1. Tarihler 5

¹İsrail’in ilk oğlu Ruben’in oğulları şunlardır: İlk oğul oydu, fakat babasının yatağına çıktığı için onun kutsaması İsrail oğlu Yusuf’un oğullarına verildi; bu nedenle soy kütüğüne ilk oğulluk hakkıyla kaydedilmedi.

²Çünkü Yahuda kardeşleri arasında güç bakımından kuvvetliydi ve önder onun soyundan çıkacaktı, fakat kutsama Yusuf’undu.

³İsrail’in ilk oğlu Ruben’in oğulları: Enoh, Pallus, Hesron ve Karmi.

⁴Yoel’in oğulları: Semeyi ve onun oğlu Banaya; Semeyi oğlu Gog’un oğulları:

⁵Oğlu Mika, oğlu Reha, oğlu Yoel,

⁶Oğlu Beel; Asur Kralı Tiglat-Pileser onu sürgüne gönderdi. Beel, Rubenliler’in önderiydi.

⁷Soylarına göre askeri kayıt listelerine kaydedilen kardeşleri şunlardır: Önder Yoel ve Zekeriya,

⁸Yoel oğlu Şama oğlu Azuz oğlu Balek. Balek Aroer’de, Nebo ve Belmasson’a kadar uzanan topraklarda yaşadı.

⁹Doğuda, Fırat Irmağı’ndan başlayıp çölün girişine kadar uzanan bölgeye yerleştiler; çünkü Gilead ülkesinde sürüleri çok artmıştı.

¹⁰Saul’un günlerinde yabancılarla savaştılar ve onlar Rubenliler’in elinde can verdi; Rubenliler Gilead’ın doğusundaki bütün bölgede onların çadırlarında yaşadılar.

¹¹Gadlılar onların karşısında, Başan ülkesinde Salka’ya kadar uzanan topraklarda yaşadılar.

¹²İlk oğul Yoel, ikincisi Şafam, Başan’da yazıcı olan Yanin.

¹³Ata konutlarına göre kardeşleri şunlardı: Mikail, Meşullam, Şeba, Yoray, Yahakan, Zia ve Ovet; toplam yedi kişi.

¹⁴Bunlar Abihaya oğlu, Uri oğlu, İdayi oğlu, Gilead oğlu, Mikail oğlu, Yesayi oğlu, Yeddayi oğlu, Zabuham oğlu olanların oğullarıydı.

¹⁵Guni oğlu Abdiel oğlu olan kardeş, ata konutlarının önderiydi.

¹⁶Gilead’da, Başan’da, bunların çevre köylerinde ve Şaron’un sınır boylarına kadar uzanan bütün otlaklarında yaşadılar.

¹⁷Bunların hepsinin nüfus kaydı Yahuda Kralı Yotam ile İsrail Kralı Yarovam’ın günlerinde yapıldı.

¹⁸Rubenliler, Gadlılar ve Manasse oymağının yarısından kalkan ve kılıç taşıyan, yay geren, savaş eğitimi almış yiğit askerlerden oluşan kırk dört bin yedi yüz altmış kişi savaş düzeninde sefere çıkmaya hazırdı.

¹⁹Hacerilerle, Yiturlularla, Nafişlilerle ve Nadavlılarla savaştılar.

²⁰Onlara karşı zafer kazandılar; Haceriler ve onların bütün çadırları ellerine teslim edildi. Çünkü savaşta Tanrı’ya feryat etmişlerdi; Tanrı da kendisi güvenilen olduğu için yakarışlarını kabul etti.

²¹Onların mallarını yağmaladılar: Beş bin deve, iki yüz elli bin koyun, iki bin eşek ve yüz bin insan esir aldılar.

²²Birçok kişi de katledildi, çünkü savaş Tanrı’dandı. Sürgün edilene dek onların topraklarında yaşadılar.

²³Manasse oymağının yarısı Başan’dan Baal-Hermon, Senir ve Hermon Dağı’na kadar uzanan topraklara yerleşti; Lübnan’da da sayıca çok çoğaldılar.

²⁴Ata konutlarının başları şunlardı: Ofer, Şeyi, Eliel, Yeremya, Hodavya ve Yediel. Bunlar yiğit, ünlü ve ata konutlarının önderleri olan kişilerdi.

²⁵Ama atalarının Tanrısı’na ihanet ettiler ve Tanrı’nın önlerinden yok ettiği ülke halklarının ilahlarının ardınca giderek fahişelik yaptılar.

²⁶Bu yüzden İsrail’in Tanrısı, Asur Kralı Pul’un ve Asur Kralı Tiglat-Pileser’in ruhunu harekete geçirdi. Onlar Rubenliler’i, Gadlılar’ı ve Manasse oymağının yarısını sürgüne gönderip Halah’a, Habor’a ve Gozan Irmağı’na götürdüler; bugün de oradadırlar.

²⁷Levi’nin oğulları: Gerşon, Kehat ve Merari.

¹And the sons of Re’uven the firstborn of Isra’el — he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosef the son of Isra’el, though not in such a way as for him to be regarded in the genealogy as the firstborn.

