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.
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 I nui ake hoki a Hura i ona tuakana, teina, he uri hoki nona te tino rangatira: otiia i a Hohepa te matamuatanga:
and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)

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.
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 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.
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 Na ko nga tama a Kara i noho i te ritenga mai o to ratou i te whenua o Pahana tae noa ki Hareka:

They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon all the way to their borders.
17 He mea whakapapa enei katoa i nga ra o Iotama kingi o Hura, i nga ra ano o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira.
They were all were recorded in the genealogy during the time 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 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 I whawhai hoki ratou ki nga Hakari, ki Ieturu, ki Napihi, ki Norapa.
They went to war against the Hagrites, 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.
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 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 captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
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 were killed because the battle belonged to God. They took over the land and lived there 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.
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 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 family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, 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 forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that 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.

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.
