Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
吕便的后裔
5 以色列的长子原是吕便，但因为他玷污了父亲的床[a]，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 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 以色列长子吕便的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯伦和迦米。 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 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 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 按家谱记载，他做族长的亲族是耶利、撒迦利雅和比拉。 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 他们的牲畜在基列繁殖众多，便又向东迁移到幼发拉底河西边的旷野。 10 扫罗执政期间，吕便人与夏甲人交战，打败了夏甲人，占领了基列东边的整片土地。
迦得的后裔
11 迦得的后代住在毗邻吕便支派的巴珊，向东远至撒迦。 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 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 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 古尼的孙子、押比碟的儿子亚希是他们家族的族长。 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 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 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 他们与夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人和挪答人打仗， 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 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 敌人伤亡惨重，因为他们有上帝的帮助。他们占据敌人的土地，一直到被掳的时候。
玛拿西的半个支派
23 玛拿西半个支派的人住在从巴珊到巴力·黑们、示尼珥和黑门山一带。 24 他们的族长以弗、以示、以列、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 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 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。
1 Chronicles 5
Easy-to-Read Version
Reuben’s Descendants
5 Reuben was Israel’s first son. Reuben should have received the special privileges of the oldest son. But he had sexual relations with his father’s wife. So those privileges were given to Joseph’s sons. In the family history, Reuben’s name is not listed as the first son. Judah became stronger than his brothers, so the leaders came from his family. But Joseph’s family got the other privileges that belong to the oldest son.
Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 These are the names of Joel’s descendants: Shemaiah was Joel’s son. Gog was Shemaiah’s son. Shimei was Gog’s son. 5 Micah was Shimei’s son. Reaiah was Micah’s son. Baal was Reaiah’s son. 6 Beerah was Baal’s son. King Tiglath Pileser of Assyria forced Beerah to leave his home. So Beerah became the king’s prisoner. Beerah was a leader of the tribe of Reuben.
7 Joel’s brothers and all his tribes are listed just as they are written in the family histories: Jeiel was the first son, then Zechariah, 8 and Bela. Bela was Azaz’s son. Azaz was Shema’s son. Shema was Joel’s son. They lived in the area of Aroer all the way to Nebo and Baal Meon. 9 Bela’s people lived to the east as far as the edge of the desert, near the Euphrates River. They lived there because they had many cattle in the land of Gilead. 10 When Saul was king, Bela’s people fought a war against the Hagrites. They defeated the Hagrites. Bela’s people lived in the tents that had belonged to the Hagrites. They lived in those tents and traveled throughout the area east of Gilead.
Gad’s Descendants
11 The people of Gad lived across the river from Reuben, in the area of Bashan. They spread all the way to the town of Salecah. 12 Joel was the first leader in Bashan. Shapham was the second leader. Then Janai became the leader.[a] 13 The seven brothers in their families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber. 14 They were the 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 Buz’s son. 15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their family.
16 The people in the tribe of Gad lived in the area of Gilead. They lived in the area of Bashan, in the small towns around Bashan, and in all the pastures in the area of Sharon all the way to the borders.
17 During the time of Jotham and Jeroboam, all these people’s names were written in the family history of Gad. Jotham was the king of Judah and Jeroboam was the king of Israel.
Some Soldiers Skilled in War
18 From half the tribe of Manasseh and from the tribes of Reuben and Gad there were 44,760 brave men ready for war. They were skilled in war. They carried shields and swords. And they were also good with bows and arrows. 19 They started a war against the Hagrites and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 The men from the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad prayed to God during the war. They asked God to help them because they trusted him, so God helped them. He allowed them to defeat the Hagrites and those who were with the Hagrites. 21 They took the animals that belonged to the Hagrites. They took 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2000 donkeys, and 100,000 people. 22 Many Hagrites were killed because God helped the people of Reuben win the war. Then the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad settled in the land of the Hagrites. They lived there until the time when the Israelites were taken into captivity.
23 Half the tribe of Manasseh lived in the area of Bashan all the way to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. They became a very large group of people.
24 These were the family leaders from half the tribe of Manasseh: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were all strong, brave, and famous men, and they were leaders in their families. 25 But they sinned against the God their ancestors had worshiped. They began worshiping the false gods of the people God had destroyed, the people who had lived in the land before them.
26 The God of Israel made King Pul of Assyria want to go to war. He was also called Tiglath Pileser. He fought against the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad. He forced them to leave their homes and made them prisoners. Pul took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and near the Gozan River. Those tribes from Israel have lived in those places since that time until today.
