Ang Lipi ni Ruben
5 Ito(A) ang mga anak ni Ruben, ang panganay ni Jacob. (Kahit na siya'y panganay, inalisan siya ng karapatan ng pagkapanganay sapagkat dinungisan niya ang dangal ng kanyang ama. Ang karapatang ito'y ibinigay sa mga anak ni Jose, na anak ni Jacob. 2 Bagama't(B) ang lipi ni Juda ang kinilalang pangunahin sa magkakapatid at isang pinuno ang nagmula sa kanya, ang karapatan ng pagkapanganay ay iginawad kay Jose.) 3 Ang mga anak ni Ruben ay sina Hanoc, Pallu, Hezron at Carmi.
4 Anak ni Joel si Semaias na ama ni Gog. Anak ni Gog si Simei na ama ni Mica. 5 Anak ni Mica si Reaias na ama ni Baal. 6 Anak(C) ni Baal si Beera, ang pinuno ng mga Rubenita na dinalang-bihag ni Tiglat-pileser sa Asiria. 7 Ito ang listahan ng mga sambahayan at angkang nagmula sa lipi ni Ruben: ang mga pinunong sina Jeiel, Zacarias, 8 at Bela na anak ni Azaz at apo ni Sema mula sa angkan ni Joel. Ang angkang ito ay tumira sa Aroer, at ang kanilang lupain ay abot sa Nebo at Baal-meon. 9 Dahil marami silang kawan sa lupain ng Gilead, tumira rin sila sa gawing silangan hanggang sa tabi ng ilang na ang dulo ay nasa Ilog Eufrates.
10 Noong panahon ni Haring Saul, sinalakay at tinalo ng mga Rubenita ang mga Hagrita, at tumira sila sa lupain ng mga ito sa silangang panig ng Gilead.
Ang Lipi ni Gad
11 Sa dakong hilaga ni Ruben nanirahan ang mga anak ni Gad, mula sa lupain ng Bashan hanggang Saleca. 12 Sa Bashan, ang pinuno ng unang angkan ay si Joel, at si Safam naman ang sa pangalawang angkan. Sina Janai at Safat ay mga pinuno rin ng iba pang angkan doon. 13 Kabilang pa rin sa lipi ni Gad sina Micael, Mesulam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia at Eber. Ang pitong ito 14 ay mga anak ni Abihail na anak ni Huri at apo ni Jaroa. Si Jaroa ay anak ni Gilead at apo ni Micael na anak ni Jesisai. Si Jesisai ay anak ni Jahdo at apo ni Buz. 15 Ang kanilang pinuno ay si Ahi na anak ni Abdiel at apo ni Guni. 16 Nanirahan ang mga ito sa mga bayang sakop ng Bashan at Gilead hanggang sa malawak na pastulan ng Saron. 17 Ang mga talaang ito ay isinaayos nang si Jotam ay hari ng Juda, at si Jeroboam naman ang hari sa Israel.
18 Matatapang ang mga kawal ng mga lipi nina Ruben at Gad, gayundin ng kalahating lipi ni Manases. Sila'y mga sanay na mandirigma; bihasa sa paggamit ng kalasag, tabak, at pana. Binubuo sila ng 44,760 kawal. 19 Nakipagdigma sila laban sa mga Hagrita, Jetur, Nafis at Nodab. 20 Nagtitiwala sila sa Diyos at laging nananalangin sa kanya. Dinirinig naman sila at laging tinutulungan. Dahil dito'y nalupig nila ang kanilang mga kaaway. 21 Ito ang nasamsam nilang hayop: 50,000 kamelyo, 250,000 tupa at 2,000 asno. May 100,000 kawal naman ang kanilang nabihag. 22 Marami silang napatay sa kanilang mga kaaway, sapagkat ang Diyos ang nanguna sa kanila. Patuloy silang nanirahan sa lupaing iyon hanggang sa sila'y dalhing-bihag sa ibang bansa.
Kalahati ng Lipi ni Manases
23 Ang kalahating lipi ni Manases ay napakarami. Kumalat sila sa iba't ibang lupain mula sa Bashan, Baal-hermon, Senir hanggang sa Bundok ng Hermon. 24 Ito ang mga pinuno ng kanilang mga angkan: sina Efer, Isi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremias, Hodavias at Jahdiel. Sila'y magigiting na mandirigma at mga tanyag na pinuno ng kani-kanilang angkan.
25 Ngunit ang mga liping ito ay hindi nanatiling tapat sa Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno. Sumamba sila sa mga diyus-diyosan ng mga bansang pinalayas ng Diyos. 26 Kaya't(D) inudyukan ng Diyos ng Israel si haring Pul ng Asiria, na tinatawag ding Tiglat-Pileser, na salakayin ang Israel. Binihag nito ang mga Rubenita, Gadita at ang kalahating lipi ni Manases. Dinala sila sa Hala, Habor, Hara at sa tabi ng Ilog Gozan.
1 Chronicles 5
New International Version
Reuben
5 The sons of Reuben(A) the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed,(B) his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph(C) son of Israel;(D) so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright,(E) 2 and though Judah(F) was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler(G) came from him, the rights of the firstborn(H) belonged to Joseph)— 3 the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:
Hanok, Pallu,(J) Hezron(K) and Karmi.
4 The descendants of Joel:
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,
Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son,
Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a](L) king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 Their relatives by clans,(M) listed according to their genealogical records:
Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, 8 and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in the area from Aroer(N) to Nebo(O) and Baal Meon.(P) 9 To the east they occupied the land up to the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates(Q) River, because their livestock had increased in Gilead.(R)
10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites(S), who were defeated at their hands; they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the entire region east of Gilead.
Gad
11 The Gadites(T) lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah:(U)
12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.
13 Their relatives, by families, were:
Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber—seven in all.
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.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.
16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as they extended.
17 All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham(V) king of Judah and Jeroboam(W) king of Israel.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service(X)—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur,(Y) Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped(Z) in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried(AA) out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted(AB) in him. 21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, 22 and many others fell slain, because the battle(AC) was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.(AD)
The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
23 The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh(AE) were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).(AF)
24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful(AG) to the God of their ancestors and prostituted(AH) themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit(AI) of Pul(AJ) king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser(AK) king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah,(AL) Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.
