1 Mga Cronica 5
1 At ang mga anak ni Ruben na panganay ni Israel (sapagka't siya ang panganay; nguni't sa paraang kaniyang dinumhan ang higaan ng kaniyang ama, ang kaniyang pagkapanganay ay ibinigay sa mga anak ni Jose na anak ni Israel; at sa talaan ng lahi ay hindi marapat ibilang ayon sa pagkapanganay.
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 Sapagka't si Juda'y nanaig sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at sa kaniya nanggaling ang pangulo; nguni't ang pagkapanganay ay kay Jose: )
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 Ang mga anak ni Ruben na panganay ni Israel: si Enoch, at si Phallu, at si Esron, at si Charmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Ang mga anak ni Joel: si Semaias na kaniyang anak, si Gog na kaniyang anak, si Simi na kaniyang anak,
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 Si Micha na kaniyang anak, si Recaia na kaniyang anak, si Baal na kaniyang anak,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 Si Beera na kaniyang anak, na dinalang bihag ni Tilgath-pilneser na hari sa Asiria: siya'y prinsipe ng mga Rubenita.
Baal’s son was Beerah. Beerah was a leader of the tribe/descendants of Reuben. But Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria captured him and took him to Assyria.
7 At ang kaniyang mga kapatid ayon sa kanilang mga angkan nang bilangin sa talaan ng kanilang mga lahi; ang pinuno'y si Jeiel, at si Zacharias,
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,
8 At si Bela, na anak ni Azaz, na anak ni Sema, na anak ni Joel, na tumatahan sa Aroer, hanggang sa Nebo at Baal-meon:
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 At sa dakong silanganan ay tumahan hanggang sa pasukan sa ilang na mula sa ilog Eufrates, sapagka't ang kanilang mga hayop ay dumami sa lupain ng 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 At sa mga kaarawan ni Saul ay nakipagdigma sila sa mga Hagreo, na nangahulog sa kanilang kamay; at sila'y nagsitahan sa kanilang mga tolda sa buong lupaing silanganan ng Galaad.
When Saul was king [of Israel], Bela’s clan fought against the descendants of Hagar and defeated them. After that, Bela’s clan lived in the tents that the descendants of Hagar had lived in previously, in all the area east of [the] Gilead [region].
11 At ang mga anak ni Gad ay nagsitahan sa tapat nila, sa lupain ng Basan hanggang sa Salca:
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 Si Joel ang pinuno, at si Sepham ang ikalawa, at si Janai, at si Saphat sa Basan:
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 At ang kanilang mga kapatid sa mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang: si Michael, at si Mesullam, at si Seba, at si Jorai, si Jachan, at si Zia, at si Heber, pito.
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 Ang mga ito ang mga anak ni Abihail na anak ni Huri, na anak ni Jaroa, na anak ni Galaad, na anak ni Michael, na anak ni Jesiai, na anak ni Jaddo, na anak ni Buz;
They were descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri’s son. Huri was Jaroah’s son. Jaroah was Gilead’s son. Gilead was Michael’s son. Michael was Jeshishai’s son. Jeshishai was Jahdo’s son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
15 Si Ahi na anak ni Abdiel, na anak ni Guni, na pinuno sa mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang.
Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
16 At sila'y nagsitahan sa Galaad sa Basan, at sa kaniyang mga bayan, at sa lahat ng palibot ng Saron, na kasinglayo ng kanilang mga hangganan.
The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 Ang lahat ng mga ito'y nangasulat sa pamamagitan ng mga talaan ng lahi sa mga kaarawan ni Jotham na hari sa Juda, at sa mga kaarawan ni Jeroboam na hari sa Israel.
All of those names were written in the records of the clans of Gad during the time that Jotham was the king of Judah and Jeroboam was the king of Israel.
18 Ang mga anak ni Ruben, at ang mga Gadita, at ang kalahating lipi ni Manases, na mga matapang na lalake na mga lalaking makadadala ng kalasag at tabak, at makapagpapahilagpos ng busog, at bihasa sa pakikipagdigma, ay apat na pu't apat na libo, at pitong daan at anim na pu na makalalabas sa pakikipagdigma.
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 At sila'y nakipagdigma sa mga Hagreo, kay Jethur, at kay Naphis, at kay Nodab.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 At sila'y tinulungan sa pakikilaban sa kanila, at ang mga Hagreo ay ibinigay sa kanilang kamay, at ang lahat sa nangasa kanila: sapagka't sila'y nagsidalangin sa Dios sa pagbabaka, at kaniyang inayunan sila; sapagka't sila'y naglagak ng kanilang tiwala sa kaniya.
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 At kanilang dinala ang kanilang mga hayop; sa kanilang mga kamelyo ay limangpung libo, at sa mga tupa ay dalawang daan at limangpung libo, at sa mga asno ay dalawang libo, at sa mga lalake ay isang daang libo.
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 Sapagka't maraming nangapatay na nangabuwal, sapagka't ang pagdidigma ay sa Dios. At sila'y nagsitahan na kahalili nila hanggang sa pagkabihag.
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.
23 At ang mga anak ng kalahating lipi ni Manases ay tumahan sa lupain: sila'y nagsidami mula sa Basan hanggang sa Baal-hermon at sa Senir at sa bundok ng Hermon.
There were many people who belonged to the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They lived in [the] Bashan [region east of the Jordan River], as far [north] as Baal-Hermon, Senir, and Hermon Mountain.
24 At ang mga ito ang mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang: sa makatuwid baga'y si Epher, at si Isi, at si Eliel, at si Azriel, at si Jeremias, at si Odavia, at si Jadiel, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang, na mga bantog na lalake, na mga pangulo sa mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang.
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 At sila'y nagsisuway laban sa Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, at yumaong sumamba sa mga dios ng mga bayan ng lupain, na nilipol ng Dios sa harap nila.
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 At hinikayat ng Dios ng Israel ang diwa ni Phul na hari sa Asiria, at ang diwa ni Tilgath-pilneser na hari sa Asiria, at dinalang bihag sila, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga Rubenita, at ang mga Gadita, at ang kalahati ng lipi ni Manases, at dinala hanggang sa Hala, at sa Habor, at sa Hara, at sa ilog ng Gozan, hanggang sa araw na ito.
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.
