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 وَكَانَ رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ فَقَدَ امْتِيَازَاتِ بَكُورِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي وُهِبَتْ لاِبْنَيْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ عَاشَرَ مَحْظِيَّةَ أَبِيهِ، فَلَمْ يُحْسَبْ بِكْراً.

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

2 وَمَعَ أَنَّ يَهُوذَا كَانَ الأَقْوَى بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ تَحَدَّرَ الْمُلُوكُ الَّذِينَ حَكَمُوا، فَإِنَّ الْبَكُورِيَّةَ ظَلَّتْ مِنْ نَصِيبِ يُوسُفَ.

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

3 أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهُمْ: حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي.

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

4 وَأَنْجَبَ يُوئِيلُ شَمْعِيَا، وَشَمْعِيَا جُوجَ، وَجُوجُ شِمْعِي،

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

5 وَشِمْعِي مِيخَا، وَمِيخَا رَآيَا، وَرَآيَا بَعْلَ.

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

6 وَأَنْجَبَ بَعْلُ بَئِيرَةَ الَّذِي سَبَاهُ الْمَلِكُ الأَشُورِيُّ تَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرُ. وَكَانَ بَئِيرَةُ رَئِيسَ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

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

7 وَفِيمَا يَلِي أَسْمَاءُ زُعَمَاءِ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ بَئِيرَةَ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي سِجِلَّاتِ الأَنْسَابِ: الرُّؤَسَاءُ يَعِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا،

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 وَبَالِعُ بْنُ عَزَازَ بْنِ شَامِعَ بْنِ يُوئِيلَ الَّذِي اسْتَوْطَنَ فِي عَرُوعِيرَ وَفِي الأَرَاضِي الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شِمَالاً إِلَى نَبُو وَبَعْلِ مَعُونَ.

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 كَمَا اسْتَوْطَنُوا شَرْقاً حَتَّى حُدُودِ الصَّحْرَاءِ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، لأَنَّ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ لَمْ تَعُدْ تَكْفِي مَوَاشِيَهُمُ الَّتِي تَكَاثَرَتْ.

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 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ مُلْكِ شَاوُلَ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَاحْتَلُّوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ.

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

11 وَأَقَامَتْ ذُرِّيَّةُ جَادٍ شِمَالِيَّ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ الْمُمْتَدَّةِ شَرْقاً حَتَّى سَلْخَةَ.

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

12 وَكَانَ يُوئِيلُ الزَّعِيمَ الْمُتَرَئِّسَ وَيَلِيهِ شَافَاطُ، ثُمَّ يَعْنَايُ وَشَافَاطُ فِي أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ.

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

13 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِمْ وَفْقاً لاِنْتِسَابِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا يَنْتَمُونَ لِلرُّؤَسَاءِ السَّبْعَةِ مِيخَائِيلَ وَمَشُلّامَ وَشَبَعَ وَيُورَايَ وَيَعْكَانَ وَزِيعَ وَعَابِرَ.

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 وَهَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ أَبِيحَايِلَ بْنِ حُورِيَ بْنِ يَارُوحَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مِيخَائِيلَ بْنِ يَشِيشَايَ بْنِ يَحْدُوَ بْنِ بُوزٍ.

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

15 وَكَانَ أَخِي بْنُ عَبْدِيئِيلَ بْنِ جُونِي رَئِيسَ هَذِهِ الْعَائِلاتِ.

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

16 وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ وَفِي بَاشَانَ وَقُرَاهَا وَأَرَاضِي الْمَرَاعِي التَّابِعَةِ لِشَارُونَ.

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

17 وَقَدْ تَمَّ تَدْوِينُ سِجِلّاتِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَيَرُبْعَامَ الثَّانِي مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 وَكَانَ فِي سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى أَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ مُجَنَّداً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ بِالتُّرْسِ وَالسَّيْفِ وَرَمْيِ السِّهَامِ.

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

19 وَقَدْ شَنُّوا حَرْباً عَلَى الْهَاجَرِيِّينَ (وَعَشَائِرِ) يَطُورَ وَنَافِيشَ وَنُودَابَ،

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 فَانْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَظَفِرُوا بِالْهَاجَرِيِّينَ وَحُلَفَائِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَعَانُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي أَثْنَاءِ القِتَالِ وَاتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ.

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 وَغَنِمُوا مَاشِيَتَهُمْ، فَنَهَبُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ جَمَلٍ، وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ، وَأَلْفَيْ حِمَارٍ، وَأَخَذُوا مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

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

22 وَقَدْ قُتِلَ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الْمَعْرَكَةَ كَانَتْ مَعْرَكَةَ اللهِ، وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي مَكَانِهِمْ حَتَّى زَمَانِ السَّبْيِ.

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 وَسَكَنَ أَبْنَاءُ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي الأَرْضِ وَانْتَشَرُوا مِنْ بَاشَانَ إِلَى بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ وَسَنِيرَ وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

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 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِهِمْ: عَافَرُ وَيَشْعِي وَأَلِيئِيلُ وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيَرْمِيَا وَهُودَوْيَا وَيَحْدِيئِيلُ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ أَشِدَّاءُ ذَاعَ صِيتُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ عَائِلاتِهِمْ.

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 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ وَغَوَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ،

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 فَأَثَارَ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فُولَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ، الْمَعْرُوفَ بِتَغْلَثْ فَلْنَاسَرَ، وَسَبَى سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى وَنَقَلَهُمْ إِلَى حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ وَهَارَا، وَنَهْرِ جُوزَانَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.
