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—now Reuben was Israel's firstborn, but his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel because Reuben had defiled his father's couch. So he is not recorded as being the oldest son.
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.
Judah was the strongest of his brothers, and the leader would come from him. But the birthright was Joseph's—

6 Baal te papa Bera, yonn nan chèf fanmi Woubenn yo. Se li menm Tiglat-Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, te depòte.
Baal's son was Beerah, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader in the tribe of Reuben.

and eastward to the start of the wilderness that extends to the Euphrates River. This was because they had many cattle 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.

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 relatives, by their fathers' families, were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.

17 Se sou rèy Jotam, wa peyi Jida, ak Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl, yo te fè rejis sa yo.
All these were listed by genealogical records in the days of Jotham king of Judah and 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 Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers trained for war, who carried shield and sword, and who drew the bow.
19 Yo fè lagè ak moun Aga yo ki te rete lavil Jetou, lavil Nafich ak lavil Nodab.
They attacked the Hagrites, Jetur, 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 received divine help against them. In this way, the Hagrites and all who were with them were defeated. This was because the Israelites cried out to God in the battle, and he responded to them, because they put their trust in him.

Many fell because the battle was from God. They lived in their land until the captivity.

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. They were mighty men, 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.
But they were unfaithful to their ancestors' God. Instead, they worshiped the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had 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.
