1 Imilando 5

1 Njalo amadodana kaRubeni, izibulo likaIsrayeli (ngoba wayelizibulo, kodwa njengoba wayengcolise umbheda kayise, ubuzibulo bakhe banikwa amadodana kaJosefa indodana kaIsrayeli; futhi wayengabhalwanga njengezibulo;

As for sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel—for he [is] the firstborn, and on account of his profaning the bed of his father his birthright has been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and [he is] not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright,

2 ngoba uJuda wayelamandla kulabafowabo, lowayengumbusi wavela kuye, kodwa ubuzibulo babungobukaJosefa).

for Judah has been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph—

3 Amadodana kaRubeni, izibulo likaIsrayeli: OHanoki, loPalu, uHezironi, loKarmi.

sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel: Enoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 Amadodana kaJoweli: UShemaya indodana yakhe, uGogi indodana yakhe, uShimeyi indodana yakhe,

Sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

5 uMika indodana yakhe, uReyaya indodana yakhe, uBhali indodana yakhe,

Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Ba‘al his son,

6 uBehera indodana yakhe, uTiligathi-Pilineseri inkosi yeAsiriya eyamthumbayo; wayeyisiphathamandla sabakoRubeni.

Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite.

7 Njalo abafowabo ngensendo zabo, lapho bebhalwa ngokwezizukulwana zabo, bayizinhloko: OJeyiyeli, loZekhariya,

And his brothers, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah,

8 loBhela indodana kaAzazi indodana kaShema indodana kaJoweli, owayehlala eAroweri, njalo kwaze kwaba seNebo leBhali-Meyoni.

and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel—he is dwelling in Aroer, even to Nebo and Ba‘al-Meon;

9 Langempumalanga wahlala kwaze kwaba sekungeneni kwenkangala kusukela emfuleni iYufrathi, ngoba izifuyo zabo zasezandile elizweni leGileyadi.

and he dwelt at the east even to the entering in of the wilderness, even from the Euphrates River, for their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

10 Ensukwini zikaSawuli balawula-ke impi lamaHagari, awa ngesandla sabo; bahlala emathenteni awo elizweni lonke lempumalanga yeGileyadi.

And they have made war with the Hagarites in the days of Saul, who fall by their hand, and they dwell in their tents over all the face of the east of Gilead.

11 Labantwana bakoGadi bahlala maqondana labo elizweni leBashani kwaze kwaba seSaleka.

And the sons of Gad have dwelt opposite them in the land of Bashan to Salcah:

12 UJoweli inhloko, loShafamu owesibili, loJanayi loShafati eBashani.

Joel the head, and Shapham the second, and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan;

13 Labafowabo ngendlu yaboyise: OMikayeli loMeshulamu loShebha loJorayi loJakani loZiya loEberi, beyisikhombisa.

and their brothers of the house of their fathers [are] Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber—seven.

14 Laba babengamadodana kaAbihayili indodana kaHuri indodana kaJarowa indodana kaGileyadi indodana kaMikayeli indodana kaJeshishayi indodana kaJahido indodana kaBuzi.

These [are] sons of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz;

15 UAhi indodana kaAbidiyeli indodana kaGuni wayeyinhloko yendlu yaboyise.

Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, [is] head of the house of their fathers;

16 Basebehlala eGileyadi, eBashani, lemizaneni yayo, lakuwo wonke amadlelo eSharoni, kwaze kwaba sekuphumeni kwawo.

and they dwell in Gilead in Bashan, and in her small towns, and in all outskirts of Sharon, on their outskirts;

17 Bonke laba babhalwa ngezizukulwana zabo ezinsukwini zikaJothamu inkosi yakoJuda lensukwini zikaJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeli.

all of them reckoned themselves by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 Amadodana kaRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase, emadodeni angamaqhawe, athwala isihlangu lenkemba, anyathela idandili, lezingcitshi empini, ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane lane lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi ayisithupha, ephumela ebuthweni.

Sons of Reuben, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, of sons of valor, men carrying shield and sword, and treading bow, and taught in battle, [are] forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going out to the host.

19 Basebelawula impi lamaHagari loJeturi loNafishi loNodabi.

And they make war with the Hagarites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,

20 Bancediswa bemelene labo, amaHagari asenikelwa esandleni sabo, labo bonke ababelawo; ngoba bakhala kuNkulunkulu besempini, wasencengeka ngabo, ngoba bamthemba.

and they are helped against them, and the Hagarites are given into their hand, and all who [are] with them, for they cried to God in battle, and He received their plea, because they trusted in Him.

21 Bathumba izifuyo zabo, amakamela azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu, labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezimbili, lemiphefumulo yabantu ezinkulungwane ezilikhulu.

And they take their livestock captive—fifty thousand of their camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys, and one hundred thousand of mankind;

22 Ngoba kwawa abanengi ababuleweyo, ngoba impi yayingekaNkulunkulu. Basebehlala ezindaweni zabo kwaze kwafika ukuthunjwa.

for many have fallen pierced, for the battle [is] of God; and they dwell in their stead until the expulsion.

23 Abantwana bengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebehlala elizweni; kusukela eBashani kusiya eBhali-Hermoni leSeniri lentabeni yeHermoni bona banda.

And the sons of the half of the tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan to Ba‘al-Hermon, and Senir, and Mount Hermon; they have multiplied.

24 Lalezi zinhloko zendlu yaboyise, ngitsho oEferi loIshi loEliyeli loAziriyeli loJeremiya loHodaviya loJahidiyeli, amadoda angamaqhawe alamandla, amadoda alamabizo, inhloko zendlu yaboyise.

And these [are] heads of the house of their fathers: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, men mighty in valor, men of renown, heads of the house of their fathers.

25 Kodwa bona kuNkulunkulu waboyise, baphinga ngokulandela onkulunkulu babantu balelolizwe, uNkulunkulu abachithayo phambi kwabo.

And they trespass against the God of their fathers, and go whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed from their presence;

26 Ngakho uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli wavusa umoya kaPhuli inkosi yeAsiriya, lomoya kaTiligathi-Pilineseri inkosi yeAsiriya, wabathumba, ngitsho abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase, wabasa eHala leHabori leHara lemfuleni iGozani, kuze kube lamuhla.

and the God of Israel stirs up the spirit of Pul king of Asshur, and the spirit of Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur, and he removes them—even the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh—and brings them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and the River of Gozan to this day.
