Genealogy of Reuben(A)

Here is a record of[a] the descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn. (He was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s marriage bed, his birthright was transferred to the descendants of Israel’s son Joseph. As a result, Reuben is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. Even though Judah became prominent among his relatives—that is, the Commander-in-chief[b] will be his descendant—nevertheless the right of the firstborn went to Joseph.)

The descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, included Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

Joel’s descendants were his son Shemaiah, his son Gog, his son Shimei, his son Micah, his son Reaiah, his son Baal, and his son Beerah, whom King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria carried away into exile, and who was a governor of the descendants of Reuben.

His relatives, listed by families when the genealogy was enrolled according to their generations, included[c] the chief, Jeiel, Zechariah, and Azaz’s son Bela, grandson of Shema, and great-grandson of Joel, who lived in Aroer, near Nebo and Baal-meon. He also lived eastward as far as the entrance to the wilderness this side of the Euphrates River,[d] because their cattle had increased in the territory of Gilead. 10 During the reign[e] of Saul they declared war on the Hagrites, who fell in battle by their hand. They lived in their tents throughout all of east Gilead.

Genealogy of Gad

11 Gad’s descendants lived beside them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 They included[f] Joel their chief, Shapham their second in command,[g] Janai, and Shaphat, who lived[h] in Bashan. 13 Their seven relatives, according to the households of their clans, included Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber. 14 These were the descendants of Huri’s son Abihail, who was fathered by Jaroah, who was fathered by Gilead, who was fathered by Michael, who was fathered by Jeshishai, who was fathered by Jahdo, and who was fathered by Buz: 15 Abdiel’s son Ahi, who was the grandson of Guni, was chief in their clan. 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its villages, and in all the surrounding suburbs[i] of Sharon as far as their borders. 17 All of them were enrolled by genealogies during the reign[j] of King Jotham of Judah and during the reign[k] of King Jeroboam of Israel.

18 The descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh produced 44,700 valiant soldiers expert in shield, sword, and bow. Trained in warfare, they were equipped to serve at a moment’s notice. 19 They fought in battle against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 When they received assistance against them, the Hagrites and all of their allies were handed over to their control, because they cried out to God during the battle. He honored their entreaty, because they had placed their trust in him. 21 They captured 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 war captives from their possessions. 22 Many fell slain, because the battle’s outcome was directed by God. They lived in their territory[l] until the exile.

Genealogy of Manasseh

23 The half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land, spread out from Bashan to Baal-hermon, including[m] Senir and Mount Hermon. 24 These were the leaders of their clans: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—they were mighty warriors, well known men, and leaders of their clans. 25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors by prostituting themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had exterminated right in front of them. 26 So the God of Israel incited[n] King Pul of Assyria (also known as[o] King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria), who took them prisoner and brought the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the Gozan River, where they remain[p] to this day.

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.

11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

14 These are the children of Abihail the 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 the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

呂便的後裔

以色列的長子原是呂便,但因為他玷污了父親的床[a],他長子的名分就給了他弟弟約瑟的後代。因此,按家譜他不是長子。 猶大雖然在眾弟兄中最強大,君王也是出自他的後裔,長子的名分卻屬於約瑟。 以色列長子呂便的兒子是哈諾、法路、希斯倫和迦米。 約珥的兒子是示瑪雅,示瑪雅的兒子是歌革,歌革的兒子是示每, 示每的兒子是米迦,米迦的兒子是利·亞雅,利·亞雅的兒子是巴力, 巴力的兒子是備·拉。備·拉是呂便支派的首領,被亞述王提革拉·毗尼色擄去。 按家譜記載,他做族長的親族是耶利、撒迦利雅和比拉。 比拉是亞撒的兒子,亞撒是示瑪的兒子,示瑪是約珥的兒子。約珥住在亞羅珥至尼波和巴力·免一帶。 他們的牲畜在基列繁殖眾多,便又向東遷移到幼發拉底河西邊的曠野。 10 掃羅執政期間,呂便人與夏甲人交戰,打敗了夏甲人,佔領了基列東邊的整片土地。

