¹Now 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.

¹Sinovi Izraelova prvenca Rubena. On je doista bio prvenac; ali kad je oskvrnuo očevu postelju, njegovo je pravo prvorodstva bilo dano sinovima Izraelova sina Josipa, ali im nije bilo upisano u rodovnik,

²For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

²jer je Juda nadvladao među braćom, a od njega se rodio knez. Ipak je pravo prvorodstva pripalo Josipu.

⁹And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

¹⁰And 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.

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

¹⁸The 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 skillful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

¹⁸Rubenovih i Gadovih sinova, i polovine Manašeova plemena, hrabrih junaka koji su nosili štit i mač te zapinjali luk i bili vješti boju, bijaše četrdeset tisuća sedam stotina i šezdeset vojnika.

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

¹⁹Ratovali su protiv Hagrijaca, Iturejaca, Nafišejaca i Nodabejaca.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰U boju su zavapili k Bogu i on ih je uslišao jer su se pouzdali u nj: potpomognuti su protiv neprijatelja te su im predani u ruke Hagrijci sa svim njihovim saveznicima.

²¹And 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.

²¹Zaplijenili su njihovu stoku - pedeset tisuća deva, dvije stotine i pedeset tisuća ovaca i koza i dvije tisuće magaraca - i odveli u ropstvo sto tisuća ljudi.

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

²²Pobijenih je mnogo palo, jer je taj boj bio od Boga; onda se naseliše na njihovo mjesto do sužanjstva.

²⁴Ovo su bili poglavari njihovih rodova: Efer, Jiši, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremija, Hodavja i Jahdiel, hrabri junaci i ugledni muževi: poglavari u svojim rodovima.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Ali kad su se iznevjerili Bogu svojih otaca i odali se preljubu s bogovima naroda one zemlje koje je Bog iskorijenio pred njima,

²⁶And 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.

²⁶probudio je Izraelov Bog neprijateljstvo asirskoga kralja Pula i neprijateljstvo asirskoga kralja Tiglat Pilesera. Oni su odveli u sužanjstvo Rubenovo i Gadovo pleme i polovinu Manašeova plemena. Doveli su ih u Helah, Habor i Haru i na Gozansku rijeku do današnjega dana.
