1 Chronicles 5

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 Nítorí Juda borí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni aláṣẹ ti ń jáde wá; ṣùgbọ́n ogún ìbí jẹ́ ti Josẹfu),
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.

But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

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,

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 Àti níhà àríwá, o tẹ̀dó lọ títí dé àtiwọ aginjù láti odò Eufurate; nítorí tí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn pọ̀ sí i ní ilẹ̀ Gileadi.
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 Àti ní ọjọ́ Saulu, wọ́n bá àwọn ọmọ Hagari jagun, ẹni tí ó ṣubú nípa ọwọ́ wọn; wọ́n sì ń gbé inú àgọ́ wọn ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ àríwá Gileadi.
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 Àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi ń gbé lékè wọn, ní ilẹ̀ Baṣani títí dé Saleka:
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].

The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 Gbogbo wọ̀nyí ni a kà nípa ìtàn ìdílé, ní ọjọ́ Jotamu ọba Juda, àti ní ọjọ́ Jeroboamu ọba Israẹli.
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.

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 Wọ́n sì bá àwọn ọmọ Hagari jagun, pẹ̀lú Jeturi, àti Nafiṣi àti Nadabu.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].

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 Wọ́n sì kó ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn lọ; ìbákasẹ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n àti àgùntàn ọ̀kẹ́ méjìlá ó lé ẹgbàárùn-ún, àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì, àti ènìyàn ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún.
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 Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni ó ṣubú tí a pa, nítorí láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ogun náà, wọ́n sì jókòó ní ipò wọn títí di ìgbà ìkólọ sí ìgbèkùn.
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 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin ààbọ̀ ẹ̀yà Manase ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà: wọ́n bí sí i láti Baṣani títí dé Baali-Hermoni, àti Seniri àti títí dé òkè Hermoni.
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 Wọ̀nyí sì ni àwọn olórí ilé àwọn baba wọn. Eferi, Iṣi, Elieli, Asrieli, Jeremiah, Hodafiah àti Jahdieli àwọn alágbára akọni ọkùnrin, ọkùnrin olókìkí, àti olórí ilé àwọn baba wọn.
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.

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 Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run Israẹli ru ẹ̀mí Pulu ọba Asiria sókè (èyí ni Tiglat-Pileseri ọba Asiria), ó si kó wọn lọ, àní àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi, àti ààbọ̀ ẹ̀yà Manase lọ sí ìgbèkùn. Ó sì kó wọn wá sí Hala, àti Habori, àti Harani, àti sí etí odò Gosani; títí dí òní yìí.
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.
