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 Yuda asefo na wɔyɛɛ abusuakuw a wɔwɔ tumi pa ara; ne saa nti woyii ɔman no sodifo fii wɔn mu, nanso mpanyinni no de, na ɛyɛ Yosef dea.
for Judah has been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph—

And his brothers, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, [are] heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah,

and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel—he is dwelling in Aroer, even to Nebo and Ba‘al-Meon;
9 Esiane sɛ na wɔwɔ anantwi bebree wɔ Gilead asase so no nti, wodidi kɔɔ apuei fam wɔ nweatam a ɛtrɛw kɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate no ho.
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 Ɔhene Saulo bere so, Rubenfo dii Hagarfo so nkonim wɔ ɔko mu. Enti wotu kɔɔ Hagarfo atenae a ɛwɔ Gilead apuei fam hɔ no.
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.

and their brothers of the house of their fathers [are] Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber—seven.

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;

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 Na akofo akɛse a wɔwɔ Ruben, Gad mmusua ne Manase abusua fa mu no ano si mpem aduanan anan ahanson ne aduosia. Wokurakura nkatabo, mfoa ne agyan, na wɔn nyinaa akwadaw wɔ akodi mu.
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 Wɔko tiaa Hagarfo, Yeturfo, Nafisfo ne Nodabfo.
And they make war with the Hagarites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,
20 Wosu frɛɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔko no mu, na otiee wɔn mpaebɔ, efisɛ wɔde wɔn ho too ne so. Enti wodii Hagarfo no ne wɔn dɔm nyinaa so nkonim.
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 Asade a wɔfa fii Hagarfo no nkyɛn no yɛ yoma mpem aduonum, nguan mpem ahannu aduonum, mfurum mpenu ne nneduafo mpem ɔha.
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;

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 Nanso na wonni nokware, na wobuu wɔn agyanom ne Onyankopɔn apam no so. Wɔsom aman a Onyankopɔn sɛee wɔn no anyame.
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 Enti Israel Nyankopɔn de hyɛɛ Asiriahene Pul (a na wɔsan frɛ no Tilgat-Pilneser) koma mu sɛ ɔnko mfa asase no, na ɔnkyekyere Rubenfo, Gadfo ne Manasefo abusua fa sɛ nneduafo. Asiriafo no twaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Halah, Habor, Hara ne Asubɔnten Gosan ho a wɔda so te hɔ besi nnɛ.
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.
