१ इतिहास 5
1 इस्राएलका जेठा छोरा रूबेनका छोराहरू— रूबेन जेठा छोरा थिए, तर तिनको ज्येष्ठ अधिकार इस्राएलका छोरा योसेफका छोराहरूलाई दिइयो, किनभने तिनले आफ्ना पिताको ओच्छ्यान अपवित्र पारेका थिए । त्यसैले जेठा छोराको रूपमा तिनको विवरण रहेन ।
Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob. Therefore, he should have received the special rights/privileges that belonged to firstborn sons. But he had sex with his father’s slave wife, so [his father] gave the rights if a firstborn son to the sons of Reubers younger brother Joseph. And in the family records, Reuben is not mentioned first, like the firstborn sons always are.
2 यहूदा आफ्ना दाजुभाइमध्ये सबैभन्दा बलिया थिए, र तिनीबाट एक जना अगुवा आउनेवाला थिए । तर ज्येष्ठ अधिकार योसेफको थियो—
Although Judah became more influential than his brothers, and a ruler of the tribe descended from him, Joseph’s family received the rights that belonged to firstborn sons.
3 इस्राएलका जेठा छोरा रूबेनका छोराहरू हानोक, पल्लु, हेस्रोन र कर्मी थिए ।
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 योएलका सन्तान यिनै थिएः योएलका छोरा शमायाह थिए । शमायाहका छोरा गोग तिए । गोगका छोरा शिमी थिए ।
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 शिमीका छोरा मीका तिए । मीकाका छोरा रायाह थिए । रायाहक छोरा बाल थिए ।
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 बालका छोरा बीरह थिए, जसलाई अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत-पिलेसेरले कैद गरेर लगे । बीरह रूबेनी कुलका अगुवा थिए ।
Baal’s son was Beerah. Beerah was a leader of the tribe/descendants of Reuben. But Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria captured him and took him to Assyria.
7 आ-आफ्ना वंशाक्रमअनुसार सूचीकृत भएका बीरहका आफन्तका वंशहरूः अगुवा यीएल, जकरिया, र
The names of these clans are listed here according to what is written in their family records. The first [name written was] Jeiel. Then Zechariah,
8 योएलका पनाति, शेमाका नाति र अजाजका छोरा बेला थिए । नेबो र बाल-मोनसम्म फैलिएर अरोएरमा,
and then Bela. Bela was the son of Azaz, and Azaz was the son of Shema, and Shema was the son of Joel. Reuben’s clan was very large. Some of them lived near Aroer [city] as far [north] as Nebo [town] and Baal-Meon [city].
9 र पूर्वपट्टि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म फैलिएको उजाड-स्थानको छेउसम्म नै तिनीहरू बसोबास गर्थे । तिनीहरूसित गिलादमा पाल्तु पशुको संख्या ज्यादै बढेको हुनाले यसो भयो ।
Some of them lived further east, as far as the edge of the desert [south of] the Euphrates River. [They went there] because they had a huge amount of cattle, [with the result that there was not enough pastureland for them] in [the] Gilead [region].
10 शाऊलको समयमा रूबेनका वंशले हग्रीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे र उनीहरूलाई जिते । तिनीहरूले गिलादको पूर्वपट्टिका सबै भूभागमा भएका हग्रीहरूका छाउनीहरूमा बसोबास गरे ।
When Saul was king [of Israel], Bela’s clan fought against the descendants of Hagar and defeated them. After that, Bela’s clan lived in the tents that the descendants of Hagar had lived in previously, in all the area east of [the] Gilead [region].
11 गादका वंशका सदस्यहरू तिनीहरूका नजिक बाशानमा सलकासम्मै बसेका थिए ।
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 योएल तिनीहरूका अगुवा थिए । शापाम दोस्रो थिए । अनि बाशानमा यानै र शाफात ।
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 तिनीहरूका पुर्खाका परिवारहरूको आधारमा तिनीहरूका आफन्तहरू मिखाएल, मशुल्लाम, शेबा, योरै, यकान, जीआ र एबेर— जम्मा सात जना थिए ।
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 यी माथि नाउँ लेखिएका व्यक्तिहरू अबीहेलका सन्तानहरू थिए, र अबीहेल हूरीका छोरा थिए । हूरी यारोहका छोरा थिए । यारोह गिलादका छोरा थिए । गिलाद मिखाएलका छोरा थिए । मिखाएल यशीशैका छोरा थिए । यशीशै यहदोका छोरा थिए । यहदो बूजका छोरा थिए ।
They were descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri’s son. Huri was Jaroah’s son. Jaroah was Gilead’s son. Gilead was Michael’s son. Michael was Jeshishai’s son. Jeshishai was Jahdo’s son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
15 गुनीका छोरा अब्दीएलका छोरा अही तिनीहरूका पिताका परिवारका मुखिया थिए ।
Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
16 तिनीहरू गिलादमा, बाशान र त्यसका नगरहरूमा, र शारोनका सबै खर्कहरू फैलिएका सिमानासम्मै बस्थे ।
The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 यी सबै यहूदाका राजा योताम र इस्राएलका राजा यारोबामका राज्य गरेको समयमा वंशाक्रमको सूचीमा लेखिएका थिए ।
All of those names were written in the records of the clans of Gad during the time that Jotham was the king of Judah and Jeroboam was the king of Israel.
