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 asefoɔ na wɔyɛɛ abusuakuo a wɔwɔ tumi pa ara, ne saa enti wɔyii ɔman no sodifoɔ firi wɔn mu, nanso, mpaninnie no deɛ, na ɛyɛ Yosef dea.

for Judah has been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright [is] to Joseph—

3 Israel abakan Ruben no mmammarima ne: Hanok, Palu, Hesron ne Karmi.

sons of Reuben, firstborn of Israel: Enoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he [is] prince of the Reubenite.

7 Wɔatwerɛ Beera nkurɔfoɔ din sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne abusua no teɛ: Yeiel ne wɔn ntuanoni, ɛnna Sakaria

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 anantwie bebree wɔ Gilead asase so no enti, wɔdidi kɔɔ apueeɛ fam wɔ anweatam a ɛtrɛ 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 pɛn so, Rubenfoɔ dii Hagarfoɔ so nkonim wɔ ɔko mu. Enti, wɔtu kɔɔ Hagarfoɔ atenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Gilead apueeɛ 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.

11 Basan asase so no, na Gad asefoɔ na wɔtete asase a ɛdi Rubenfoɔ deɛ no so. Wɔtrɛ kɔɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsii Saleka.

And the sons of Gad have dwelt opposite them in the land of Bashan to Salcah:

12 Na Yoɛl na ɔtua wɔn ano wɔ Basan asase so. Na Safam, Yanai ne Safat yɛ nʼaboafoɔ.

Joel the head, and Shapham the second, and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan;

13 Na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ ntuanofoɔ ma mmusua afoforɔ nson din ne: Mikael, Mesulam, Seba, Yorai, Yakan, Sia ne Eber.

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 Yeinom nyinaa yɛ Huri babarima Abihail a ɔyɛ Yaroa babarima, Gilead babarima, Mikael babarima, Yesisai babarima Yahdo babarima, Bus babarima.

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;

Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, [is] head of the house of their fathers;

16 Gadfoɔ no tenaa Gilead asase a ɛwɔ Basan ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Saron tata no nyinaa so.

and they dwell in Gilead in Bashan, and in her small towns, and in all outskirts of Sharon, on their outskirts;

17 Yudahene Yotam ne Israelhene Yeroboam ɛberɛ so na wɔtwerɛɛ yeinom nyinaa guu abusuadua nkrataa mu.

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 akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ Ruben, Gad mmusua ne Manase abusua fa mu no ano si ɔpeduanan ɛnan ahanson ne aduosia. Wɔkurakura akokyɛm, akofena ne agyan, na wɔn nyinaa akwadare wɔ akodie 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 Hagarfoɔ, Yeturfoɔ, Nafisfoɔ ne Nodabfoɔ.

And they make war with the Hagarites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,

20 Wɔsu frɛɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔko no mu, na ɔtiee wɔn mpaeɛbɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn ho too no so. Enti, wɔdii Hagarfoɔ 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 Asadeɛ a wɔfa firii Hagarfoɔ no nkyɛn no yɛ nyoma ɔpeduonum, nnwan ɔpehanu aduonum, mfunumu mpenu ne nneduafoɔ ɔpeha.

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 Wɔkunkumm Hagarfoɔ no bebree ɔko no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn reko tia wɔn. Enti, wɔtenaa wɔn asase so, kɔsii sɛ wɔtwaa wɔn asuo.

for many have fallen pierced, for the battle [is] of God; and they dwell in their stead until the expulsion.

23 Manase abusua fa no trɛɛ wɔ asase no so firi Basan kɔsii Baal-Hermon, Senir ne bepɔ Hermon ho. Na wɔdɔɔso yie.

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 Yeinom ne wɔn mmusua no ntuanofoɔ: Efer, Yisi, Eliel, Asriel, Yeremia, Hodawia ne Yahdiel. Na wɔn mu biara agye edin sɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ ne ɔkandifoɔ.

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 wɔnni nokorɛ, na wɔbuu wɔn agyanom ne Onyankopɔn apam no so. Wɔsomm 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 Onyankopɔn de hyɛɛ Asiriahene Pul (a na wɔsane frɛ no Tiglat-Pileser) akoma mu sɛ ɔnko mfa asase no, na ɔnkyekyere Rubenfoɔ, Gadfoɔ ne Manasefoɔ abusua fa sɛ nneduafoɔ. Asiariafoɔ no twaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Halah, Habor, Hara ne Asubɔnten Gosan ho a wɔda so te hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

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.
