1 Nyakati 5
1 Wana wa Rubeni mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli - sasa Rubeni alikuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, lakini haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza ilipewa kwa wana wa Yusufu mwana wa Israeli kwa sababu Rubeni alinajisi kochi la baba yake. Hivyo hajanakiliwa kama mwana wa kwanza.
And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, inasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; but the genealogy is not registered according to the birthright,
2 Yuda alikuwa mwenye nguvu kuliko kaka zake, na kiongozi ata toka kwake. Lakini haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza ilikuwa ya Yusufu -
for Judah prevailed among his brethren, and of him was the prince, but the birthright was Joseph's),
3 wana wa Rubeni, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli alikuwa Hanoki, Palu, Hezroni, na Karmi.
— the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch and Phallu, Hezron and Carmi.
4 Uzao wa Yoeli ulikuwa huu: Mwana wa Yoeli alikuwa Shemaia. Mwana wa Shemaia alikuwa Gogi. Mwana wa Gogi alikuwa Shimei.
The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Mwana wa Shimei alikuwa Mika. Mwana wa Mika alikuwa Reaia. Mwana wa Reaia alikuwa Baali.
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 Mwana wa Baali alikuwa Bera, ambaye Tiligathi Pileseri alimpeleka matekani kule Assiria. Bera alikuwa kiongozi katika kabila la Rubeni.
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
7 Ndugu wa Bera kwa makabila yao ni hawa wafuatao, wameorodheshwa katika nakala za uzao wao: Yeieli wa kwanza, Zekaria, na
And his brethren by their families, in the genealogical register of their generations, were: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8 Bela mwana wa Azazi mwana wa Shema mwana wa Yoeli. Waliishi Aroeri, kwa umbali wa Nebo na Baali Meoni,
and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon;
9 na mwanzo wa mashariki mwa jangwa lenye umbali wa hadi Mto Efarati. Hii ni kwa sababu walikuwa na mifugo mingi katika nchi ya Gileadi.
and eastward he dwelt as far as the entrance to the wilderness from the river Euphrates; for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
10 Katika siku za Sauli, kabila la Rubeni lilishambulia Wahagiri na kuwa shinda. Wakaishi ndani ya hema za Wahagiri katika nchi yote mashariki mwa Gileadi.
And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the east side of Gilead.
11 Kabila la Gadi liliishi karibu nao, katika nchi ya Bashani umbali wa Saleka.
And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salcah:
12 Viongozi wao walikuwa Yoeli, aliyekuwa kichwa wa ukoo, na Shafamu alikuwa kichwa wa ukoo mwingine, na Yanai na Shafati walikuwa wa Bashani.
Joel was the chief and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13 Ndugu zao, kwa familia za baba yao, walikuwa Mikaeli, Meshulamu, Sheba, Yorai, Yakani, na Eberi - jumla saba wote.
And their brethren according to their fathers' houses were Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jaachan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
14 Hawa watu walio tajwa hapo juu ni uzao wa Abihaili, na Abihaili alikuwa mwana wa Huri. Huri alikuwa mwana w a Yaroa. Yaroa alikuwa mwana wa Gileadi. Gileadi alikuwa mwana wa Mikaeli. Mikaeli alikuwa mwana wa Yeshishai. Yeshishai alikuwa mwana wa Yado. Yado alikuwa mwana wa Buzi.
— These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz:
15 Ahi mwana wa Abidieli mwana wa Guni, alikuwa kichwa cha familia ya baba yake.
Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their fathers' house.
16 Waliishi Gileadi, Bashani, katika miji, na katika nchi zote za malisho ya Sharoni kwa umbali wa mipaka yake.
And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the pasture-grounds of Sharon, as far as their limits.
17 Hawa wote waliorodheshwa katika nakaka za uzao katika siku za Yothamu mfalme wa Yuda na Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli.
All these were registered by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Warubeni, Wagadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase walikuwa na wana jeshi elfu arobaini na nne walio fuzu kwa vita, walio beba ngao na upanga, na pinde na mishale.
The children of Reuben and the Gadites and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword, drawing the bow and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, able to go forth to war.
19 Waliwashambulia Wahagri, Yeturi, Nafishi, na Nodabu.
And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab;
20 Walipokea msaada wa Kimungu dhidi yao. Katika hili Wahagri na wote walio kuwa nao walishindwa. Hii ni kwa sababu Waisraeli walipaza sauti katika vita, na yeye akawajibu, kwa sababu waliweka tumaini lao kwake.
and they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them, because they put their trust in him.
21 Walikamata wanya wao, pamoja na ngamia elfu hamsini, kondoo 250, 000, punda elfu mbili, na wanaume 100, 000.
And they took away their cattle: their camels fifty thousand, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand human souls.
22 Kwa sababu Mungu aliwapigania, waliua maadui wengi. Waliishi katika nchi yao mpaka mateka.
For there fell down many slain, for the war was of God. And they dwelt in their stead until the captivity.
23 Baadhi ya watu wa kabila la Manase waliishi katika nchi ya Bashani kwa umbali wa Hermoni na Seniri (hiyo ni, Mlima Hermoni).
And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan as far as Baal-Hermon and Senir, and mount Hermon; they were many.
24 Hawa walikuwa viongozi wa familia zao: Eferi, Ishi, Elieli, Azrieli, Yeremia, Hodavia, na Yahdieli. Walikuwa wenye nguvu na wanaume wa jasiri, wanaume maharufu, viongozi wa familia zao.
And these were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, and Jishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.
25 Lakini walikuwa sio wa aminifu kwa Mungu wa babu zao. Badala yake, waliabudu miungu ya watu waio nchi, ambao Mungu aliwaangamiza mbele yao.
And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 Mungu wa Israeli alimchochea Puli mfalme wa Assiria ( ambaye pia uitwa Tiligathi Pileseri, mfalme wa Assiria). Aliwa peleka matekani Warubeni, Wagadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase. Aliwaleta kwa Hala, Habori, Hara, na kwenye mto wa Gozani, ambapo wapo adi leo.
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, — unto this day.
