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 Century Version
Reuben’s Children
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 slave woman. So those special privileges were given to Joseph’s sons. (Joseph was a son of Israel.) In the family history Reuben’s name is not listed as the first son. 2 Judah became stronger than his brothers, and a leader came from his family. But Joseph’s family received the privileges that belonged to the oldest son. 3 Reuben was Israel’s first son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 These were the children of Joel: 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. Beerah was a leader of the tribe of Reuben. Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria captured him and took him away.
7 Joel’s brothers and all his family groups are listed just as they are written in their family histories: Jeiel was the first, then Zechariah, 8 and Bela. (Bela was the son of Azaz. Azaz was the son of Shema, and Shema was the son of Joel.) 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, which is beside the Euphrates River—because they had too many cattle for the land of Gilead.
10 When Saul was king, Bela’s people fought a war against the Hagrite people and defeated them. Then Bela’s people lived in the tents that had belonged to the Hagrites in all the area east of Gilead.
Gad’s Children
11 The people from the tribe of Gad lived near the Reubenites. The Gadites lived in the area of Bashan all the way to Salecah. 12 Joel was the main leader, Shapham was second, and then Janai and Shaphat were leaders in Bashan.
13 The seven relatives 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, and Jahdo was the son of Buz. 15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son, and Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their family.
16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, Bashan and the small towns around it, and on all the pasturelands in the Plain of Sharon all the way to the borders.
17 All these names were written in the family history of Gad during the time Jotham was king of Judah and Jeroboam was king of Israel.
Soldiers Skilled in War
18 There were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty soldiers from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and East Manasseh who carried shields and swords and bows. They were skilled in war. 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, asking him to help them. So he helped them because they trusted him. He handed over to them the Hagrites and all those who were with them. 21 They took the animals that belonged to the Hagrites: fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people. 22 Many Hagrites were killed because God helped the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. Then they lived there until Babylon captured them and took them away.
East Manasseh
23 There were many people in East Manasseh, and they lived in the area of Bashan all the way to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.
24 These were the family leaders: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were all strong, brave, and famous men, and leaders in their families. 25 But they sinned against the God that their ancestors had worshiped. They began worshiping the gods of the people in that land, and those were the people God was destroying. 26 So the God of Israel made Pul king of Assyria want to go to war. (Pul was also called Tiglath-Pileser.) He captured the people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh, and he took them away to Halah, Habor, Hara, and near the Gozan River. They have lived there from that time until this day.
1 Chronicles 5
King James Version
5 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.
2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
3 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:
9 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.
