1이스라엘의 장자 르우벤의 아들들은 이러하니라 (르우벤은 장자라도 그 아비의 침상을 더럽게 하였으므로 장자의 명분이 이스라엘의 아들 요셉의 자손에게로 돌아갔으나 족보에는 장자의 명분대로 기록할 것이 아니니라 2유다는 형제보다 뛰어나고 주권자가 유다로 말미암아 났을지라도 장자의 명분은 요셉에게 있으니라) 3이스라엘의 장자 르우벤의 아들들은 하녹과 발루와 헤스론과 갈미요 4요엘의 아들은 스마야요 그 아들은 곡이요 그 아들은 시므이요 5그 아들은 미가요 그 아들은 르아야요 그 아들은 바알이요 6그 아들은 브에라니 저는 르우벤 자손의 두목으로서 앗수르 왕 디글랏빌레셀에게 사로잡힌 자라 7저의 형제가 종족과 보계대로 족장 된 자는 여이엘과 스가랴와 8벨라니 벨라는 아사스의 아들이요 세마의 손자요 요엘의 증손이라 저가 아로엘에 거하여 느보와 바알므온까지 미쳤고 9또 동으로 가서 거하여 유브라데 강에서부터 광야 지경까지 미쳤으니 이는 길르앗 땅에서 그 생축이 번식함이라 10사울 왕 때에 저희가 하갈 사람으로 더불어 싸워 쳐 죽이고 길르앗 동편 온 땅에서 장막에 거하였더라 11갓 자손은 르우벤 사람을 마주 대하여 바산 땅에 거하여 살르가까지 미쳤으니 12족장은 요엘이요 다음은 사밤이요 또 야내와 바산에 거한 사밧이요 13그 족속 형제에는 미가엘과 므술람과 세바와 요래와 야간과 시아와 에벨 일곱 명이니 14이는 다 아비하일의 아들이라 아비하일은 후리의 아들이요 야로의 손자요 길르앗의 증손이요 미가엘의 현손이요 여시새의 오대 손이요 야도의 육대손이요 부스의 칠대손이며 15또 구니의 손자 압디엘의 아들 아히가 족장이 되었고 16저희가 바산 길르앗과 그 향촌과 사론의 모든 들에 거하여 그 사방 변경에 미쳤더라 17이상은 유다 왕 요담과 이스라엘 왕 여로보암 때에 족보에 기록되었더라 18르우벤 자손과 갓 사람과 므낫세 반 지파의 나가 싸울만한 용사 곧 능히 방패와 칼을 들며 활을 당기어 싸움에 익숙한 자가 사만 사천칠백육십 인이라 19저희가 하갈 사람과 여두르와 나비스와 노답과 싸우는 중에 20도우심을 입었으므로 하갈 사람과 그 함께한 자들이 다 저희 손에 패하였으니 이는 저희가 싸울 때에 하나님께 의뢰하고 부르짖음을 하나님이 들으셨음이라 21저희가 대적의 짐승 곧 약대 오만과 양 이십오만과 나귀 이천을 빼앗으며 사람 십만을 사로잡았고 22죽임을 당한 자가 많았으니 이 싸움이 하나님께로 말미암았음이라 저희가 그 땅에 거하여 사로잡힐 때까지 이르렀더라 23므낫세 반 지파 자손들이 그 땅에 거하여 번성하여 바산에서부터 바알헤르몬과 스닐과 헤르몬 산까지 미쳤으며 24그 족장은 에벨과 이시와 엘리엘과 아스리엘과 예레미야와 호다위야와 야디엘이라 다 용력이 유명한 족장이었더라 25저희가 그 열조의 하나님께 범죄하여 하나님이 저희 앞에서 멸하신 그 땅 백성의 신들을 간음하듯 섬긴지라 26그러므로 이스라엘 하나님이 앗수르 왕 불의 마음을 일으키시며 앗수르 왕 디글랏 빌레셀의 마음을 일으키시매 곧 르우벤과 갓과 므낫세 반 지파를 사로잡아 할라와 하볼과 하라와 고산 하숫가에 옮긴지라 저희가 오늘날까지 거기 있으니라
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. 2For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s:) 3the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites. 7His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon: 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. 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: 12Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13Their brothers of their fathers’ houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven. 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; 15Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers’ houses. 16They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders. 17All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 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 out to war. 19They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and 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. 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. 22For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity. 23The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon. 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. 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. 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.