²For Y’hudah became greater than his brothers, inasmuch as the ruler came from him; nevertheless, the birthright went to Yosef.

³So these are the sons of Re’uven the firstborn of Isra’el: Hanokh, Pallu, Hetzron and Karmi.

⁴The descendants of Yo’el: his son Sh’ma‘yah, his son Gog, his son Shim‘i,

⁵his son Mikhah, his son Re‘ayah, his son Ba‘al,

⁶and his son Be’erah. Tilgat-Piln’eser king of Ashur carried him away captive; he was leader of the Re’uveni.

⁷His brothers, by their clans, as listed in their genealogical records were: Ye‘i’el the leader, Z’kharyah

⁸and Bela the son of ‘Azaz the son of Sh’ma the son of Yo’el. He lived in ‘Aro‘er, with territory extending to N’vo and Ba‘al-M‘on;

⁹while to the east he occupied territory that extended to the beginning of the desert as one comes from the Euphrates River; because their cattle multiplied in the land of Gil‘ad.

¹⁰In the time of Sha’ul they went to war with the Hagri’im; after defeating them they occupied their tents throughout all the territory east of Gil‘ad.

¹¹The descendants of Gad lived across from them, in the territory from Bashan to Salkhah:

¹²Yo’el was the leader, Shafam second, then Yanai and Shafat in Bashan.

¹³The houses of their fathers’ brothers were: Mikha’el, Meshulam, Sheva, Yorai, Ya‘kan, Zia and ‘Ever — seven altogether.

¹⁴These are the sons of Avichayil the son of Huri the son of Yaroach the son of Gil‘ad the son of Mikha’el the son of Yeshishai the son of Yachdo the son of Buz;

¹⁵Achi the son of ‘Avdi’el the son of Guni was leader of their fathers’ house.

¹⁶They lived in Gil‘ad, in Bashan, in its towns and in all the pasture lands of the plain as far as their borders.

¹⁷All these were listed in genealogies during the times of Yotam king of Y’hudah and Yarov‘am king of Isra’el.

¹⁸The descendants of Re’uven, the Gadi and the half-tribe of M’nasheh included 44,760 brave men who were available for warfare, able to take up shield and sword, shoot with the bow, or make use of other war skills.

¹⁹These made war with the Hagri’im, Y’tur, Nafish and Nodav.

²⁰They received help against them, so that the Hagri’im and all who were allied with them suffered defeat at their hands; because they cried out to God while they were fighting, and he did as they requested, because they put their trust in him.

²¹From their livestock they carried off 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep and 2,000 donkeys; they also took captive 100,000 persons.

²²Many were slaughtered, because the war was of God, and they lived in their territory until the captivity.

²³The descendants of the half-tribe of M’nasheh lived and increased in the territory from Bashan to Ba‘al-Hermon, S’nir and Mount Hermon.

²⁴The leaders of their fathers’ houses were: ‘Efer, Yish‘i, Eli’el, ‘Azri’el, Yirmeyah, Hodavyah and Yachdi’el, strong, brave, famous men, leaders of their fathers’ houses.

²⁵But they broke faith with the God of their ancestors and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed ahead of them.

²⁶So the God of Isra’el stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Ashur and the spirit of Tilgat-Piln’eser king of Ashur; and he carried them away as captives — the Re’uveni, the Gadi and the half-tribe of M’nasheh — and brought them to Halach, Havor, Hara and to the Gozan River, where they are to this day.

²⁷(6:1) The sons of Levi: Gershon, K’hat and M’rari.

²⁸(6:2) The sons of K’hat: ‘Amram, Yitz’har, Hevron and ‘Uzi’el.

²⁹(6:3) The children of ‘Amram: Aharon, Moshe and Miryam. The sons of Aharon: Nadav, Avihu, El‘azar and Itamar.

³⁰(6:4) El‘azar fathered Pinchas, Pinchas fathered Avishua,

³¹(6:5) Avishua fathered Buki, Buki fathered ‘Uzi,

³²(6:6) ‘Uzi fathered Z’rachyah, Z’rachyah fathered M’rayot,

³³(6:7) M’rayot fathered Amaryah, Amaryah fathered Achituv,

³⁴(6:8) Achituv fathered Tzadok, Tzadok fathered Achima‘atz,

³⁵(6:9) Achima‘atz fathered ‘Azaryah, ‘Azaryah fathered Yochanan,

³⁶(6:10) and Yochanan fathered ‘Azaryah. He functioned as cohen in the house that Shlomo built in Yerushalayim.

³⁷(6:11) ‘Azaryah fathered Amaryah, Amaryah fathered Achituv,

³⁸(6:12) Achituv fathered Tzadok, Tzadok fathered Shalum,

³⁹(6:13) Shalum fathered Hilkiyah, Hilkiyah fathered ‘Azaryah,

⁴⁰(6:14) ‘Azaryah fathered S’rayah, S’rayah fathered Y’hotzadak,

⁴¹(6:15) and Y’hotzadak went into captivity when Adonai carried Y’hudah and Yerushalayim away at the hands of N’vukhadnetzar.
