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.
1 Israyla hay-jina Ruben izey neeya: (amma baa kaŋ hay-jine no, kulu nda yaadin, zama a na nga baabo daaro ziibandi, i n'a hay-jine beera no Israyla izo Yusufu izey se. Woodin sabbay se no i mana Ruben hantum asuli lasaabuyaŋ tira ra a hayyaŋ darza boŋ.
2For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s:)
2 Baa kaŋ Yahuda te zaama nga nya-izey boŋ hala bonkooni fun a gaa, kulu nda yaadin hay-jine darza ya Yusufu wane no.)
3the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
3 Israyla hay-jina Ruben izey din neeya: Hanoku, Pallu, Hezron, da Karmi.
4The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
4 Yowel mo banda neeya: a ize Semaya, Semaya ize Gog, Gog ize Simey,
5Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
5 Simey ize Mika, Mika ize Reyaya, Reyaya ize Baal,
6Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
6 Baal ize Beyera, bora kaŋ Assiriya koyo Tiglat-Pileser konda tamtaray ra. Nga no ga ti Ruben kunda jine bora.
7His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
7 A dumey mo, ngey kaŋ yaŋ i hantum asuli lasaabuyaŋ tira ra i almayaaley boŋ d'i zamaney boŋ, ngey neeya: i jine bora Yeyel, boro kaŋ ga dak'a gaa Zakariya,
8and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:
8 da Bela Azaz ize, Sema ize, Yowel ize, kaŋ goro Arower gooro ra ka to hala Nebo nda Baal-Meyon tondi kuuko gaa.
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.
9 I soobay ka kawyeyaŋ cina wayna funay haray ka to hala Ufratis isa saajo me gaa, zama i almaney yulwa ka tonton Jileyad laabo ra.
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.
10 Sawulu zamana ra mo Ruben kunda konda wongu Hagarancey gaa k'i zeeri, hal i goro i windey ra Jileyad laabo se wayna funay haray.
11The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan to Salecah:
11 Gad kunda izey binde goro Basan laabo ra ka tanji nda Ruben kunda ka to hala Saleka.
12Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
12 Yowel ga ti i jine bora. Safam mo ga dak'a ga, gaa no Yanay da Safat Basan ra.
13Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.
13 I nya-izey mo i kaayey almayaaley boŋ neeya: Munkayla, Mesullam, Seba, Yoray, Yakan, Ziya, da Heber -- i boro iyye.
14These were the sons 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;
14 Woodin yaŋ Abihayel izeyaŋ no, Huri ize, Yarowa ize, Jileyad ize, Munkayla ize, Yesisay ize, Yado ize, Buzu ize.
15Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses.
15 Ahi Abdiyel ize, Guni ize, nga no ga ti i kaayey almayaaley jine bora.
16They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.
16 I nangorayey ga ti Jileyad da Basan da nga kawyey, da Saruna kuray nangey kulu ka koy hal i birney meyey gaa.
17All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
17 Woodin yaŋ kulu, i n'i gar hantumante asuli lasaabuyaŋ tirey ra, Yahuda bonkoono Yotam da Israyla bonkoono Yerobowam zamana ra.
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.
18 Ruben da Gad izey, da Manasse kunda jara izey yaarukomyaŋ no. I ga koray da takuba koto, i ga hay da hangaw mo. I ga waani wongu gumo. I soojey mo zambar waytaaci cindi taaci da zangu iyye da waydu no.
19They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
19 I konda wongu Hagarancey gaa, Yetur, da Nafisu, da Nodab.
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.
20 I na Irikoy ce k'a ŋwaaray wongo ra, nga mo maa ka ta i se, zama i de a gaa. A n'i gaakasinay mo ngey ibarey gaa, hal i na Hagarancey nda borey kaŋ yaŋ go i banda daŋ i kambey ra.
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.
21 Israyla mo n'i almaney ku ka kond'ey: yo zambar waygu, da feeji zambar zangu hinka nda waygu, da farkay zambar hinka. I na boro zambar zangu mo di.
22For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.
22 Zama boro boobo kaŋ buukoyaŋ, zama wongo din, Irikoy no k'a miila. Israyla borey binde goro i nango ra hala zamana kaŋ mebarawey kond'ey tamtaray.
23The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon.
23 Manasse kunda jara binde goro laabo ra. I ciya iboobo za Basan ka koy Baal-Hermon ka koy Senir ka koy Hermon tondi kuuko gaa.
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.
24 I kaayey almayaaley jine borey mo neeya: Efer, Izi, Eliyel, Azriyel, Irimiya, Hodabiya, nda Yadiyel. I kulu soojeyaŋ no, boroyaŋ kaŋ te maa, i kaayey almayaaley jine borey no.
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.
25 Amma i na amaana ŋwaari te ngey kaayey Irikoyo jine. I ciya zina-teeriyaŋ* ka laabo din borey toorey gana, dumey kaŋ yaŋ Irikoy halaci i jine.
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.
26 Woodin sabbay se no Israyla Irikoyo mo na Assiriya bonkoono Pul bina zuku, sanda Assiriya bonkoono Tiglat-Pileser no. Nga mo n'i ku ka kond'ey tamtaray, sanda Ruben kunda, da Gad wano, da Manasse kunda jara. A kond'ey hala Haala kwaara, da Habor, da Hala, da hala Gozan isa me gaa mo. I go noodin ka kaa hala hunkuna.
