak’ i Gony, no lohan’ ny fianakaviany.
along with their brothers, the sons of Abdiel, the son of Guni, the leader of the house, in their families,
16 Ary nonina tany Gileada sy tany Basana sy tamin’ ny zana-bohiny ary tamin’ ny tany rehetra an-tsisin’ i Sardna manodidina izy.
And they lived in Gilead, and in Bashan and its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as the borders.
17 Ireo rehetra ireo dia nisaina araka ny firazanany tamin’ ny andron’ i Jotama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
All these were numbered in the days of Jotham, the king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the king of Israel:
18 Ny taranak’ i Robena sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, izay isan’ ny lehilahy mahery, ka lehilahy mahatana ampinga sy sabatra ary mahahenjana tsipìka sady zatra ny miady, dia enim-polo amby fiton-jato amby efatra arivo sy efatra alina no isan’ ny azo nalefa hanafika.
the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, men of war, carrying shields and swords, and bending the bow, and trained for battle, forty-four thousand and seven hundred sixty, advancing to the fight.
19 Ary niady tamin’ ny Hagarita sy tamin’ i Jetora sy Nafisy ary Nodaba izy.
They struggled against the Hagarites, yet truly the Jetureans, and Naphish, and Nodab offered assistance to them.
20 Ary nombana hamely ireo izy, ka dia voatolotra teo an-tànany ny Hagarita mbamin’ izay rehetra nomba azy, satria nitaraina tamin’ Andriamanitra teo amin’ ny ady izy, ary nekeny ny fangatahany noho ny fahatokiany Azy.
And the Hagarites were delivered into their hands, and all who were with them. For they called upon God while they did battle. And he heeded them, because they had trusted in him.
21 Ary nobaboiny ny bibiny, dia rameva dimy alina sy ondry aman’ osy dimy alina amby roa hetsy sy boriky roa arivo ary olona iray hetsy;
And they seized all that they possessed, of camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand lives.
22 fa maro ny faty niampatrampatra, satria avy tamin’ Andriamanitra ny ady. Ary nonina nandimby ireo izy mandra-pahatongan’ ny namaboana azy kosa.
And many fell down wounded. For it was a war of the Lord. And they lived in place of them, until the transmigration.
23 Ary ny taranaky ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia nonina tamin’ ny tany; ary nihamaro izy hatrany Basana ka hatrany Bala-hermona sy Senira ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Hermona.
Also, the sons of the one half tribe of Manasseh possessed the land, from the parts of Bashan as far as Baal, Hermon, and Sanir, and Mount Hermon. For certainly, their number was immense.
24 Ary izao no lohan’ ny fianakaviany: Efera sy Jisy sy Eliala sy Azriela sy Jeremia sy Hodavia ary Jadiela; lehilahy mahery ireo ary malaza sady samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy.
And these were leaders of the house of their kindred: Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, very valiant and powerful men, and renowned leaders in their families.
25 Ary nivadika tamin’ Andriamanitry ny razany ireo, fa nijangajanga nanaraka ny andriamanitry ny tompon-tany, izay naringan’ Andriamanitra tsy ho eo anoloany.
But they abandoned the God of their fathers, and they fornicated after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God took away before them.
26 Ary Andriamanitry ny Isiraely namporisika an’ i Pola, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, sy Tiglato-pilesera mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka dia nobaboin’ ireo ny Robenita sy ny Gadita sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nentiny tany Hala sy Habora sy Hara ary tany amoron’ ny ony Gozana ambaraka androany.
And so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, the king of the Assyrians, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser, the king of Assur. And he took away Reuben, and Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh. And he led them to Halah, and to Habor, and to Hara, and to the river of Gozan, even to this day.
