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;
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 fa Joda nisandratra noho ny rahalahiny, ary izy no nihavian’ ny mpanapaka; nefa ny fizokiana kosa dia an’ i Josefa ihany),
and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)
3 ny zanakalahin’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely, dia Hanoka sy Palo sy Hezrona ary Karmy.

and Beerah his son, the one whom Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria took into exile. He (Beerah) was a leader of the Reubenites.

and Bela of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. They lived from Aroer to Nebo and Baal Meon.
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.
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 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.
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.
11 Ary ny taranak’ i Gada nonina tandrifiny, teny amin’ ny tany Basana hatrany Saleka;
Next to them the descendants of Gad lived in Basha, all the way to Salecah.
12 Joela no lohany, dia Safama no manarakaraka, dia Janay sy Safata tany Basana.
Joel (chief), Shapham (second), and 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.
Their relatives, according to family, were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—a total of 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;

15 Ahia, zanak’ i Abdiela, zanak’ i Gony, no lohan’ ny fianakaviany.

16 Ary nonina tany Gileada sy tany Basana sy tamin’ ny zana-bohiny ary tamin’ ny tany rehetra an-tsisin’ i Sardna manodidina izy.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon all the way to their 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.
They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam 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 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 Ary niady tamin’ ny Hagarita sy tamin’ i Jetora sy Nafisy ary Nodaba izy.
They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
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.
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 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;
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 fa maro ny faty niampatrampatra, satria avy tamin’ Andriamanitra ny ady. Ary nonina nandimby ireo izy mandra-pahatongan’ ny namaboana azy kosa.
and many others were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there until the exile.
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.
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 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.
These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of 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 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 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.
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.
