1 Crónicas 5
1 Hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel. Él era el primogénito, pero porque profanó el lecho de su padre, su primogenitura fue dada a los hijos de José, hijo de Israel, y no fue posible registrarlo como primogénito.
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 Aunque la primogenitura correspondió a José, Judá fue superior entre sus hermanos y el jefe de ellos, pero el privilegio de primogenitura fue para José.
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.

9 Se estableció también hacia el oriente hasta la entrada del desierto [que se extiende] desde el río Éufrates, porque tenía mucho ganado en la tierra de Galaad.
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].

18 Los hijos de Rubén y de Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés, hombres valientes, hombres que portaban escudo y espada, expertos en el manejo del arco y diestros en la guerra, eran 44.760 que salían a la guerra.
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.

They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].

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 Muchos cayeron muertos, porque la batalla era de ʼElohim. Vivieron en sus lugares hasta el cautiverio.

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 Pero se rebelaron contra el ʼElohim de sus padres, y se prostituyeron al seguir a los ʼelohim de los pueblos de la tierra, a los cuales Yavé quitó de delante de ellos.
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 Por lo cual el ʼElohim de Israel incitó el espíritu de Pul, rey de los asirios, es decir el espíritu de Tiglat-pileser, rey de los asirios, quien deportó a los rubenitas, gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés. Los llevó a Halah, Habor, Hara y al río Gozán, hasta hoy.
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.