迦得的後裔

11 迦得的後代住在毗鄰呂便支派的巴珊,向東遠至撒迦。 12 在巴珊做首領的有族長約珥、副族長沙番以及雅乃和沙法。 13 他們同族的弟兄有米迦勒、米書蘭、示巴、約賴、雅幹、細亞和希伯,共七人。 14 這些都是亞比孩的兒子。亞比孩是戶利的兒子,戶利是耶羅亞的兒子,耶羅亞是基列的兒子,基列是米迦勒的兒子,米迦勒是耶示篩的兒子,耶示篩是耶哈多的兒子,耶哈多是布斯的兒子。 15 古尼的孫子、押比碟的兒子亞希是他們家族的族長。 16 他們住在基列、巴珊和巴珊附近的鄉村以及沙崙所有的草原,直到四圍的邊界地帶。 17 這些人是在猶大王約坦和以色列王耶羅波安執政期間被記錄在族譜裡的。

18 呂便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派中善用盾牌、刀劍、弓箭、能征善戰的勇士共有四萬四千七百六十人。 19 他們與夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人和挪答人打仗, 20 擊敗了夏甲人及其盟軍,因為他們信靠上帝,在作戰的時候向上帝求助,上帝應允了他們的祈求。 21 他們從敵人那裡擄走了五萬隻駱駝、二十五萬隻羊、兩千頭驢和十萬人口。 22 敵人傷亡慘重,因為他們有上帝的幫助。他們佔據敵人的土地,一直到被擄的時候。

瑪拿西的半個支派

23 瑪拿西半個支派的人住在從巴珊到巴力·黑們、示尼珥和黑門山一帶。 24 他們的族長以弗、以示、以列、亞斯列、耶利米、何達威雅、雅疊都是英勇的戰士,是著名的人物和各家族的首領。

25 可是,他們卻背棄他們祖先的上帝,與當地居民的神明苟合。上帝曾在他們面前毀滅那些居民。 26 因此,以色列的上帝驅使亞述王普勒,即提革拉·毗尼色,把呂便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半個支派的人擄到哈臘、哈博、哈拉和歌散河邊,他們至今還在那裡。

Ang mga Kaliwat ni Reuben

Si Reuben amo ang kamagulangan nga anak ni Israel,[a] pero tungod kay nagpakighilawas siya sa isa sa mga asawa sang iya amay, ang iya kinamatarong bilang kamagulangan ginhatag sa mga anak ni Jose nga iya utod. Gani wala siya nalista sa listahan sang ila mga kaliwat bilang kamagulangan nga anak. Kag bisan gamhanan si Juda sang sa iya mga utod kag ang pangulo naghalin sa iya tribo, ang kinamatarong bilang kamagulangan ginhatag kay Jose. Amo ini ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Reuben nga kamagulangan ni Israel: si Hanoc, Palu, Hezron, kag Carmi.

Amo ini ang mga kaliwat ni Joel: si Shemaya, Gog, Shimei, Micas, Reaya, Baal, kag Beera. Si Beera ang pangulo sang mga kaliwat ni Reuben sang ginbihag sila ni Haring Tiglat Pileser[b] sang Asiria. Amo ini ang mga paryente ni Beera nga nalista sa listahan sang ila mga kaliwat suno sa ila tribo: si Jiel (ang pangulo), si Zacarias, kag si Bela nga anak ni Azaz. Ining si Azaz anak ni Shema, kag apo ni Joel. Ini nga mga kaliwat ni Reuben nag-estar sa lugar halin sa Aroer hasta sa Nebo kag Baal Meon. Kag tungod kay nagdamo ang ila kasapatan didto sa Gilead, nag-estar sila hasta sa sidlangan, sa higad sang desierto pakadto sa Suba sang Eufrates. 10 Sang si Saul ang hari, nagpakig-away sila sa mga Hagarnon kag napierdi nila ini. Ginsakop nila ang mga ginaestaran sang mga Hagarnon sa bug-os nga sidlangan sang Gilead.

