1 Nyakati 5
1 Wana wa Reubeni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli (yeye alikuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza, lakini kwa kuwa alikinajisi kitanda cha baba yake, haki zake za mzaliwa wa kwanza walipewa wana wa Yosefu mwana wa Israeli. Hivyo hakuorodheshwa kwenye orodha ya ukoo wao kulingana na haki yake ya kuzaliwa.
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 Na ingawa Yuda alikuwa na nguvu zaidi ya ndugu zake wote, na mtawala alitoka kwake, haki za mzaliwa wa kwanza zilikuwa za Yosefu.)
for Judah has been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph—
3 Wana wa Reubeni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli walikuwa: Hanoki, Palu, Hesroni na Karmi.
sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel: Enoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Wazao wa Yoeli walikuwa: Shemaya mwanawe, Gogu mwanawe; Shimei mwanawe,
Sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Mika mwanawe, Reaya mwanawe, Baali mwanawe,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Ba‘al his son,
6 na Beera mwanawe, ambaye Tiglath-Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru alimchukua kwenda uhamishoni. Beera alikuwa kiongozi wa Wareubeni.
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite.
7 Jamaa zao kulingana na koo zao, walioorodheshwa kwa kufuata koo zao kama ifuatavyo: Yeieli aliyekuwa mkuu wao, Zekaria,
And his brothers, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8 Bela mwana wa Azazi, mwana wa Shema, mwana wa Yoeli. Hao waliishi katika eneo kuanzia Aroeri mpaka Nebo na Baal-Meoni.
and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel—he is dwelling in Aroer, even to Nebo and Ba‘al-Meon;
9 Kwa upande wa mashariki walienea hadi pembeni mwa jangwa linaloenea mpaka kwenye Mto Frati, kwa sababu mifugo yao ilikuwa imeongezeka huko Gileadi.
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 Wakati wa utawala wa Mfalme Sauli, walipigana vita dhidi ya Wahagari, wakaanguka kwa mikono yao, kisha wakaishi katika mahema ya Wahagari katika eneo lote la mashariki ya Gileadi.
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 Wagadi waliishi jirani nao katika nchi ya Bashani, mpaka Saleka.
And the sons of Gad have dwelt opposite them in the land of Bashan to Salcah:
12 Yoeli ndiye alikuwa mkuu wao, Shafamu wa pili, na wakafuata Yanai na Shafati, huko Bashani.
Joel the head, and Shapham the second, and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan;
13 Ndugu zao kulingana na koo zao walikuwa saba: Mikaeli, Meshulamu, Sheba, Yorai, Yakani, Zia na Eberi.
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 Hawa walikuwa ndio wana wa Abihaili mwana wa Huri, mwana wa Yaroa, mwana wa Gileadi, mwana wa Mikaeli, mwana wa Yeshishai, mwana wa Yahdo, mwana wa Buzi.
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 Ahi mwana wa Abdieli, mwana wa Guni, alikuwa ndiye kiongozi wa jamaa yao.
Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, [is] head of the house of their fathers;
16 Wagadi waliishi Gileadi, huko Bashani pamoja na vijiji vilivyoizunguka, pia katika nchi yote ya malisho ya Sharoni kote walikoenea.
and they dwell in Gilead in Bashan, and in her small towns, and in all outskirts of Sharon, on their outskirts;
17 Yote haya yaliwekwa katika kumbukumbu za ukoo wao wakati wa utawala wa Yothamu, mfalme wa Yuda na Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli.
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 Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase walikuwa na watu mashujaa 44,760 waliokuwa wameandaliwa kwa ajili ya vita: watu wenye nguvu, hodari wa kutumia ngao na upanga, mashujaa wa kutumia upinde, waliokuwa tayari kwa ajili ya kazi hiyo.
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 Walipigana vita dhidi ya Wahagari, Yeturi, Nafishi na Nodabu.
And they make war with the Hagarites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,
20 Walisaidiwa katika kupigana nao, Mungu akawatia Wahagari pamoja na wote walioungana nao mikononi mwao, kwa sababu walimlilia Mungu wakati wa vita. Alijibu maombi yao, kwa sababu walimtegemea.
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 Walitwaa mifugo ya Wahagari: ngamia 50,000, kondoo 250,000, punda 2,000. Pia wakateka watu 100,000,
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 na wengine wengi waliuawa kwa sababu vita vilikuwa ni vya Mungu. Nao waliendelea kuikalia nchi hiyo mpaka wakati wa uhamisho.
for many have fallen pierced, for the battle [is] of God; and they dwell in their stead until the expulsion.
23 Idadi ya nusu ya kabila la Manase walikuwa wengi sana, Wakakaa kuanzia Bashani hadi Baal-Hermoni, yaani mpaka Seniri na mlima Hermoni.
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 Hawa ndio waliokuwa viongozi wa jamaa za kabila hilo: Eferi, Ishi, Elieli, Azrieli, Yeremia, Hodavia na Yahdieli. Walikuwa askari shujaa watu maarufu, viongozi wa jamaa zao.
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 Lakini hawakuwa waaminifu kwa Mungu wa baba zao, nao wakafanya ukahaba kwa miungu ya mataifa, ambayo Mungu alikuwa ameyaangamiza mbele yao.
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 Kwa hiyo Mungu wa Israeli akaiamsha roho ya Pulu, mfalme wa Ashuru (ambaye pia alijulikana kama Tiglath-Pileseri), ambaye aliwachukua Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase kwenda uhamishoni. Akawapeleka huko Hala, Habori, Hara na mto Gozani, ambako wamekaa mpaka leo.
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.
