Taariikhdii Kowaad 5
1 Oo kuwanuna waa wiilashii Ruubeen kaasoo ahaa curadkii Israa'iil, (laakiinse isagu wuxuu nijaaseeyey gogoshii aabbihiis oo sidaas daraaddeed curadnimadiisii waxaa la siiyey wiilashii Yuusuf ina Israa'iil, oo abtiriskiisiina laguma tirin xagga curadnimadiisii.
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 Yahuudah walaalihiis wuu ka xoog badnaa, oo isaga xaggiisuu amiirku ka yimid, laakiinse curadnimada waxaa iska lahaa Yuusuf: )
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 oo wiilashii Ruubeen oo ahaa curadkii Israa'iil waxay ahaayeen Xanoog, iyo Falluu, iyo Xesroon, iyo Karmii.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Farcankii Yoo'eelna wuxuu ahaa Shemacyaah oo dhalay Juuj, oo isna dhalay Shimcii, oo isna dhalay Miikaah,
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 oo isna dhalay Re'aayaah, oo isna dhalay Bacal,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 oo isna dhalay Be'eeraah, oo ahaa kii boqorkii Ashuur oo Tilgad Filneser la odhan jiray uu maxaabiis ahaanta u kaxaystay, oo isna wuxuu ahaa amiirkii reer Ruubeen.
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 Oo qolooyiinkii walaalihiis ahaa markii abtiriskii dhalashadooda la tiriyey waxay ahaayeen duqii Yecii'eel iyo Sekaryaah,
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 iyo Belac oo ahaa ina Caasaas ina Shemac oo ahaa ina Yoo'eel oo degganaan jiray Carooceer, iyo xataa tan iyo Nebo iyo Bacal Mecoon,
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 oo xagga barina wuxuu degganaan jiray tan iyo xataa meesha laga galo cidlada markii laga soo bilaabo Webi Yufraad, maxaa yeelay, xoolahoodii ayaa ku tarmay dalkii Gilecaad.
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 Oo wakhtigii Saa'uul ayay la dagaallameen reer Hagrii'iim, oo iyaga gacantooda ku baabba'ay, oo iyana waxay degeen teendhooyinkoodii ku dhex yiil dalkii Gilecaad bari ka xigay oo dhan.
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 Oo waxaa meel iyaga ka soo hor jeedda, oo ah dalka Baashaan iyo tan iyo Salkaah degganaa wiilashii Gaad
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 kuwaasoo ahaa Yoo'eel oo madax ahaa, iyo Shaafaam oo ahaa kii labaad, iyo Yacnay, iyo Shaafaad, waxay wada joogeen Baashaan,
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 oo walaalahood oo ay isku reer ahaayeen waxay ahaayeen Miikaa'eel, iyo Meshullaam, iyo Shebac, iyo Yooray, iyo Yackaam, iyo Siica, iyo Ceeber, oo waxay ahaayeen toddoba.
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 Oo kuwanuna waxay ahaayeen wiilashii Abiixayil ina Xuurii, oo ahaa ina Yaaroo'ax, oo ahaa ina Gilecaad, oo ahaa ina Miikaa'eel, oo ahaa ina Yeshiishay, oo ahaa ina Yaxdoo, oo ahaa ina Buus;
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 Axii ina Cabdii'eel oo ahaa ina Guunii madax buu u ahaa reerahoodii.
Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
16 Oo waxay degganaayeen Gilecaad oo Baashaan ku tiil iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo Shaaroon agagaarkeedii oo dhan, iyo tan iyo soohdintooda meesha ugu fog.
The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 Oo kuwan oo dhan abtiriskooda waxaa la tiriyey wakhtigii Yootam oo boqorkii dalka Yahuudah ahaa iyo wakhtigii Yaaraabcaam oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil ahaa.
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 Oo reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo qabiilkii reer Manaseh badhkiis raggoodii xoogga lahaa oo awoodda u lahaa inay gaashaan iyo seef qaadaan, iyo inay qaansooyin ganaan, oo dagaalyahannada ahaa waxay ahaayeen afar iyo afartan kun iyo toddoba boqol iyo lixdan nin oo wada awooda inay dagaal u baxaan.
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 Oo iyagu waxay la dagaallameen reer Hagrii'iim iyo reer Yetuur, iyo reer Naafiish, iyo reer Naadaab.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 Oo iyagiina waa looga hiiliyey, markaasaa reer Hagrii'iim waxaa la soo geliyey gacantoodii, iyagii iyo kuwii kale oo la jiray oo dhanba, waayo, intay dagaalka ku jireen ayay Ilaah u qayshadeen, wuuna aqbalay, maxaa yeelay, isagay isku halleeyeen.
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 Oo waxay iyagii ka dhaceen xoolahoodii kuwaasoo ahaa geel ah konton kun, iyo ido ah laba boqol iyo konton kun, iyo dameerro ah laba kun, iyo dad tiradiisu tahay boqol qof.
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 Oo qaar badan baa laga laayay, maxaa yeelay, dagaalku wuxuu ka yimid xag Ilaah. Oo meeshoodii bayna degeen tan iyo waagii maxaabiisnimada.
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 Oo qabiilkii reer Manaseh badhkoodna dalkay degeen, oo waxay ku kordheen tan iyo Baashaan, iyo ilaa Bacal Xermoon, iyo tan iyo Seniir, iyo ilaa Buur Xermoon.
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 Oo kuwii reerahooda madaxda u ahaana waxay ahaayeen Ceefer, iyo Yishcii, iyo Elii'eel, iyo Casrii'eel, iyo Yeremyaah, iyo Hoodawyaah, iyo Yaxdii'eel, oo intaasu waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan oo magac leh oo reerahooda madax u ah.
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 Oo iyagu waxay ku xadgudbeen Ilaahii awowayaashood, oo sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday ayay raaceen ilaahyadii dadkii dalka degganaa, oo Ilaah hortooda ku baabbi'iyey.
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 Oo markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu kiciyey boqorkii Ashuur ee Fuul ahaa, kaasoo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur oo Tilgad Filneser ahaa, oo isna iyagii buu kaxaystay xataa reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo qabiilkii reer Manaseh badhkiis, oo wuxuu iyagii geeyey Xalax, iyo Xaaboor, iyo Haaraa, iyo tan iyo webiga Goosaan, oo halkaasay joogaan ilaa maantadan.
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.
