1 Whakapapa 5
1 Na, ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko ia hoki te matamua; heoi, i te mea i whakapokea e ia te moenga o tona papa, ka hotau tona matamuatanga ki nga tama a Hohepa, tama a Iharaira; na e kore te whakapapa e timata i te matamua.
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 I nui ake hoki a Hura i ona tuakana, teina, he uri hoki nona te tino rangatira: otiia i a Hohepa te matamuatanga:
And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.
3 Ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko Enoka, ko Paru, ko Heterono, ko Karami.
The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Ko nga tama a Hoera; ko tana tama ko Hemaia, ko tana tama ko Koko, ko tana tama ko Himei;
The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Ko tana tama ko Mika; ko tana tama ko Reaia; ko tana tama ko Paara;
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Ko tana tama ko Peeraha, ko tera i riro parau ra i a Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria; he rangatira ia no nga Reupeni.
and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Na, ko ona teina me o ratou hapu, ki te whakapapatia o ratou whakatupuranga; ko nga tino rangatira ko Teiere, ko Hakaraia,
His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,
8 Ko Pera tama a Atata, tama a Hema, tama a Hoera, i noho nei ki Aroere a tae noa ki Nepo, ki Paarameono;
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 I nohoia ano e ia te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te koraha e takoto mai ana i te awa i Uparati: no te mea i nui haere a ratou kararehe ki te whenua o Kireara.
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 i nga ra o Haora ka whawhaitia e ratou nga Hakari, hinga iho i o ratou ringa; noho ana ratou ki o ratou teneti i te whenua katoa o Kireara ki te rawhiti.
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 Na ko nga tama a Kara i noho i te ritenga mai o to ratou i te whenua o Pahana tae noa ki Hareka:
The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:
12 Ko Hoera te upoko, muri iho ko Hapana, ko Taanai, ko Hapata i Pahana.
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.
13 Na, ko o ratou teina o nga whare o o ratou matua: ko Mikaera, ko Mehurama, ko Hepa, ko Torai, ko Takana, ko Tia, ko Epere, tokowhitu.
Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.
14 Ko nga tama enei a Apihaira tama a Huri, tama a Taroa, tama a Kireara, tama a Mikaera, tama a Tehihai, tama a Taharo, tama a Putu;
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 Ko Ahi tama a Apariere, tama a Kuni; ko te upoko ia o nga whare o o ratou matua.
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 A noho ana ratou ki Kireara o Pahana, ki ona pa ririki, ki nga taha ano o Harono, ki o ratou taha ki waho.
They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.
17 He mea whakapapa enei katoa i nga ra o Iotama kingi o Hura, i nga ra ano o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira.
All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Ko nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga Kari, ko tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, no te hunga toa, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te hoari, he hunga kopere i te kopere, e mahio ana hoki ki te whawhai, e wha tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau e ono tekau taua hunga i ahei te haere ki te whawhai.
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 I whawhai hoki ratou ki nga Hakari, ki Ieturu, ki Napihi, ki Norapa.
They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 I awhinatia ano ratou ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a ka homai nga Hakari ki o ratou ringa, ratou ko o ratou hoa katoa: i karanga hoki ratou ki te Atua i te whawhaitanga, a tahuri ana ia ki a ratou; mo ratou i whakawhirinaki ki a ia.
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 I riro ano hoki i a ratou a ratou kararehe; o a ratou kamera e rima tekau mano, o nga hipi e rua rau e rima tekau mano, o nga kaihe e rua mano, o nga tangata kotahi rau mano.
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22 He tokomaha hoki i hinga, mate rawa: na te Atua hoki te whawhai; a noho ana ratou ki to ratou wahi a taea noatia te whakaraunga.
and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23 I noho ano nga tama a tetahi tanga o he hapu o Manahi ki te whenua; i tini haere ano ratou ki Pahana a tae noa ki Paaraheremona, ki Heniri, ki Maunga Heremona ano.
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 Na ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua; ara ko Epere, ko Ihi, ko Eriere, ko Atariere, ko Heremaia, ko Horawia, ko Tahariere, he hunga nunui, he marohirohi, he hunga ingoa nui, he upoko ano no nga whare o o ratou matua.
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 Na kua he ratou ki te Atua o o ratou matua, kua whai, kua puremu ki nga atua o nga iwi o te whenua i huna nei e te Atua i to ratou aroaro.
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 Na ka whakaohokia e te Atua o Iharaira te wairua o Puru kingi o Ahiria, te wairua hoki o Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria, a whakaraua ana ratou e ia, ara nga Reupeni, nga Kari, me tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, a kawea ana ratou e ia ki Har aha, ki Haporo, ki Hara, ki te awa o Kotana a taea noatia tenei ra.
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.
