¹¶ Na, ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko ia hoki te matamua; heoi, i te mea i whakapokea e ia te moenga o tona papa, ka hotau tona matamuatanga ki nga tama a Hohepa, tama a Iharaira; na e kore te whakapapa e timata i te matamua.

¹The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

²I nui ake hoki a Hura i ona tuakana, teina, he uri hoki nona te tino rangatira: otiia i a Hohepa te matamuatanga:

²For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s:)

³Ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko Enoka, ko Paru, ko Heterono, ko Karami.

⁵Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

⁶Ko tana tama ko Peeraha, ko tera i riro parau ra i a Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria; he rangatira ia no nga Reupeni.

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

⁷Na, ko ona teina me o ratou hapu, ki te whakapapatia o ratou whakatupuranga; ko nga tino rangatira ko Teiere, ko Hakaraia,

⁷His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

⁸Ko Pera tama a Atata, tama a Hema, tama a Hoera, i noho nei ki Aroere a tae noa ki Nepo, ki Paarameono;

⁸and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:

⁹I nohoia ano e ia te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te koraha e takoto mai ana i te awa i Uparati: no te mea i nui haere a ratou kararehe ki te whenua o Kireara.

⁹and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

¹⁰Na i nga ra o Haora ka whawhaitia e ratou nga Hakari, hinga iho i o ratou ringa; noho ana ratou ki o ratou teneti i te whenua katoa o Kireara ki te rawhiti.

¹⁰In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

¹¹Na ko nga tama a Kara i noho i te ritenga mai o to ratou i te whenua o Pahana tae noa ki Hareka:

¹¹The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

¹²Ko Hoera te upoko, muri iho ko Hapana, ko Taanai, ko Hapata i Pahana.

¹²Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

¹³Na, ko o ratou teina o nga whare o o ratou matua: ko Mikaera, ko Mehurama, ko Hepa, ko Torai, ko Takana, ko Tia, ko Epere, tokowhitu.

¹³Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.

¹⁴Ko nga tama enei a Apihaira tama a Huri, tama a Taroa, tama a Kireara, tama a Mikaera, tama a Tehihai, tama a Taharo, tama a Putu;

¹⁶A noho ana ratou ki Kireara o Pahana, ki ona pa ririki, ki nga taha ano o Harono, ki o ratou taha ki waho.

¹⁶They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.

¹⁷He mea whakapapa enei katoa i nga ra o Iotama kingi o Hura, i nga ra ano o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira.

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

¹⁸¶ Ko nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga Kari, ko tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, no te hunga toa, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te hoari, he hunga kopere i te kopere, e mahio ana hoki ki te whawhai, e wha tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau e ono tekau taua hunga i ahei te haere ki te whawhai.

¹⁸The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to war.

¹⁹I whawhai hoki ratou ki nga Hakari, ki Ieturu, ki Napihi, ki Norapa.

¹⁹They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

²⁰I awhinatia ano ratou ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a ka homai nga Hakari ki o ratou ringa, ratou ko o ratou hoa katoa: i karanga hoki ratou ki te Atua i te whawhaitanga, a tahuri ana ia ki a ratou; mo ratou i whakawhirinaki ki a ia.

²⁰They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

²¹I riro ano hoki i a ratou a ratou kararehe; o a ratou kamera e rima tekau mano, o nga hipi e rua rau e rima tekau mano, o nga kaihe e rua mano, o nga tangata kotahi rau mano.

²¹They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

²²He tokomaha hoki i hinga, mate rawa: na te Atua hoki te whawhai; a noho ana ratou ki to ratou wahi a taea noatia te whakaraunga.

²²For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

²³I noho ano nga tama a tetahi tanga o he hapu o Manahi ki te whenua; i tini haere ano ratou ki Pahana a tae noa ki Paaraheremona, ki Heniri, ki Maunga Heremona ano.

²³The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon.

²⁴Na ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua; ara ko Epere, ko Ihi, ko Eriere, ko Atariere, ko Heremaia, ko Horawia, ko Tahariere, he hunga nunui, he marohirohi, he hunga ingoa nui, he upoko ano no nga whare o o ratou matua.

²⁴These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

²⁵Na kua he ratou ki te Atua o o ratou matua, kua whai, kua puremu ki nga atua o nga iwi o te whenua i huna nei e te Atua i to ratou aroaro.

²⁵They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

²⁶Na ka whakaohokia e te Atua o Iharaira te wairua o Puru kingi o Ahiria, te wairua hoki o Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria, a whakaraua ana ratou e ia, ara nga Reupeni, nga Kari, me tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, a kawea ana ratou e ia ki Har aha, ki Haporo, ki Hara, ki te awa o Kotana a taea noatia tenei ra.

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