Ang mga Kaliwat ni Gad

11 Nag-estar ang mga kaliwat ni Gad sa kadutaan sang Bashan nga sunod sa kadutaan nila ni Reuben, hasta sa Saleca. 12 Amo ini ang mga kaliwat ni Gad: si Joel, nga amo ang pangulo sa Bashan, ang sunod sa iya amo si Shafam, dayon si Janai kag si Shafat. 13 Ang ila mga paryente suno sa kada pamilya amo sila ni Micael, Meshulam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, kag Eber—pito sila tanan. 14 Sila ang mga kaliwat ni Abihail nga anak ni Huri. Ining si Huri anak ni Jaroa kag apo ni Gilead, kag apo sa tuhod ni Micael. Ining si Micael anak ni Jeshishai kag apo ni Jado, kag apo sa tuhod ni Buz. 15 Si Ahi nga anak ni Abdiel kag apo ni Guni amo ang pangulo sang ila mga pamilya. 16 Nag-estar sila sa Gilead didto sa Bashan kag sa mga baryo sa palibot sini, kag sa bug-os nga palahalban sang Sharon. 17 Ini sila tanan nalista sa listahan sang mga kaliwat sadtong tion sang paghari ni Jotam sa Juda kag ni Jeroboam sa Israel.

18 May 44,760 ka soldado sa tribo ni Reuben, Gad, kag sa katunga sang tribo ni Manase. Ginhanas sila para sa inaway kag maayo sila maggamit sang mga taming, espada, kag pana. 19 Nagpakig-away sila sa mga Hagarnon, Jeturnon, Nafishnon, kag Nodabnon. 20 Nagpangayo sila sang bulig sa Dios sang nagpakig-away sila, kag ginsabat sang Dios ang ila pangamuyo tungod kay nagsalig sila sa iya. Gani ginpadaog sila sang Dios sa mga Hagarnon kag sa tanan nga kadampig sini. 21 Ginpanguha nila ang kasapatan sang mga Hagarnon: 50,000 ka kamelyo, 250,000 ka karnero, kag 2,000 ka asno. Ginbihag man nila ang 100,000 ka tawo, 22 kag madamo ang ila ginpamatay tungod kay ginbuligan sila sang Dios sa pagpakig-away. Kag gin-estaran nila ang mga lugar sini hasta sang ginbihag sila.

Ang Katunga nga Tribo ni Manase

23 Madamo gid ang katunga nga tribo ni Manase. Nag-estar sila sa kadutaan halin sa Bashan pakadto sa Baal Hermon, Senir, kag Bukid sang Hermon. 24 Amo ini ang mga pangulo sang ila mga pamilya: si Efer, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremias, Hodavia, kag Jadiel. Mga maayo sila nga mga soldado kag bantog nga mga pangulo sang ila mga pamilya. 25 Pero indi sila matutom sa Dios sang ila mga katigulangan kundi nagsimba sila sa mga dios sang mga katawhan nga ginlaglag sang Dios sa sadto nga duta. 26 Amo ina kon ngaa ginbuot sang Dios sang Israel nga salakayon sila ni Haring Pul sang Asiria (nga amo man si Tiglat Pileser). Ginbihag ni Pul ang mga tribo ni Reuben, Gad kag katunga sang tribo ni Manase kag gindala sa Hala, Habor, Hara, kag sa Suba sang Gozan, nga sa diin didto sila hasta subong.

Reuben

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) 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)— the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:

Hanok, Pallu,(J) Hezron(K) and Karmi.

The descendants of Joel:

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son, Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a](L) king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

Their relatives by clans,(M) listed according to their genealogical records:

Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, 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) 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.