18 रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनश्शेको आधा कुलका यद्धको निम्ति तालिमप्राप्त ४४,७६० सिपाहीहरू थिए, जसले ढाल र तरवार बोक्थे, र धनु तान्न सक्थे ।
There were 44,760 soldiers from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh. They all carried shields and swords and bows [and arrows]. They [were all trained to] fight well in battles.
19 तिनीहरूले हग्रीहरू, यतूर, नापीश र नोदाबलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 उनीहरूको विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्न तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरबाट सहायता पाए । यसरी हग्रीहरू र उनीहरूसँग भएका सबै पराजित भए । इस्राएलीहरूले उनीहरूको विरुद्ध लडाइँमा सहायताको निम्ति आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई पुकारा गरे र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, किनकी तिनीहरूले उहाँमाथि आफ्नो भरोसा राखे ।
The men from those three tribes prayed to God during the battles, requesting him to help them. So he helped them, because they trusted in him. He enabled them to defeat [IDM] the descendants of Hagar and all those who were helping them.
21 उनीहरूका गाईवस्तु, पचास हजार ऊँट, दुई लाख पचास हजार भेडा, दुई हजार गधा, र एक लाख जना मानिसलाई कब्जा गरे ।
They took the animals that belonged to the descendants of Hagar: They took 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also captured 100,000 people.
22 अरू धेरै जना मारिए, किनभने यो युद्ध परमेश्वरबाट भएको थियो । तिनीहरू कैदमा नगरेसम्म तिनीहरू त्यही देशमा बसोबास गरे ।
But many descendants of Hagar were killed because God helped the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. After that, those three tribes lived in that area until [the army of] Babylonia [captured them and] took them away to Babylon.
23 मनश्शेका आधा कुल बाशानदेखि बाल-हेर्मोन र सेनीरसम्म (अर्थात् हेर्मोन पर्वत) बसोबास गरे ।
There were many people who belonged to the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They lived in [the] Bashan [region east of the Jordan River], as far [north] as Baal-Hermon, Senir, and Hermon Mountain.
24 तिनीहरूका पिताका घरानाहरूका मुखियाहरू यी नै थिएः एपेर, यिशी, एलीएल, अज्रीएल, यर्मिया, होदबिया र यहदीएल । तिनीहरू वीर मानिसहरू र प्रख्यात मानिसहरू अनि तिनीहरूका परिवारका मुखियाहरू थिए ।
Their clan leaders were Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were all strong, brave, and famous soldiers, and leaders of their clans.
25 तर तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरप्रति विश्वासयोग्य भएनन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले त्यस देशका मानिसहरूका देवताहरूको पुजा गरे, जसलाई परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका सामु नाश गर्नुभएको थियो ।
But they sinned against God, the one whom their ancestors had worshiped. They began to worship the gods/idols that the people of that region had worshiped, the people whom God had enabled them to destroy!
26 इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले अश्शूरका राजा पूललाई (जसलाई अश्शूरका राजा तिग्लत-पिलेसेर पनि भनिन्थ्यो) उक्साउनुभयो । उनले रूबेन, गाद र मनश्शेका आधा कुलका मानिसहरूलाई कैदमा लगे । उनले तिनीहरूलाई हलह, हाबोर, हारा र गोजान नदीका किनारमा लगे, जाहाँ तिनीहरू आजको दिनसम्म छन् ।
So the God whom the Israelis [worshiped] caused Pul, the king of Assyria, to conquer those tribes. Pul’s other name was Tiglath-Pileser. His [army] captured the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, and took them to [various places in Assyria]: Halah, Habor, Hara and near the Gozan River. [They have lived in those places from that time] to the present time.
