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.

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 brothers, and of him came the prince; 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),

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
