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.
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. (Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because he had defiled his father's bed. That is why Reuben is not listed in the genealogy according to birthright,
2 Yuda alikuwa mwenye nguvu kuliko kaka zake, na kiongozi ata toka kwake. Lakini haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza ilikuwa ya Yusufu -

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.
On the eastern side they expanded into the land right up to the edge of the desert that continues to the Euphrates River, because their flocks had grown so big in 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.
In the time of Saul they went to war against the Hagrites, defeating them. They took over the places where the Hagrites had lived in all the regions east of Gilead.

The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 battle-ready strong warriors capable of using shields and swords and bows.
19 Waliwashambulia Wahagri, Yeturi, Nafishi, na Nodabu.
They went to war against the Hagrites, Jetur, 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.
They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
21 Walikamata wanya wao, pamoja na ngamia elfu hamsini, kondoo 250, 000, punda elfu mbili, na wanaume 100, 000.

These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, heads of their families.
25 Lakini walikuwa sio wa aminifu kwa Mungu wa babu zao. Badala yake, waliabudu miungu ya watu waio nchi, ambao Mungu aliwaangamiza mbele yao.
But they were unfaithful to the God of their forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that 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.
So the God of Israel encouraged of Pul, king of Assyria, (otherwise known as Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), to invade the land. He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
