1 Cronache 5
1 OR [questi furono] i figliuoli di Ruben, primogenito d'Israele (perciocchè egli [era] il primogenito; ma dopo ch'ebbe contaminato il letto di suo padre, la sua primogenitura fu data a' figliuoli di Giuseppe, figliuolo d'Israele; non però per tenere il luogo della primogenitura nella genealogia.
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 Perciocchè Giuda ebbe la maggioranza sopra i suoi fratelli; e di lui [sono] usciti i conduttori; ma [il diritto del]la primogenitura [fu dato] a Giuseppe).
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.
3 I figliuoli, [dico], di Ruben, primogenito d'Israele, [furono] Hanoc, e Pallu, Hesron, e Carmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Il figliuolo di Ioel [fu] Semaia, di cui [fu] figliuolo Gog, di cui [fu] figliuolo Simi,
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 di cui [fu] figliuolo Mica, di cui [fu] figliuolo Reaia, di cui [fu] figliuolo Baal,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 di cui [fu] figliuolo Beera, il quale Tilgat-pilneser, re degli Assiri, meno in cattività. Esso [fu] capo principale de' Rubeniti.
Baal’s son was Beerah. Beerah was a leader of the tribe/descendants of Reuben. But Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria captured him and took him to Assyria.
7 E de' suoi fratelli, per le lor famiglie, quando la lor genealogia fu composta per le lor generazioni, i capi [furono] Ieiel, e Zaccaria, e Bela,
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,
8 figliuolo di Azaz, figliuolo di Sema, figliuolo di Ioel. Esso abitò in Aroer, fino a Nebo, ed a Baal-meon.
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 Dipoi egli abitò verso il Levante, dal fiume Eufrate, fino all'entrata del deserto; perciocchè i lor bestiami erano moltiplicati nel paese di Galaad.
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 Laonde, al tempo di Saulle, fecero guerra contro agli Hagareni, i quali caddero uccisi per le lor mani; ed essi abitarono nelle loro stanze, lungo tutta la parte orientale di Galaad.
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 E I figliuoli di Gad abitarono dirimpetto a loro, nel paese di Basan, fino a Salca.
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 Ioel [fu] il capo principale in Basan, e Safan, il secondo; poi Ianai, poi Safat.
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 E i lor fratelli, secondo le famiglie loro paterne, [furono] Micael, e Mesullam, e Seba, e Iorai, e Iacan, e Zia, ed Eber; sette [in tutto].
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 Questi [erano] figliuoli di Abihail, figliuolo di Huri, figliuolo di Iaroa, figliuolo di Galaad, figliuolo di Micael, figliuolo di Iesisai, figliuolo di Iado, figliuolo di Buz.
They were descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri’s son. Huri was Jaroah’s son. Jaroah was Gilead’s son. Gilead was Michael’s son. Michael was Jeshishai’s son. Jeshishai was Jahdo’s son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
15 Ahi, figliuolo di Abdiel, figliuolo di Guni, [fu] il capo principale delle famiglie loro paterne.
Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
16 Ed essi abitarono in Galaad, ed in Basan, e nelle terre del suo territorio, ed in tutto il contado di Saron, fino alle sue uscite.
The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 La genealogia di tutti costoro fu composta per le lor generazioni al tempo di Giotam, re di Giuda, ed al tempo di Geroboamo, re d'Israele.
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.
18 I figliuoli di Ruben, e i Gaditi, e la mezza tribù di Manasse, [in numero di] quarantaquattromila settecensessanta d'infra gli uomini prodi, che portavano scudo e spada, e tiravano l'arco, ed erano ammaestrati alla guerra, per uscir fuori in battaglia,
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 fecero guerra agli Hagareni, ed a Ietur, ed a Nafis, ed a Nodab.
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
20 Ed ebbero soccorso contro a loro; talchè gli Hagareni, e tutti quelli che [erano] con loro furono dati nelle lor mani; perciocchè essi gridarono a Dio nella battaglia, ed egli li esaudì; perciocchè si erano confidati in lui.
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 E presero i lor bestiami, [in numero di] cinquantamila cammelli, e dugencinquantamila pecore, duemila asini, e centomila anime umane.
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 Perciocchè molti erano caduti uccisi; perchè quella battaglia [era] da Dio; ed essi abitarono in luogo loro fino al tempo della cattività.
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 I FIGLIUOLI della mezza tribù di Manasse abitarono anch'essi in quel paese; e moltiplicarono da Basan fino a Baal-hermon, ed a Senir, ed alla montagna di Hermon.
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 E questi [furono] i capi delle lor famiglie paterne: Efer, ed Isi, ed Eliel, ed Azriel, e Geremia, ed Hodavia, e Iadiel, uomini di valore, e famosi, capi delle lor famiglie paterne.
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.
25 Ma essi commisero misfatto contro all'Iddio de' lor padri, e fornicarono dietro agl'iddii de' popoli del paese, i quali il Signore avea distrutti d'innanzi a loro.
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 Laonde l'Iddio d'Israele eccitò lo spirito di Pul, re degli Assiri; e lo spirito di Tilgat-pilneser, re degli Assiri, i quali ne menarono in cattività i Rubeniti, e i Gaditi, e la mezza tribù di Manasse; e li condussero in Hala, ed in Habor, ed in Hara, e [presso al] fiume Gozan, [dove son] restati fino al dì d'oggi.
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.
