1 Meʻa Hokohoko 5

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, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son;

1KO ENI ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni, ko e ʻuluaki fānau kia ʻIsileli, (he ko e ʻuluaki fānau ia; ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakaʻuliʻi ʻae mohenga ʻo ʻene tamai, ko ia naʻe foaki ai ʻae ʻinasi ʻoe ʻuluaki fānau ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Sosefa ko e foha ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ʻoku ʻikai lau ʻae hohoko ʻo fai mei he ʻuluaki fānau.

2though Judah became strong among his brothers and a chief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

2He naʻe mālohi hake ʻa Siuta ki hono ngaahi tokoua, pea naʻe meiate ia ʻae ʻeiki pule, ka ko e ʻinasi ʻoe ʻuluaki fānau naʻe ʻia Sosefa ia:)

3the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

6Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites.

6Ko Piela ko hono foha ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni.

7And his kinsmen by their clans, when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

7Pea ko e tuʻukimuʻa eni ʻi hono ngaahi tokoua ʻoʻona ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻi heʻene lau hake ʻae hohoko ʻo honau ngaahi toʻutangata, ko Sehieli, mo Sakalia,

8and Bela the son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.

8Mo Pela ko e foha ʻo ʻAsasi, ko e foha ʻo Sema, ko e foha ʻo Soeli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAloeli, ʻo aʻu atu ki Nipo mo Peali mioni.

9He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead.

9Pea ki he feituʻu hahake naʻa ne nofo ʻo aʻu atu ki he hūʻanga ʻoe toafa mei he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi: koeʻuhi naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻenau fanga manu ʻi he fonua ʻo Kiliati.

10And in the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead.

10Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saula naʻa nau fai ʻae tau ki he kakai Hekaʻā, pea naʻa nau tō hifo ʻi honau nima: pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ngaahi falefehikitaki ʻi he feituʻu hahake kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati.

11The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:

11Pea naʻe nofo hangatonu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa Kata, ʻi he fonua ʻo Pesani, mo Salika:

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

12Ko Soeli ko e ʻeiki lahi, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Safami, mo Sanei, mo Safati ʻi Pesani.

13And their kinsmen according to their fathers’ houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven.

13Pea ko honau kāinga eni ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko Mikaeli, mo Mesulami, mo Sepa, mo Solei, mo Sakani, mo Sia, mo Hepa, ko e toko fitu.

14These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.

14Pea ko e fānau eni ʻa ʻApieli ko e foha ʻo Huli, ko e foha ʻo Saloa, ko e foha ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ʻo Mikaeli, ko e foha ʻo Sesisai, ko e foha ʻo Sato, ko e foha ʻo Pusa;

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

15Ko ʻAhi ko e foha ʻo ʻApitieli, ko e foha ʻo Kuni, ko e ʻeiki ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

16and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits.

16Pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi Kiliati ʻi Pesani, pea ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu tuaʻā ʻo Saloni, ʻi honau ngaahi ngataʻanga fonua .

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

17naʻe lau hake eni kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi toʻutangata ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sotami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

18The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war.

18Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni, mo e kakai Kata, mo hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻa Manase, ʻae kau tangata toʻa, ko e kau tangata naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae pā pea mo e heletā, pea faʻa fanaʻaki ʻae kaufana, mo poto ʻi he tau, ko honau tokolahi ko e toko fā mano, mo e fā afe ma fitungeau ma onongofulu, naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau.

19They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.

19Pea naʻa nau fakalanga ʻae tau ki he kakai Hekaʻā, pea kia Setuli, mo Nafisi, pea mo Notapi.

20And when they prevailed over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him.

20Pea naʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau fai kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe tukuange ʻae kakai Hekaʻā ki honau nima, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kau mo kinautolu: he naʻa nau tangi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tau, pea naʻa ne fakaongo kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi naʻa nau fakafalala kiate ia.

21They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive.

21Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa ʻenau fanga manu; ko e fanga kāmeli ʻe nima mano, mo e fanga sipi ʻe ua kilu mo e nima mano, mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe ua afe, pea mo e kakai tangata ʻe tokotaha kilu,

22For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile.

22He naʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, he naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻae tau. Pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu ʻonautolu ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe fakapōpula.

23The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

23Pea naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua ʻae fānau ʻoe vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase: naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi mei Pesani ʻo aʻu atu ki Peali-Heamoni, mo Sinili, ʻo aʻu ki he moʻunga ko Heamoni.

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

24Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻa Hefeli, mo Isi, mo Ilieli, mo ʻAsilieli, mo Selemaia, mo Hotevia, mo Satieli, ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi, ko e kau tangata ongoongo lahi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

25But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

25Pea naʻa nau fai angahala ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau ʻalu kehe ke muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day.

26Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae loto ʻo Puli ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, mo e loto ʻo Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu, ʻio, ʻae kakai Lupeni, mo e kakai Kata, mo e vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Hela, mo Hapoa, mo Hala, pea ki he vaitafe ko Kosani, ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni.
