Ang Lipi ni Ruben

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. 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.) Ang mga anak ni Ruben ay sina Hanoc, Pallu, Hezron at Carmi.

Anak ni Joel si Semaias na ama ni Gog. Anak ni Gog si Simei na ama ni Mica. Anak ni Mica si Reaias na ama ni Baal. Anak(C) ni Baal si Beera, ang pinuno ng mga Rubenita na dinalang-bihag ni Tiglat-pileser sa Asiria. Ito ang listahan ng mga sambahayan at angkang nagmula sa lipi ni Ruben: ang mga pinunong sina Jeiel, Zacarias, 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. 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.

Genealogy from Reuben

Now the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel (for (A)he was the firstborn, but because (B)he defiled his father’s bed, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel; so he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. (D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the leader, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), (F)the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch and Pallu, and Hezron and Carmi. The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, (G)Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom [a]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria took into exile; he was leader of the Reubenites. His relatives by their families, (H)in the genealogy of their generations, were Jeiel the chief, then Zechariah and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in (I)Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. Toward the east he settled as far as the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, (J)because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead. 10 In the days of Saul (K)they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand, so that they [b]occupied their tents throughout the [c]land east of Gilead.

11 Now the sons of Gad lived opposite them in the land of (L)Bashan, as far as (M)Salecah. 12 Joel was the head and Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 Their relatives of their fathers’ households were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons 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, was head of their fathers’ households. 16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasture lands of (N)Sharon, as far as their [d]borders. 17 All of these were enrolled in the genealogies in the days of (O)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (P)Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword and shot with a bow and were skillful in battle, totaled 44,760 who (Q)went to war. 19 They made war against (R)the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were handed over to them; for (T)they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because (U)they trusted in Him. 21 They took away their livestock: their fifty thousand camels, 250,000 sheep, and two thousand donkeys; and a hundred thousand [e]people. 22 For many fell mortally wounded, because (V)the war was of God. And (W)they settled in their place until the (X)exile.

23 Now the sons of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land; from Bashan to Baal-hermon, (Y)Senir, and Mount Hermon they were numerous. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ households: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, valiant mighty men, famous men, heads of their fathers’ households.

25 But they were (Z)untrue to the God of their fathers and (AA)prostituted themselves (AB)with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of (AC)Pul, king of Assyria, that is, the spirit of [f]Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he (AD)took them into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.

The Family of Reuben(A)

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—(B)he was indeed the firstborn, but because he (C)defiled his father’s bed, (D)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet (E)Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a (F)ruler, although [a]the birthright was Joseph’s— the sons of (G)Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom [b]Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria (H)carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. And his brethren by their families, (I)when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in (J)Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. Eastward they settled as far as the [c]entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had [d]multiplied (K)in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul they made war (L)with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.

The Family of Gad

11 And the (M)children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of (N)Bashan as far as (O)Salcah: 12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan, 13 and their brethren of their father’s house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were 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, was chief of their father’s house. 16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the [e]common-lands of (P)Sharon within their borders. 17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of (Q)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (R)Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war. 19 They made war with the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And (T)they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they (U)cried out to God in the battle. He [f]heeded their prayer, because they (V)put their trust in Him. 21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men; 22 for many fell dead, because the war (W)was God’s. And they dwelt in their place until (X)the captivity.

The Family of Manasseh (East)

23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to (Y)Senir, or Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.

25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and (Z)played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of (AA)Pul king of Assyria, that is, (AB)Tiglath-Pileser[g] king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to (AC)Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.
