1 Chronicles 5

1 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.

Israel calu Reuben ih caanawk, anih loe calu ah oh, toe ampa ih iihkhun to amhnongsak pongah, calu ah ohhaih ahmuen to Israel capa Joeseph ih caanawk hanah paek ving boeh; to pongah acaeng paruihaih loe calu ah ohhaih baktiah tarik o ai.

2 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—

Calu ah ohhaih loe Joseph ih qawk ah oh boeh, toe anih ih nawkamya thung hoiah ukkung, thacak koek Judah to tacawt,

3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

Israel calu Reuben ih caanawk loe Hanok, Pallu, Hezron hoi Karmi.

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

Joel ih caanawk loe Shemaiah capa Gog, Gog capa Shimei,

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

Shimei capa Mikah, Mikah capa Reaiah, Reaiah capa Baal, Baal capa,

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

Beerah, anih loe Assyria siangpahrang Tilgath-Pileser mah misong ah naeh; Beerah loe Reuben kaminawk zaehoikung ah oh.

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

Nihcae ih nawkamya Jeiel hoi Zekariah loe acaeng anghumhaih ahmin paruihaih cabu thungah pakuem o;

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

Joel capa Shema, Shema capa Azaz, Azaz capa Bela loe Aroer vangpui, Nebo vangpui hoi Baal-meon vangpui khoek to oh o;

9 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.

Gilead prae ah nihcae mah pacah ih maitawnawk loe paroeai pung pongah, ni angyae bang ih Euphrate vapui hoi praezaek ramri karoek to akun o moe, khosak o.

10 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.

Saul siangpahrang dung ah Hagar ih kaminawk to tuk o moe, nihcae pazawk pongah Hagar kaminawk ohhaih prae Gilead ni angyae bang boih ah khosak o.

11 The sons of Gad lived beside them in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

Gad kaminawk loe nihcae taengah khosak o; Bashan prae thung Salekah vangpui khoek to oh o;

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

Joel loe kalen koek ah oh, Shapham loe hnetto haih ah oh, to pacoengah Jaanai hoi Shaphat loe Bashan ah oh hoi.

13 Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven.

Nihcae ih acaengnawk loe Mikael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia hoi Eber; sangqum boih ah sarihto oh o.

14 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;

Hae kaminawk loe Huri capa Abihail ih caa ah oh o; Huri loe Jaroah capa, Jaroah loe Gilead capa, Gilead loe Mikael capa, Mikael loe Jeshishai capa, Jeshishai loe Jahdo capa, Jahdo loe Buz capa ah oh;

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

Guni ih capa loe Abdiel, Abdiel ih capa Ahi loe nihcae acaeng lu koek ah oh.

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

Gad kaminawk loe Gilead prae, Bashan prae ih vangtanawk hoi Sharon vangpui karoek to oh o.

17 All these were listed by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

Hae acaeng anghum paruihaih cabu thung ih ahminnawk boih loe Judah siangpahrang Jotham dung hoi Israel siangpahrang Jeroboam dung naah lak o.

18 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.

Reuben kaminawk, Gad kaminawk hoi ahap Manasseh acaeng thungah misatukhaih aphaw hoi sumsen sin thaih kami, kalii kaat kop kami, misatuk kop kami sing pali, sang pali, cumvai sarih, quitarukto misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah caeh o.

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

Nihcae mah Hagar, Jetur, Naphish hoi Nodab kaminawk to tuk o.

20 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.

Misa a tuk o naah, Sithaw oephaih hoiah lawk a thuih o pongah, Sithaw mah nihcae to abomh moe, Hagar ih kaminawk hoi a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk to nihcae hanah paek boih.

21 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.

Hagar kaminawk ih maitawnawk to lak pae o king; tahnongsawk hrang sing panga, tuu sing pumphae, sang quipangato, laa hrang sang hnetto hoi kami doeh sing hato misong ah hoih o.

22 For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

Sithaw oephaih hoiah misa a tuk o pongah, kami paroeai duek o. Israel kaminawk misong ah caeh o ai karoek to, Hagar kaminawk ih prae thungah oh o.

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

Ahap Manasseh acaeng loe prae thung ih, Bashan vangpui, Baal-Hermon vangpui, Senir vangpui hoi Hermon mae karoek to oh o.

24 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.

Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah hoi Jahdiel cae loe hae acaengnawk ih lu koek ah oh o, nihcae loe thacak kami, ahmin doeh kamthang misatuh kami ah oh o.

25 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.

Nihcae loe angmacae ampanawk ih Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih to sak o moe, nihcae hmaa ah Sithaw mah paro pae ih, to prae ah kaom kaminawk ih sithaw hoiah zaehaih a sak o.

26 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.

To pongah Israel Sithaw mah Assyria siangpahrang Pul hoi siangpahrang Tiglath-Pileser ih muithla to pahruek pae moe, Reuben kaminawk, Gad kaminawk hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk to tamna ah caeh haih; anih mah nihcae to Gozan vapui taeng ih Halah, Habor, Hara vangpui ah caeh o haih tathuk, nihcae loe to ahmuen ah vaihni ni khoek to oh o.
