1 Istwa 5
1 Men moun branch fanmi Woubenn, premye pitit Izrayèl la. Se Woubenn ki te premye pitit gason, men li te pèdi dwa premye pitit li paske li te kouche ak yonn nan madanm papa l' yo. Se pitit Jozèf yo, yon lòt pitit Izrayèl, yo te bay dwa premye pitit la. Tansèlman, yo pa t' pote non Jozèf la sou rejis tankou premye pitit.
And the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel (for he [was] the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;
2 Lèfini, se branch fanmi Jida a ki te vin pi fò. Se li menm ki bay yon chèf pou gouvènen tout branch fanmi yo. Men tout jan, se Jozèf yo te bay dwa premye pitit la.
for Judas [was] very mighty even among his brethren, and one was to be a ruler out of him: but the blessing [was] Joseph's).
3 Woubenn, pi gran nan pitit gason Izrayèl yo, te gen kat pitit gason: Enòk, Palou, Ezwon ak Kami.
The sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi.
4 Joèl te papa Chemaja, Chemaja te papa Gòg, Gòg te papa Chimeyi,
The sons of Joel; Semei, and Banaia his son: and the sons of Gug the son of Semei.
5 Chimeyi te papa Mika, Mika te papa Reaja, Reaja te papa Baal.
His son [was] Micha, his son Recha, his son Joel,
6 Baal te papa Bera, yonn nan chèf fanmi Woubenn yo. Se li menm Tiglat-Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, te depòte.
his son Beel, whom Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria carried away captive: he [is] the chief of the Rubenites.
7 Men lis lòt chèf fanmi Woubenn yo dapre rejis kote yo te ekri non yo. N'ap konmanse ak pi ansyen an. Te gen Jeyèl, Zakari,
And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia.
8 Bela, pitit Aza, pitit pitit Chema nan branch fanmi Joèl. Se yo ki te rete nan zòn Awoyè, rive Nebo ak Baal Meon sou nan nò.
And Balec the son of Azuz, the son of Sama, the son of Joel: he lived in Aroer, and even to Naban, and Beelmasson.
9 Yo te gen anpil mouton ak kabrit nan tout peyi Galarad la. Se konsa yo pran tout peyi a depi bò dezè a rive jouk bò larivyè Lefrat bò solèy leve.
And he lived eastward to the borders of the wilderness, from the river Euphrates: for they had much cattle in the land of Galaad.
10 Sou rèy wa Sayil, moun Woubenn yo atake moun Aga yo. Yo bat yo, yo pran tout tè moun yo ki sou bò solèy leve nan peyi Galarad.
And in the days of Saul they made war upon the sojourners [in the land]; and they fell into their hands, all of them dwelling in their tents eastward of Galaad.
11 Branch fanmi Gad la te rete sou bò nò moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, nan peyi Bazan, rive Salka sou bò solèy leve.
The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela.
12 Joèl te vin an premye. Apre li te gen Chafam, Janayi ak Chafat nan peyi Bazan.
Joel the firstborn, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan.
13 Lòt moun nan fanmi an te fè sèt branch. Men non branch fanmi yo, dapre non zansèt yo: Mikayèl, Mechoulam, Cheba, Jorayi, Jakan, Zya ak Ebè.
And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven.
14 Yo tout te pitit Abikayil ki te pitit Ouri. Ouri te pitit Jawoja ki te pitit Galarad. Galarad te pitit Mikayèl ki te pitit Jechichayi. Jechichayi te pitit Jakdo ki te pitit Bouz.
These [are] the sons of Abichaia the son of Uri, the son of Idai, the son of Galaad, the son of Michael, the son of Jesai, the son of Jeddai, the son of Buz,
15 Aki, pitit Abdyèl, pitit pitit Gouni, te zansèt tout fanmi sa yo.
[who was] the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, [he was] chief of the house of their families.
16 Yo te rete nan peyi Bazan ak nan peyi Galarad, nan lavil yo ak nan tout savann patiraj peyi Sawon an.
They lived in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and [in] all the country round about Saron to the border.
17 Se sou rèy Jotam, wa peyi Jida, ak Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl, yo te fè rejis sa yo.
The enumeration of [them] all took place in the days of Joatham king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 Branch fanmi Woubenn lan, branch fanmi Gad la ak mwatye branch fanmi Manase a te gen antou karannkatmil sètsanswasant (44.760) sòlda, tout vanyan gason, ki konn sèvi ak pwotèj an fè ak nepe, ak banza. Yo te abil nan fè lagè.
The sons of Ruben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasse, of mighty men, bearing shields and sword, and bending the bow, and skilled in war, [were] forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going forth to battle.
19 Yo fè lagè ak moun Aga yo ki te rete lavil Jetou, lavil Nafich ak lavil Nodab.
And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans,
20 Yo pa t' pou kont yo nan batay la. Yo te mete konfyans yo nan Bondye. Pandan batay la, yo lapriyè mande l' konkou. Bondye reponn yo, li lage tout moun Aga yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te avèk moun Aga yo nan men yo.
and they prevailed against them: and the Agaraeans were given into their hands, [they] and all their tents: for they cried to God in the battle, and he listened to them, because they trusted on him.
21 Yo pran senkantmil (50.000) chamo, desansenkantmil (250.000) mouton ak kabrit, demil (2.000) bourik nan men lènmi yo. Yo fè sanmil (100.000) prizonye.
And they took captive their store; five thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
22 Yo touye anpil ladan lènmi yo paske batay la se Bondye menm ki t'ap mennen l' pou yo. Se konsa yo rete nan zòn sa a jouk jou yo depòte yo.
For many fell slain, because the war [was] of God. And they lived in their place until the captivity.
23 Moun mwatye branch fanmi Manase ki sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden an te rete nan zòn ki soti Bazan moute nan nò rive Baalèmòn, lavil Sini ak mòn Emon. Yo te peple anpil.
And the half-tribe of Manasse lived from Basan to Baal, Ermon, and Sanir, and [to] the mount Aermon: and they increased in Libanus.
24 Men non chèf fanmi yo: Efè, Icheyi, Eliyèl, Azryèl, Jeremi, Odavya ak Jadyèl. Mesye sa yo te vanyan sòlda, chèf fanmi yo. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
And these were the heads of the houses of their families; Opher, and Sei, and Eliel, and Jeremia, and Oduia, and Jediel, mighty men of valour, men of renown, heads of the houses of their families.
25 Men, pèp la te vire do bay Bondye zansèt yo a, y' al kouri fè sèvis pou bondye lòt nasyon Bondye te disparèt pou fè plas pou yo.
But they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and went a-whoring after the gods of the nations of the land, whom God cast out from before them.
26 Se poutèt sa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la fè Poul, wa peyi Lasiri a ki te rele Tiglat-Pilesè tou, anvayi peyi yo a, depòte moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ak moun mwatye branch fanmi Manase yo. Li mennen yo lavil Ala, lavil Abò, lavil Ara ak bò larivyè Gozan kote yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phaloch king of Assyria, and the spirit of Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria, and carried away Ruben and Gaddi, and the half-tribe of Manasse, and brought them to Chaach, and Chabor, and to the river Gozan, until this day.
