1 Chronicles 5

1 These were the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, because Reuben defiled his father’s bed. So he is not reckoned according to birthright.

1 以色列的长子原是吕便，但因为他玷污了父亲的床 ，他长子的名分就给了他弟弟约瑟的后代。因此，按家谱他不是长子。

2 And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.

2 犹大虽然在众弟兄中最强大，君王也是出自他的后裔，长子的名分却属于约瑟。

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

3 以色列长子吕便的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯伦和迦米。

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

4 约珥的儿子是示玛雅，示玛雅的儿子是歌革，歌革的儿子是示每，

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

5 示每的儿子是米迦，米迦的儿子是利亚雅，利亚雅的儿子是巴力，

6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

6 巴力的儿子是备拉。备拉是吕便支派的首领，被亚述王提革拉·毗尼色掳去。

7 His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,

7 按家谱记载，他做族长的亲族是耶利、撒迦利雅和比拉。

8 and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.

8 比拉是亚撒的儿子，亚撒是示玛的儿子，示玛是约珥的儿子。约珥住在亚罗珥至尼波和巴力·免一带。

9 They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead.

9 他们的牲畜在基列增多，便又向东迁移到幼发拉底河西边的旷野。

10 During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands, and they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the region east of Gilead.

10 扫罗执政期间，吕便人与夏甲人交战，打败了夏甲人，占领了他们在基列东边的整片土地。

11 The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:

11 迦得的后代住在毗邻吕便支派的巴珊，向东远至撒迦。

12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.

12 在巴珊做首领的有族长约珥、副族长沙番以及雅乃和沙法。

13 Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.

13 他们同族的弟兄有米迦勒、米书兰、示巴、约赖、雅干、细亚和希伯，共七人。

14 These were the sons of Abihail 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.

14 这些都是亚比孩的儿子。亚比孩是户利的儿子，户利是耶罗亚的儿子，耶罗亚是基列的儿子，基列是米迦勒的儿子，米迦勒是耶示筛的儿子，耶示筛是耶哈多的儿子，耶哈多是布斯的儿子。

15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

15 古尼的孙子、押比碟的儿子亚希是他们家族的族长。

16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.

16 他们住在基列、巴珊和巴珊附近的乡村以及沙仑所有的草原，直到四围的边界地带。

17 All of them were recorded in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.

17 这些人是在犹大王约坦和以色列王耶罗波安执政期间被记录在族谱里的。

18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors—valiant men who carried the shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for battle.

18 吕便支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派中善用盾牌、刀剑、弓箭、能征善战的勇士共有四万四千七百六十人。

19 They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.

19 他们与夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人和挪答人打仗，

20 And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.

20 击败了夏甲人及其盟军，因为他们信靠上帝，在作战的时候向上帝求助，上帝应允了他们的祈求。

21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,

21 他们从敌人那里掳走了五万只骆驼、二十五万只羊、两千头驴和十万人口。

22 and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.

22 敌人伤亡惨重，因为他们有上帝相助。他们占据敌人的土地，一直到被掳的时候。

23 Now the people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount Hermon).

23 玛拿西半个支派的人住在从巴珊到巴力·黑门、示尼珥和黑门山一带，他们人数众多。

24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.

24 他们的族长以弗、以示、以利业、亚斯列、耶利米、何达威雅、雅叠都是英勇的战士，是著名的人物和各家族的首领。

25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

25 可是，他们却背弃他们祖先的上帝，与当地居民的神明苟合。上帝曾在他们面前毁灭那些居民。

26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.

26 因此，以色列的上帝驱使亚述王普勒，即提革拉·毗尼色，把吕便人、迦得人、玛拿西半个支派的人掳到哈腊、哈博、哈拉和歌散河边，他们至今还在那里。
