1 Crónicas 5
1 Y los hijos de Rubén primogénito de Israel, (porque él era el primogénito, mas como contaminó el lecho de su padre, sus primogenituras fueron dadas a los hijos de José, hijo de Israel, y no fue contado por 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 Porque Judá fue el mayorazgo sobre sus hermanos, y el príncipe de ellos: y la primogenitura fue de 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.
3 Los hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel, fueron Jenoc, Fallu, Jesrón, y Carmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

7 Y sus hermanos por sus familias, cuando eran contados en sus descendencias, tenían por príncipes a Jehiel y a Zacarías.
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,

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 Habitó también desde el oriente hasta la entrada del desierto, desde el río de Éufrates; porque tenían muchos ganados 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].
10 Y en los días de Saul trajeron guerra contra los Agarenos; los cuales cayeron en su mano, y ellos habitaron en sus tiendas sobre toda la haz oriental de Galaad.

18 Los hijos de Rubén, y de Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés fueron valientes hombres, hombres que traían escudo y espada, y que entesaban arco, diestros en guerra, cuarenta y cuatro mil y sietecientos y sesenta que salían en batalla.
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 Y tuvieron guerra con los Agarenos, y Jetur, y Nafis, y Nodab.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 Y fueron ayudados contra ellos, y los Agarenos se dieron en sus manos, y todos los que eran con ellos, porque clamaron a Dios en la guerra, y fuéles favorable, porque esperaron en él.
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 Y tomaron sus ganados, cincuenta mil camellos, y doscientas y cincuenta mil ovejas, dos mil asnos, y cien mil personas.
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 Y cayeron muchos heridos, porque la guerra era de Dios, y habitaron en sus lugares hasta la transmigración.
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.

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 Mas se rebelaron contra el Dios de sus padres, y fornicaron siguendo los dioses de los pueblos de la tierra, a los cuales Jehová había quitado 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 Dios de Israel despertó el espíritu de Ful rey de los Asirios, y el espíritu de Teglat-palasar rey de los Asirios, el cual trasportó a los Rubenitas y Gaditas, y a la media tribu de Manasés, y los llevó a Halah, y a Habor, y a Ara, y al río de 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.
