1 N a, ko nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko ia hoki te matamua; heoi, i te mea i whakapokea e ia te moenga o tona papa, ka hotau tona matamuatanga ki nga tama a Hohepa, tama a Iharaira; na e kore te whakapapa e timata i te matamua.

As to sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel -- for he the first-born, and on account of his profaning the couch of his father hath his birthright been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright,

2 I nui ake hoki a Hura i ona tuakana, teina, he uri hoki nona te tino rangatira: otiia i a Hohepa te matamuatanga:

for Judah hath been mighty over his brother, and for leader above him, and the birthright to Joseph.

3 K o nga tama a Reupena matamua a Iharaira; ko Enoka, ko Paru, ko Heterono, ko Karami.

Sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 K o nga tama a Hoera; ko tana tama ko Hemaia, ko tana tama ko Koko, ko tana tama ko Himei;

Sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

5 K o tana tama ko Mika; ko tana tama ko Reaia; ko tana tama ko Paara;

Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 K o tana tama ko Peeraha, ko tera i riro parau ra i a Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria; he rangatira ia no nga Reupeni.

Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur removed; he prince of the Reubenite.

7 N a, ko ona teina me o ratou hapu, ki te whakapapatia o ratou whakatupuranga; ko nga tino rangatira ko Teiere, ko Hakaraia,

And his brethren, by their families, in the genealogy of their generations, heads: Jeiel, and Zechariah,

8 K o Pera tama a Atata, tama a Hema, tama a Hoera, i noho nei ki Aroere a tae noa ki Nepo, ki Paarameono;

and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel -- he is dwelling in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-Meon;

9 I nohoia ano e ia te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te koraha e takoto mai ana i te awa i Uparati: no te mea i nui haere a ratou kararehe ki te whenua o Kireara.

and at the east he dwelt even unto the entering in of the wilderness, even from the river Phrat, for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

10 N a i nga ra o Haora ka whawhaitia e ratou nga Hakari, hinga iho i o ratou ringa; noho ana ratou ki o ratou teneti i te whenua katoa o Kireara ki te rawhiti.

And in the days of Saul they have made war with the Hagarites, who fall by their hand, and they dwell in their tents over all the face of the east of Gilead.

11 N a ko nga tama a Kara i noho i te ritenga mai o to ratou i te whenua o Pahana tae noa ki Hareka:

And the sons of Gad, over-against them have dwelt in the land of Bashan unto Salcah,

12 K o Hoera te upoko, muri iho ko Hapana, ko Taanai, ko Hapata i Pahana.

Joel the head, and Shapham the second, and Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan;

13 N a, ko o ratou teina o nga whare o o ratou matua: ko Mikaera, ko Mehurama, ko Hepa, ko Torai, ko Takana, ko Tia, ko Epere, tokowhitu.

and their brethren of the house of their fathers Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

14 K o nga tama enei a Apihaira tama a Huri, tama a Taroa, tama a Kireara, tama a Mikaera, tama a Tehihai, tama a Taharo, tama a Putu;

These sons of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz;

15 K o Ahi tama a Apariere, tama a Kuni; ko te upoko ia o nga whare o o ratou matua.

Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, head of the house of their fathers;

16 A noho ana ratou ki Kireara o Pahana, ki ona pa ririki, ki nga taha ano o Harono, ki o ratou taha ki waho.

and they dwell in Gilead in Bashan, and in her small towns, and in all suburbs of Sharon, upon their outskirts;

17 H e mea whakapapa enei katoa i nga ra o Iotama kingi o Hura, i nga ra ano o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira.

all of them reckoned themselves by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 K o nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga Kari, ko tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, no te hunga toa, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te hoari, he hunga kopere i te kopere, e mahio ana hoki ki te whawhai, e wha tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau e ono tekau taua hunga i ahei te haere ki te whawhai.

Sons of Reuben, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, of sons of valour, men bearing shield and sword, and treading bow, and taught in battle, forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going out to the host.

19 I whawhai hoki ratou ki nga Hakari, ki Ieturu, ki Napihi, ki Norapa.

And they make war with the Hagarites, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab,

20 I awhinatia ano ratou ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a ka homai nga Hakari ki o ratou ringa, ratou ko o ratou hoa katoa: i karanga hoki ratou ki te Atua i te whawhaitanga, a tahuri ana ia ki a ratou; mo ratou i whakawhirinaki ki a ia.

and they are helped against them, and the Hagarites are given into their hand, and all who with them, for they cried to God in battle, and He was entreated of them, because they trusted in Him.

21 I riro ano hoki i a ratou a ratou kararehe; o a ratou kamera e rima tekau mano, o nga hipi e rua rau e rima tekau mano, o nga kaihe e rua mano, o nga tangata kotahi rau mano.

And they take captive their cattle, of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of human beings a hundred thousand;

22 H e tokomaha hoki i hinga, mate rawa: na te Atua hoki te whawhai; a noho ana ratou ki to ratou wahi a taea noatia te whakaraunga.

for many have fallen pierced, for of God the battle; and they dwell in their stead till the removal.

23 I noho ano nga tama a tetahi tanga o he hapu o Manahi ki te whenua; i tini haere ano ratou ki Pahana a tae noa ki Paaraheremona, ki Heniri, ki Maunga Heremona ano.

And the sons of the half of the tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan unto Baal-Hermon, and Senir, and mount Hermon, they have multiplied.

24 N a ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua; ara ko Epere, ko Ihi, ko Eriere, ko Atariere, ko Heremaia, ko Horawia, ko Tahariere, he hunga nunui, he marohirohi, he hunga ingoa nui, he upoko ano no nga whare o o ratou matua.

And these heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, men mighty in valour, men of name, heads to the house of their fathers.

25 N a kua he ratou ki te Atua o o ratou matua, kua whai, kua puremu ki nga atua o nga iwi o te whenua i huna nei e te Atua i to ratou aroaro.

And they trespass against the God of their fathers, and go a-whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land whom God destroyed from their presence;

26 N a ka whakaohokia e te Atua o Iharaira te wairua o Puru kingi o Ahiria, te wairua hoki o Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria, a whakaraua ana ratou e ia, ara nga Reupeni, nga Kari, me tetahi tanga o te hapu o Manahi, a kawea ana ratou e ia ki Har aha, ki Haporo, ki Hara, ki te awa o Kotana a taea noatia tenei ra.

and stir up doth the God of Israel the spirit of Pul king of Asshur, and the spirit of Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur, and he removeth them -- even the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh -- and bringeth them in to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and the river of Gozan unto this day.
