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.

The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.

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 Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright 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 Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 Joèl te papa Chemaja, Chemaja te papa Gòg, Gòg te papa Chimeyi,

The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

5 Chimeyi te papa Mika, Mika te papa Reaja, Reaja te papa Baal.

Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 Baal te papa Bera, yonn nan chèf fanmi Woubenn yo. Se li menm Tiglat-Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, te depòte.

and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.

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,

His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was listed: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

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 Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon;

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 even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

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.

In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

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 beside them in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

12 Joèl te vin an premye. Apre li te gen Chafam, Janayi ak Chafat nan peyi Bazan.

Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

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.

Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, 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 were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

15 Aki, pitit Abdyèl, pitit pitit Gouni, te zansèt tout fanmi sa yo.

Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses.

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 Gilead in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sharon as far as their borders.

17 Se sou rèy Jotam, wa peyi Jida, ak Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl, yo te fè rejis sa yo.

All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, 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 Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, able to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand and seven hundred and sixty that were able to go out to war.

19 Yo fè lagè ak moun Aga yo ki te rete lavil Jetou, lavil Nafich ak lavil Nodab.

They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

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.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in 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.

They took away their livestock: of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

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. 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.

The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

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.

These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

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.

They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed 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.

So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried away the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