1De kinderen van Ruben nu, den eerstgeborene van Israel; (want hij was de eerstgeborene; maar dewijl hij zijns vaders bed ontheiligd had, werd zijn eerstgeboorte gegeven aan de kinderen van Jozef, den zoon van Israel; doch niet alzo, dat hij zich in het geslachtsregister naar de eerstgeboorte rekenen mocht; 2Want Juda werd machtig onder zijn broederen, en die tot een voorganger was, was uit hem; doch de eerstgeboorte was van Jozef.) 3De kinderen van Ruben, den eerstgeborene van Israel, zijn Hanoch en Pallu, Hezron en Charmi. 4De kinderen van Joel: zijn zoon Semaja; zijn zoon Gog; zijn zoon Simei; 5Zijn zoon Micha; zijn zoon Reaja; zijn zoon Baal; 6Zijn zoon Beera, welken Tiglath-Pilneser, de koning van Assyrie, gevankelijk wegvoerde; hij was de vorst der Rubenieten. 7Aangaande zijn broederen in hun huisgezinnen, als zij naar hun geboorten in de geslachtsregisters gesteld werden; de hoofden zijn geweest Jehiel en Zecharja, 8En Bela, de zoon van Azaz, den zoon van Sema, den zoon van Joel, die woonde te Aroer, en tot aan Nebo, en Baal-Meon, 9En hij woonde tegen het oosten, tot den ingang der woestijn, van de rivier Frath af; want hun vee was veel geworden in het land van Gilead. 10En in de dagen van Saul voerden zij krijg tegen de Hagarenen, die vielen door hun hand; en zij woonden in hun tenten tegen de gehele oostzijde van Gilead. 11De kinderen van Gad nu woonden tegen hen over, in het land van Basan, tot Salcha toe. 12Joel was het hoofd; en Safam de tweede; maar Jaenai en Safat bleven in Basan. 13Hun broeders nu, naar hun vaderlijke huizen, waren Michael, en Mesullam, en Seba, en Jorai, en Jachan, en Zia, en Heber: zeven. 14Dezen zijn de kinderen van Abihail, den zoon van Huri, den zoon van Jaroah, den zoon van Gilead, den zoon van Michael, den zoon van Jesisai, den zoon van Jahdo, den zoon van Buz. 15Ahi, de zoon van Abdiel, den zoon van Guni, was het hoofd van het huis hunner vaderen. 16En zij woonden in Gilead, in Basan, en in haar onderhorige plaatsen, en in al de voorsteden van Saron, tot aan hun uitgangen. 17Deze allen zijn naar hun geslachtsregisters geteld, in de dagen van Jotham, den koning van Juda, en in de dagen van Jerobeam, den koning van Israel. 18Van de kinderen van Ruben, en van de Gadieten, en van den halven stam van Manasse, van de strijdbaarste mannen, schild en zwaard dragende, en den boog spannende, en ervaren in den krijg, waren vier en veertig duizend zevenhonderd en zestig, uitgaande in het heir. 19En zij voerden krijg tegen de Hagarenen, en tegen Jethur, en Nafis, en Nodab. 20Doch zij werden geholpen tegen hen, en de Hagarenen werden in hun hand gegeven, en allen, die met hen waren; omdat zij tot God riepen in den krijg, zo liet Hij Zich van hen verbidden, dewijl zij op Hem vertrouwden. 21En zij voerden hun vee gevankelijk weg; van hun kemelen vijftig duizend, en tweehonderd en vijftig duizend schapen, en twee duizend ezelen, en honderd duizend zielen der mensen. 22Want er vielen vele verwonden, dewijl de strijd van God was; en zij woonden in hun plaats, totdat zij gevankelijk weggevoerd werden. 23De kinderen nu van den halven stam van Manasse woonden in dat land. Zij werden vermenigvuldigd van Basan tot aan Baal-Hermon, en Senir, en den berg Hermon. 24Dezen nu waren de hoofden hunner vaderlijke huizen, te weten: Hefer, en Jisei, en Eliel, en Azriel, en Jeremia, en Hodavja, en Jahdiel; mannen sterk van kracht, mannen van naam, hoofden der huizen hunner vaderen. 25Maar zij hebben tegen den God hunner vaderen overtreden, en de goden der volken des lands nagehoereerd, welke God voor hun aangezichten had verdelgd. 26Zo verwekte de God Israels den geest van Pul, den koning van Assyrie, en den geest van Tiglath-Pilneser, den koning van Assyrie, die voerde hen gevankelijk weg, te weten de Rubenieten, en de Gadieten, en den halven stam van Manasse; en hij bracht hen te Halah, en Habor, en Hara, en aan de rivier Gozan, tot op dezen dag.
