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.

¹In sinovi Rubena, prvenca Izraelovega (kajti on je bil prvorojenec, ali ker je onečastil očeta svojega posteljo, je bilo prvorojenstvo njegovo dano sinoma Jožefa, sinu Izraelovega; toda v rodopisu se to prvenstvo ne šteje.

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

²Zakaj Juda je bil junak med svojimi brati in iz njega je prišel vojvoda; a pravica prvenstva je bila Jožefova),

³The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

³sinovi Rubena, prvenca Izraelovega: Hanok, Palu, Hezron in Karmi.

⁴The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

⁴Sinovi Joelovi: njegov sin Semaja, tega sin Gog, tega sin Simej,

⁵Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

⁵tega sin Miha, tega sin Reaja, tega sin Baal,

⁶Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

⁶tega sin Beera, ki ga je Tilgat-pilneser, kralj asirski, odvedel v ujetništvo; on je bil vojvoda Rubenovcem.

⁷And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

⁷In njegovi bratje po svojih rodovinah, kakor so bili zapisani po svojem rodosledju: poglavar Jegiel in Zeharija

⁸And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

⁸in Bela, sin Azaza, sinu Sema, sinu Joela, ki je prebival v Aroerju tja do Neba in Baalmeona;

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.

⁹in proti vzhodu je prebival tja do vhoda v puščavo od reke Evfrata; ker njih črede so se pomnožile v deželi Gileadski.

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.

¹⁰V dnevih Savlovih pa so se bojevali zoper Hagarence, ki so padli po njih roki; in nastanili so se v njih šatorih po vsej deželi vzhodno od Gileada.

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

¹¹In sinovi Gadovi so prebivali njim nasproti, v Basánski deželi tja do Saleka:

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

¹²Joel, poglavar, in Safam, drugi, in Janaj in Safat v Basanu.

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

¹³In njih bratje po svojih očetovskih hišah: Mihael, Mesulam, Seba, Joraj, Jakan, Zia in Heber, sedem.

¹⁴These 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;

¹⁴Ti so bili sinovi Abihaila, sinu Hurija, sinu Jaroaha, sinu Gileada, sinu Mihaela, sinu Jesisaja, sinu Jahda, sinu Buza.

¹⁵Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

¹⁵Ahi, sin Abdielov, sinu Gunija, je bil poglavar njih očetovske hiše.

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

¹⁶In prebivali so v Gileadu v Basanu in po njega vaseh in po vseh Saronskih pašnikih tja do njih mej.

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

¹⁷Vsi ti so bili zapisani v rodopise v dnevih Jotama, kralja Judovega, in v dnevih Jeroboama, kralja Izraelovega.

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.

¹⁸Sinov Rubenovih in Gadovih in polovice rodu Manasejevega, kar jih je bilo hrabrih mož, ki so nosili ščit in meč in streljali z lokom in so bili vešči vojni, je bilo štiriinštirideset tisoč sedemsto in šestdeset, ki so bili sposobni iti v boj.

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

¹⁹In vojskovali so se s Hagarenci in z Jeturjem in Nafisom in Nodabom.

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.

²⁰In Bog jim je pomagal zoper nje, in Hagarenci so jim bili dani v roko in vsi, ki so bili ž njimi; kajti klicali so k Bogu v boju, in dal se jim je izprositi, ker so zaupali vanj.

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.

²¹In odpeljali so si njih živino: petdeset tisoč njih velblodov, dvestoinpetdeset tisoč glav drobnice, dva tisoč oslov in sto tisoč ljudi.

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

²²Kajti padlo jih je mnogo ranjenih, ker je bil boj od Boga. In prebivali so na njih mestu do preselitve v ujetništvo.

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

²³In sinovi polovice rodu Manasejevega so prebivali v deželi: razmnožili so se od Basana do Baal-hermona in Senirja in do Hermonske gore.

²⁴And 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 valor, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

²⁴In ti so bili poglavarji svojih očetovskih hiš: Efer, Iši, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremija, Hodavija in Jahdiel, vojni junaki, imenitni možje, glavarji svojih očetovskih hiš.

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 izneverili so se Bogu očetov svojih in so nečistovali za bogovi narodov te dežele, ki jih je Bog iztrebil izpred njih obličja.Tedaj je Bog obudil duha Pula, kralja asirskega, in duha Tilgat-pilneserja, kralja asirskega, in odpeljal jih je, namreč Rubence, Gadovce in polovico rodu Manasejevega, in jih je preselil v Halah in Habor in Haro in k reki Gozanu do tega dne.

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.

²⁶Tedaj je Bog obudil duha Pula, kralja asirskega, in duha Tilgat-pilneserja, kralja asirskega, in odpeljal jih je, namreč Rubence, Gadovce in polovico rodu Manasejevega, in jih je preselil v Halah in Habor in Haro in k reki Gozanu do tega dne.
