Primo libro delle Cronache 5

BIBBIA CEI 2008	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Figli di Ruben, primogenito d’Israele. Egli era il primogenito, ma, poiché aveva profanato il letto del padre, la primogenitura fu assegnata ai figli di Giuseppe, figlio d’Israele. Ma questa primogenitura non fu registrata.	1 The sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel. (He was indeed the first-born, but because he disgraced the couch of his father his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, son of Israel, so that he is not listed in the family records according to birthright.
2 Giuda infatti prevalse sui fratelli e un suo discendente divenne capo; tuttavia la primogenitura appartiene a Giuseppe.	2 Judah, in fact, became powerful among his brothers, so that the ruler came from him, though the birthright had been Joseph's.)
3 Figli di Ruben, primogenito d’Israele: Enoc, Pallu, Chesron e Carmì.	3 The sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Figli di Gioele: Semaià, di cui fu figlio Gog, di cui fu figlio Simei,	4 His son was Joel, whose son was Shemaiah, whose son was Gog, whose son was Shimei,
5 di cui fu figlio Mica, di cui fu figlio Reaià, di cui fu figlio Baal,	5 whose son was Micah, whose son was Reaiah, whose son was Baal,
6 di cui fu figlio Beerà, che fu deportato nella deportazione di Tiglat-Pilèser, re d’Assiria; egli era il capo dei Rubeniti.	6 whose son was Beerah, whom Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, took into exile; he was a prince of the Reubenites.
7 Suoi fratelli, secondo le loro famiglie, come sono iscritti nelle genealogie, furono: il primo Ieièl, quindi Zaccaria	7 His brothers who belonged to his clans, when they were listed in the family records according to their descendants, were: Jeiel, the chief, and Zechariah,
8 e Bela, figlio di Azaz, figlio di Sema, figlio di Gioele, che dimorava ad Aroèr e si estendeva fino al Nebo e a Baal-Meon.	8 and Bela, son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. The Reubenites lived in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon;
9 A oriente raggiungevano il limite del deserto che va dal fiume Eufrate in qua, perché le loro greggi erano numerose nel territorio di Gàlaad.	9 toward the east they dwelt as far as the desert which extends from the Euphrates River, for they had much livestock in the land of Gilead.
10 Al tempo di Saul mossero guerra agli Agareni; caduti questi nelle loro mani, essi si stabilirono nelle loro tende su tutta la parte orientale di Gàlaad.	10 During the reign of Saul they waged war with the Hagrites, and when they had defeated them they occupied their tents throughout the region east of Gilead.
11 I figli di Gad, di fronte a loro, dimoravano nella regione di Basan fino a Salca.	11 The Gadites lived alongside them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah.
12 Gioele, il primo, Safam, secondo, quindi Ianài e Safat in Basan.	12 Joel was chief, Shapham was second in command, and Janai was judge in Bashan.
13 Loro fratelli, secondo i loro casati, furono Michele, Mesullàm, Seba, Iorài, Iacan, Zia ed Eber: sette.	13 Their brothers, corresponding to their ancestral houses, were: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber--seven.
14 Costoro erano figli di Abicàil, figlio di Curì, figlio di Iaròach, figlio di Gàlaad, figlio di Michele, figlio di Iesisài, figlio di Iacdo, figlio di Buz.	14 These were the 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 Achì, figlio di Abdièl, figlio di Gunì, era il capo del loro casato.	15 Ahi, son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was the head of their ancestral houses.
16 Dimoravano in Gàlaad e in Basan e nelle loro dipendenze e in tutti i pascoli di Saron fino ai loro estremi confini.	16 They dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and in all the pasture lands of Sirion to the borders.
17 Tutti costoro furono registrati negli elenchi genealogici di Iotam, re di Giuda, e al tempo di Geroboamo, re d’Israele.	17 All were listed in the family records in the time of Jotham, king of Judah, and of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
18 I figli di Ruben, i Gaditi e metà della tribù di Manasse, gente valorosa, armata di scudo e di spada, tiratori di arco ed esperti della guerra, potevano uscire in campo in numero di quarantaquattromilasettecentosessanta.	18 The Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh were warriors, men who bore shield and sword and who drew the bow, trained in warfare--forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty men fit for military service.
19 Essi attaccarono gli Agareni, Ietur, Nafis e Nodab.	19 When they waged war against the Hagrites and against Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab,
20 Erano stati soccorsi contro costoro, perché durante l’assalto si erano rivolti a Dio, che li aiutò per la loro fiducia in lui e così gli Agareni e tutti i loro alleati furono consegnati nelle loro mani.	20 they received help so that they mastered the Hagrites and all who were with them. For during the battle they called on God, and he heard them because they had put their trust in him.
21 Essi razziarono il bestiame degli Agareni: cinquantamila cammelli, duecentocinquantamila pecore, duemila asini e centomila persone,	21 Along with one hundred thousand men they also captured their livestock: fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses.
22 poiché numerosi furono i feriti a morte, dato che la guerra era voluta da Dio. I vincitori si stabilirono nei territori dei vinti fino alla deportazione.	22 Many had fallen in battle, for victory is from God; and they took over their dwelling place until the time of the exile.
23 I figli di metà della tribù di Manasse abitavano nella regione che si estende da Basan a Baal-Ermon, a Senir e al monte Ermon; essi erano numerosi.	23 The numerous members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land of Bashan as far as Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.
24 Questi sono i capi dei loro casati: Efer, Isì, Elièl, Azrièl, Geremia, Odavia e Iacdièl, uomini valorosi e famosi, capi dei loro casati.	24 The following were the heads of their ancestral houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel--men who were warriors, famous men, and heads over their ancestral houses.
25 Ma furono infedeli al Dio dei loro padri, prostituendosi agli dèi delle popolazioni della terra, che Dio aveva distrutte davanti a loro.	25 However, they offended the God of their fathers by lusting after the gods of the natives of the land, whom God had cleared out of their way.
26 Il Dio d’Israele eccitò lo spirito di Pul, re d’Assiria, cioè lo spirito di Tiglat-Pilèser, re d’Assiria, che deportò i Rubeniti, i Gaditi e metà della tribù di Manasse; li condusse a Chelach e presso il Cabor, ad Ara e al fiume di Gozan, ove rimangono ancora oggi.	26 Therefore the God of Israel incited against them the anger of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, who deported the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh and brought them to Halah, Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, where they have remained to this day.
